A new Top Ten list is posted every Monday.

  1. Easter Kitty would eat the Easter grass in the basket and puke all over the candy.

  3. The Easter chocolate would melt on top of the television set.
  4. Easter Kitty would never don festive Easter garments.
  5. Easter Kitty would feel compelled to play with colorful Easter basket goodies that would then end up under the refrigerator.
  6. Easter Kitty would make mincemeat out of cute little Easter chicks.
  7. Creepy staring Easter Kitty would creep out all the children.
  8. Easter Kitty might choose to stay under the bed all day.
  9. "Easter Kitty" would get confused with less popular "Easter Bitty."

Lessons From the Land of the Littles



I love watching the Littles when I walk them.  Kumquat's big head bobs up and down as he looks around.  Sneaky Squirrel's tiny face and big brown eyes, ears perked, share so much joy in a simple, everyday walk, and everyday things.  They love to lay in the sun.  They love a tasty biscuit.  A ride in the car.  Joy from the little everyday things. Joy for the Littles.  


Yes. the Littles give me so much joy.  They also teach me to take joy in the little things in life, like they do.  And they make me realize how much joy I take from the Littles.

Morning Biscuits


  

Most mornings, whether weekday or weekend, we have a routine.  And one of the first things I do in the morning is walk to the kitchen so I can feed my motley crew.  The cats, of course, are screaming for food from the moment I open my eyes.  Kumquat the squat doesn't usually wake until the food has been out for a while.  But the very second my foot enters the kitchen, so too does Sneaky Squirrel.  Silently, speedily, stealthily, he appears.  Staring at me with his big brown eyes.  Pleading not for his kibble and canned, but for his beloved morning biscuit.  Oftentimes, he stands on hind legs, as though the world will end unless he is given his treat post-haste.  (Indeed, he acts as though he lives post-apocalypse.)  And then, once his tiny teeth have gripped the biscuit, he runs off to to the cube where he can blissfully savor every crumb away from prying eyes (hello, Kumquat).  

Makes me wish there were a morning biscuit for me.
