a proud sister-to-be

We keep a weekly date with someone very special.

 It is breakfast out and then a bit of time at the local,  little book-store called Read's Book Shop.
Riley loves her bacon, eggs & home-fries so she keeps herself very busy filling her face just like nan & gramps.

Her favorite part of breakfast is the little slice of orange at the edge of the plate.
Aunt Allie came along too and Riley loves her aunt.

See....

She has something she wants you to know. I'll let her tell you herself.





So, this September we will have a grandson. :) That's what the ultra-sound tells us.


I'm just back from my last visit of the day with Puff. His owners will be home tonight and he will be a happy guy. 

Cat-tip-for-the-day=^..^=water for kitty
There are many ways to encourage your cat to drink water. Just like us, cats need water everyday. Moist food is one way to get more fluid into your cat and also placing bowls of water strategically around the house will get their interest. I find in my home the cats drink more if I put water into an elevated dish (such as a tumbler or water glass). I have even used old parfait glasses and keep them filled with cool, fresh water. Our kitten, Audrey loves the parfait glasses and enjoys water several times a day. Our cat, Cali likes to drink from the bathroom tap mostly. Senior and Geriatric cats like Lily & Ed  tend to sleep the day away and need to be encouraged to drink enough water daily. 

Since placing bowls and glasses of water here and there, I am assured now that they are getting enough. I never had much luck with water fountains for the cats but that is another idea to encourage kitty to drink. It is important for their health so try different ways to get kitty to have more interest in drinking fresh, clean water daily.
