Chunky (aka Miley the cat) is quite the character. I always joked with my last roommate (Michael) that one needed a back brace to pick up such a hefty girl. The standing joke was that picking up Chunk once in a day served for at least a day's worth of exercise, if not more. Because of that, I decided that Chunk needed her own fitness program.
Hence the birth of CHUNKERCIZE!! Now my little fitness guru is a world renowned mogul, building her exercise empire and always working on that elusive goldmine of her workout routine, the Power Nap.
Catch the Chunk on her very own FB page (like her page for all of her special tips and poses).
A lot has happened since my last post way back in March. I have plenty of pictures and stories to add, I just need to get my laptop fixed so that it's easier to post. I've been far better at posting information and happenings on Facebook. I promise to get back to my neglected blog!
Today my new roommate (Jae) and I headed south back into Indiana to pick up a new addition to the colorful menagerie here on the farm. I have mentioned some of the critters here, but, until now, I didn't have pics to go with my comments. I will start today's post with some pictures of the animals residing on the property.
We'll start with the llama (Snickers) and his lovely lady ewes, since I've already mentioned them. Those girls look like they are gonna pop out some babies any day now, but we're still waiting!!
There are also quite a few ducks and chickens running around. The ducks come in a variety of colors, and there are even several Muscovies.
Hershey and Cadbury are the resident meat calves, although they have a long way to go until they are big enough for the dinner plate.
Coyote is Quimby's new bff. She doesn't care so much for the Chunk, but Chunky has lots of love for the puppies of the world.
And, of course, my ponies are right at home amongst all the other creatures.
So what else could we add to the bustling little farm to make it even more colorful? What, indeed! How about this fuzzy little face?
This cute little girl was a "free to a good home" pony-sized molly mule. She's still just a baby at about a year and a half old. The guys who had her seemed to think she was crazy and flighty. Watch this video and see if you think the same thing:
The new mule (we still need a name for her) caused quite a sensation in the neighborhood. Horses and calves couldn't figure out what this strange looking beast was.
Watch the fierce, wild mule on film! And please, leave a comment if you have any suggestions for this little devil's name. One last note... she is NOT mine, she's my roommate's. So far I've refrained from adding more to my own head count!
It's highly addictive and can be a "gateway" to more deviant behavior!
It can even lead to black outs, loss of consciousness, your cat acting like he is swimming on land, and your cat pretending to be a rug. Don't take a chance!!
Steer YOUR cats away from the dangerous substance that is catnip!!
Look closely; that is NOT Phat Tiger. While I thought my blue-eyed, silver tabby-pointed siamese cross Chunka Lunka was fairly unique colored, it turns out there is ANOTHER cat out there with very similar coloring. But never fear, Miley...
There's not a cat alive who pulls off the Tiger 'Tude like you!
...As the saying goes, "better late than never." I always send out a picture collage for Christmas to close friends and family. I showed last year's result in this post. I finally chose my design to use this year. Hopefully my cards will reach everyone before the new year. All of the pictures I used (except for the very nice Layla pic) can be found in the blog in one post or another. Enjoy!
