Getting Ready for the Holiday!

Good morning.   Emily speaking to you all from the comfort of the laundry basket!  There is nothing I enjoy more than the cozy warmth of clean clothes that are fresh from the dryer!  I hope everyone is doing well!  Are you keeping your humans in good health?   I have to tell you that Winston and I are having a rough time of it--in the last week our Mom has had a cold, complete with an ear ache!  (aren't you a bit middle aged to have ear aches, Mom?!), a sore foot and back, too.  It's no wonder that Winston and I are tuckered out and need a retreat!  We think we have her sorted out,though.  Phew.  She is exhausting! 
We have had lots of rain in our area.  There has even been some flooding nearby but, thankfully, not near us!
 Mom took this on her afternoon lunch break between rain showers!
I think she took this photo on her weekly walk to the grocery store!
Are there any Canadian felines out there?  Our Mom is excited about Canada Day coming up this Saturday, July 1st!  She is contemplating how to celebrate their 150th!  Perhaps she should have some poutine?

Or maybe she should have a Nanaimo Bar?
Goodness knows she shouldn't have both....and she hasn't had either in quite some time!
Hello now from Winston!   Yes, we are trying to help Mom think of ways to celebrate the long weekend.  Though, to be honest, what she seems most excite about is the time off!  Our Mom wanted to share a few of these "Canadian Problems" she found on Pinterest.  She said they made her smile!
 It's true.  Our geese can be very grouchy!  Whenever Mom encounters them in the park she tries to give them a wide berth!
 The mosquitoes can be quite mean...not to mention the black flies!
 We hope that however you Canadian felines decide to celebrate that you enjoy the day!


Miss Emily signing off for now.   I really must attend to these toe tufts!
Purrs,
Winston and Emily

  1. We hope your mom gets better soon. It's so exhausting to deal with hoomins' endless needs! Enjoy your well earned rest.

    1. That is the truth! We are quite frazzled! Thankfully, she made sure to keep up with the important things-like our food, litter, treats, cuddles.

  2. The City of Detroit puts on a huge fireworks display, in honor of both Canada Day and Independence Day...and both sides of the Detroit River has audiences.

  3. Hi guys!

    There's definitely a bug of some sort going around. Two of our biped's coworkers are sick today, and someone else in the building she was chatting with over lunch isn't feeling well either. Our human was feeling poorly over the weekend, but seems to have rebounded just in time for the work week, lucky her. :-P

    The Canadian problems are funny. Our biped says the poutine looks gross. She's never had it and just the thought of it makes her want to gag. LOL. Very un-Canadian!

    Whatever you all do to celebrate Canada's 150th, be safe and have fun!

    1. Hi there-Glad to hear your human is feeling better so she is fresh for the work week.
      We have to admit that Mom is gravitating more towards the bars.
      Enjoy the the long weekend and thanks for the visit.

  4. Hi Maggie, Emily and Winston, sorry to hear Maggie was sick! Emily and Winston, I am sure you took good care of your Mom.
    There always is so much to do on Canada Day isn't there? Hopefully not too many fireworks, lots of kitties don't care for them.
    Have a good week.

    1. Hi Robin-thanks for stopping by! Winston doesn't mind loud noise much. In fact, when there was a particularly loud thunder clap recently he ran to the window to investigate. Emily isn't too happy with the noise, though. There is a lot to do on Canada Day...especially this year!
      We hope you have fun celebrating.
      Purrs,
      Winston and Emily

  6. We are so sorry to hear that your Mom is having so many issues right now! Hoping she feels better soon. As for the geese, nope, they aren't just a "Canadian problem"........we have the SAME problems with them here in the Detroit area. Come to think of it, we are soooooooo close to Ontario that maybe they think we are part of Canada? MOL!!! Feel better Mom! xoxo
