Coffee and a great young photographer

The Lady Of The House is a bit 'full of herself' today because she got to have her say on "Coffee With A Canine"

I don't know why they wanted to talk to her and not me!

But it's been a very useful experience - because I think we have found someone in this house who takes far better photos than the LOTH.

Hers are often all blurry and wuzzy fuzzy and she blames her phone camera that she uses. But look what happened when she handed it over to the Boy Of The House to take a picture of me and her?

I think that's very nice. Much better than most of hers.

Anyhow, unfortunately the oxygen of publicity has well and truly gone to the LOTH's head and now she wants to take over MY blog for tomorrow to tell you about the Canine Freestyle event she went to this weekend. Dogs who weren't dancing....competing, whatever... weren't allowed. I stayed home the with MOTH - which was nicer I think.

I SUPPOSE I'll let her - that's if she has time. She's rushing around like a mad thing at the moment. More of that another time too I guess.

Working that room, baby

Well, the pots have all been washed, the biscuits and cake that wasn't eaten, or taken home by guests, has been put away (shame I liked the smell of the ginger and lemon one) and the Lady Of The House's first-ever coffee morning for Macmillan Cancer Support is over.

She raised £106 which she's very pleased about - and I had a lovely time.

I do love people and having lots of friends and neighbours in the house was my idea of heaven. I walked from one to the other to give them all lots of chance to stroke and fuss me - and they didn't disappoint. Then I went back to the first person and started working the room again.

I had to wait until the guests went home before I got one of my bone biscuits for being good.

The Girl Of The House also got a request to puppy-sit this afternoon for one of the neighbours - so she's gone off quite happily to do that while I recover from all the fuss and attention.

Roll on next year's coffee morning.

Coffee for cats?

The Lady Of The House keeps muttering about 'tidying up', and she's making sure I get brushed with my grooming mitt in the garden every day this week - all because she's got some friends and neighbours round on Friday for a coffee morning.

It's not just any coffee morning, it's part of the World's Biggest Coffee Morning fundraiser by Macmillan Cancer Support.

I think cakes may be on the menu, from what I hear, but personally give me a pig's ear or a cow's ear any day of the week.

I can't imagine why anyone would want to drink coffee. It smells very suspect to me. But apparently coffee, along with bacon and eggs and broccoli, contributed to the longevity of a couple of the oldest cats who ever lived.  Sounds like another EXCELLENT reason not to like coffee if you ask me.
