26/Oct/22 these shovels find the cool dirt

 

Good morning world.

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

In the Summer, when it was warm outside, I would go on the side of the deck and paw at the earth.

I would dig a hole and I would lie in it.

The cool earth was cold on my belly.

But, Tonya has these plants that are on the side of the front deck.

I should say, had.

Now, she has a hole.

Last night, and I could hardly believe my eyes...  they had left overs.

Normally, left overs is something they have for lunch.

If the Big Guy really liked what they had the night before, he will even have it for breakfast.

Like pizza.

Funny how pizza can be for supper.

It can also be a late night snack.

It can also be breakfast.

When the Big Guy and Tonya go to work, they will often bring it in for lunch.

What a versatile food.

I mostly get the crust.

I never get the crust from the Big Guy.

I also never get a whole slice of pizza for myself.

First off, how in the heck do you think I would hold it?

Bye bye fur now

25/Oct/22 please continue to scratch me

 

Good morning world.

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

It is my molting season.

I am dropping clumps of fur all over the house.

When we go outside, it would seem that one of them will start patting me and holding me into position, while the other one picks at my fur that is on my hind quarters.

Eventually, the fact that my fur is being pulled right out of my body, gets my attention.

Then, they throw my fur off the deck and it goes into the wind.

Tonya will go around the house and she will put my fur into the garbage.

The Big Guy, he will also go around the house, vacuum up my fur.  But then he will empty the canister off the deck.

It's not like birds are building their nests at time time of year.

BUT...

There are insects, like bees, that are hibernating.

My fur may make it's way to a corner where they are sleeping.

It may insulate them from the cold weather that we are going to be getting.

Then, next Spring, when the wake up, they need to find flowers to start gathering their pollen.

Normally, the Big Guy waits for the dandelions to go to seed before he mows the lawn for the first time of the year.

He is either lazy.

Or...

He is just helping the bees.

He says it's for the bees.

24/Oct/22 no snow in Cape Breton

 

Good morning world.

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

The Big Guy's oldest daughter lives in Swift Current Saskatchewan.

She posted pictures of the snow they got.2 1/2 feet of wet snow.

That is the snow that kills people.

Due to how heavy it is.

People aren't ready for the extreme work out.

Talking of which, the Big Guy should have used yesterday's nice weather to flip the lawn mower to a snow thrower.

Oh well, he doesn't live life in the past.

Tonya made a ham yesterday.

There was lots of vegetables.

So, I got some veggies in my food dish, but no ham.

However...

The veggies tasted like ham.

She used the water from the ham to boil the veggies in.

Tonya also knows the Big Guy isn't a huge fan of boiled cabbage.

He prefers his fried.

Or raw.

Like when he makes his cole slaw.

Which doesn't have onions, but, yet, I never get any.

We gotta have a chat about that.

23/Oct/22 walk around me

 

Good morning world.

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

Last night, the Big Guy and Tonya had left overs.

Yes, those ribs.

Although there was no bones.

The Big Guy took the time to take the meat off the bones.

I didn't get to have any of the bones.

But then again, neither did any of the critters that comes around looking for their left overs.

This time, the stuff that they normally put in their compost area, went into the green bin.

The compost area, it's where there used to be a very large tree stump.

Honestly, a few bags of earth from Canadian Tire, and it would be all filled in.

They are fixing up the house across the street from where we live.

It was sold about 14 years ago and no one has lived in it.

It's been slowly going into disrepair.

It is nice to see that someone is fixing it up.

I've found, when a house sits empty for a few years.

Somehow or other, it catches fire.

Then the City will come around the bulldoze it to the ground and clean up what is left of the house.

This means, there is more than a few empty lots around where I live.

Well, not around where I live, more like, around other parts of town.

Hopefully, some day, someone will purchase the empty lot and start building a new home.

But then, these new homes are so expensive now.

Just a vicious circle.

Oh, and what are they having for supper today?

Boiled ham.

Just great...

Something else I can't have.

They best put some mashed potatoes out for me.  With veggies.  And 3 extra treats.
