Seems Margeaux has this strong desire to become an house cat!  Sometimes she sneaks in so fast when Mom lets the dogs in/out that she doesn't even know Margeaux is in the house.  When this happens, she's usually found on Dads side of the bed!

     When Margeaux hears Mom getting ready to head down to the barn, she normally wakes up and volunteers to go out too!  The dogs don't mind a bit, which is how she's able to sneak in and stay in.  If you biggify the second picture you can see Promise watching from between Margeaux ears.

     We heard from one of the neighbors that Margeaux likes to sunbath on their deck.  She lays just outside the sliding glass doors tormenting their wee little dog.  As the dog barks, Margeaux simply rolls over on her back stretching out to torment him even more.  Luckily they think Margeaux is the sweetest cat they've ever met and think it's quite funny!

Yup, still winter...

Camryn here:
Some talk about how snow blankets the ground, round here we talk about how snow blankets me!

 This was after I shook off all the loose powdered stuff.  I had quite a lot more of a snow blanket before Mom got close enough with the camera!  What's left is kinda icy crystalized stuff.
  

Yup, I think it's still winter round here!

 

Mmmmm, think maybe I need a shave?

Ok Mom, put the camera away now so I can eat in peace!

Mom brushes the snow off while providing mid-day room service.  By the time I'm finished with lunch, I'm dry and ready for a new blanket of snow.

Oh, I am beginning my shedding, just a little bit.  So, I know spring is indeed on the way.

Onyx tribute...

Camryn here:
While I'm content with the cats for company, I must say we're still missing Onyx.  Course we have plenty of trophies, ribbons, pictures and a few pieces Mom did of Onyx over the years.  And of course his childrens will continue him in one of the best ways ever. 
Yet Mom still felt that wasn't enough.  Nothing ever truly will be but, she decided a good way to remember our dear friend was in a painting.  One that showed him doing something he truly loved & that was playing with Mom:

R.I.P. our dear Onyx you will always be loved by all who knew you.  Specially Mom n Me.

Only the shadow knows...

Camryn here:
So today being Feb 2nd and all with no groundhog in sight I decided to do my own shadow check.  Promise & Ivy were the judges:

Ivy: "Hold still Camryn while I get a better look"

Camryn: "Well?  Do I have a shadow or not?  Hurry up, my neck is getting stiff girls"

Promise:  "Mmmmm, I'm not sure.  Ivy what do you think?"

Ivy: "NO SHADOW, Camryn has NO SHADOW!"

 

Promise & Ivy: "WHOOT, WHOOT, no shadow Mom, that means spring is just around the corner!"

 

Margeaux: "Bout friggin time I say.  Snow is highly over rated!"

If you can't beat it...

Camryn here:
About the weather!!!  Yup it's been 5 minutes which means it's changed yet again.  So, I've rewritten and old saying to be my new motto:

"If you can't beat it, NAP IN IT"

Mom, being human isn't to thrilled to look out the kitchen window to see me covered in a layer of snow.  She's figured out that if I were cold, I certainly wouldn't be comfy enough to snooze!  Not to worry peoples, I can go in the barn outa the weather any time I choose.  It's just that 9 out of 10 times I choose not to do so.

Other news, a little black cat has shown up at Chris house.  Being he sometimes travels two weeks at a time, & Sam being preggers can't mess with a litter box it can't stay.  They have of course been feeding it and set up a warm area while trying to find it a home.  Mom's been checking in with the Vet clinic she used to work at.  They sometimes take in "friendly" strays, spay/nueter and all that stuff.  Then they rehome them.  Finally they have room for the black kitty so she's taking it in today.  Margeaux n Maizee argue enough amongst themselves, so Mom felt the addition of another in my house wouldn't be the best idea.
