12.07.2008 :: 25. dreaming
I had the pleasure of going to the Twist Collaborative Trunk Show today at my wonderful LYS, Yarns in the Farms! Spending time with Carol, Kris, Julia, Thea, Jill and Carolyn among a room full of knitters. (what day could be better?) I got a bit teary eyed when Kris and Carol immediately about Fig. That little cat has his own following, I tell ya!
The afternoon was just what the doctor ordered for what is ailing me (exhaustion, worry, blah)
It was also the perfect snow day! It snowed from beginning to end but was the kind of snow that only stuck to the trees and cars and grass but not the roads. The perfect Christmas snow! (keep all of these points in mind when you see the pictures up next!) (This would be foreshadowing!!)
~~~
Visuals:

Snow on the trees! So pretty!

Wreath on the door!

Sleepyhead Fig. How does he breathe like that? (I have to admit that every time I see him like that I check for breathing...)
Get your Christmas Cheer HERE:
I am dreaming of a White Christmas. And NObody does it like Bing!

Once again we pass like two ships in the night! Tell Fig we're working on the chicken.

I got so dizzy watching the record go round that I decided to take a nap in solidarity with Fig.
Despite being generally grumpy these days, I look forward to seeing what Christmas song you've selected for the ditty du jour. However, if you link to Calvin and the chipmunks, I'm drawing the line. Or "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth." Talk about ear worms.

Hugs for Fig. Our dog sleeps like that sometimes and I always check that he is breathing too ( he's only 3 so I don't ever expect him not to be, just can't figure out how he does when his nose is buried like that)

Awwww, Fig... I just want to cuddle him ever so gently.
Re the trunk show, I can only say: so. jealous.

Snorgles for Fig.
And holy smokes - I have that exact album in my house. I can't remember if the record is in it, but I have the cover. I put it out as a decoration every Christmas.

It was so great to see you! (And be enabled by you, of course. :) ) Hugs to you and Fig.

And on vinyl too... perfect.
Give little fig a hug for me.

I'd be the first to join the Fig Fan Club! I like to think that a friend cares about what their friend cares about - plus he's such a cute little cat. I'm glad you had a good time yesterday!

I'd be happier with snow holding off till Christmas Eve, then vanishing the day after Christmas. Not an option up here, though... We'll be up to our keesters in it by Christmas.
Hugs to you and Fig.

Oh Sandy! I'm so torn up about Fig. My own cat, Destiny died from kidney failure over a year ago. I heard that they are not in pain when they are in kidney failure, just without energy and have a hard time walking.
I ended up letting her die naturally though I did have an appointment the morning she died. In the end, she had a good life and so has Fig.
I hope he's able to really enjoy that scratching post in his last days and maybe some tuna?
Much love!

Bing OWNS that song. Nobody sings it like he does.

Had I known that there was a Twist Collective trunk show almost in my back yard, I would have made a road trip (really not that far).
More hugs for Fig.

My old kitty Boofus used to sleep like that. I used to check her breathing too.
Fig looks like a contented kitten there. Sweet.

Your wreathe is beautiful! We might have snow tomorrow! YAY!

Isn't it crazy how cats sleep sleep like this or with their paws over their nose? I read somewhere that they do that on purpose to decrease the oxygen that they breathe and put themselves in a deeper sleep.
