Best Pet Blog 2008

The winner of the Best Pet Blog 2008 was Cute Overload. Congratulations CO! It's a great site, but is it a "Pet Blog"? Okay, it features "pets", but is it a "blog"? Inmyhumbleopinionforwhatit'sworth I don't think so. Well, perhaps it sorta is, I dunno... Anyhoo, it beat the foul-mouthed "penguin" blog, which has to be good. That may be a blog but it has little to do with "pets". In fact it has little to do with what this blogger, for one, wants to read at all!

Our lovely Daisy came third, but in my opinion, and I suspect in the opinions of most (probably all) of the Cat Blogosphere, she is Number One. Yay for Daisy! We luvzya girl!

Luvzy'all!

UPDATE

I forgot to thank Skeezix for the graphic. Not that he's compained, but having realised my omission, you know, credit due!

Profile Picture, yay!

Yay! I've finally managed it - I've got a profile picture up!


Oh dear, I seem to have done a "Tripper"! Not sure how that came about - must be the excitement of finally cracking the profile image thing. I'm so excited, this blogging is great fun and a great way to learn stuff. Plus, and even more importantly, there are so many great cats and beans out there who I feel are real friends. I would especially like to thank Skeezix and Daisy for their help, support and encouragement, but there have been lots more of you too. You know who you are...:) :)

BTW, does anyone know who this cat is? I have enjoyed this video at least 3 times a week for 2 or 3 months now!

House Arrest!

Yesterday afternoon I wanted to go down to the shop to get some wine and something for dinner (like you do) when I found I couldn’t get out of the house. The front door was stuck and it wasn’t going to be opened. It would not yield to my polite entreaties. It would not yield to my impolite entreaties (which involved shouting at it and calling it a lot of names on the List of Naughty Words) and it would not yield to all my frantic tugs, which became so frenzied I was afraid I was going to break my wrists (again!). At first I thought, “Ah well, no wine tonight my girl and it won’t be the first time you haven’t eaten all day. Then I suddenly thought, “Crappity, crappity crap, suppose the house catches on fire and I can’t get out?”. So onto the phone I get to my BB Pinky (he so newly released from hospital) to come to the rescue. I felt very guilty, but the medics do say he should take exercise…

So bless his cotton socks, he jumps into his car and comes along to Chez Black Cat, aka The Crazy House, and manages to push and kick the door hard enough to open it. (This will obviously have given his heart a good workout, I hope!) He had brought along a plane and after shaving about two inches off the door sill it became (just) possible for me to open the door without (a) breaking my wrists or (b) swearing.

I managed to open it again today in order to pull up the weeds which were growing right outside the front door, in the concrete, would you believe…? No, the weeds were not the cause of the blockage, it was that the wood which the door is made of had swollen. Crappity crap door! I want to sell this house…erm, any interested, prospective buyers? Going cheap…

In other news, I still don’t seem to have managed to add a picture to my profile, despite following the excellent advice of my good friend Skeezix and all the (so-called) help files in Blogger. *Sigh*. But while I thought I was fairly computer-literate, I know nothing of HTML or Java script, so the more I think I know, the more I know I don’t! It’s fun learning anyhoooooJ
