Happy Times With Muffin.
Hi everybody! My human finally letting me do my post, he so nice. He also have sore feet. Too bad for my human, but he did say Monday and it Wednesday. Oh well, his feet not stay sore for long. I not sure why humans have such tough time in this thing called “lockdown”. I inside all the time, doesn’t bother me. Just need to find things to do. So simple. I make my human happy all the time with things I do. It easy really. For example, my human look bored, all he do is reading, must be bored. So I start to push on plant by window. Wow, you should see him jump and run. Arms waving all over the place. Plus he get this really funny look on his face! Priceless! Makes me roll over laughing.
Next day he reading again, proof he bored. So I start running and playing with toys. I hit orange plastic ball real hard, it bounces off desk, flies through air and hits the glass top of kerosene lamp. My human get that look on his face again, he jump up real fast and manage to catch lamp top. But he kick table leg, don’t know why he always does that, must hurt. Then he jump around on one foot, which not good for him to do and…yep, he sit down on floor again. Then he start human purring, which he calls groaning. It sound so nice. But he has strange look on his face, eyes kind of moving back and forth, it look so funny, I roll over laughing again! He manage to hold onto lamp top though. But when he get up then he bang lamp top on table, very strange thing to do, so it break. Poor human, he just stand there looking and shaking his head.
I go over to check and human start jumping around and waving arms and legs, telling me not to come close. Very strange behavior sometimes. Then he gets down on floor again, after he just get up! Now he pick up pieces of glass. Suddenly he jump up and down again and run into bathroom, blood dripping from hand. He should never play with broken glass, not safe. I just sit shaking my head.
We sometimes like to race into the bedroom, I always win. But one time I race past him and he makes funny noise, like “AAAAAAAAAAAA” then he start doing happy dance on one foot and waving arms, eyes going in circles. That so funny! Then he kick bedside table with other foot. Actually it bookcase with lamp on top, but my human call it bedside table. Bookcase not move. My human’s eyes bulge way out! Then do a lot of human purring and sit on floor again. I tell him he should sit on chair, more comfy, but he like to sit on floor. So much fun to watch him having fun!
Really, I don’t think we ever get bored around here. I always help to keep my human “hopping” with fun and happiness! Thanks everyone for reading my little post today. Maybe I do another one. There’s a couple other fun things we like to do here! But that all for today. Hope you all have a purrfect day!
Muffin and Steve.

Daily Pics #141.
Good morning to all of you! Wow, what a beautiful morning it is too. I went out at 5:15 to feed Sir George, though as it turned out it was Sir Henry. But Sir George did arrive within less than a minute and Henry disappeared rather fast. I decided to stay out there for a while, just sit and enjoy the morning, with coffee in hand waiting for the sun to rise. That happens officially at 5:25, though it is daylight at 4:30. However, due to this hill that sits beside my apartment, I don’t really see the sun rise until about 30 minutes later. So I sat and talked with Sir George for a while and he kept up with his “yep, yep, yep”, even after he had finished eating he stayed around to talk. Or perhaps he was looking for more food.
The beauty of early morning. Everything is so still and quiet, except for the sounds of nature. Loons in the distance calling to one another. Gulls flying around, their pure white with black wing tips against the cloudless sky. So many little birds singing their joyous songs. The white throated sparrow, chipping sparrow, song sparrow, phoebe, tree swallows, warblers of different species, blackburnian, black and white, mourning, yellow rumped, yellow and others. And one of my favorite early morning singers, robins.
The beauty of early morning…
The tiny chipping sparrow, above, looking for his breakfast. This is one of our smallest sparrows and probably the friendliest as well.
And once again here is the white throated sparrow saying to himself “there’s that guy with his camera again, what does he want anyway”?
I hope you all have a wonderful morning, and day, stay safe and God bless!
Steve and Muffin.
