Cat Naps, Hairballs, and Working Hard for the Money

Sorry it's been more than week since my last post. We were in Chicago last week for the AEJMC conference, and I'm busy getting ready for the fall semester. I'll post about Chicago soon and add some photos, but here are a few of Dolly, our "first born."

Also, a special thanks to Lisa, Holly and Paul for coming over and taking care of the girls on our many trips to Florida and other places this past year. They are great, and we all appreciate them. Dolly loves the attention when they come over, but Sammie hides. In fact, when David and I return home, it usually takes Sammie about an hour to come out of hiding and realize who we are.



David and Dolly love taking naps together on weekend afternoons. Strangely enough, Dolly snores quite loudly at times.



Both of the girls have a lot of extra fur, especially Sammie, so we try and comb it out, which results in these wonderful hair balls. The smaller one on the left is from Dolly, and Sammie's is on the right. Wow, it's amazing what people without children will blog about in regards to their cats.



As I was getting ready for our trip last week, I put some money on the bed, and of course Dolly came right over and decided it was hers. I wouldn't mind giving the girls an allowance each week, but they never seem interested in doing any chores, only napping for hours on end. Ah, the life of a cat!
