Mom’s friend Aaron’s horse had a baby and he invited mom to go see it! This picture is not of Aaron’s horse and pony, it is a photo of a different friends horse and pony I guess this is the season for ponies to be born! Anyway Aaron and mom finally agreed on a good weekend for the visit but did not pick a specific time and then they both got busy at different times and we never did get to visit. And now the pony has been moved to a different property with hundreds of acres where it can learn to live with other ponies. So we won’t be able to visit for a while.

We have a new set of foster kittens! This is DQ who is crazy energetic and does not sit still for cuddling for very long!

Here is Wendy! So cute and fluufy and loves to wrestle with DQ.

This is Marshmallow ha ha that is a funny name! She is very cuddly and adorable.

Sonic is the only boy in the group and at first he really missed his mom and wanted mom to hold him all the time. He would climb up onto her shoulder and try to snuggle in her hair! Now he is bigger and more interested in playing. Mom is glad about that.

Spring Garden!

Something went wrong with the broccoli. At first they looked sad and pathetic so mom gave them some fertilizer and it must have been the wrong kind that made them flower and not produce any broccoli ha ha! That is fine with me I am a Tiger a carnivore.

The snap peas are also not doing so great. Mom bought a different brand of seeds this year and most of them did not sprout. Good thing there is a grocery store nearby where we can buy food.

There are lupines growing wild in the field behind our house!

Here is the border we have been working on for a few years; there are plants that flower at different times so there is usually something pretty to look at!

Auntie Paula went on a trip to Hawaii and sent us a care package of cool stuff and yummy things from both Hawaii and Idaho! Including an awesome flower suncather she made for mom!

ArtFest!

We went to the ArtFest put on by the Spokane Museum of Art & Culture! It was Super Fun! With some really terrific art and artists!

Here I am with Samba who is an amazing weaver from Sierra Leone! He is using elephant grass from his home country to make baskets that he weaves by hand it is really incredible he can weave so fast! Sometimes he also dyes the grass using natural ingredients like plant roots. Samba was really nice and super handsome but not quite as handsome as me/

This is the basket we bought from Samba it is so beautiful and is the Perfect Size for a Little TIGER! Notice that I have a bead necklace made by Samba’s wife and also a piece of the elephant grass that has been twisted into a thin rope.

There was live music at the festival too! This is Spokane Taiko; they perform Japanese-style Taiko drumming it was awesome!

We have new foster kittens!!!! This is Cami and she has beauticul cinnamon-colored swirls through her fur! She was really unsociable at first and didn’t want anything to do with mom but now Cami likes petting and cuddling and being picked up.

And this is Vixen who has a face that reminds us of a fox. She is smaller and younger than Cami even though they arrived together in the same group of kittens, and Vixen would not eat at first so mom had to syringe-feed her for a few days. Now she eats like a champ and is gaining weight fast! It is so fun to have foster kittens again!

Springime News!

Spring is here! We went to one of our favorite plant nurseries the Northland Rosarium where they have about a million roses!

We have to mow the grass a lot this time of year! Plus do lots of other work in the yard.

We have a new foster cat! We named her Emmaline. She came from a very bad hoarding situation where there were dozens of cats living in a house with garbage piled everywhere. Poor kitty! She was scared at first and hid a lot but now she has gained confidence.

We also got a new clothes dryer! The old one would either run endlessly and never turn off or would not heat. We first called an appliance repair company and the nice tech told us it was a bad relay on the control board, and it would keep getting worse. The replacement board was not cheap and the service manager recommended we buy a new dryer since more things would start to break on the old one and a new one would not cost much more than fixing the old one. We LOVE the new dryer! It does not play an annoying boop-doop-a-doop jingle when it is done drying like the old one did that we could never figure out how to turn off.

Sightseeing in Boise!

While visiting Boise we saw lot of cool stuff! We walked along the Boise River!

Here I am at the Wassmuth Center for Human Rights where there is an Anne Frank Memorial. It is a great place to visit and read the inspiring quotes and to sit and comtemplate.

