  1. my sniffs | sneeze in a box

    March 29, 2011 by heaven

    as i sit watching another day of rain rinse portland clean… i must admit to not venturing out much the past few days.

    so my own furry sniffs of love get a chance for stardom.  are they worthy?  oh yes.  cute beyond cute and perfect in every way…as i tell them daily.  so perfect in fact that sometimes i am blinded by the glow of their teeny tiny halos. {i of course tell them this too}

    you may remember oliver from the cupcake caper…and now meet his brother ‘synnie’…aka sinifred..sinifur..the grey one…synnie winnie minnie bow tie pasta… mommies little bow tie…ahem.. sorry.

    i have had these nuggets since they were 6 weeks old and they are now striding into middle age…14!  gasthp!!  and yes..they are brothers from the same litter.

    AND

    they love a box.   This is what i came home to the other day.

    'hi mom! don't worry about us...we packed ourselves.' oh my loaves of furr bread.

     

    'ahhhhh.....' ' oh frick...he's totally gonna sneeze on me isn't he!?'

     

    '...cheeew.' 'really dude? you sneezed ON my ear??'

     

    'oh i'm sorry my brother....let me get that for you.'

    'better...thanks. but i'm unsettled now.'

    'well what do you want to do?'

     

    'oh yeah.. this is wayyy better. time for another nap?'

     


  2. a sniff of my own | oliver and the muffin

    March 2, 2011 by heaven

    I really did want to go outside yesterday…i liked the idea of getting out of the house  and away from the computer… but it’s portland in feb and the idea was way better than the actual doing.

    So today….please meet one of my own furry loves…. Oliver.

    He’s not quite a cat.. more of a wee man in a furr suit.   He loves to open cupboards just to look inside.  likes to eat and drink using his toes. and lord help me…he LOVES a chocolate cupcake.  and herein lies our story.  The story of a cupcake left un-attended and a mama who found it too cute to say no..{at first} and instead grabbed her camera. {the role of choco cupcake was provided by saint cupcake}

    first, let's meet the players...one slighly larger but very cute furr boy, oliver

    target of affection... a half eaten choco cupcake

    and this is how it played out.

    oliver's first whiff of the cupcake...desire is stirring..target locked..whiskers at the ready

    first attempt. after this I moved the cuppys in further from the edge and went back to work

    and oliver changed his approach.

    'maybe from this side...darn it...no thumbs..caaan't reach! but..mmmm..nummy..got some on my toe!'

    'almost.. ahhh.. successssss... mmmmmunmch'

    he only got a crumb.. but now is when I started to say…’um, excuse me sir…no cupcakes for you’

    '...grumble.. but i want it!'

    'see..i'm being good.. i'm just stretching'

    'fine. but just so you know... it's not fair.. *huff* '

    *oliver + sniff…out*
