Birthday Bash!

April 25, 2018 ~ TailsFromTheBackyard

The Ninja Twins call The Puppy over to play with their piñata. The Puppy asks why the piñata looks like a dog. I try to make up some stuff about the brothers wanting something fun and sweet. The Puppy is next seen announcing she's full of treats. As are the cats. Except the Slinky One says the treats are the same kind Nanny-Ma gives them.

Sometimes I just have to draw what the visions tell me.

My Sons Are Growing Up

April 23, 2018 ~ TailsFromTheBackyard

Based on an actual conversation my cats had with my mother.

Look at these cats, could you deny them whatever kind of party they want?

You know who else likes parties? The Puppy!

I call this a party!

Cats Walking On Leashes?!

April 20, 2018 ~ TailsFromTheBackyard

The Ninja Twins comment that if I drew their leashes, they musy be the punchline. They are sitting in the yard when a peachy cream cat from under the fence asks why they're tied up. The Slinky One asks the peachy cream cat why he's not tied up. The Fluffy One insists the leashes are consensual. The peachy cream cat says he has to lay off the catnip.

The Ninja Twins always go outties with leashes, but as you may have noticed I only draw them wearing their harnesses when there’s a joke to be made. The peachy-cream visitor and The Slinky One were once in the yard at the same time, but I’m not sure they noticed each other. I’ve ruined the joke, now, haven’t I?

Springtime is a Relaxing Time.

April 16, 2018 ~ TailsFromTheBackyard

The Ninja Twins are relaxing under a tree. The Fluffy One asks why I don't sit with them under the tree. I am hunched over some gardening, cracking up and declaring I can never sit. I ask them to kill me and bury me. The Slinky One asks what's with me. The Fluffy One says it is springtime.

Based on actual events.

Time is Different For Cats.

April 13, 2018 ~ TailsFromTheBackyard

The Puppy asks the Ninja Twins what they, as black cats, do for Friday the Thirteenth. The Fluffy One asks what day it is and says time is different for cats. The Slinky One says he doesn't know what day it is, it's just Bro Time. The Puppy takes a page from their book and tells me in Puppy Time she hasn't gone walkies today. I cheer for bonus walkies.

Sounds about right.

I’m On It.

April 11, 2018 ~ TailsFromTheBackyard

The porch cat asks me why if the ants want to come in I'm spraying stinky juice but I won't stop trying to get her and her cat friends to come in. The Slinky One points out some sticks I need to trim. A squirrel admits he took down a windchime thinking it was food. Laying on the ground, I say I'm on it.

What IS with me?

Dance of the Bubberflies!

April 2, 2018 ~ TailsFromTheBackyard

The Puppy greets a butterfly on her ear and says the bubberfly is taking her flippy flap. The Fluffy One greets the butterfly with the news that the catnip flowers haven't bloomed and to return later. The Slinky One swears he's just dancing with the butterfly.

If you see a butterfly today, say hello for us.

Yay, Memorable Dogs!

March 28, 2018 ~ TailsFromTheBackyard

The Puppy returns from getting the mail with a story about how the deliveryman remembered her boyfriend. The Fluffy One suggests the dog is at the strip club with Grand Funk. The Puppy questions how long they've been at the strip club and The Slinky One said he hears it's a great place.

…okay, see, my first dog (who all the young lady dogs refer to as Grand Funk) looked at an exotic dancer on television ONE TIME. It was adorable of him. I’m sure if The Puppy’s boyfriend is with Grand Funk now they’re totally watching ladies dance. *ahem*

Lunchie Time Raps!

March 26, 2018 ~ TailsFromTheBackyard

The Fluffy One says it is lunchie time and he is here to rub on his lady. The Puppy says when her mama eats, she sleeps on her feets. The Slinky One says he's going to sit just out of reach and purr because that's how he rolls.

Tomorrow is Nanny-Ma’s birthday and the fuzzy babies know how to take care of her! The Fluffy One makes her tea, The Puppy takes care of her feets, and The Slinky one is a radiator of love for his woman.

Squirrels These Days….

March 23, 2018 ~ TailsFromTheBackyard

The Ninja Twins are in the yard watching a baby squirrel. The Fluffy One comments that squirrels these days do not know of the telephone line that used to run behind the trees. The squirrel is not enthralled.

Man, the squirrels just adapted to not having that telephone line to run along.

Now I just have to hope all the really big birds that used to live in the neighbor’s pine tree don’t come here too now that their meeting spot fell over. O_O

Yay, Spring Again!

March 21, 2018 ~ TailsFromTheBackyard

I see the fuzzes being cute but I have to stab my camera to make it go so by the time I'm ready to take a picture, The Puppy is licking her butt, The Slinky One is licking his business, and The Fluffy One is prepared to run and be blurry!

Aw, yeah, it’s photo-op tiiiiiime!

The Sun Is Out, The Grass Is Green….

March 19, 2018 ~ TailsFromTheBackyard

The Slinky One is sitting in the window remarking on the birds hopping in the sun. He says he needs to get out in thesun because he's a solar-powered cat. The Fluffy One, and another window, remarks that the grass is getting greener. The Puppy, at another window, asks when it's going to snow.

Well, la-di-da, here comes spring!

I Got Goals But I’m Not a Goalpost!

March 12, 2018 ~ TailsFromTheBackyard

The Ninja Twins are playing hockey with a tree seed, using The Puppy as a goal. She comments that she's got goals but she's not a goalpost. The Slinky One asks me to bring the fridge which would be a better goal. I make a lame excuse to go do something. I look for porch cats, but one is on the roof.

You know cat hockey is nothing without fridges for goals. So why does fluffy porch cat go up on the roof? There’s no fridge up there, porch cat, what are you doing?

Also yes, I totally tell time to run by gazing absently at my bare wrist, that was 100% intentional.

More Sports!

March 9, 2018 ~ TailsFromTheBackyard

The Spider comes in to remind me of all the projects I want to do in spring, but I am busy watching the Paralympics with my sleepy Ninja Twins and the Puppy, who says she thought sports were over but now there are more and they make us beileve we can so anything so we're going to sit and watch sports.

The Paralympics are on this week! I have no idea if they’ll be on TV more than last time, but as long as I get to see the Curling I’ll be happy. I know during the Rio Paralympics the events were all on YouTube, which is a pretty nifty idea for people who don’t want to take over the TV on their very patient family who luckily enjoy the games too. >_>

So Much To Do….

March 5, 2018 ~ TailsFromTheBackyard

I look around and point out all I have to do. The Puppy doesn't want me watching her poop and The Fluffy One doesn't want me touching his sticks. The Slinky One says his beans are getting cold and he wants to go in. I say that's a good idea.

I got plans.
