Quirky Fridays

Pachyderms, Pumpkins and Holiday Movies?

Today is a very special Quirky Friday Halloween holiday two-fer. First up is Oregon Zoo pachyderms pulverizing pumpkins in the annual “Squishing the Squash” event. We’ve got elephants versus 1,200 pounds of giant pumpkins. Guess who wins? Miss Lily is even practicing for soccer or football using the pumpkins and plastic grey cans. She’s a little several hundred pounds cutie!

Next up is the Hallmark’s Channel launch of their Countdown to Christmas movie series on the link below. On Halloween. Yeah, I don’t get the timing either, except maybe they had too many new movies and not enough weekends? Also, know there are many other holidays out there to celebrate besides Christmas, so everyone can start their countdown for the holiday of their choice. Because the holiday decorations have been right next to the Halloween candy for several weeks now.

Have a great weekend and a Happy Halloween Quirky Friday! Don’t eat too much candy….

How About Basic Training For Kittens?

Discovered another video I can’t believe I haven’t seen before yesterday. Spec Ops Cat loves his Friskies wet food, plus his Science Diet, so it makes sense this little training video has been a big hit online. It’s always a good thing when the old timer shows the FNG (#$^ new guy) the ropes, be it soldier or kitten.

Have a great weekend and stay warm and dry! Happy Quirky Friday!

Who Is Your Snuggle Bunny?

The leaves are throwing themselves off the trees and the temperature is heading lower. With tons of Halloween candy in the store, thoughts turn to snuggling and baked goods. These two guys seem to be old friends and are enjoying a leisurely cuddle on the floor.

Wishing you all warm snuggles and furry friends this coming weekend. Happy Quirky Friday!

Are You A Cat Lover? The Cat Daddy Is Back!

One of my favorite tv shows is “My Cat From Hell” with Jackson Galaxy, aka the Cat Daddy. A new season starts Saturday night at 8 p.m. on Animal Planet. Yeah! I even have Jackson’s book, “Cat Daddy,” which explains how a cat saved his life.

The show is so interesting because it shows how 9 times out of ten it is the humans with issues, not the cat. The cat is reacting to the untrained people. Luckily, Spec Ops Cats did a thorough job of training me, so life is good when I follow his rules.

If you don’t have Animal Planet, the show now has their own YouTube channel and you can watch past seasons online! Check out why Jackson does this work below. Adopt! Spay and neuter! Save the kitties!

Can You Water Ski Like Twiggy?

We’re heading into a glorious weather weekend here in Oregon, 80 degrees and no smoke, high humidity or scalding temps. What will we all be doing? Heading for the water and picnics to enjoy this blessed gift of great weather.

What better way to send us off on the weekend than getting tips from Twiggy the water skiing squirrel. This athlete not only water skis, he watches the spectators, grooms himself, goes one hand only and hands free while on his ride. What a performer!

Have a great weekend and Happy Quirky Friday!

I have several yoga/exercise balls around the house I’m not using. Seems like these kids have come up with a great way to exercise and entertain themselves. They’re having so much fun with the simple skill of playing ball!

Have a great weekend and Happy Quirky Friday!

P.S. You have to watch it on YouTube!
