forty-one weeks


So I've come to the conclusion...


SO I'VE COME TO THE CONCLUSION...


I've come to the conclusion, all this stayin' at home business for the past two hundred and twenty-three million, one hundred and seventy-one thousand, two hundred cat seconds, is not only gettin' on the nerves of cats and peeps alike, but...


BUT IT'S GETTIN' ON THE NERVES OF MOTHER NATURE, AS WELL.


MOUSES!


This here is Canada, Mama of the Earth and Weather, and it's winter, and Canadian winter weather is not meant to be like what it is right now, at all.


Why just the other day...


Just the other day, it was Christmas, and did we have nice fluffy snow and a chill in the air like we're SUPPOSED to have on Christmas Day?


NO.  No, instead we had drizzle and fourteen degrees.


That's in Celsius for my American friends, which is 'bout fifty-seven degrees for you.


MOUSES!


Then on Boxing Day - the glorious day when cats all over Canada spend an entire twenty-four hours indoors by a fire or some kinda central heatin', luxuriating in boxes, escaping the cold winter weather outdoors.  Well the Boxin' Day temperatures were high just like those on Christmas, and...  And the drizzle turned into rain!  HEAVY rain, I might add.


MOUSES!


Now here we are, two days later, and the sun is shinin' beautifully and there's a smatterin' of snow.


Well there WAS a smatterin' of snow when I first awoke this mornin', but that sun has gone and melted it makin' it disappear.


MOUSES!


Not that I mind a good sun puddle or two.  Mind?  I LOVE 'EM, to tell you the truth, but still...


But still, this is Canada and in Canada, winters are SUPPOSED to be cold.  And snowy.  And Christmases are supposed to be white.  Not this green cra...


Um...


Nah, I can say crap.  Got a whole year 'til next Christmas.  Plenty of time to get back on Santa's good list, for sure.


MOUSES!


So anyway...


So anyway, I've come to the conclusion that Mother Nature must be havin' a bad year just like the rest of us are, and her bad mood is wreckin' havoc with our Canadian weather.


So...


So I'm gonna say this once and I sure do hope I don't have to say it again:  Mama Nature?  GET WITH THE PROGRAM FOR PETE'S SAKE!  We need SNOW in winter, and keep the rain for other times of year.  'Cause if you're not careful ol' Mama of the Earth and Weather, YOU'LL end up on Santa's Naughty List next year, for sure.


And let me tell ya, if this freaky weather doesn't improve, pronto, I'LL put your name on that Naughty List, myself, I will.


I have connections, you know.


MOUSES!

  5. Well... here in Calgary, we must a' got all the snow meant for other parts 'cause it dumped here!

    Beaumont the Sheepadoodle is in Sheepadoodle glory! Prancin' and dancin' in the white fluffy stuff that seems to keep driftin' down as if there's no twomorra!

    Thanks for the smiles -- I hope you get some snow.

  6. Sorry, Seville...I'm against you on this one!
    Every Winter, I start fretting about the 'O' Cats, even though they have a wonderful Cat Hotel (with warming pad!), fresh water twice daily (in case it freezes), and food, food, food! I didn't expect to fall in love with the ferals, you see.
    Now, it's only PO'M outside, as Sweetie lives inside as the queen of her own apartment, so I am anxious that he is cold AND lonely!
    Oy!

  8. Sivvers, we hear you, dude. We had 14 inches of snow on December 17, and Christmas Eve Day, it was 54 degrees outside. This is definitely not a normal winter.
