23/Feb/20 walk around me if you want to get by

Good morning world.

Maximus Handsomius here from my forever home, in Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada.

So, once again, the Big Guy is in the kitchen and he is cooking stuff that I can't have.

Yesterday, he made some molasses cookies and they were all given away.  To some baby shower.  Geesh, even I know, babies can't have molasses cookies.  So, what's up with that?

Just like now...  do you know what he is doing?

He's making a chicken stew.

Yes, the sun isn't even above the horizon and he's already in the kitchen, cooking for their lunches and tomorrow's lunches.

BUT...  there is a problem with this.

He will be putting onions in this stew.  That means I can't have any of it.

If there would be any left overs.  Can you guess where it will go?

In my belly, would be the WRONG answer.

To the sea gulls.  No that would be the right answer.  Or worst than feeding those flying garbage disposal units, he would put the left overs in the green bin.

Now, you would think, he could just NOT put onions in the stew and I could have the left overs.  I would even lick the pot clean so that they didn't have to wash it for the next time they were going to use it.

Denied.

Sigh...  such is my life...

22 Feb 20 I'm dreaming of running thru the snow

Good morning world.

Maximus Handsomius here from my forever home, in Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada.

OK, so I'm dreaming of playing in the snow and having fun.

The Big Guy, not the same dream at all.

He would dream about having a BBQ in the Summer.  Going swimming in a pool.  Not the ocean.  There are animals in the ocean that poops in the ocean.  They pee in the ocean as well.  YUCK!  He would much prefer a pool.

The mound of snow in the back yard hasn't exceeded the height of the fence just yet.  But it could.

We will be coming out of the deep freeze today and then, later on this week.  Rain.  How the Big Guy loves rain.  

Now, lets not get carried away.  He likes rain more than snow.  But he would also like to have some nice weather too.

Tonya got him a roast the other day.  She said it is for him to be able to have his burnt ends roast.  That takes about 3 hours in the charcoal BBQ.

Yea, he much prefers Summer.

Myself, I much prefer the Winter.  I also carry this HUGE fur coat that isn't designed for Summer.

21/Feb/20 it is likely the coldest day of the year for us

Good morning world.

Maximus Handsomius here from my forever home, in Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada.

OK, so for Cape Breton, getting temps below -10 is unusual.  Bit right now, it's -19 with a wind chill of -26 C.  That's like -15 F for people on the other scale.  

BUT...  this will likely be our coldest day of the year.  Everything else from here, will be warmer temperatures.

Just like in about 6 months from now, in August, it tends to be the hottest days of Summer.

It is very hard to believe, when you got temperatures like this, that people are concerned with Global Warming.

So, the Big Guy had this idea.  Since we got a metal roof, the snow and ice melts off the roof.  Now, during more temperate days, there will be frost that accumulates on the roof.  The sun comes up and it melts the frost.

The melted water runs off the roof and on to the ground.  This freezes and creates a bit of an annoying layer of ice that Tonya and the Big Guy have to deal with, when going to their car.

So, the Big Guy went and bought some cat litter.  GREAT IDEA!  That is unless you buy the WRONG cat litter.  He was expecting to get something that looks like gravel.  This resembled like a very fine sand.  Very powdery.  It blew around everywhere.

DUMB idea.

Oh, at least Tonya had a good idea.  She got the Big Guy to make me some new dog biscuit/treats.  But he also go out the pizza slicer, vice the cookie cutter dog biscuit thing.  So now, I got a jar FULL of small biscuits.

Well, it could be worst.  I could have none.

20/Feb/20 be a dear and get me a sandwich

Good morning world.

Maximus Handsomius here from my forever home, in Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada.

So there is a reason that I'm not allowed to go into the bathroom by myself.

I guess toilet paper can be expensive when it is not being used to wipe poop off the human's bum.

But it is just so chewable.

It's like candy on a roll.

I was talking about the snow yesterday.  Well, by the time the Big Guy went outside, it was raining by then.  But he did get outside early enough to take care of most of the snow before the snow turned to slush.

Which is what he wanted to do in the first place.  Slush and snow blower.  They don't go together so much.  Actually it does this thing where it just plugs up the snow blower.

Later on, Tonya had got Floyd, Mylynne, Colby and Aurora to drop by.  They had some hamburgers and hot dogs.  YES!  I got to have some of their food.  It may have been all left overs, but I didn't mind at all.

I'm just glad they didn't throw it out for the Fox to have.
