Hi all. Rosebuddear here. It’s been awhile. Just wanted to wish everyone a happy holiday season and say thank you to Kos, staff, and all folks here for all the work you do. I don’t think that gets said enough by us out here. This place has been instrumental in getting lots of good Democrats elected and we out here in flyover country are most grateful for that.

I don’t spend too much time on this or any other social media these days, I’ve gotten old, less energetic, more introverted and way more busy with this caretaking stuff. I’ve been following the caretaking diaries here with interest, everything everyone said in them is true. I am lucky, Dad is 92, quite feeble, and needs a lot of my time and attention, but he is still very much in his right mind. He and his doggie Herbie say hi.

Still, it’s a full time job. I am happy to report that Dad recently got a pacemaker put in (for years they wouldn’t do it because they were afraid of stopping his blood thinners for a couple of days), and it actually seems to be working as advertised. Yay! Up until quite recently when that was done, we were in the emergency room with him almost weekly, since he has a-fib and congestive heart failure, and Could. Not. Breathe.

Since that operation, he has been comfortable and breathing fine on his current dose of Lasix. What a relief! Knock on wood, again.

Of course, now he has more energy to return to being a crotchety old PITA. 😂😂😂😂. You gotta love him, I have new Dad stories to tell just about every day. I just wish he would quit buying me crap off the TV (yeah he’s one of THOSE) that I Do. Not. Want. LOLOLOL. I now have one of those stupid Angel View mirrors for the car (which do not improve your side vision, btw — front seat headrests block all that view anyway), I leave it on to keep the peace because he thinks it’s wonderful, but I feel ridiculous. Oh well. Pick your battles. hahaha. Still, I am so happy to still have him with me.

So, heck of a ride the last few years eh? It looks to me from where I sit that some of these MAGAs might finally be coming to their senses a little. At least that’s the impression I get locally. Let us fervently hope so, and that it is a trend that will continue.

Anyway, thanks for reading and hi to all my friends, particularly PWB Peeps. I have not forgotten you. Hope you all have a safe and happy holiday season, I just wanted to check in and tell you we are fine here at Casa Rose.

Love, Rose

no image description available — Love to all

Hi all. Happy Monday. It’s been fun and I’m glad we got to spend this time with you. But I and the boys are old and tired. The well of ideas has run dry and it is time to let somebody younger and with more pizazz do this. So I am going to retire back to the occasional comment in your other fine diaries. This will be my last Moondai Furkids.

Thank you all for your love and support. From me and from all my furbabies. The ones still here and the ones that are over the Bridge now.

Have a great Monday everybody! Hugs to you.

Ok since my first attempt to repost this diary didn’t work, let’s try this one. Sorry, I’ve been gone all day, which is why I reposted in the first place. Apologies to the Peeps.

Hello there, my name is Marvin. I have been part of the Peeps gang since 2015. My Mom says I am full of the devil. Well, I *am* a Basement Kitty.

I enjoy many devilish activities, such as the following:

Feeling superior to you (or is this more of a Ceiling Cat thing?)

Stealing cherries (you know I wrote this whole diary just as an excuse to post the cherry picture again, right?)

I may be devilish, but I am also a real law and order kind of guy. And I can prove it.

Happy Monday to all! Marvin, in his role as Devil’s Advocate, is advising that everyone skip work and sleep in today.

Cheers!

It has been a cold, wet spring here. I don’t mind. From all accounts we are in for another hot, dry summer, so we need the rain. But after enough cold, rainy, dismal wet days, you need a break.

We got that break on Saturday. Nice enough (55) to open the porch door as soon as I got up, and just got better all day. It was even too cold before to put pansies out so that was their first day on the porch as well. 75 in the afternoon. Dad and I were able, finally, to sit on the porch and have coffee.

And the boys? They behaved as one recently released from prison. Chasing each other around, rolling on their backs on the porch, issuing challenges to the army of ducks (sorry Freddie!) marching by in formation down the street in front. (My street is a straight shot from the woods down to the lake. We have marching armies of waterfowl all the time.)

My lawn table! I’ve missed you so………………….

Alas, today we are back to cold and rainy. Nevertheless, happy Monday all! I’ll be out taking Dad to about a 1000 doctor appointments. You need so much MAINTENANCE in your 90s. Hugs to all.

Buzzy here. Well as you know yesterday was kind of a Big Day for a lot of hoomans, so we had company.

A few people on My Kitchen Table, cluttering up the place eating and playing cards, and That Dog again. I’ll let Mom tell you about it:

A good time was had by all. A simple ham and vegetables Easter dinner, with the boys retreated to Mom’s room, and Herbie occupying himself begging for scraps under the table and snarfing all the boys’ treats.

Buzzy has a new technique for dealing with Others (Marvin, Herbie or miscellaneous actors) trying to steal his treats. He puts his head down in the middle where the treats are and then moves around that center point in a circle like a clock hand, blocking the usurper with his little linebacker shoulders. Very effective and quite a treat to watch.

