wish you were here

It's amazingly warm for

this time of year!

Look what I found!

I was on the computer this morning when Macey started scratching really, really hard

on the front window.

I leaned back in my chair to see what she was freaked out about.

Right there in the front bushes of my house was a

cute grey cat. Awww...

So I jumped up & ran outside in my pj's to see if I could get it to

come to me.

I was totally thinking that I could catch this stray cat & keep it for Christmas.

Then I noticed the short tail.

And the white scruffy around its face.

HOLY COW!

That's a BOBCAT!

(BTW - I didn't take this pic - but I wish I did!)

I watched it scamper across the street when another one came from the

area near the back of our house, near the side yard.

They weren't very big - I think they must've been young.

First I called "Here Kitty-Kitty"

but that scared it & it started to run away.

Then it came back to meet up with the first little guy I saw.

I made a 'kissing' noise & it acted like it might come to me!

I panicked & made a quick movement

that sent the two of them running into the woods behind the house.

Dang!

I almost had a really cool Christmas gift for Madison.

Quincy

Quincy will go to the vet for surgery on Friday.

He has a cyst growing under his eyelid that is giving him some grief.

He's going to have it removed & we decided to get his

teeth cleaned too since he'll be anesthetized (i spelled that without looking it up!).

I don't know quite what to expect with this teeth cleaning thing.

Seems awfully expensive - please comment if you think it's worth it.

Quiet time

When I got home from work tonight there was no one here. Just the dogs.

Nice.

And quiet.

I've had a lot on my mind lately & it seems like my mind never rests. Which wears me out.

Jared & Dillon are each at work and Howie & Scott are busy. Madison's at a friend's house.

Here are the books I'm currently reading to help me re-group & re-prioritize. I've had these books for years and remember gleaning some valuable insight from them. They are really helping me... again. I should take advantage of this quiet time & read, but I rarely find time to update here. Hmmm...
