Cats

We have a new cat at our house. Her name is Pirate Bella because she has a bad eye and I call her Bella. She is a little calico cat that showed up at our house last Friday. My Dad found her when we were in town and she has just decided to stay. This morning on the way in from the barn Kacheekers was on the front step with a scratched up face. We brought him inside because it was cold out he could not close or blink his eye so it was freezing. We left him inside while we were gone and when Mom looked she said his eye looks like it is drying. Mom says she has never seen a cat lose an eye and now we have two in one week. We all think that Vidalia is the one who is scratching every one up. She is not very nice, she has scratched Raggles on the nose before so she gets in fights.

Raggles update 2

This is another Raggles update. He is out of the garage and running around the yard. He will let us pick him up pet him, he gets wet food, but not by the other cats because Vidalia still hisses at him and starts fights. Raggles comes in the barn and walks around our legs while we are doing chores. In the barn are holes that the bunnies that are out have dug and we thought that the tunnels might go outside. Once when Raggles and I were in the barn this week the door was closed because it was cold out. I went to get him because I had the door open. But when I was go he ran down one of the holes. I waited and then I heard my brother coming up to the barn talking to Raggles so I went out and there was Raggles. So now we know that the tunnels go outside.

Monday

Yesterday, as we all know was Monday. It was snowy, it was icy it, and it was cold. I had a headache yesterday morning till about 12:30. My Mom and brother went to see some friends for lunch. We bowl on Mondays from 2:00 till 3:30. Since it was icy my Dad and I left at 1:00 P.M. so we would have enough time to get there. We only slid once on the way to town and the rest of the way in we were behind a snow plow so it was slow going. I did pretty good at bowling. I got a strike and a couple spares! We then went to the library and picked out some books and a couple DVDs. It is now about 5:00 so we were all hungry so we went Bonanza for dinner. Bonanza has really good tuna salad! It has just the right a mount of everything! For desert I always have apple crisp with vanilla ice cream and a piece of bread pudding.

Snow

Snow! It snowed on Friday till Saturday at our house. There is just enough to make everything white. We even had to shovel the drive way and put the car in the garage. We had to get out Nikki's' winter coat to put on her when we take her outside. We were going to put her booties on her but we could not find them. When Eeyore went out on Friday he looked like he was very confused by the snow and why he didn't have any grass to eat. We had just finished putting up the plastic on the porch for the winter, what perfect timing! Some bad things about the snow are the goat and rabbit waters are frozen and Nikki does not like going out in the cold. Some good things about the snow is that it means Christmas is getting closer. I like winter because it is not boiling hot out, but I also do not like it because it is really cold and waters freeze.
