Pussy. CAT.
I had our rescued Himalyan cat sheared for the summer. Even with brushing, I still have plenty of mats to remove (I use a seam ripper, since I am always afraid I will cut his skin when I use scissors). I figured between the hot weather and my increased lack of spare time in the summer, the Lion Cut was the way to go for ol’ NoNo Goo-Eyes Duncan.
Puppercini thinks NoNo’s new hair cut is dead sexy and has not left the cat alone since he came back from his Wild Adventure. The cat, who outweighs him by at least ten pounds, hands Puppers his ass on a platter quite regularly in response. The D Day for Pupper’s balls has been set with our vet. He’s got no idea what’s comin’.
If gardening with your goat is normal, than you could say everything is back to normal around here. My three kids and I had a nice day in the sun yesterday planting beans and eating clover. Bucky is still in his quarantine pen on account of his lice (which are almost gone) and his having testicles… and while he is within yelling distance of my girls, he gets lonely. We have stopped having to drain his giant abscess and his testicles have descened from within the mass, so hopefully he’ll be getting his balls removed shortly too. Hopefully things will go better for the dog and the goat than they did for my husband.
So far in my 100′ garden of glory (and groans) I’ve planted (from North to South): two cherry trees, 18 raspberry canes, sunflowers, corn, garlic, strawberries, spinach, peas, assorted flowers for cutting, tomatoes, peppers, brusells sprouts, red & green cabbage and beans. And I’ve planted a bunch more bulbs including a whack of ranunculus in a pot (which I cannot wait to see bloom). I have two huge black currant bushes waiting to go in, broccoli transplants, cantaloupe, gourds, pumpkins, cucumbers, zuchinni, basil, carrots, onions and potatoes left. The rest are waiting on 4 more trailer loads of manure to arrive from a neighbouring farm, a few bales of peat (I feel bad for the bogs and the miles traveled, but only until I try to stick my shovel into my cement pad of a garden plot).
And now the pictures.
A seam-ripper. I’m gonna try that on my thatchy-cats (the ones that let me pick them up at least).
I honestly look at the pictures and updates and sometimes get blown away by what a beautiful life you have. I’m so glad Puppers is home and things are back to normal:)
Oh mY Gosh, I love your shaved pussy! Although not as much as Puppers seems to
Yes, you definitely have a beautiful life gal! And them kids are tooo cute!
I wish we could do that to our cats…the hairballs around this joint are unmatched…
And OMG..just read about hubby’s vasectomy!!! So sorry he had to go through that! THAT looked pretty awful
I love seeing your little family and little life on the farm. It looks so amazing. I REEEEEEEEEAAALLY want to come visit after baby #2 is born and at somewhat a good age to travel with!
love annie
So glad that Puppers got back safe and sound from those assholes. He’s such a ball of cuteness.
You and your family look like such a happy, fun-loving bunch. You must be proud of your accomplishments!
meeps looks so much like you, it’s awesome
So happy your pupp came home! Your amazing. I really dont see how you do it! Your a very busy lady. xxx
That picture of Pupper’s and NoNo Goo Eyes is hilarious! Your little goat is super cute and I loved the pictures of the little guy and your family. Too cute! I am glad that he is getting better, what a relief (and that the lice are almost gone too!).
Hope your beautiful weather continues! Can’t wait to see how your garden grows! Mine is doing well. I have a ton of Zucchini in a small area so I have a feeling it’s going to get interesting as the warm weather continues! Also got peas, carrots, beans (bush and pole), radishes and broccoli (don’t know if that will do too well now that it’s getting hot).
Take care!

Your garden sounds awesome and beans are such a great idea! Your cats name is hilarious by the way. I have a recipe for homemade dougnuts. They’re chocolate but the have pumpkin and sweet potatoe in them, not that you’d ever know. If you want it I’ll send it to you. It looks like goats are a lot of fun to have around.
Geeze- that is one heck of a garden! Luckily the kiddos look content with hanging outdoors in the grass.
Man, I love your gooey eyed, testical missing family!
ryan and i are planting our first garden right now. it was tilled over the weekend and we have our cucumbers and carrots planted. we still have to get the peas and beans in, and i’m not sure what else. probably tomatoes, lettuce and radishes. i don’t want to plant TOO much because i’m scared nothing will grow! oh! and we have two blueberry bushes planted, too!
That is an impressive garden Twwly! We’ve been working our butts off to get ours in. We went way to big this year. Tilling with a rather small machine and hand planting a 2176 sq ft garden. All we have left is to plant potatoes and onions. Isn’t it so satisfying to be able to share with your family and friends once it is harvesting season?
Seam rippers have so many uses, don’t they?
So glad your little doggy was found safe and sound!
