Halloween Costumes 2007

Happy Halloween!

With thanks to the good folks at SQPN, specifically Father Roderick, the story of Jack the Depressed Pumpkin:

We here at Casa de Buchwald will be home this evening handing out treats to anyone who shows up at our door in costume. Everyone is “dressing up” this year!! I’ll be in full Hogwarts uniform as Hermione Granger & Ratzi has grudgingly agreed to change his name to Crookshanks for the evening, but that doesn’t guarantee he’ll hang around. Linus, too, has changed his name. He’s now known as Nermal and I think it’s safe to say he’ll eagerly greet EVERYONE tonight. Matt will be a… wait for it… (/me points up to the website address) ninja, with hair because he’s not brave enough to shave his head.

If we would have stayed in our apartment…

Ratzi would have done this:

Happy Birthday, Ratzi!

Our Ratzi is TWO YEARS OLD! I can’t believe how these last few years have flown by. *sniff* He’s not a baby anymore. *sniff*

Linus 6 month update

Linus turned 6mos old over the weekend. It’s hard to believe how fast our tiny little kitten has grown up! He went to the vet today for his “surgery” and also to be re-tested for FIV because his first test when he was only a few mos old was positive. The vet’s office just called and said he did well with surgery and his FIV test was NEGATIVE this time! It’s nice to finally have that peace of mind knowing that both cats are definitely healthy!

Ratzi & Linus are, I think, finally adjusted to life with each other. They chase each other around the house for at least an hour every morning & sometimes I have to remind myself that the house isn’t about to collapse! Ratzi is a little bit jealous & territorial still, but Linus knows who’s boss so it works out OK for the most part. Linus’s favorite toy is still the little stuffed dog that came with him when we got him, although recently he found a little glow-in-the-dark frog that has been keeping him entertained for longer than 5 minutes at a time.



Linus’s “Christmas portrait”



Linus destroyed the gift bag in about 30 seconds… and it only took him 48 hours to do the same to that toy rat!



Ratzi loves my Sketchers almost as much as I do
