Gwen's Big Haircut

As many of you know, we have two cats. Our inherited cat, Gwen, is a hairy beast. She's part Persian and part wild animal. No, literally, she's part wild animal. Anyway, she's very furry. I like it when her fur gets long, because she's a very pretty cat. The problem is, she molts. I can always tell when it's time for Gwen to get a haircut because she leaves clumps of fur all over my carpet. That's when I get frustrated, so we break out the trimmers and the fun begins! Usually we pad the bathtub with towels and go to town. With the weather finally warming up, we opted to get a big ol' extension cord and go outside. Luckily, our cute neighbor was walking by and agreed to take a couple of pictures so I could share the experience with ya'll. Brian holds her tight, and I go after her with the trimmers. Most of the time, she's pretty tolerant. Once in a while, she's squirmy. I think the noise and excitement of being outside made her a little uneasy. Once she got used to the new surroundings, she put up with us. We carefully have to trim away the thick parts, mostly on her sides, and then we trim her up with clippers. When she's had enough, she lets us know. So, even if there are still some long spots, they stay put. Until, that is, Brian can't stand it anymore and trims her up.





After that adventure comes the fun part! Gwen gets a BATH!!! Most cats hate water, and ours are no exception. Gwen is more tolerant than Howie. It's like she knows that were are bigger than she is, and if she just puts up with it, we'll be done soon. She sure looks funny when we're done! This time, Howie got a bath too. Boy was he mad at us!!!

A Glimpse . . .

Preface:
Usually while working, Brian and I have occasional conversation via Gmail chat. Today, while doing a mind-numbing task, we conversed. It was as follows: (click on links for full effect)
me: ok, seriously, what was the other thing you needed from wal-mart
i'm going there on my lunch
Brian: i can only think of shaving cream
we couldn't find salsa last time we were there

cause i don't really need the salsa
it was just a craving
me: no, there was something else that you told me about last night or this morning
prolly last night
Brian: valtrex?
me: nope
Brian: weapons of mass destruction?
a new brain for Howie
me: nope

Brian: howie's brain is on backorder
me: so is mine
Brian: some guy ate mine
me: ew
Brian: why are you sending me these?
me: some guy ate your brain

Brian: oh
me: duh
Brian: hehe
me: now i want to watch that movie again!
Brian: i was thinking hannible
me: and hot fuzz!!
oh

Brian: do you think they make those masks for babies?
that would be SO cute
me: lol
i'm gonna fall out of my chair!

So, I'm sitting at my desk, giggling like CRAZY, when my boss walks out of his office, holding his "Binkie" and just stands there and looks at me. He wanted to make sure I was ok. Then he turned and walked back in to his office.

Epilogue: Now that my boss thinks I'm off my rocker I will have to behave a bit more at work. Although, my boss isn't much of an example. (Proof to come later.)
