Friday August 29th~

I'm not a pet sitter; I'm a pet's second best friend
Compassionate care when you're not there...

 The last Friday in August.  Time sure flies when
 you're having a good time.  Once again it's soon time 
to meet Sniff's pet sitter.  I have been fortunate that Brandy,
 the lady who took care of him before (about 3 years ago)
 will still do it for us.  She lives a bit far from us,
 but said she will be happy to watch Sniff.


I would not trust Sniff's care to just anyone.  Brandy 
may be a bit pricey, but she is a professional and she 
has shown in the past that Sniff's safety and well being 
comes first.  Yes, I am very picky when it comes to
 who watches our cats, right now that's Sniff.


Yesterday we finally got some much needed rain.
  Not much really, but enough to bring the birds
 out of hiding. At some point we had over 5o birds
 eating foodies on our deck.  Sniff had a very busy 
morning.  Also three squirrels showed up.


Arvid and I checked out a “new” place for lunch
 yesterday. We had heard a lot about this pizza “joint” 
as we were both excited to try it out.  We were 
not disappointed. In fact aside from the pizza  
being really good the place was enormous. 


 I never expected it to be this huge just by looking at it
 from the outside.  It also had outdoor seating with water 
view and a full bar.  Seems like we will be going back 
there.  Arvid had his usual Hawaiian pizza.  I had a white
 pizza with garlic cloves, basil and Alfredo chicken. 


It was delicious and we both have leftovers for another
 day.  Mine will last me more than one day.  Back home
 it was still cool outdoors.  As I stepped out to the deck
 I saw Charley. I called her and she ran over. Of course 
I took off to feed her. She does not like to be cooped up 
indoors all day so she has the freedom to choose🥰.


Today not much happening. Most likely Arvid,
 Roger and Russell will have a few drinks together.  
I choose to not go.  I get to have a few hours at home
 alone. I like it and Arvid likes spending time 
with the guys. Works good for both of us. 


Sniff continues to be entertained by the birds and 
squirrels.  His days are full and he does not get much
 sleep.  He makes up for it at nights.  Sleeps from 8pm 
on our laps until I get up in the mornings.  Not bad at all.  
A good day to all and may this be the start of a great
 weekend ahead.  We left him sleeping on my side of 
the recliner last night, woke up he was still there.


Cheers to Friday and the 
promise of a fantastic weekend...
