Terrific Thursday Toil & Travails Tended To Turn Triumphant!
Hello everyone here in Wealthy Affiliate!
First of all, Kitty made a surprise appearance this morning while I was still sleeping, and when I lifted the covers, she crawled right under them and went to sleep with me! (She had been MIA since the arrival of the Blog Dogs late Tuesday night!)
I got up about an hour later and went and rousted the Blog Dogs and got them situated in their activities upstairs!
I then performed my routine run-through of the Wealthy Affiliate Community to see what had transpired overnight!
I also went ahead and knocked out some more Wealthy Affiliate research, as well!
Continuing education is always good and always needed too, since things change so much on a dime within the internet! Sadly Kitty is not yet brave enough to participate in these activities since she can sense that the Blog Dogs are upstairs.
She ran right under the bed again, even though there is no way they can get to her in the area of the eBay house that she is in! Hopefully, she will become more accustomed to this routine as time progresses!
I then played around with the Blog Dogs while waiting for Ron to arrive with the firewood. (He called me saying that he was on his way!)
Shadow the bigger male (above) and his little sister, Star, (below)!
Then I sat outside in 40 degree (Fahrenheit) temperatures waiting for Ron, which wasn't too long! We unloaded the truck rather quickly!
He and I talked for a bit and had a beer before he had to go meet one of his associates in town! He was multi-tasking like I do!
There is a possibility that Monica and I might go out to eat lunch or an early supper, but that is up to her! It would be nice, but I'd be surprised if it actually happens!
I will continue to improve accommodations here for the Blog Dogs, and also keep doing other tasks as usual until I land a job!
The weather today is phenomenal, as indicated by the top images! We might get up to 50 degrees Fahrenheit too, but we shall see! Maybe not, but with the sun out, anything is possible!
It has been a long, but productive day, indeed! I certainly cannot complain with how things have gone today! When Ron left he told me that there would be at least another truckload of firewood! I am truly blessed, indeed! Needless to say, I am overwhelmed with gratitude!
We apparently have reached our high of 40 degrees Fahrenheit--actually not too bad for late January!
I took a break and let the Blog Dogs outside again! As you can see, the Sun has hidden itself for the rest of the day and temperatures are going down again!
They seemed to enjoy themselves, so that is what is important!
The rest of the evening, of course, will be spent on the computer, performing additional tasks at the eBay house, and I might even light another fire in the fireplace since I have a new supply of firewood!
I HOPE THAT EVERYONE'S THURSDAY (ANOTHER FRISATSU'S EVE) WAS TERRIFICALLY TRIUMPHANT TOO!

A good idea would be to rub a cloth over the blog dogs and let Kitty sniff it. do the same with Kitty. Scent is hugely important with animals and gradually getting them used to each others scent may help. I'm no expert though! Good to see Ron called by to see you, and are those logs for your fireplace? I hope Monica meets you for lunch later. Great photos as usual, and nice to see Star and Shadow enjoying themselves outside. I'm sure they'll settle in eventually and may even feel happier! I know you want to move back home with Monica and I truly hope it happens in the future. Best wishes, Kathy
That's a GREAT idea, Kathy! I might have to try that, but even at three years old, the Blog Dogs can still be a little rambunctious, and that might be more than a 13-year-old cat might want to tolerate!
Yes that is firewood for the fireplace, and when he gets back into town next week, he said he would bring some more too!
I ended up going to dinner and the store later in the evening, but I neglected to take any pictures of that outing for some strange reason! I must have been overly excited just to get so spend some time with her!
The BDs will likely settle in even better when warm weather returns, but they seem to be adjusting fine in such a short time!
I hope that it even happens at all, Kathy--she seems distant at times when we are together! We shall see one way or another!
I hope you are enjoying your Frisatsu, my friend!
Jeff
She is getting out more and more, but I doubt I'll let her get near the dogs thought because she is 13 years old and has no claws, and cannot climb! It would not too for them to inadvertantly terrorize her in their excitement! I'll see how everything plays out!