Buzzy and Marvin opted out of the festivities early

Happy Monday all! Hope your Easter/Solstice/Spring festivities were fun and all is well in your world. Still cold and a bit snowy here. Stay warm. Hugs.

All of us pootie people love our pootie pads. Sara and Ann have done a wonderful thing for us, making so many of them.

Over time, pootie pads eventually lose their catnip kick. What do you do with them then?

I throw them right in the washer, and then use them anywhere I want a protective pad for furniture, a base for a houseplant, a wrist pad for my keyboard — the uses are endless.

Grandma’s antique needlepoint chair, these days protected by a pootie pad

This helps my wrist working on the desktop

If you miss the “kick”, you can even punch it up a little in the wash. I use plant-based unscented laundry detergent and throw in a few drops of whatever essential oil I like that day. You can even buy catnip essential oil online from places like Mountain Rose Herbs if you want to restore the original flavor.

A word here about essential oils and pooties — the Internetz are full of dire warnings about using them — essential oil infusers will be bad for your kitties’ lungs, catnip oil is dangerous because too concentrated, etc. Well. A little common sense is in order. If you run an essential oil diffuser all day until your house smells like a headshop, well yeah that is probably bad for your pootie’s respiration — also yours. A lady friend of my late Mom’s used to do that — she sold essential oils at home parties and was quite the True Believer. It was kind of hard to breathe in her house. Don’t Do That. For your sake as much as the pooties.

Catnip oil comes under fire because it gets kitties high — and the essential oil is a very concentrated form. Well yeah, I would not recommend spraying your pootie pads with half a bottle of catnip oil or anything. A few drops in a spray bottle only. A few drops in the washing machine — maybe 10 or so — of ANY essential oil is plenty. My favorites are rosemary, thyme, lavender, sometimes lemongrass.

And as for air saturation with catnip — well, I sometimes dry fresh catnip in my dehydrator — that refreshes the whole house with the smell of glorious catnip. The boys love it and as far as I can tell it has never done them any harm.

Do you have any creative uses for your pootie pads? Let me know what they are!

Happy Monday all! I hope spring is sprunging nicely where you are. Hugs to all.

In the narrow space between my computer desk and the wall there was a large heavy subwoofer thingie on the floor, plugged into the wall and attached to the speakers on my computer. This equipment came courtesy of my BIL Ron, who is a fan of large hardware and loud stereos.

On top of that device I put my modem and router and a lot of JUNK. Old keyboards, cables, rolled plastic, cat harnesses I can’t get them into, etc. It was my computer room equivalent of a junk drawer.

Well, after 10 years the speakers and subwoofer/whatever it is have finally gone bellyup. It seems like the perfect time to do a little housecleaning.

Easier said than done. First off, shutting down the machine and turning off all the power — lots of cables to untangle and cords to unplug. Then shoveling out this very narrow corner and trying to sweep it out a bit.

As you can imagine, the boys were very INTRIGUED. This was something they wanted to help with. And help they did. Between sitting on everything Mom wanted to haul out of there, twining around her ankles and tripping her, and playing with all the cords she was trying to untangle, they helped so much Mom is just beside herself.

When I plugged everything back in I was not at all sure it was all back together properly. We had a somewhat-anxious wait through a lengthy rebooting process. But all is well and the trash is all out and that corner looks ever so much better now.

It also creates a whole new area for the boys to explore. Win-win!

Happy Monday all! I hope all your spring cleaning projects go as well as this one did. Hugs.

Here at Casa Rose, we are environmentally friendly. We like to re-use, repurpose, recycle, as much as possible. It’s not even so much environmental consciousness as it is a good old-fashioned reluctance to waste anything.

So I re-use plastic containers. I re-use plastic bags. I cut up old towels and sheets to save paper towels. And I make my own baby wipes and floor wipes for the Swiffer.

It was this last project that has fascinated the boys. Oh look, Mom is laying stuff out and cutting it up! It’s just like sewing! And on the bed too! What fun!

They have been roaming the halls looking for fun these days. Not quite warm enough for the porch, but the days are longer and the sun is shining and someone is in the mood to rumble. So I rumble them as much as we both can stand until we are all tired.

Of course anytime I cut stuff up, the boys want to help. We have a no-counter rule (not always followed) about cutting up vegetables, but they are allowed to help with many other such jobs.

Birthday present wrapping, for instance.

Back to recycling. I have my own formula for baby wipe solution (wet wipes are handy for a great many things). About one cup each baby oil and plain aloe vera gel (the generic kind you can buy in jugs), shaken up with about 20 drops each tea tree oil and lavender oil. This mixture is very soothing to the, um, hinternetherz, as Andy would say. Also smells divine and soothing to the hands. I soak my cut-up sheet squares in it. Remember that useless chopping tool with the catch-all container I ordered a while back? I’m not letting that go to waste either. The cutting grids make great spoon rests, and the container is perfect to hold your homemade baby wipes.

I am cutting up my own Swiffer pads as well, but I have not yet come up with a good floor mopping solution recipe for those. I’ll keep you posted.

Happy Monday all! Stay safe and share your recycling tips. Hugs.

