A VERY WORDY WEDNESDAY

Another thing about Zo ~ it was often easy to create a "series of photos" about her.  She'd get involved with a toy, or some other thing, and entertain herself with it for quite some length of time.  So I could shoot a number of pictures, edit them and them often "caption" these images to tell a story, of course, a story that I imagined for her!  Here are just two out of many from her years spent sharing life with us.  First: The Shuttle Launch.  Second: In The Bag.

ZOEY! THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT!

Zoey ~ photogenic.  
Silly, happy, cute, sometimes furry, 
other times not (that lion cut thing).
And always our little clown.

Here, just a few from her collection we'll call
That's Entertainment!

BEST SEAT IN THE HOUSE

Looks like this will be "Zoey Week" as we're finding so many silly and fun photos of our Send In The Clowns kitty cat girl from the days of life in the Sunshine State ... Zoey was just a total character, always into one thing or another, happy to be photographed (and I obliged her) and more of an awake and active kitty than one to spend a lot of time napping.

Here, I'd moved all the chairs from the dining room, bar stools from the breakfast counter in the kitchen and even the grand-toddlers' little step stool ... all into the living area so as to clean the floors.  So of course, along came the resident snoopervisor, choosing the best seat in the house to observe my work.

Once done, she put on her "oh no you don't" face when I attempted to take down the tower of chairs wanting to return all to their proper places ... defiance, her middle name.

SILLY SUNDAY with ZOEY, 2008/2009

Zoey, silly Zoey (and Maggy, too) both loved to spend time in the master bathroom of our once-upon-a-time home in Florida.  An over sized glass block window provided natural lighting that made photography a joy ... and often, one or t'other would be found napping on that window ledge, or napping on a bath bench we had.  Here, Zoey (our resident clown) ... photos I think taken around 2008/2009 was playfully posing on the bath bench, until she tired, and sat sulkily with a "no more" look on her little mug!

TAMIR, AYLA, DAKOTA, ERIC and CAMERON (2011)

Looking back to a long time ago ~ we set up a "Wordy Wednesday Challenge" for pet blogging friends.  
The challenge was for each, a cat or dog to send us a word of their choice, 
one they thought appropriately described them, and we'd design an image using that word.  
Then we all posted on the same day (in 2011) sometime later ~
Most of these friends are sweet angels now, but we thought it would be fun 
(and hope their dear families agree) 
to take a look back them as they took part in this art challenge, thank you all!

ALL AMERICAN PET PHOTO DAY ~ AND IT'S ME!


 Hey, that's me!  JUNE!  Did you recognize me?
Am I famous?  Well, purrably not ... 
but, if'n you want my autograph I'll happily provide it
for a wholabunch of treats ...

Actually, just about every day at my house is "pet photo day",
mine Mommy can't stop taking photos of me
and I've kinda sorta gotten used to it.
Here are some of her favorites.  I don't have any favorites, actually,
but I was excited (meow thank you) to be pictured today, meow!

THE REAL THING

When mine Mommy and I first discussed the "month of July" and she told me it would all be like old stuff ~ flashbacks, looking back and all that, well I was okay with it.  I mean I had just had "my month of June", my month of me.  Me, myself and I.  A little rest seemed okay at the time ... but fur real ... I've kinda sorta missed being here.  I do like it when all of you tell me I'm kinda sort "cute", my furs get all puffed up and I feel good!  Meow.  So ...

Last night I noticed she'd fallen asleep, in my polka dot chair no less (the nerve of her), and I'd been sitting at the table, watching her get a post ready for Thankful Thursday.  

Me, sitting at the table. 
She had been working on a post for Thankful Thursday today ...
But then she went and sat for a minute ... in my polka dot chair!
And she fell asleep!  It was my chance ...
I moved to the other side of our table,
found this picture and my paw hit PUBLISH!
