>What are everyone else's fuzzers up to?

Our fuzzers have been feeling SO neglected.  Summer means kids are out of school, and my orthodontic lab was nearly overwhelmed with cases.  Plus - my 18 y/o granddaughter was married on 24 Aug, so I stole 4 precious days to go up to Wisconsin for that.  WOW!  Does my DIL know how to throw a party for 250 wedding guests!  The catered food never stopped, and the wine flowed freely!

Got back just in time for our local "30-Mile Yard Sale," which occupied the entire Labor Day weekend.  Since the route is on Hwy 69, which just happens to be our street, the traffic was non-stop. The fuzzers soon got used to all the strangers in the yard, who "Oooh-ed" and "Ahh-ed" over the furry observers inside the screen door.

Last weekend, I commented to S.P. how funny it is, that every time I go to the john, Holly comes in, and climbs into the litterbox to do her thing.  He grinned, and said, "She does it whenever I go in there, too."  I guess she's definitely patterned on us.  Either that, or she's figured out what the bathroom is for.  But her timing, in lockstep with us, would suggest the former. What a funny fuzzer!

And speaking of funny - Artie-Pharghtie SO loves having his soft tummy petted, that anytime I sit down, he flops down near me and turns his pretty tummy up to the breeze, giving me that endearing, upside-down look that says, "Pet my tummy, Mommy!"  Whatta shameless hussy-ho!!  Of course, I comply, because he's so irresisibly cute!  Am I wrapped around his fuzzy little paw?? NAH!  Not much, anyway.
