Shouldn't Bodhi be wearing his ski goggles?

The photo was taken at 6:45 PM local time so the UV levels are relatively low at that time.

Bodhi got skunked last night during his last call before bed.
Luckily we keep a bottle of “Natures Miracle” on hand. That stuff is amazing. It works so good. It took about 10-15 minutes to wipe him down and the smell was gone. And we were all able to come in the house and go to bed.
I highly recommend any dog owner to keep a bottle of this stuff on hand for those late night emergencies.
So this morning was bath day for Bodhi. He was not at all happy about it.

They have a lot of character for a small dog.
Here is the mighty Kipling (all 10 lbs of him) surveying “his” lake on a trip to Maine a few years back…

A handsome doggie.

Reminds me of the time my old cat Peanut got skunked in the backyard. I went outside to see what was going on and my cat came around the corner tearing and drooling. I wasn't sure what to do so I went back inside and did an internet search for skunk spray in cats eyes. We ended up in the shower with me holding a very angry cat getting a lot of water in his face. Needless to say, there were more than a few choice expletives involved. Scared my wife and daughter who still remember it to this day.

Time for a cat nap! I melted Miss Charlotte!

Would anybody be happy wearing a soaked, heavy, fur coat? I don't think so.

Very sad how nature dictates that they leave us.

Maybe if it was 100 degrees and it was ice water.
But not for long. Once the water reached room temperature, it would majorly suck.

My daughter works with retired nuns. She enjoys the job so much that she is getting a Masters of Social Work, specializing in geriatric care. Any hoo, one of the sisters recently passed away. She had a cat named Katt (the sister was Swedish-American). As Sister Ansgar's health was deteriorating, one thing weighed heavy on her mind: who would take care of Katt (who is 16 and is missing one of her back legs–not a good candidate for adoption!). My daughter was worried for Sister Ansgar. I told my daughter to assure Sister that Katt would be well taken care of. I told her much of my day is spent relaxing, petting Ms. Charlotte (who, i think, still misses Stash), and listening to surround music (when i'm not bowling, that is!). Well, look who joined our household this morning:

That pic of Katt on the right...she looks like she's already taken over the household. LOL

I have a big love for gray & white cats. I guess you do too.

Perusing the on-line cat equivalent of Deliveroo?

My son Adam and daughter-in-law and grandkids have a gray and white tabby cat named Franz and he is just the best cat. He always comes and jumps up on the couch when I visit and does the purr/meow (trill) thing as he jumps up.

Here is the very private Dee. She’s a sweetheart, but only loyal to immediate family. She hides when others come over.
