Home again, home again!
I meant to post this entry from Myrtle Beach, but I had to sit out on the steps to get my netbook to connect to the internet, and it wasn’t comfortable, so I only occasionally checked my email and did nothin’ else. There’ll be another entry up on Sunday, then probably normal posting (or at least vacation picture recaps!) on Monday!
Newt and the Squirrel.
“Come on down here, Mister Squirrel. I won’t hurt you!”
“NO.”
“Come on, Mister Squirrel, you know you wanna play!”
“NO. You’ll bite my head off and play with my body, and I’m rather fond of having my head remain attached to my body.”
“Come closer, Mister Squirrel…”
“That tree is certainly far away. Did someone move that thing?”
::pondering::
::preparing to leap::
In the end, though I didn’t catch it with the camera, the squirrel leapt over Newt’s head and ran for the tree. Newt was so surprised that it took him a few seconds to catch on what was going on, and by then it was too late. No squirrel for the Newtles. Not that day, anyway.
“OH BOY A FEATHER TEASER! MY FAVORITE!”
“What’s he doing over there?”
“SIGH. I love my feather teaser!”
“How come HE gets all the good toys?”
“I’m kind of bored with my feather teaser.”
“OH BOY! Starsky toes! My favorite!”
“This feather teaser isn’t nearly as cool as he made it look.”
Starsky and Hutch are, shall we say, a little PROTECTIVE of their food bowls.
And here’s some footage of them playing.

your “conversation” photos just slay me! Have you ever seen the videos this guy does of the talking cats? There is also one with the cat talking to the fish in a tank… heh.

Ya know, I just KNEW I felt the earth shake this afternoon……of course! It was your Saturday update!
Little late reading your Saturday update, but I have to say this entry made me want to cuddle those two kittens, Starsky & Hutch. They are adorable, and the teeny wails… I sure do miss having baby cats to pet – nothing sweeter on earth.
Hope you had a great vacation!
Oh Dear GOD those kittens are cute. You always get such awesome pictures of all your animals.
Glad you’re home safe and sound. I’m traveling this week and am getting a bit nervous because I’ll be flying coach (even though I SWORE I never would again). Hopefully, all will survive.
I knew that squirrel would live to see another day. You’d never capture a squirrel’s violent death on camera and post it here. 🙂
Glad you are back…we missed you! Hope you had a great and relaxing time at the beach. There’s no place like home though!!
Ha ha ha that growling kitten video is hilarious. GROWLNOMNOMGROWLNOMNOMGROWL
