At the end of winter we had a ton of snow!
One day it snowed for 11 hours nonstop!!! It was warm so luckily it did not accumulate much on the streets. I helped mom shovel.
One morning we woke up to half a foot of snow! The forecast said it would be an inch or two so that was a fun surprise! This is how it looked on the way to work a couple weeks ago.
But look at this! We went hiking at the Turnbull Wildlife Refuge this weekend and there is almost no snow!!

It was so great to get outside in the sunshine and to see grass again!!

We went to the theater again with Margo! She is so beautiful and is so glamorous! Margo is on crutches because she had some surgery on her leg – ouch!
Here it is before the show. Stage Left is a very cool theater – very small and intimate.
OMG!!! Our good friend David was in the cast!!! David and mom work together but he is also an actor! In this photo it is right after the play ended so he still has his stage makeup on. He has been coming to work with eyeliner on because it can be hard to remove it, ha ha! David is super smart and nice and handsome, and here is Margo again looking fabulous.
It is still Winter! For a while we had cold weather with wind so it was below zero with the wind chill. Then one night it dumped half a foot of snow! That took a lot of shoveling. Mom says she is ready for Spring.

Mom has been very busy at work so I have not posted in this blog for a while, but one weekend we went to a new exhibit at the art and culture museum. These works of art are made by sewing little tiny beads onto cloth! It is incredible! They are made by a group of women in South Africa.
The photos do not do justice to the work, you really have to see it in person!
A lot of the shapes in the design are symbolic so the art is very meaningful to the artists. I love the contemporary designs!
The museum let us make stuff with beads! So I made a necklace using my favorite colors!!!
Then just last weekend we went to the theater to see a play!
Here I am before the show with my good friend Margo! Who is so beautiful!!!

We have had more snowstorms in the last week!
When the big snowflakes fall and stick to the trees it is a winter wonderland! Some Artic air has moved in and we have single digit temperatures overnight! I am a Tiger I have a fur coat but mom gets cold.
I have not posted in a while because mom has been working on a big project at work and been busy but we Finally had time to take the car to the car wash – it was filthy! Mom says we have lots of photos of the car wash it is not that interesting but I LOVE the car wash!
Exciting news! Mom had a photo published in a Facebook group for cats with earplane ears! It is a very funny group, so many cat lovers who make hilarious comments about the photos that are posted.

Tigers like getting presents!! These are from Aunties Darcy and Nicolyn! Giving gifts is also a good thing to do.
We had cold weather and freezing rain! The sidewalks and driveway were a sheet of ice! When it warmed up enough we were able to get the edge of a shovel under it to break it up. That was a lot of work!
For Christmas we went to Joni and Gary’s house. After dinner we played a card game and mom lost most often ha ha! Joni and Gary are super nice and also very beautiful and are awesome neighbors!

Best Holiday Ornament EVER!!!

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!

New Flooring!

Here is a BEFORE picture of our living room floor. I also have a great photo of all the furniture piled up in the dining area but mom would not let me post that.
DURING photo – after the carpet was removed and the new flooring was going in.
Here is the AFTER photo with Frank the amazing installer! He does such a great job, works efficiently, doesn’t mind if we tromp past him while he works, and has funny stories.
Also this is Heathcliff one of our foster cats. He hated being at the shelter and he hated mom at first too. He hid all the time and would hiss and growl at her if she walked past his hiding spot. Then after 6 weeks he came out to be petted and he is the biggest love bug! Now all he wants to do is be cuddled.