This is me with Auntie Paula at the Idaho State Capital! Wow, they let us just walk in and look around and go up and down the different floors marvelling at the amazing ~~arkitekt~~ ~~arkitechtur~~ building and all the marble!

OMG we ate at some really great restaurants but mom FORGOT to get photos! Here is a photo of empty plates at a restaurant where we had a delicious lunch.

We saw a TIGER at the Boise Zoo! She is so pretty and is probably a cousin of mine.It’s so good to see long-lost relatives!

Visit to Boise!!!!!!

OMG!!! We went to Boise to visit Mom’s friend Paula! They had lost touch for a long time and had not seen each other in over 40 years! It was an amazing trip and we got to fly in the plane that belongs to Paula and her husband Kevin OMG!!!! They are both super nice and Paula is gorgeous and Kevin is very handsome but not quite as handsome as me.

Here I am in the co-pilot seat before we took off! Mom got to sit here and I sat in her lap. We got a special safety briefing so we would know what to do in an emergency and which buttons to push to do things like put the plane in auto-pilot and how to deploy the emergency parachute.

This is me and Kevin doing the preflight checklist. Kevin was a fighter jet pilot in the Air Force WOW that is an important job! Now he flies for business and for fun so this plane is not a fighter jet.

Here we are in the air and flying over mountains!!!! It was spectacular! Mom was excited and nervous but I was brave I am a Tiger. Then Kevin let mom fly the plane for a couple of minutes and make some turns!!!! OMG that was scary and I was happy when Kevin took back the controls.

It was a super awesome BEST DAY EVER thank you Paula and Kevin! Mom we should totally get a plane.

We had a great day hiking in the snow at Mt. Spokane!

The snow was melted off the trees but there is still lots of snow on the ground! Behind me is Mt. Spokane and we are on the trail to Mt. Kit Carson.

At Saddle Road junction we met Kiraen (I hope I am spelling that right) and her her awesome dog Shasta! Shasta is the best dog ever and is a perfect outdoor adventure buddy! Kiraen was gorgeous and super nice and let us pet Shasta who was sooooo soft! Mom we should totally get a dog.

A Turnbull Hike!

We have not hiked at the Turnbull Wildlife Refuge in ages! Here I am at a pond where it is iced over. The snow is all melted! We are having weird warm weather!

It looks and almost feels like summer because it gets to about 60 degrees during the day that is why the snow is all gone. We saw more people on the trails than we have ever seen here – about 8 people! Everyone was happy to be outside in the sunshine!

Look at this super dino truck we saw for sale at the local grocery store!! It is perfect for our yard dinosaurs! We are going to have a lot of fun with this.

New Gutters!

We had VERY COLD weather!!! Here you can see it is minus 2 degrees and this is in the valley near where we live. It is colder up on the ridge where our house is. One of our neighbors has an outdoor thermometer and he told us it was minus 15 one day!

At work some snow melted off the roof and landed on tree branches where it froze. This is mom’s artsy photo of the frozen water. No one has sat at the picnic table lately ha ha!

Here I am with JP and Nick who came out on one of the VERY COLD days to replace our gutters. They said they work outside year round and did not even want to come inside to get warm. They are both super handsome and nice and did a great job we highly recommend them.

It has warmed up thank goodness I am a Tiger with a fur coat but even I have been staying indoors a lot. Now we are getting lots of snow – yippee! It is a Winter Wonderland!

We’ve got SNOW!

It snowed quite a bit last week so we had to get up early some days to snovel snow before work. This weekend it was time to shovel the deck. The snow is light and fluffy! There was some melting so it is icy underneath in spots.

Here is one of the piles in the front yard. I am the Tiger King of the snow pile!

It has also been pretty cold so it is a good time to do indoor things like a jigsaw puzzle. We are also watching some episodes of Game of Thrones! We have our favorite characters. Me and mom both like The Hound; he’s an independent thinker and down to earth and tells it like it is. I really like the dragons! It would be cool if there were Tigers on the show too. Fire breathing Tigers!
