1. A recurring dream I have is for more homeless animals to get loving forever homes. Since I can't really remember my sleeping dreams as of late, I went with this. It's so sad going into PetSmart this time of year and seeing all the kittens and young cats. However, there's always a need for good homes for animals of all ages and types.

2. Turn lemons into lemonade. It's corny I know, but looking for the silver lining or counting my blessings and being thankful really does change my mindset when things are tough or sad or worrisome.

3. Home repairs are driving me crazy! We've been in our place just three years and have had to replace just about every single thing-- even our balcony!  The latest is our washer. We'll be at the laundromat this weekend.

4. Lately, I have been a little homesick. Actually, I've been missing my parents and feeling nostalgic for bygone days.

International Box Day

The lady and Pierrot love International Box Day. I know most kitties love boxes, but I just happen to not be one of them. Nevertheless, every year I give it a try.

Pierrot loves to show off how good he looks in a box.

I'm outta here!

Real Hamsters Don't Bite

Real Hamsters Don't Bite by Alexis Cleoford is an imaginative and charming children's book featuring two feline brothers.

This story is written from the point of view of a kitty named Mighty.  I love his descriptions of his life experiences, whether he's talking about chasing sunlight or how he and his brother, Brennon, spend their days: "My life is almost purrfect." His insights seem distinctly feline: "Purring feels like blankets made of the fuzziest velvet."

At the beginning of the story he says to keep reading if we want to know how awesome cats are. Of course, most of us know this already but he does a great job of reinforcing that point. Mighty and Brennon set out on an adventure in their quest to find Cat Land, a perfect place for cats. Their trek encompasses all kinds of adventure and characters.

The end promises a new adventure for Mighty and Brennon.

Sunday Selfies

Hi! We're having a great weekend and we hope you are too. It's warm and sunny. Yesterday, I helped make the bed, spent time on the balcony, played a little and got a chicken jerky treat. Pierrot played a lot as well as enjoyed balcony time and got a treat.

Pierrot was having some fun with this toy.

I was chillin' in my favorite spot.

Friendly Fill-Ins

Today we are joining the Friendly Fill-Ins Blog Hop. It's all about learning about each other and making friends! Thank you to our hosts, 15andmeowing and McGuffy's Reader.  Today, we all are participating. The lady did the first one and Pierrot and I answered the remaining three.

Annie

1. A prop from a TV show or film I would like to own is something from I Love Lucy.  I struggled with coming up with an answer to this.  I decided that since I like vintage things and I Love Lucy, I'll say I'd like an item from I Love Lucy such as clothing, furniture or dishes.

2. My oldest friendship is the lady!  Annie

3. Whenever I sniff Annie, I always receive a growl as a response.  Pierrot

4. The best day is a sunny day with treats.  Annie

Thankful Thursday

I know we've been talking about our balcony lately and how much we enjoy it, but it really makes us happy. It took us a long time to feel comfortable being out, and I, Annie, still will not go out if the big guy or lady is out there.

Instead, the lady will sit just inside in order to watch over us, but that allows me the comfort to go out.

We're also thankful for the hosts of the Thankful Thursday Blog Hop, Brian's Home.