Jeff
Happy FriSatSu Jeff! I think the Blog Dogs are in for a rude awakening soon. Kitty is just taking its time to assess the situation and will clearly let the Blog Dogs know who's nest they are in. Then its the Blog Dogs that will be laying low. :-)
Mel
Happy Frisatsu, Mel! I hope you are right, but Kitty was declawed when she came to me, so she doesn't have many defenses except her evil hiss!🙀😹
Jeff
Oh no! Time to re-arm her, Jeff! You know when they have cock fighting here, they put all kinds of lethal accesseries on the cocks to rip and tear their opponents. Time to more than level the playing field again. :-)
Mel
FriSatSu has started out well. Continuing to prep for Sunday's Double Birthday and Welcoming party. Bionic Claws might work, but I am suspecting you don't want the Blog Dogs hurt either. hmmm. How about a really loud speakers set up with a wireless mic around Kitty's neck? It would sound like a Lion has been awaken. ;-)
Mel
That's excellent to hear, Mel! Sounds like Sunday will be a very exciting day for you, indeed, my friend! As for the Bionic claws, there is still some "research" to perform on that, my friend!
I like the Lion's roar Speaker idea though!
Jeff
Happy Kitty made an appearance, Jeff. She will just need to learn to stay out of their way.
That's great of Ron to get you the firewood. True friends are sometimes better than family when it comes to things like that.
Well, its Frisatsu again already. Last one for the month and then the year is 8.33% gone already. Hope it continues to pass this quickly until November. 🌞
Archie
She has now made several appearnaces, Archie! Also she has slept with me twice, has eaten her food, and is more active--all, of course in the three room "Catpartment" that separates her from dealing with the Blog Dogs! She is a much older cat, and they are still quite Active and jumpy!
It was extremely kind of Ron to do that, and he said he plans to bring even more next week! Great friends are the best!
Even though I am expectant and excited aobut the possibilities for November, there are a lot of tasks that I need to take care of in the Spring and Summer, so I hope they go slowly! I DO know what you mean though!
Have an excellent Frisatsu, my friend!
Jeff
I am sure that the Blog Dogs would just want to play, not understanding that Kitty is just "re...tired".
Oh, I'm sure of that,they just don't relaize that they have to be gentle about it, Archie!
jeff
Great to know that the group is all together, even if cautiously.
Some good photos here Jeff, love the sun in the blue sky.
Well, I’m at the top of the FriSatSu slope right now. Top of today’s to do list is KFC. I wonder how that got there.
Take care Jeff.
Bux
I feel the same way, Bux! I captured some nice images of the day! Today, of course has started out overcast and quite chilly though!
It sounds like you have had an enjoyable start to your Frisatsu already, my friend! You simply can't beat dining with the Colonel!
Have a great rest of today too, my friend!
Jeff
Oh no. I didn't go. Too much to do back at home. I'll catch up on Tuesday, that's market day in Glastonbury and I always try and make that.

That's awesome that Kitty made an appearance.
That means she will probably repeat that again.
Kitty knows who loves her and gives her food.
The Blog Dogs probably know Kitty is there 24/7.
They no doubt smelled Kitty upon their arrival.
I bet they all adjust quite well after a bit of time.
Another great post to sip my coffee as I read Jeff.
Hope you get to enjoy that lunch or dinner with Monica.
Bet The Blog Dogs treat Kitty no different than Tig-Tig...lol
Happy FriSatSu
John
Yes, John! I was quite pleased and she is making mre regular appearances and eating again too! Of course, I have her cordoned off to three rooms, so that neither she or the BDs will encounter each other! They are still too active for a 13-year-old cat!😹
I did enjoy dinner and running some errands with Monica! I thought overall it was productive, though I neglected to get any pictures of the evening excursion!
I know the BDs won't treat her any different than Tig-Tig--they messed with her all the time, but she had claws and could climb--Kitty does not and can't--that's the primary difference!
Have an excellent start to your Frisatsu, my friend!
Jeff
Ahhh I didn't know Kitty was declawed, I agree that's a huge difference. And that kitty is 13 as opposed to The Blog Dogs youthful spirit wanting to endlessly torment the cat...lol
John
I'm hoping to eventually have a face to face encounter with them through a gate that separate the downstairs form the upstairs! At night, the BDs sleep in an open kennel with all their dog blankets and food and water there too! It is warmer down there because most of the space is below the frost line.
I would see how they react to each other that way first before I even considered allowing them regular contact, John!
Jeff
That sounds like a great idea if Kitty is willing to participate.
Sounds like Kitty has adjusted pretty well so far and the BD's too.
I once had a crazy cat (shittykitty) that chased my dogs down.
My dogs were big so it was hilarious to see them run from a cat.
The cat was named based on attitude issues, it just stuck.
John
It will be if Kitty decides to particiapte, John! That is definitely the question, my friend!
I wish I had a cat like Shittykitty, my friend! That sounds awesome!
