Little Cat Feet

Shaggy and his littermate brother Scooby came to live with us in October 2005, when they were 5 years old. Scout arrived in 2006 at the age of 6 weeks. Scooby passed over very suddenly to the Rainbow Bridge on April 1, 2012 and is remembered fondly and missed deeply.

Snoopervising Mom


Mom's been busy today cleaning out kitchen cupboards and straightening out the fridge which gets to be a jumbled mess after awhile and she can't find anything in it.
Then she took to defrosting the deep freeze we keep in the garage. It's an old upright one from the 60's she & dad got from her grandparents house after they passed away. Old ones need defrosting. Modern ones are frost free.
One of the shelves in there had ice & frost buildup 3" thick! She couldn't shove anything past it anymore, so...time to roll up the sleeves and get to it.
All the foods went into coolers for the duration and I'm happy to say, between hacking at it with a hammer and putting a fan in front to speed up melting, the job is done and it's ice free again. After about 4 hours that is.
Anyhoo, this picture is a couple weeks old but this shows how I snoopervised from the comfort of a cushy chair.
In between naps, that is.

A comfy chair is best for snoopervising. You don't want to get too close and get frost bite in your toesies.

HI Scooby! Our mom needs to check our freezer - she hasn't used it in a while and your mom having to defrost yours reminded her that she had better do ours! And we will be doing just what you did - sitting and snoopervising!

Snoopervising is a very important job -- and especially to keep the Mom on track during a four hour job!
