Penelope

This is my baby Penelope, my kitty. I got her last November from the animal shelter. She was so scrawny and trembled all the time and now look her. She weighs 10 lbs now and has the run of the house. She does not like other people and runs when she sees them or hears loud noises like trucks. I usually put her on a leash outside because I don't want her getting too far away from the patio/yard. She loves rolling around in the dirt.

She is funny, she jumps in the shower once I get out. I don't know why. She likes to knock things off the counters... pens, barrettes, paper, rubber bands, and she chews my papers. I guess she just gets a kick out of it. She also follows me from room to room just to see what I'm up to. When she wants to wake me up she licks my eyelids. Gross but true.

She's always trying to get me to give her people food by placing her front paws on my leg and pleading and though I thinks she cute, she only gets cat food.
When I went on vacation in June I agonized on what to do with her. In the end a friend came and fed her. Someone suggested I get another kitty and then she would have someone to play but I'm not sure I can handle two. We'll see.

Fall

I really enjoy this time of year. The weather can be so surprising...80 and sunny one day cold and rainy the next. I like them both. I can get out and enjoy some of our last days of warm weather and the next day I can sit by my fireplace and read or look at leaves falling of the trees. Today I noticed one of my trees in the front had only a few leaves trying to hang on....beautiful!

Blogging

Last week we had a couple of nights of a full moon...normally I don't believe the moon has anything to do with people's behavior, but everyone at work was having a weird or off day.
Some people were crankier than usual and some forgot to inform other departments about changes they had made in scheduling events. It was kinda of funny to see almost everyone acting out of character.