The boys have it. The days are longer, the weather is nice, their porch is open (well some of the time) and the rampaging has continued.

Oh the squabbles. Oh the playful brawls. Oh the 3AM crashes as Mom’s favorite coffee cup goes toppling. You’d think these boys were kittens instead of 8 and 9 years old, respectively.

And the racket is not just indoors. It is spring, and the geese and ducks are back. The air outside is thunderous with the sound of goose calls and duck calls. The street in front of my trailer is a main thoroughfare for geese and ducks on their way to the lake (Freddie would NOT like my porch I am afraid). The boys watch in fascination as hundreds of them march in formation down the street to jump in Poplar Lake at the end of the block. (Poplar “Lake” is more like an overgrown pond — but it is called a lake — and this is the City of Lakes, after all.)

Time to go get some pansy bowls. Even Dad feels it. He wants to go get new plants for his kitchen window. I will help Mr. Brown Thumb, of course. If he follows my instructions exactly, he won’t kill them.

Happy Monday all! I hope the weather is fine where you are today and your critters are thriving. Stay safe. Hugs.

I was going to set my clock ahead. I really was. I made a note of it Saturday evening, wrote it down even…………...and then……………….I forgot. Forgot totally and completely.

However — maybe my subconscious was on the job — I woke up early. My normal rising time is about 6:30, I get over to Dad’s house every morning at 8AM to drink coffee and watch the news together before walking Herbie at 9.

So Sunday morning I woke up at 5:30 (or what I THOUGHT was 5:30). Congratulating myself on being early for once, I got up and was puttering around — and then I went in and fired up the computer. Oh crap. 7:15. That’s right. It’s Spring Forward time. I sighed, seeing my extra hour of chore-doing, kitty-pleasing game-playing time evaporate. Oh well. I was actually right on schedule with the new Daylight Saving hours.

Well that would have been the end of it, except at 7:45, just before I was getting ready to leave, I get a call. I look at the caller ID. Dad. Hmmmm. Hope all is well. I answer, he says “You forgot, didn’t you?”. Now at this point I am still right on time so I ask him “whatever do you mean?”. He says “well it’s a quarter to 9 — you didn’t set your clock did you?". Triumphant, I pounced — “you are confused, O Aged One — it is a quarter to 8 — I will be there in a few minutes”. He says “no way” then apparently checks the clock, mutters some, and says “oh yeah yeah I guess you’re right”.

Of course when I got there I didn’t have the heart to let him go on being depressed all day about getting it so wrong (such incidents bother you a great deal when you are 91 — the spectre of dementia is never entirely out of your mind). So I told him, well I forgot too — it was just luck that I got up what I thought was early.

So then he was happy. “I KNEW IT” he crows. “I KNEW you would forget!”. I said “just think how I’ll be when I’m as old as you”. And he sez “what makes you think you’ll be as old as me?” And on and on, etc etc etc.

I told him next time he springs forward, not to spring so far. He says well I can barely walk to the bathroom so no danger of that.

Herbie doesn’t know from Daylight Savings Time. To him, the whole point was that Mom showed up a whole hour EARLY to do his walk. Oh joy! Oh rapture!

And the boys? They don’t care what time it is. Bothering Mom is a 24/7 job and they never slack at it.

Happy Monday all! Hope the time change has made no one late for work, but if you are, blame it on Dad. He confused everybody. Hugs to all.

It is burgeoning here at Casa Rose. As sap rises in the spring, it is blossoming.

The Urge to Rumble. To bust out and raise hell. To Kick Ass and Take Names.

Ever since the weather warmed a bit, the boys have been rampaging. The door to their porch is sometimes open now, leading to near-constant gallops up and down up and down the hallway, ending in a skid across the kitchen floor out the patio door to the porch. Gallop gallop gallop gallop gallop. Gallop gallop gallop gallop gallop. Gallop gallop gallop gallop CRASH. Oops.

They are taking no crap whatsoever from myself, Dad, or each other. My hands show the results in increased motorboating play scratches, and Dad is finding it difficult to sit down for coffee and cookies without somebody snapping his suspenders for him and pulling his hair from behind on the couch.

Mom feels it too. I’m out of bubblegum as well. Feel like running outside and causing a little trouble. I think I’ll go rip down my neighbor Bobby the Drunk’s Let’s Go Brandon sign and tell him the Chinese did it. Buwahahahahah.

I’m Noko Marie, Don’t Mess with Me.

This diary is dedicated to Volodymyr Zelensky, who is showing our little snowflakes in the Crybaby Convoy what real freedom fighters look like, and also to the Russian lady in one of my Facebook craft groups who posted a cryptic message just before getting the hell off of Facebook for the duration.

Confession time: I wanted to title this diary The Russian Blues, and put up a picture of my beloved Bam-Bam, the beautiful Russian Blue kitty I had in the 1980s. But I decided not to be that overtly political in a kitty diary title, plus all the photo albums with pictures of him are out in the shed.

Happy Monday all! Keep on keepin on and Illegitimi non Carborundum.
