Happy Birthday Braveheart 2008!

Pictured to the left is our cat Braveheart, hard at work! This month she turns 8 years old. We don't know the exact day of her birth. But when we first took Braveheart to the vet, he estimated that she was born sometime in August 2000. So every August we celebrate as Braveheart's birthday month. According to our IAMS Complete Cat Owner's Manual, an eight year old cat is equivalent to a 48 year old human. That makes Braveheart older than either one of her human parents! ;-) Braveheart now has a spot on Catbook, an application linked with Facebook. So those who are on Facebook can post a message on her wall and "virtually" pet her. If you are not on Facebook and would like wish her a happy birthday, send your messages to us and then we'll forward them on to Braveheart.

It's the Cat's Fault!

Thousands of people have been asking why things have been a bit slow here at The Dunger Peak. I now have photographic evidence to prove that it's our cat Braveheart's fault! Those who do not have cats may find this hard to believe. But it's the honest to Pete (Seeger) truth! Our cat Braveheart actaully gets jealous of the time we spend on the computer! If Braveheart feels that we are spending too much time with the computer, and not enough time with her, she actually does her best to prevent us from using the computer. A couple of her "favorite" techniques are blocking the screen with her body, and standing over the keyboard. And you don't have to be a rocket surgeon to know that if you can't see the screen or type on the keys, it's quite difficult--if not impossible--to type a blog entry.

Still have your doubts? Check out the evidence below.

In this picture, Braveheart is blocking the screen with her body. The scowl on her face says, "go ahead--I dare you to type a blog entry!"




And now in this picture Braveheart is standing over the keybaord, preventing anyone from attempting to type.




So now you know the truth. Now you know why we haven't been able to post lately. But don't worry too much. Next time Braveheart is taking a nap, we'll see if we can type another one of the high quality blog entries that all of you have come to depend upon here at The Dunger Peak! Until then--Meow!!

The (Mis)adventures of Kohlby Cat

Here's some pictures from a typical day in the life of Kohlby, our six month old kitten.


What's for supper?


There's no need to run the dishwasher. I've licked all the dishes clean.


Is it bath time yet?


I'm worn out. It's nap time!
