Moments D445: Healing Cuteness

Ma-ku, my kitten, is back from the vet and, thankfully doing well.  She's been quite a cutie as she's been healing and today's moment is just a reflection upon those cute moments.

Ma-ku used to like to lay on my chest when she was a wee thing.  As she grew, she understood that she was too big to sleep on my chest any more and the behaviour changed.  She'd be on my lap, or lay partially on my legs, but she wouldn't bother climbing up to my chest and neck area.

Well, since she's been home, that's the only place she wants to be.  In fact, I fell asleep with her late last night (early this morning!) with her on my chest and woke with her in nearly the same position.  Tonight as I tried to eat my dinner in front of the TV, she tried to crawl up again.  I'm sure when I crawl into bed she will follow and lay upon my chest for another night.

She's sore and slow from the medications, but she is happy and purring.  Tomorrow we take a quick trip back to the vet to have her pain medication patch (it works like a nicotine patch) wrapped around her tail.  Hopefully that isn't too traumatic to head back to the vet again so soon.

Moments enjoying that kitty is home again.

Moments being amazed that even animals can be sucky when they aren't feeling well.

Moments D64; Mika the Frug

Today’s moment brought to you by a wee creature exploring the world around her. Today I met an absolutely adorable French bulldog/pug cross puppy. She is wee. She is vibrant and full of life and bounce. She stole my heart!

Her owner was quite happy that my colleagues and I watched her yesterday as he grabbed his morning java. In those few moments she managed to tear into a plastic bag covering a phone book (which we removed from her reach) and then she started tearing out the pages of another book on the ground. (Again removed). She was so cute and her energy was uplifting. I hope to run into her again.

Mika was her name. (This means beautiful smell in Japanese….hope the owner keeps her bathed!) She kinda looks like this frug:

Adorable - right?

Moment of cuteness and joy.

Moments - D11 - A gaggle

Today's special moment was brought to me by a gaggle of geese.  Actually, I think it was a family of geese more than a gaggle, but that's just semantics.  Maybe someone knows the difference if there is one.....

Anyway!

My moment presented itself post volleyball tournament.  We had lost 8 out of 10 games.  I had fun, but it's never fun to lose more than you win.  But, when I arrived at my car, I found a family of geese sitting behind it.  As there was a fence in front of my car, this meant that I was unable to move my car until they decide to move on.  

They were adorable.  Mom, Dad and at least 8 goslings.  The goslings were wee and bright yellow.  Mom & Dad were watching over them as the babies nibbled away at the pebbles in the parking lot.  As I approached, M&D started hissing at me.  I just spoke softly and gently to them and they all started to walk away.  I'd talk and take a few steps, they'd hiss and take a couple of steps away.  The entire process of getting them away from my car took a good 10 min.  But, it was a cute 10 min.  I enjoyed those 10 minutes greatly watching the group work together.

Cute factor for today's moment.

A moment to remember.
