Snake Eyes

OK, this is kind of a cheat post because I did not take these photos. But I've been too busy to blog because Ralph and I have been busy with our pet snake! His name is Joban (named by Amy and Noe after the hit comedy I Love You, Man).

Joban!

Noe found Joban in our backyard. He rescued him from the jaws of Big Head and Blackie (two kitties who hang out under our bushes - Ralph and I don't like them very much!) Noe thought it would be funny to bring Joban inside and surprise Amy when she got home from work, because Amy loves snakes in her house (read her blog to find out about our last pet snake).

Ralphie loves snakes.

We put Joban in a tupperware container with holes in the top and had fun pushing him aorund the kitchen. I got bored after awhile, but Ralph kept at it all night, until Amy finally told Noe that Joban had to sleep in the sun room. The next day, Noe let Joban go because he didn't think we could feed him.

I get distracted by the camera.

I hope Blackie and Big Head don't eat our pet! Here's a video of me and Ralph with Joban.

Why does everyone always try to stick Ralph in my pictures?! Doesn't he get in enough on his own?

Spring is in the air

Today it was so warm here in New London that Amy and Noe kept the door to the sun room open all day. The sun room is the perfect kitty room - it is all windows on three sides and has several tables to sit on while we look out. Amy and Noe also store all the cushions from the patio chairs in there when they aren't using them, so we have nice soft cushion piles to sit and sleep on as well. If Ralph and I go in the sun room during the right time of day, there are plenty of pools of direct sunlight to lay in and warm my belly.

Here are some pictures from my day in the sun room - I was in there all afternoon!

Here are all the patio chairs stacked up -
Amy will be glad when these go back outside!

Here is a view of the front-facing door from my cushion.

A look out one of the front windows -
this is our street.

Ralphie likes to look out the back door -
he is looking for squirrels and other kitties!

Extreme Close-Ups

Because I wear my camera around my neck, sometimes it is hard to frame my shots the way that you - a human - would. Plus, the point is to show you how I see things, right? Well, I see things a lot bigger and a lower to the ground than you do! Plus, I doubt you spend much time jumping on tables or rolling around on rugs.

Sometimes I get a little too close to something I am taking a picture of. This happens because I am very inquisitive and like to check things out at close range. Unfortunately, my camera does not always cooperate and the pictures come out strange, like these ones below:

This is a close-up of a dining room chair,
as viewed from the top of the dining room table -
one of my favorite perches.

This is Noe's Indiana University sweatshirt,
taken while I was curled up sleeping on his tummy.

This is the rug in the TV room.
The light was weird because it was night.
I was rolling around trying to get people
to pet my belly when this was taken.

I am pretty sure this is Amy's New Year's Eve
centerpiece from the dining room table.
It was a silver tree made of tinsel and I loved to chew on it!
