Breakfast at Wimbledon

I am watching Wimbledon and rooting for Roger Federer.

Paws crossed.

 Oh holy carp! Roger won his 8th Wimbledon title! Now he has 19 Major titles, more than anybody else! Woo Hoo!!

Roger Wins!

Oh holy tennis! My favorite athlete of all time, Roger Federer, won the Australian Open! It is his 18th Major title, more than anybody else. Glory be.

I'm so excited I have to go take a nap.

Roger that!

Oh Mm Gee!!! My favoritest athlete of all time, the great Roger Federer, is in the FINALS of the Australian Open!!!

Oh boy oh boy oh boy. I am SO excited.

And so is Little Miss. She is so excited she is getting her camera ready.

Geez, my two favorite things in one post. Lucky me!!

Breakfast at Wimbledon

Yup, Mom and I are watching the Men's final at Wimbledon. We are rooting for Andy Murray.

Spiffy Sunday

Why this photo of my licking my mouth is so stupid looking I do not know.

Except that I'm watching my favoritest tennis player of all time, Roger Federer, win his match at the Australian Open.

AND, we did not get any snow! Woo Hoo!!!  It is so nice NOT to have to watch Mom worry about too much snow on the roof, shoveling the driveway or having to drive in the damn stuff.

I think I'm going to go have a nap.

The Big W

Mom and I are watching the Gentlemen's Final at Wimbledon today.  We are holding our collective breath and rooting for Roger Federer.

I would rather watch than play.

update: My beloved Roger did not win. He was outplayed by the defending champion, Novak Djokovic, who played awesome.

Oh well. Such is sport.

Back Home

It is so nice to be home, in your own bed, with your own personal napping spots.

and your own personal TV. Here's mine...

and in this photo, you can see both Mom and I have access to our own special TV at the same time.

we sure are lucky.

Millie Monday

I don't often nap on Mom's bed, but if I can get on it before she makes it up, it is a comfy spot.

It's that time of year again, the big W. It's gonna be all tennis all the time around here for the next "fortnight." Mom's picks are Roger Federer (duh!) and Andy Murray on the Men's side.

Mom's feeling better, and I make sure she takes a little rest every day.

Easy Like Sunday Morning

This is what it looks like outside this morning.

 It snowed yesterday. (This was taken at lunchtime.) It didn't amount to much. Because it was above freezing all day, the snow never collected on the roads or anything that was warm.

Mom and I are both surprised the snow is melting so quickly. We had so much of it, it seems it ought to melt slower, but that doesn't seem to be happening.  Of course, as the ground warms up (the ground freezes in winter in New Hampster) the snow melts from the top AND the bottom, so it melts faster.  What happens is the season we call "mud season."

Mom and I are hanging out today. She's got some sewing to do, and while she watches tennis on tv, I'll be watching my own personal Bird TV. It's gonna be a great day.

Family Friday

Mom is playing hooky from her day-hunting gig today to get some errands done. She has a busy week next week and will use the day to get caught up.

Mom has to get her stuff ready for the class she will teach at QT next week, and we will be watching the tennis in Oz. Yesterday our favorite guy, Roger Federer lost, so our viewing excitement is somewhat diminished. We will now be cheering for the "second wave" of young players: Stan, Gregor, Vasek, Milos and Kei.

We are both furry disappointed in our pals, the guys named Pat. Somebody decided to play fast and loose with the rules and that isn't fair. We don't understand it.

It's going to be a nice day today, but we will have some snow over the weekend. Are you a When When Watcher? 

Me too!

Easy Saturday

 Mom and I will take it easy today. Mom has to finish sewing the binding on the black crayons quilt and we are watching the tennis in Paris.

The bushes are gone, and the yard looks funny.

Take it easy this weekend.

Stan The Man Sunday

We are furry excited here. Stan won the Aussie Open today.  We have been watching him for some time, and were heartbroken when he lost to the Joker last year. Mom and I are happy to see him win.

Mom will be cooking the books later, and I have found an awesome place to nap. It's a good day.


Mom's feeling better after her fall the other day. She has a boo-boo on her chin (and it looks pretty funny) and a matching set of black-and-blue bruises on each of her knees. Megan had it right. She just can't carry off the black chin as well as I can!

Tennis in Oz

Mom loves tennis. It is time for the Australian Open, so the only thing that will be on the picture box for the next two weeks (outside of Downton Abbey, Sherlock and my pals the guys named Pat) will be the tennis.

I sense prolonged periods for laptime and scritches.

Sounds good.






(but boy, oh boy, was Mom pissed at Julian Fellowes last night...)

Vacation Update

Vacation Day Two was Auntie Karate's birthday. Mom also went shopping for a suitcase. Not a bigger one, but a smaller one. (Go figure.)

Mom says it is a lot lighter and easier to lug around and it will save her green papers because she won't have to check it.  Checkit? I don't see any checks, it's RED! What ever.

On Vacation Day Two, Mom cooked the books, and paid the Mr Bills. She cleaned the human litter box room and the kitchen, and even washed the floors, then she watched the tennis in New York.

Me?

I did this:

At least ONE of us knows the meaning of vacation.

The Big W

As you know Mom and I are big tennis fans. Right now the biggest tennis tournament of them all, Wimbledon, is taking place now. Mom was shocked when Nadal lost in the first round, but Steve Darcis played magnificently. We have a soft spot in our hearts for Roger Federer, who has won the big W seven times, but this year Mom wants Andy Murray to win.

We were very sad to see the Bruins lose last night. Since we are part of Red Sox Nation, the "Broons" are our guys on ice.

It's been wicked hot. (We say "wicked" a lot here in New England.)

I've been hiding in all the cool spots, which is why there isn't a picture of me here today. Instead, here's a picture of how green it is here in the summer in lovely New Hampster.

What Do You Do When It's Ninety-Two?

Find a cool spot (see the fan in the corner?)

Take a nap.

If you're Mom, you make a nice healthy lunch (The recipe is here) and sit back on the couch and watch tennis on TV.

Easy Like Sunday

I'm gonna nap and Mom's gonna watch the tennis on TV later.

Insanity

You know your Mom is insane when she gets up at 3:00 in the morning to watch her favorite tennis player, Roger Federer, play in the Australian Open. Could she have watched a re-run, later in the day? Sure. But she got up, and watched it while it happened. After Roger won, she went back to bed.

What did she do when she got up?

She watched the re-run.

I mean, really?

Andy Murray Did It!

Woo Hoo!!! Andy Murray won!  Andy Murray won!

Andy Murray from Great Britain, has won the US Open!  It's his first Grand Slam Title, and has been a long time coming.  I'm really happy, because I was rooting purring for him.

Woo Hoo!  Concatulations Andy!

The Fountain

Mom knows I've been drinking from my new water fountain because she keeps refilling it.  But she never sees me do it, and when she does, she hasn't got her little camera. 

This morning was different.  Now the whole world knows I not only drink from the fountain, but I like to lap the water from the spout.

Mom and I are going to settle in and watch the Men's Gold Medal Tennis match at the Olympics today. It should be good.
