Molly, this morning around ten: Let me out! Let me ooooouuuut!
Me, making a late cup of coffee: No. It’s below freezing. It will be warmer later. We can go then.
Molly, chewing the scenery: Why are you so mean to meeeee???
Me, knowing how this will end: Below freezing. Very cold. You will not like it.
Molly, now literally chewing on a pencil she knocked off the table: You’re a liar who doesn’t want me to have nice things. Outside! I know my rights!
Me, abandoning my coffee: You know what? Fine. Let’s do this.
* Several minutes and one “walk” later *
Molly: Why would you do this? I was so cold out there! Make the hot air thing go. I demand warms. Fix what you did.

Forget to upload? Me? I would never.
I don’t know what set the blue jays off today, but it wasn’t us. Mostly. We upset maybe three jays. And possibly a squirrel.

Happy New Year everyone!
You might have noticed we didn’t get a walk yesterday. That’s because I decided to wait until late afternoon which the local weather promised would have sun. There was no sun.
Today’s walk was fairly sedate and uneventful, but that’s fine because the sun came back! It was an absolutely lovely way to start our new year.

The sun finally came out today for about thirty minutes. I was starting to think we’d never see it again.

It’s still raining. Still. Poor Molly.
She’s perked back up from her post-vaccine sleepies (the calm and quiet was nice while it lasted), but alas the weather isn’t cooperating. It is warm out today (relatively speaking) in a way that I would consider pleasant if it wasn’t, you know, the very end of December and things hadn’t been unseasonably warm for days. As it is, I’m having a lot harder of a time appreciating the rain as ‘at least it’s not snowing’ when I’m starting to feel like we aren’t going to get *any* snow this year.

We didn’t get a real walk today (it continues to be cold and damp and Molly does not approve), but when I heard Lulu barking next door I knew Molly would want to go say hi. I don’t understand it, but Molly’s happy I guess?

By Molly’s official decree, today is foggy and gross and instead of walks there shall be naps.

Merry Christmas all! Whether you celebrate or not, we hope you had/have a lovely day.
Molly doesn’t really understand silly human things like holidays but she was very curious about her humans bothering to do all sorts of cooking for once.

The birds were out and about today, much to Molly’s delight. I had fun watching her watch them, though I could have done without the way she was eyeing the roof at one point.

We finally got a Christmas tree up today and Molly doesn’t seem to know what to do with herself about it. I consider it a win that she hasn’t tried combing it (yet), but the whole “indoor tree” seems to have thrown her for a loop and the result is a zoomy little nut. There has been a lot of spontaneous sprinting down the hall. I’m a little afraid of what will happen if we try to decorate the tree.
(Honestly, our poor tree is rather sad and wonky and doesn’t want to stay upright. I dragged Molly in early because I had gotten it up about ten minutes before we went out and I was genuinely concerned that we would come back in to find it had toppled over. Again.)

Very cold again today. I spent a while being distracted trying to spot the woodpecker I could hear in the maple tree. Molly seemed to enjoy all the birds flitting about, but she also was in such a hurry to get to the heater vent when we went back inside that she didn’t even wait for me to get her harness off.

Happy winter solstice everyone! The days only get longer (for those of us in the northern hemisphere, at least.)
It was *cold* today. Molly started shivering even through her sweater, and I decided enough was enough. When I went to scoop her, she actually scampered for the door, so I can’t help but think she was cold enough to want inside but being stubborn about it. Cats.

Poor Molly. My schedule for today meant I had to cram our walk in between other commitments when it hopefully wouldn’t be freezing out. She did not appreciate being yoinked inside.

It was chilly enough today that Molly probably could have used her sweater, but she was antsy enough that I wasn’t going to try to get her to hold still long enough to put it on. Very much on the go today.

I spent most of our walk debating how I wanted to phrase some sort wind-based title for today and trying to ignore just how absurdly warm it was. And then I came inside and found out, no, it’s not just relatively warmer than I was expecting, it was *sixty two* degrees out. Sixty two. (That’s 16.6 for you Celsius folks, which I cannot overstate is stupid warm for mid-December in New England).
Temperature aside, I was honestly surprised we got a walk in today because the forecast basically calls for rain and wind all day. We’ve got a wind and flood advisory until four today, with the weather this morning bad enough that Molly took one look out the slider and actually went for my lap instead of demanding we go outside anyway. (I think it was the ladder blowing over that convinced her. No, I’m not bothering to pick it back up until the wind eases up.)

For anyone unfamiliar, that noise at the start of our walk? One very upset squirrel. It was like that when we got there I swear.
We’ve returned to more seasonable weather, meaning cold and grey. Not quite cold enough for Molly to need her sweater, but icky enough that she didn’t really fight when I got called back inside to help with a dog thing.

Molly took a while to get going today. I think it’s because our walk interrupted her afternoon nap-food cycle, which is a very important part of a kitty’s day. Basically, Molly finds a sunbeam to nap in, snoozes until the sun moves elsewhere, wakes up and demands food, eats, and then finds a new sunny spot to sleep.
Still, it was once again super nice out today, to the point it was honestly a little unsettling for December in New England.
