My Mom gets up way too early for me. Every day at oh-dark-thirty, Mom snaps on the light, pats me on my head – sometimes she gives me a kiss – and then, after a bit, she’s gone. Why so early, Mom? Can’t you tell those people you work with that I’m here at home, waiting?
Good thing I’m forgiving . . . and have things of my own to do at oh-dark-thirty – bath time. I have lots of furs, if you hadn’t noticed, furs that need attention because they often have a mind of their own. But some licks here and lots of licks there, and, mostly, they’re back into some semblance of place.
And putting those furs into place assures my Mom will recognize me the very second she walks back through the door. As if she wouldn’t know her Ginger Princess! Ha!

A Colehaus Cats flashback:
2019 – No post 2018 – Wordless Wednesday 2017 – No post 2016 – No post 2015 – No post 2014 – Sharing 2013 – No post 2012 – No post
Not photographed is Pia who said, “Um, no,” and Olivia who just laughed and said, “Don’t know if you never noticed, but I’m already black and white.” And then she snickered some more and sauntered away.
Because it’s been a while since we mentioned it, and because someone asked, AND because Pia never misses a moment to talk about her boyfriend, we thought we’d include some links to help explain.
Pia’s Internet boyfriend is Dexter from the Cherry City Kitties blog (sadly, no longer running). While sitting on Mom’s lap one morning while Mom was reading blogs, Pia first saw a photo of him and was beyond smitten. She couldn’t seem to get enough of looking at that photo, even pawing the screen repeatedly. He lives in Michigan with his family, yet to Pia, he lives much closer. Or maybe that’s because Dexter, or D as she calls him (okay, technically she calls him her Ginger Prince D) “lives” on a cabinet door and in a beautiful frame and his love for her lives in the myriad of toys he’s sent her over the years.
Though life has gotten in the way of publicly declaring her love to D every year on their anniversary in August, she never lets us forget that she’s always thinking of her sweet D.
