Maxy turned 11 years old on Monday.

He celebrated by enjoying an afternoon in the sun, eating mashed potatoes for dinner and staying up late and watching tv.

Jefferson is doing well.

He likes his belly rubbed and chatters all the time. He has two days left on antibiotics and the sutures should come out of his tail this Friday.

The cold has been pushed back through Thursday, but there’s nothing below a 30 for the high predicted after that. We will see. The first day predicted in the 50s is March 25. This time in 2007 and 2008 we had snow on the ground. In 2009 and 2010 we didn’t, and we had the start of spring bulbs. Sunny and warm in 2012 but cold and snow last year. I think we’re supposed to get another 3-6 inches of snow this Wednesday.

I haven’t seen any robins since two weeks ago. Maybe they’ve given up and headed back south? I wouldn’t blame them if they did.

Also, my favorite of the search terms that lead someone to my site? “postcard made out of catnip” I need to work on that one.
