8 January 2018 - I am feeling extravagant today.  With the uptick in temperatures, I haven't had to sit on my paws to keep them warm... yes, very cavalier of me.  As Mondays go, this one hasn't been half bad, probably because of my positive attitude in hoping that winter has had her little fling, at least here in Florida.  I realize that many of you are still facing months of banked fires and insulated long johns, but one does have to pay attention to the latitude of the place called home.  Although what is up with Alaska having a, relatively speaking, heat wave?  We are living under the Chinese curse of interesting times.

7 January 2018 - I can get by with a little help from my peep friends.  Were it not for my heated towel, I would be one miserable cat on a cold day.  Instead even purrs can be heard emanating from my toasty body.  I could probably help my case by agreeing to wear an ugly sweater, but my principles won't be compromised.  That could very well be where "stubborn to a fault" originated, but since my decision on this matter only impacts my skin and bones, I don't see the merit of your grousing.  Go ahead and shake your head... it will burn calories.

5 January 2018 - It is true:  hot air does rise.  In our many-leveled house, we are most comfortable in the office this time of year.  Unfortunately there is no access to what would be the attic space...  all that warmth up there wasted.  Without climbing the barn ladder, I am, in this picture, situated on the highest (and therefore toastiest) spot around.  It is especially desirable to sit here in the morning, when the sun adds its radiant heat to the mix.   Even with the confluence of sunshine and a handy heat vent, I would trade it all for an August day in Florida.  For now I am just surviving.

4 January 2018 - Well, the good news is that the sun is shining brightly... and I think that might exhaust the good news, so I'll change the subject.  These are the steps that lead to our office, and situated as I am, I control entry and exit.  Picture identification is not required, nor an agreed-upon password, rather you must pass my nose and gut instincts.  This sensory combination isn't something that can be packaged and mass-marketed, so my services are quite unique and quite desirable... priceless in other words.  Yet I offer it to my peeps gladly.  In fact, without these talents, they might be totally unaware of my speciality... which is why one should mention these things.

3 January 2018 - Have you stuck your head outside this morning?  My advice is to pull it back in, and draw the covers up around your neck.  All of you winter lovers need to keep a low profile, lest the rest of us fill your ears with invective-stuffed frustrations.  Has anyone done a calculation for when spring will arrive?  I really am rooting for summer, but I am afraid the number will be depressingly large.  Not all of life can be pleasant nor easy... I know that  The platitude-spouting platypuses would say that the bad stuff builds character.  It is such vacuity that would drive me to violence.  Wake me when it's over.

2 January 2017 - As you might guess, I am not a fan of our current weather.  Yes, I know that the season is winter, but we gratefully live in central Florida... where the winters are mild and sunny, and where zillions of frozen souls take a few days, or months, to thaw out.  This pall of gloomy gray is going to mar our welcoming reputation.  However, I have caught snatches of peep conversation that suggest that worse is on its way!  I refuse to believe such bad news, and desperately hope that they are being alarmist.  Peeps do seem to gravitate toward disasters.

1 January 2018 - Well, the shorter peep has put up a new calendar... harumph.  So far 2018 hasn't impressed:  it is chillier, wetter, grayer than yesterday... why is everyone excited?  As you might guess I didn't stray from home last night.  Even so my ears were assaulted by the loud reports of firecrackers in the neighborhood.  Peeps seem to be enthralled with symbol.  I would much rather they focus their energies on the numerous knotty, and tangible, issues that face them.  How much easier it is to show up to a party, primed to blunt senses, to cavort like dimwits.  Such behavior I find quite boring, and after minimal exposure not entertaining at all.  Perhaps I am just in a foul mood... close the door and leave me be.
