our family cat ( sigh what can i tell you)

Fuzzy has been with us since our daughter brought her home years back and then moved out again with out the cat. by that time it was to late. Fuzzy had a new owner . i remember my daughter asking for her cat. and me saying not happening. she said did dad claim her i said no she asked did my brother claim her i said no. with frustration she asked did you mom? i said no. she said then how come i cant have my cat back? i said you have to ask dusty for her. she is his cat now . Dusty is our family dog. and Fuzzy was way to young by a few weeks when our daughter brought her home. so Fuzzy lived under our bed wouldn't come out. and our dog took care of her. as a result of that bond our dog ended up later on helping her raise all her kittens they came in batches of course and in the end she had 18 kittens . he was fond of them all and it wasn't unusual to see him lovingly walking around with a kitten hanging out of his mouth on his way to tuck them back into their bed. or grabbing one and keeping it out of harms way. it was a hoot to watch him as he gathered them all up at night and took them away to snuggle with them while there mom was out and about doing cat things.
anyway when we had her fixed she missed her kittens. and i would catch her once in awhile stealing someones moccasins and crying as she took it away. like a kitten. and i would have to retrieve it and make sure it got back to its owner.
well hellooooooo mommy fuzzy. i was on my way to get am coffee hubby had put his clogs on the kitchen table to dry he put some sort of tool dip on the bottoms for traction. seems to be working. BUT ONE WAS MISSING!!!!!!!! ugh fuzzy hasn't been a mom now in years. but these clogs are good and soft. i had to look all over in the dark before i found it laying at the foot of the recliner she uses to sleep in LOL
she is a hoot don't like humans loves dogs and my hubby. and is a demanding little thing. if i don't get her a treat every other day she just stands there and tells me off in cat language until i do. if i don't let her baby out of the room she gets mad. her baby by the way is a 3 year old cocker spaniel go figure. LOL who she bats around like a kitten when she gets out of hand. oh yea and she potty trained the dog too after the kids house broke her i know that for a fact cause my dog not only goes out side she gets done and had to do the cat thing dig backwards at it like her mom and bury it all LOL
i am just glad i found the other clog i could see it being dragged off to the basement and then if that happened it would have been all over for that clog i would be knitting a new one fast to save fuzzy's hind end LOL
other wise i got the socks done done done i was working on and am one inch away now from finishing Mandy pies sweater sleeves. should be done with that today and then i can embellish and wait for her to show up so i can take pictures. :) and hand it over.
cant wait to do the socks out of my expensive sock yarn. and i went on line and shopped like a crazy fool for a few days. got more sock yarn coming more needles and a book . and i think i should go back and order more sock yarn . yep i think i should.
other wise i am just knitting like mad her and enjoying every min of it . oh yea i found this rope bag at the thrift store. Tuesday. we were driving around and i saw this lady with this rope bag the kind that had pinks and yellow bands on them with leather handles. i used to have one and fondly thought i wish i had one again it would make such a wonderful sock knitting bag. and so we went to the thrift store and i dug through the bin with all the old purses in it and walla i found one just what i was looking for too a rope bag no color other then natural. with leather handles and a zipper closer. it had been stored in someones closet forever because it had serious fold lines. so i took out the old iron and steam ironed it and stuffed it right away with all my stuff that put the shape right back into it. hubby likes it too said it don't take up all the floor room in the truck LOL
i put everything in zippies before i head out anyway no matter what bag i use so hey works for me.
also found drinking glasses to cool was about out of them forgot to buy them at the store. but this worked for me a whole set for $2.00 yep works nicely for me.
when the boys were in high school the spoons would disappear. i finally broke down and bought thrift store silver ware instead of buying whole sets and being upset all the time because the sets were disappearing one spoon at a time. no one noticed or cared that nothing matched had i not found the set of drinking glasses i was ready to grab what was on the Mason jar shelf. yep had been eyeing those before i spied the glasses. i don't think the grands would have noticed LOL
ok coffee is on time to go get me a cup of.
ps the stuff hubby bought to dab on the bottom of his slippers is some sort of dip for replacing the grip on tools . seems to work smells bad when its first put on but seems to work.
i cant see the cat stealing a pair of what then were stinky clogs LOL must work for her though. funny cat :)

Great idea for a sock bag. Would love to see a picture. My DD had disappearing spoons also. But she was also always missing dishes, measuring spoons & cups, glasses etc. Until she found out the girls would throw them in the trash so they wouldn't have to WASH them. My DD said "My life would have been DIRT if I had been caught doing something like that!" and I say, "That's why I never had missing dishes." Hehe, really I was pretty easy going ... it was her Dad that would have flipped out.

BTW, loved the story about your Dog adopting the cat & her babies.
