Our Pom, Kodi had a date at a neighborhood dog park the other day. We are looking for a bigger female to help calm him down. We met with a foster parent who brought a Pomski (combo Pom and Husky). It didn’t seem like a good match so we’ll just continue looking. It was nice being outside!!

Our tabby Lizzy, continuing her knee healing mission with me. She likes it when I put the ice packs on my knee so she can go lay on me.

On other knee news, I have been released from home health PT. In fact I got cleared for not using the walker any longer, nor a cane. I can just walk. Slowly. The home health nurse said that I was the only one of her patients who got knee replacements the same week I did that is walking on their own. I will say that I worked my butt off on both the pre-surgery exercises and then again on post surgery. So I start at studio PT hopefully next week. Right now I can go to the gym but no submerging the incision in water. They advised me not to drive just yet and I agree with them. I like being chauferred around by my wife. My wife has been a lifesaver on this surgery recovery in a bunch of different ways. I’m a blessed man, what can I say.

Saturday’s Critters – 23 November 2024 Edition

A couple of geese on Tulsa’s Swan Lake (which is really a large pond.)

Our chill cat Lizzy taking bathing herself on the back of our sectional.

And yawning big for a nap.

Kodi, our Pomeranian is settling in for a nap as well. This is all making me sleepy.

Saturday’s Critters – Late March 2024 Edition

My wife and I were taking our dog for a walk the other day and we came upon this guy/gal. INaturalist says it is a Ruddy Shelduck. It had three friends nearby and they had a very cool vocalization that I did not capture. I come to find out that a neighboring subdivision owns them and they escape quite frequently.

My wife put up bird feeders and the grackles really appreciate it. Talk about loud and noisy though.

Lizzy gave me a big yawn when I was trying to get a portrait.

Skinnery Oak Bobwhite Sculpture

Here is a sculpture at a nearby park of a dog flushing some bobwhite quail.

We visited Tulsa’s Botanic Gardens today and in addition to the beautiful flowers, shrubs, and other plantings they had an exhibit of animals made out of Legos by an artist. This is a spiny anteater.

That’s a wrap for this week. I am linking with Eileen’s Saturday’s Critters. Check it out.

Lizzie the Rattlesnake Cat

This is Lizzie our sweet little rescue kitten. I know that three year old cats are not kittens but that is what we call her. Somebody through her the window in a parking lot. She’s sweet but she doesn’t like to be held unless she is in the mood. And she is never in the mood.

During a yawn she goes into scary rattlesnake cat mode.

She’s not amused.
