  • ๐Ÿ“ท April 2024 Micro.Blog photo challenge, Day 1: Toy

    A small dog rests beside a cinched plush toy resembling a log, in a room with a record collection.

    Russell was never all that fond of them but he would occasionally get a toy; he absolutely destroyed the squirrels inside the log. ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿถ #mbapr

    Note: This post was backdated, as I missed the first day.

  • A dear friend of mine would have turned 42 today, if she hadnโ€™t passed away during the Pandemic. Rest in peace, sweet Carolโ€ฆwe all still miss you. I hope whatever you are, Russell is keeping you company, begging for scratches and watching you eat, hoping for crumbs to fall. ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿ’”

  • Someone else didn’t want to wake up this morning either… ๐Ÿˆ ๐Ÿฅฑ ๐Ÿ“ท

    A fluffy gray cat is curled up sleeping on a couch beside a blue pillow, with the text 'lostinhaste.com' overlaid at the bottom.

  • I can’t believe it’s been a year since we said goodbye to Russell. The pain has faded a little but it feels like it’s been both an eternity but also just the blink of an eye since we said our farewells to our little puppy-rabbit. ๐Ÿ’”

    Lots of tears today… ๐Ÿ˜ญ

    A tan fluffy dog rests on a blue quilt and beige cushion, looking directly at the camera. The watermark reads 'lostinhaste.com'.

    We miss you, we still miss you. ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ• ๐Ÿ“ท

  • It’s hard to stay up all night, running around the house, keeping everyone up… ๐Ÿ’ค๐Ÿ˜ผ๐Ÿˆ

    Grey cat sleeping in the sun, curled up into a ball, half on a white chair and half on a red plaid blanket.

    I guess I have become a crazy cat person, all I seem to do lately is take pictures of Alex. ๐Ÿ˜น๐Ÿ“ท

  • Someone is very upset they’re not allowed to eat this morning before going to the vet… ๐Ÿ˜น

    Grey cat sitting (half on grey tile, half on cherry-red hardwood) in front of an empty feeder, looking back to the camera.

    Alex is making his displeasure known, to everyone in the house. ๐Ÿˆ ๐Ÿ“ท

  • I walked into the bedroom and he turned around to glare at me; evidently interrupting his bird watching wasn’t the best of ideas… ๐Ÿคฃ ๐Ÿ“ท ๐Ÿˆ

    Grey cat, with yellow eyes, on a bed, looking at the camera.

  • Rainy day + lazy cat = nap time ๐Ÿ˜น๐Ÿ’ค๐Ÿˆ๐Ÿ“ท

    Grey cat, in a grey/green recliner, wedged into the side, between the armrest and a pillow, with his head on the pillow and his eyes closed.

  • He really does look rather regal here but I think he’s trying to lure me into a false sense of security; I still think Alex is upset about the continuing construction in the house. ๐Ÿ˜ผ๐Ÿˆ๐Ÿ“ท

    Grey-white cat staring in the distance, sitting on a black/white carpet, in the sunlight. Behind him is an out-of-focus plant on top of hardwood flooring with a few pieces of carpet beside it.

  • Yup, he’s still not happy with the construction…it’s almost done but I can tell he’s plotting our downfall. ๐Ÿ˜ผ๐Ÿ˜น๐Ÿˆ๐Ÿ“ท

    Grey cat, on new (fake) hardwood flooring, in the glow of cloudy daylight, looking into the distance. The flooring is vertical planked, with brown carpet in the upper-right corner and mesh anti-slip pads in the upper left corner of the photo, with just the hint of a door.

  • Alex is not amused by the construction going on in the house. ๐Ÿ™€๐Ÿˆ๐Ÿ“ท

  • He was curious about what was going on in the kitchen. ๐Ÿฑ๐Ÿˆ๐Ÿ˜น๐Ÿ“ท

    Grey cat on top of a piano, looking out of the frame.

  • He’s taken to falling asleep in front of the bathroom door…and then when we try to open / close it, he glares. ๐Ÿ˜น๐Ÿˆ๐Ÿ“ท

    Grey cat, on the floor, in front of a door-way, glaring with one eye open at the camera.

  • ๐Ÿ“ธ September 2023 Micro.Blog photo challenge. Day 27: Embrace

    Grey cat, curled up and hiding his face with his paws, on a blue bedspread, with blue pillows behind him.

    He didnโ€™t want to wake up,
    so he was hiding his face,
    in a sweet little self-embrace.

  • ๐Ÿ“ธ September 2023 Micro.Blog photo challenge. Day 26: Beverage

    Two stemmed glasses of mulled wine sitting on a tray, next to plates and a cutting board with cheese, crackers, and knives. The tray is on top of a black ottoman, with the head of a white dog staring at the tray in the background.

    I was never sure if Russell was after the cheese or the mulled wine but I know he was hoping we’d walk away at some point; he made a habit of stealing unguarded food. ๐Ÿท๐Ÿง€๐Ÿถ๐Ÿคฃ #mbsept
