They're Just Big-Boned....Really!

A few weeks ago Steve & I took our big babies to the vet for their annual check up. Getting them into their kennel is event enough...they cry & scratch at the walls like it's prison!

We arrive at the vet and I go to take the kennel out and make Steve carry it because it weighs a ton! I didn't think the cats weighed that much...until they get on the scale. Minou gets on the scale first and the doctor informs us that she weighs 10.5lbs. No big deal (so we think) until she tells us that last year Minou weighed 9lbs, and she has gained the equivalent of 60 human pounds in one year! Needless to say, she is on diet. So is Finn, because the little pork chop gets on the scale & weighs in at 12.4lbs. EEK! No more grazing for them...they are now on a new diet to get slim and trim! They aren't very happy with us right now, but we are determined to get them down a pound or two for next year's trip to the vet. Maybe the next visit won't be so embarassing!

Love Child!

Ok, so some of you might know that today is Steven's birthday! A little known fact about Mr. Senft is that when he was born, the nurses brought him to his parents with little hearts attached to him! There isn't a picture of that, but this picture is from Steven's first birthday, and he still loves his cake that much! Send some warm birthday vibes his way...he's at work right now and it's freakin' cold where he is!

Steven sent me some flowers today, so I thought that I'd share them with you! Have a great Valentine's Day everyone...love ya!

Let Her Eat Cake!

It's my mom's birthday today so I just thought I'd do a quick shout out to her (Holla!) If you frequent her blog at all, stop in and wish her a happy b-day. Or eat some cake on her behalf...whatever suits you!
