Photo/s of the day.

I'm gunna getchoo!







Let's just say it plainly, right now. Maybe won't chase rocks. Truly, we did try. Actually, mostly we just lazed around for a while. Here's Maybe and Glen.



Here Glen is puffing up sand and she's curious.



She also hangs out with Moet.



When she's not attacking his tail, she's copying everything he does.



Here she is being the closest thing to a cat princess I've ever seen. I'm gonna make her a tiara. Anyway, today we got our quote for liquid limestone pathways to help out with this sand situation. The quote was $3000. Wow. Wow because it's a really reasonable price. Wow because it's three grand.



Eventually, upon realising that Maybe would have none of the 'catching rocks' game that Moet does (which Moet would also have none of because he was rolling around happily in the garden), we decided to get her favourite toy outside.



She will do crazy things for this toy. She started to climb up my body once, for it.



Earlier today she tried climbing the wall to get it, which means we can now say we have a cat that literally tries to climb the walls. Bloody menace.



The Force is strong in this one.



And then you kick out to the left and you do a little jig.



It's MINE!



I told you it was mine.



Moet was hanging around but not playing. He's been very sleepy all day, and I've wondered at times if it's the weather change. He seems alert enough now. In the background is Glen's car, Patch.



The end! :)

Great pics. What an adorable little family you have! :)

Wonderful slices of Maybe's life. That toy looks like one I have for Siren, except I have a feather tuft on the end (I can swap it out, but can't find any of the other ends to get - and she LOVES feathers).

It's very cute that she's copying Moet, a couple of those pictures look like he's teaching her the ways of Kitteh.

They remind me of my sons.

Great pictures :)
It isn't hard to understand that it is her favorite toy :)

[sidheblessed.livejournal.com]

I love the first one of her and Moet. It looks like Moet is saying "Now this is called a plant, Maybe," and she's going "Oh Moet that is so very interesting!"

Icon + Sheltie love.

I hate to do this as I have noticed the most feedback on my own blog is from cat pics, but I LOVE that cat! And the pics of the two of them copying poses is LAWLs.

I am curious though. Americans have an idea that Australia is full of sand and lots of poisonous bugs/insects/snakes etc. I noticed bare feet. Is our perception of the nasty biting-stinging things of Australia off?

I imagine its regional. Like not all of Idaho is potatoes. Most is wheat and mountains. But Americans get strange ideas and aren't always culturally aware. In fact, when I first moved out here to west, some my eastern peers had puzzled knowledge-- one classmate (not a friend) asked if Idaho had electricity and how you fended off indian attacks. I really wondered how THAT person got into college.

No, just today we found a large adult redback spider (despite the house having been treated by pest control a couple of weeks ago) where Glen was sitting. The kind of spider that you'd need antivenom for if you got bitten.

The thing is, we don't know any other way of living, we're used to it - go outside in bare feet, unless it's so hot you risk getting serious burns walking outside bare.

But yes, we have venomous bitey things. Probably not as many as Queensland, but still, a fair few. It's just... yeah, you get used to it. I know that there are dugites in the bushland behind us, which is thought to have one of the more lethal venoms in the world; I walk in that bushland a bit. Aside from general awareness, you can't get paranoid or think about it all the time; otherwise you'd never end up doing anything, or going anywhere.

And Perth is *definitely* full of sand! But not everywhere is.

LOL When I moved from North Dakota people down to a bigger city people asked me how we survived without TV up there. Now that I live in Las Vegas (Sin City), I have people ask if I live in a hotel. I think these weird ideas we have are hilarious.

Another common one for me to hear is "you don't look American" because my heritage is a mix of Irish and Mexican. XD

[silverjackal.livejournal.com]

Heh. Great photos! I particularly like the one where Maybe is twisted around, going after her toy. You can see the tiger looking out of her eyes there!

[aleia-kali.livejournal.com]

Lovely photos thank you for sharing them :)

Lost Vegas

Now that I live in Las Vegas (Sin City), I have people ask if I live in a hotel. I think these weird ideas we have are hilarious.

I meet a lot of people who think I commute to Vegas from Los Angeles every day. :/

[anrui-ichido.livejournal.com]

I love the picture where Maybe's tail is sticking straight up and looks veeeery similar to the toy she loves so much.

And d'awwww. Copy cat Maybe-Moet. D'AWWWW.

[belenen.livejournal.com]

awww! ♥

[anrui-ichido.livejournal.com]

Also, WTF brand of car is that? :O *ignorant North American*

[sonne-windsoul.livejournal.com]

Utter cuteness =3 Especially the pics of Moet and Maybe looking in the same direction and the one when Maybe is twisting around.

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

It's a Toyota Corolla 2. It's an import, and a hatchback. It has an awesome red button with Japanese writing on it that we've never pressed; we think if we press it, the car will explode.

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

They're ALL rapscallions.

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

Yeah, she actually spent a fair amount of the day not copying him yesterday, which I think he ultimately liked very much. Lol.

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

Complete with the 'you two, STOP IT!' ;)

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, she loves it. Moet won't play with it at all.

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

Knowing Maybe she is going 'stuff you and your plant knowledge, I'm gonna PLAY!'

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

They're all ratbags. All of them. Lol.

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

My pleasure! :)

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

They are wonderful. :)

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

I love the ones of Maybe and Moet together, though she can't stay near him for too long without wanting to play, and he doesn't always want to play, so they don't stay side by side for longer than about five minutes right now.

[anrui-ichido.livejournal.com]

LOL! That's awesome. The logo just looks completely different from the Toyotas I know. :D

Maybe it's an 'eject' button!

[hazey-sunshine.livejournal.com]

^_^ aww! It's nice to see her with Glen, for size comparison - she's teeny!

[jet-ski.livejournal.com]

At least we don't have funnelweb spiders. They freak me out!

[jet-ski.livejournal.com]

my import doesnt have that cool red button! ripped off!

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

My brother has said that if he ever won lotto, the first thing he'd do is buy an identical car, and then press the red button in Glen's car, so that we have a back up.

It was hilarious. He so desperately wants to know what that button does.

[singingnettle.livejournal.com]

Aw, that's great.

[sheistheweather]

Hee hee heeeee...

[earthguardian.livejournal.com]

Maybe is so small from far away!

Americans have an idea that Australia is full of sand and lots of poisonous bugs/insects/snakes etc. I noticed bare feet. Is our perception of the nasty biting-stinging things of Australia off?

They're there. It's just the things you do - like shaking out your clothes before taking them off the line or putting them on - are automatic background noise. It's like I don't have to think about things like not taking water with me when I go walking, it's just unthinkable not to. You take it for granted that This Is What You Do, and get on with life.

Also, there's the fact that Australians as a whole are typified by laid-back bloody-mindedness and a laissez-faire attitude to danger. My Dad picks up redbacks barehanded so that he can put them in a jar and take them somewhere more appropriate (to either kill or release, depending on what works best at the time). I went out to my mother's Stash Room yesterday to get something, went back inside to get my camera and Mum when I saw one of the white variants of a redback and when photos had been taken we both left it there (in one of the major lanes through piles of Stuff in that Stash Room). It wasn't doing any harm.

And Perth is *definitely* full of sand! But not everywhere is.

Yeah, we have clay, or at least the parts of Adelaide I've lived in have had clay. Clay with fun hydro-whatever properties, which make the houses crack but it's great for moisture retention in the garden!
