SONNY!

I had this stuff all stacked up and ready to take to the curb for recycling and next thing I know Mr. Sonny is curled up inside of this box which was totally unstable! Silly kitty!

Jeffrey Brown Postcards

Once again I have found an adorable kitty lover item at Helix (in Athens, GA). Appropriatly titled "The Cutest Sneeze in the World", this set of 30 different postcards by Jeffrey Brown will get you giggling til your sides ache! This guy REALLY knows cats! A bargain at only $9.95, the set comes boxed in an artistically designed package with a window cut out. Most of the cards are black & white, but there are a select few that are done in color. The only thing wrong with this set is that you won't want to part with any of them! I recommend buying two boxes!

Sharp End Kitty Pencil Sharpener

Now I've seen everything! I found this adorable little pencil sharpener at Helix in Athens, GA and just had to have it!

Not only does it sharpen your pencil to a nice clean point, and the "droppings" fall neatly into the "litter box" below, but in addition to that the kitty "meows" when you insert the pencil! Sick and twisted? Yes, but it's also functional and hilarious! It's available in white or black, stands about 7" tall, and sells for under $18.95. Makes a great gift for the kitty lover/artist/writer/anyone who uses a pencil and has a good sense of humor!

Sonny's Recovering Well

Sonny is doing remarkably well after a big day at the vet yesterday. One of his back upper teeth was badly decayed and had a hole in it, so unfortunately, extraction was necessary, which was done during his teeth cleaning. When we brought him home yesterday he was still totally disoriented from the anesthesia, and looked pitiful with his little shaved arm! Zuki didn't recognize him at all, and we had to keep them separated last night because she kept hissing at the poor little guy! She's still not sure it's Sonny even today, but I think once he starts to smell more like himself she'll accept him again.

Here's a pic of how the tooth was packaged up! I thought it was pretty funny!

Sonny Goes To The Vet

Our cute lion kitty, Sonny, is at the vet right now having his teeth cleaned. The vet's office just called to let me know that they have to extract one of his teeth because there's a hole in it! Poor Sonny!

I can't imagine having children, as worried as we get about our kitties. I know he'll be ready to get back home to get some TLC from Mrs. Baby.

Temple Grandin

If you have any interest in animals, how they think and see the world, you might love reading Temple Grandin's books as much as I have. Tonight HBO is premiering a documentary on her life. Click here to watch the trailer.

Art from 2009

It's been about a year since my last post, so to get back in the swing of things, I thought I'd post a few of my favorite images I did in 2009. These were all done using colored pencils on recycled wood.
