Ho Ho Home for the Holidays

The vet recently described Simon as being “fractious”, something about still trying to bite them while under heavy sedation. Well after spending a joyous Christmas with the critter, I am not so sure I agree with their assessment.  I would like to suggest that perhaps “princess” might be a more fitting description for our kitty.  See definitions below (mostly taken from the net) and you decide.

 

frac·tious
Pronunciation [frak-shuhs]
–adjective

1.       refractory or unruly: a fractious animal that would not
submit to the harness.

 

2.       readily angered; peevish; irritable; quarrelsome: an incorrigibly
fractious young man.

 

prin·cess

Pronounciation [prĭn'sĭs]
-noun

     1.  a regal cat regarded as having the status or qualities of a princess.

 

     2.  yet another take on the rising popularity of being a “princess” is  the gentleness and refined composure associated with the title. It often conjures images of elegance and self control, and among the younger generations, is a depiction of all things feminine and lovely.

Pink Ideas

I like to think of myself as the “ideas person” and surround myself with the experienced craftsmen who can help bring my ideas to life, or in this case, LARGER and pinker than life.

Homecoming Princess

Our first trip by air with the baby was smashing success.  We recently celebrated American Thanksgiving in Canada with our friends and family in Ontario.  Thanks to everyone who came out to meet the babe – we miss you all! 

 

 Greetings Roxanna politey shakes hands upon being introduced to Auntie Mary.

The Big Guy gets a new nickname, Uncle Larry Softie.  Larry

 

P.S. Did you know they just call it “Thanksgiving” not “American Thanksgiving” here in the states? We are still getting acclimatized to these new traditions and their ways of speaking.
