The Adventures of Chancington

My cat, Chance, thinks he is a dog. He likes to do everything Landry, my Maltese, does...like eat dog food, do tricks, come when you call him, sleep in his crate, and go outside. I usually am pretty cautious about letting him outside because he jumped over the fence last year and it took me a bit to find him. This weekend he was driving me crazy meowing to go out, so I let him. Saturday he wanted out in the rain. I thought for sure this would break him of his desire, but he was fine with the rain. So much in fact that last night he wanted out in the snow! Of course, I grabbed my camera to record the momentous occasion...



Oh, Chance...

Hiding...

While packing for a trip, I noticed that my cat, who had been previously perched on top of my suitcase was now no where to be found. About that time, I noticed the end of his tail slowly creep inside the suitcase. Here are the events that followed. Silly kitty...

Finished, Complete, Done, Terminado!!

Path History: May 21, 2008, May 29, 2008, March 17, 2009, April 6, 2009, April 22, 2009, April 27, 2009, May 12, 2009, May 25, 2009, July 22, 2009

I can't believe it myself, well yes, yes I can, BUT we have finally finished the path!

There are no definite plans for the right side of the path and what it should lead to. Right now it just kinda stops. I have thought about some sort of water feature, like a pond or fountain, but there isn't any outdoor power so it would have to be solar. If you have any ideas, shoot them my way.

My dad also planted some grass up around the rock steps. I hope it grows, but if not there's always next year.

It is going to be gorgeous back there in the spring. I can't wait!

It's Raining Cats & Dogs!

A few weeks ago, Gage came over for a visit. We took a little trip over to see Pappy & Mamaw Janice's NEW fence! He was awfully excited on the way over!


And excited when we got there...


...especially when he got the baseball.


He carried it, and by it I mean 2, everywhere he went...


...until it was destruction time (hence the 2)!


The next day we hung around the house to pass the morning.


Gage was just wanting to love on Chance and he was having NO part of it!


Gage is a such gorgeous dog!


Then, Pappy came over and we all worked on the yard.


Landry more so than Gage...



Last week he came to visit again! Somehow I got them all to sit still for 2.2 seconds while I snapped their picture.


Chance was feeling loving...like always.


Now, before you go thinking that I take all kinds of pictures with my animals, I just have to say the only reason I posted these is because Landry and I have the exact same expression in them all!

Sweet little big HUGE Gage.


My baby...with a new bath and haircut!


Jere not wanting his picture taken...


My little love muffin not wanting Mommy to put him in his house when she left.

They Go Together...

Like Peas in a Pod

I Love You!

I was just thinking last night about how happy my pets make me. They add a lot to the value of life. Not to mention they never get mad at you! I recently cut Landry's hair all off. He looks so cute! I will have to take a better pic, but I couldn't resist posting this one.

Chance is growing like a weed. I haven't weighed him lately, but I would guess it's around 6 pounds!

Happy Birthday, Dad!

Yesterday was my Dad's birthday. I made a butter pecan cake with butter cream icing (a request) for the celebration. The grand kids even came along to wish him a happy birthday!



Then we got side tracked playing with Chance. He loved the ribbon off Dad's present.






And as an extra present for my Dad, I'm finally going to post the video of a Zepplin cover band with an orchestra I watched from my Mom's balcony in Baltimore. It's only a month late! Oh and just some advice...don't actually watch the video, just listen. My camera skills weren't the greatest on this one. ;)


"Black Dog"

Chance.

His name is Chance. I think it's pretty fitting.
