Saint Nicholas Day December 6

Santa and Marv and the Moose!

 

When Marv and I were talking about Marv's December Header (on November 30th...) Marv asked if it could have a MOOSE in it! Well,  Moose do wander through our neck of the woods in BC. 

I can just picture Marv, tail flicking with confidence, belting out a “Moose on the Highway Blues” to a big antlered audience under the stars 🌌🦌🐾.
It’s a perfect image for Marv as a troubadour, serenading a moose with trail tips and cautionary verses about late-night road crossings!

 Nd how would it begin....

I can see Marv finding Santa...stuck... 

 

On a frosty night by the highway’s glow,  
Santa cried, “Oh dear, where did Dasher go?”  
His sleigh was stalled, the stars hung loose,  
Till Marv trotted up and called to a moose:  

“Friend of the forest, strong and bright,  
Would you guide Santa’s sleigh tonight?  
The world needs cheer, the children wait—  
Come lend your antlers, it’s not too late!”  

The moose gave a nod, with a jolly snort,  
And off they flew from the snowy port.  
Marv sang a tune as the sleigh took flight,  
“Moose save Christmas on this winter night!”  

Thus this is how we got the photos!

 

Welcome to December 2025! My FAVORITE Month of the year!

It's the Countdown to Christmas! Only 25 more days until the Jolly old elf delivers the presents! This year I've asked for a Yeowwww Nanner! Kozmo got one when he went to the vet at the end of November, and he does not like to share! 

Anyway on to the badges!

Yep! Our Peeps do love us cats and we DO love them! This month we are going to make sure that we do all the things that make our Peep THANKFUL that we are in her life! 

  I don't know about you guys, but Peeps up here in the Great White North are hurting. The mill in our village closed last winter and the Chip Mill closed last month. The Mill in the nearest big town has cut back to only a single shift and that's just within 60 miles! Its happening everywhere! Shelters across North America are reporting record-high pet surrenders, driven by rising costs, housing instability, and long-term care challenges that many pet owners are unable to meet. We don't have much, but us cats (and Nutmeg) have said we will cut back so we can help our local shelter. December is Gift Your Shelter Month and we are gifting our local shelter extra this year to help them out.

 

And Kozmo wants everyone to know he is celebrating a week of THANKFULS! 

He got to go and visit the Vet to get his blood taken for his Thyroid near the end of November. He also has been having joint pain issues and not only did he have a terrific visit with the Vets, Vet Tech and all the other staff, but he gotted some medication to help with his joints. Because he does take a lot of stuff for his thyroid, they are giving him a medication that just helps the joints (its NOT a pain killer). Well he IS feeling better and he wanted to celebrate a week of THANKFULS!

Mom is thankful too! Mr Kozmo had been waking Mom up a lot in the middle of the night and he has been sleeping better for the last week (so she is NOT as sleep deprived)!

Oh Yes, We thought we would post a picture of the Nanner (after each of us has had a "play" with it!)

Nanner guts EVERYWHERE!

YES! I did this!
