OMG!!!!! This is an ornament made by TIGERS!!!!! We donated to one of my favorite charities WildCat Ridge Sanctuary and as a thank you they sent us this awesome ornament!!!! It is made by TIGERS who have a big blue barrel to play with and they bite and claw it and then the caretakers collect the barrel and cut it up for ornaments!!!!!Our ornament was made by Scout and Atticus they are brothers! They were born at a breeding facility and as cubs were removed from their mom (!) and used as photo opportunities for tourists and lived in small pens it was terrible. But now they live at the sanctuary and are so much happier. I told mom now we have to get a Christmas tree and she said No. I will have to find a good place to put the ornament so we can admire it year round. Not only is this the best holiday ornament ever I think this is the best present ever !!!! On the same day we got the ornament we read in the news that P-22 the Mountain Lion who lived for years in Griffith Park in Los Angeles was euthanized. It was very sad but he was injured and had many other health issues as well. He was sure handsome. Rest in Peace friend.
We have had so much snow! Here I am on the driveway showing how deep the snow is while mom shovels.Lars wanted a picture too! This is the view from the back of the house on Friday.Then overnight it snowed again and we were back out shoveling! Our awesome neighbor Steve came over to help and we also shoveled Jenn’s driveway and sidewalk next door. She was in a bad mountain biking accident and can’t do any snow shoveling.It was a Winter Wonderland!Here is the back deck all covered with snow again!!Last week was the company holiday party. Here I am with some friends! This year no alcohol was served so everyone was a bit more subdued.These are some of the contestants in the ugly sweater\festive attire competition. Bennie won, he is near the middle wearing a cat onesie with a cat sweater that lights up.
There was a big snowstorm and we got a ton of snow! Mom was busy shoveling for a couple of days and our awesome neighbor Gary also helped with his wonderful snow blowers. When the plows came through we had a berm that was over 2 feet high! We do not have many photos because mostly we were digging out in the dark. Also because mom FORGOT.It has also been very cold. When it gets over 20 degrees it feels warm!On Thanksgiving Day we volunteered at the animal shelter to help clean. There were quite a lot of volunteers helping out that day which is really great. Here is a cat overflow room full of kennels that we helped clean – there are so many dogs, cats, and kittens at the shelter waiting for their forever homes!
