Daisy's Birthday, Bitey-Face, and Other Stuff

So, for those of you who haven't been checking your calendars regularly, Daisy's birthday was last Saturday.  She's now 4 years old, so we aren't the same age any more - but for almost a month we were both 3!

Mom was a little slow on ordering Daisy's birthday cake, and with the Pioneer Day holiday weekend, Mom didn't pick up Daisy's cake until yesterday.  But since we're a little fluid about the birthday thing (even Mom and Dad don't always celebrate right on their actual birthdays sometimes), it's all good.  Besides, cake!

Yes, her cake really does say "Crazy Daisy".  Clearly has heard all about her!

But of course, before there could be cake, there had to be The Wearing of the Silly Hats.

I think Daisy is giving Mom the stinkeye...

Still looks like stinkeye to me!

Maybe that's why Daisy got the steampunk goggles - if she's giving Mom the stinkeye, Mom can't see it!

That looks like a 'give me some cake, Mom' look to me! (I know I wanted cake!)

The obligatory pose-with-the-cake photo!

Nom-nom-nom!

Daisy and I both like the icing!

And yes, I got cake, too!  I shared my cake with Daisy, and so she shared her cake with me.  I like this birthday thing!  (And am glad I don't have to wear Silly Hats before getting cake!)

And what does one do after cake?  (And the appropriate waiting time after snacking, of course!)  Roaching in the yard.  And roaching pretty much ALWAYS turns into bitey-face.  Which is fun, too!

It's her birthday celebration; I'll let her think she's winning!

Why does she *always* think I taste like chicken? 

Life is good!

It's been a little warmer lately, so rolling around in the cool grass is a daily activity.  I think Mom has turn the anti-gravity feel into a super-gravity field....

Hey Mom, I think she's stuck to the ground. Can you do something?

And (shocker, I know!), we've been getting some bitey-face here and there.  (And everywhere, according to Mom!  Giggle*snert.)

And while I don't see the point in catching frisbees, I like running around with them!

And yeah, there have been some zoomies!

I know it looks like I'm thinking about catching a tennis ball here.  I might have been thinking about it, but my like my Mom in her early tee-ball days, I sort of close my eyes when the ball gets close!

On another note,Mom was finally able to pick up Fi's ashes yesterday, too (something with COVID-19 delayed the pickup).  Mom said something about how Fi was home again, but I had to tell Mom that Fi has been with us all this time, even if Mom can't see her.  Mom thinks it's me that wakes her up at 4am with snooter bumps, and sometimes it is, but most times it's Fi.  I think Mom really did know Fi has never left us, but she also seems to be happier to have her added to the Rainbow Bridge Table.

Have a great week, and look forward to more bitey-face, roaching, and zoomie photos, because we are in prime bitey-face, roaching, and zoomies shape!

Saint Fiona's Meet and Greet Room

Mom and Dad though the best way to honor Saint Fiona the patient was to sponsor a "Get Acquainted" room at Salt Lake County Animal Services, where she was volunteering up until the pandemic put that on hold. A get acquainted room is where prospective parents and their current pets met future family members. Today was the first time Mom has been down to Salt Lake since mid-March, and she was able to see the sign for Fi's meet and greet room, and drop off the metal print for the room and the plaque.

You can see the sign for Fi's room from the main lobby.

Mom is smiling in this photo, but with a mask it's a bit tough to tell!

This is the photo of Fi that Mom and Dad picked:

And the plaque to go with the photograph:

Thanks to everyone who donated to Salt Lake County's fund raise this spring; it's nice to know that my big sister's life and legacy will carry on!

Good Help is Hard to Find

I always thought Fi was being a bit hard on Mom when Fi would say how you really had to get on Mom's case to help get a bloggie post done, but as usual, I should have heeded Fi's words of wisdom.  Mom is *such* a slacker! Yeah, Mom gives me the same excuses about work, and stuff around the house, and having to take care of our yard (that would be Daisy's and my yard, and the rodents we allow to live there), and all sorts of nonsense that I find hard to believe.  (I mean, sitting at a desk looking at computer screens and muttering things doesn't really seem like work to me. Keeping the yard free of rodents is real work, but sitting at a computer? I find it hard to believe.)

I mean, it has been AGES since I had my birthday, and has there been a bloggie post?  No.  So, it's up to me....  My birthday was June 13th, and only now do you finally get to see some photos.

As you can see, I got some cake, so I guess that almost makes up for the lack of bloggie posts.

3?  Seems a lot like 2 to me.... But it does involve cake.

Surely no one will notice if I just nibble a little icing from the back...

Ooops. I knocked the candle over. Oh well, I guess that means it's cake time now!

Before my birthday, around the 7th of June, we got a little bit of snow, and a good time was had by all!  (Yes, snow. We *like* snow. So any snow, no matter how short-lived, is always cause for zoomies.)

Mom, we really don't want to be sitting here when there are zoomies to be zoomed!

The snow was most helpful in keeping our lawn perfect for, well, the things we like to do in the yard.  Daisy, for instance, likes to dig little holes and then roll on top of them.  (Mom doesn't seem to be too keen on the digging of the little holes, but this is our yard, after all....)

Of course, a yard that is good for roaching is also a yard that is good for bitey face!  And Daisy and I have been watching old bitey-face videos, and I think we can say that we are getting into fine form!

Mom says she has Van Helsing on speed dial. I don't know what that means.

Zoomies!!!

I don't know why everyone says Daisy is crazy. She's just enthusiastic.

Hi Mom! Coming in for a fly-by!

Wheee!!!

There are tons more bitey-face photos, but Mom said something about how I could either have a bloggie post or more photos (I don't see how this is an either-or thing, but Mom keeps saying how she has to sleep sometime....).  So here's a few photos of us looking all dramatical-like.

So Serious! (She fakes it well!)

So, until the next time I can convince Mom to help with a bloggie post (my furry feet don't make typing very easy)!
