I Hope Winter isn't Gone!

My kitty, Winter, has been missing for a couple of days.

I really miss him, he was the best cat, ever. He loved to have the Terriers chew on him, it was like a massage.

Purr Bobb and Winter loved to sleep and play together.

He rolled over a lot, I think it was his favorite thing to do. I hope that he just took a little trip

and he'll be back soon. If not, I will miss his loviness, I will never have another cat like him.

Cougar Rock in Mt. Rainier National Park

Last Monday Bet and I went hiking with Mike and Michelle.

Whoa, that is a big hill!

This is video of the river


Michelle is testing the river with her hands.

I tested the river with my face and it was cold.

Bet stuck her face in too. Yep, all agreed, it is cold.

We wanted to go to the big rock and sit on it so we crossed over the little stream

We saw some cool things like this tree growing around the rock

and then up.


These are the steps up to the waterfall.

And this is the waterfall

We had a great time, thanks Mike and Michelle for taking us.

Cougar Rock is a Tabby!

Puppies Wait

The boys, Mr. Howl and Bowzer, are waiting for homes.

But while they wait, they are helping with Farm work.

And fighting to get in the picture. Bowzer wins this round.

But Mr. Howl sneaks into the chair for a pose or two.

How's that?

The first mole killed by the terriers,

I am so glad that Jaine was the first one to get a mole

Janie and Swift dug it up, but Janie killed it.

They have all been very busy lately while we were haying. All the Ratters followed the mower, then the hay rake and the baler and finally rode in the hay truck fetching up all sorts of mice, voles and a muskrat or two. I was driving the hay truck and Janie was on the center console and all of a sudden went into the back seat and out the window. She grabbed a muskrat shook it and killed it.

Jeepers its Cheepers

Here are the little bugs, I mean, quail.

But they did look like little bugs hatching.

I am so happy that my little quail hatched,

I did not think they would but I got seven little cheepers (baby quail).

And there are more to come in a couple of weeks.

A Couple of Blue Pups

For Camera_Critters I found these blue Rat Terrier pups hanging around the back door.

Puppies are a joy in my life, how could they not be, they are too cute.

We all call the one on the left Mister Howell, the other one Mom calls Blueberry Muffin, Bet calls him Bowzer and I just call him Puppie or Studly.

How could you not want this face?

They are very well behaved pups, they stay

in the yard during the day and they also come inside to sit and snuggle while we read.

Don't be sad just be blue.

Blue Rat Terrier that is.

This Is My Camera Critter For This Week

Purr Bob is not a kitten anymore; he is a grown cat now,

but I see him as a kitten still because he acts like one and he is still as lovey as he was when he was a kitten, and I like that about him. I have always liked tabby cats and he is the best one.

Purr Bob used to be inside every night, but now he likes to stay out with C.C. (another cat) and the lambs in the barn. When I am around the barn Purr Bob hears me and he meows really loud, I know it is him so then I call "Purr Bob is that you?" his meow gets quite and he waits for me to find him.
