Mistletoe found half of her bed occupied by Alexander's head so she takes refuge under the table as we're watching "The Hockey Guy" Shannon Skanes and his wife Yvonne livestreaming their coverage of the NHL's trade deadline day. If you have any interest in hockey whatsoever, I highly recommend Shannon's YouTube channel. His analysis (and clear love) of the game is often way better than the much more expensively produced pundit pits on the national…

You know Mistletoe is tired and just not into moving from where she has sprawled if she lets me get that close to her nose with the camera! She finally decides to crawl back into her bed at the end of the shoot... :)

Mistletoe is showing off her new favourite spot behind one of the recliners and near the new vinyl plank flooring that was installed by my lovely neighbour. Who knew the flooring would perfectly complement her colouration?

Mistletoe had taken over the recliner during the fourth vote purportedly trying to elect Representative Kevin McCarthy as House Speaker. It was clear the previous day's silliness had taken a toll on Mistletoe as she started out happy but as the vote progressed, she did her best broken puppy look. You'll know it when you see it... :) It didn't take her long to get past that and go straight to "if you think you're…

After the kids had done their best zombie imitation this morning as they returned to school in the New Year, Mistletoe was quite happy to get back to her routine of perching in the co-pilot's seat and making her wishes for loving very apparent on the way back to the house. And if you thought for a moment that I'd be allowed to leave the house to collect the kids from school without a certain…

This year's Christmas was relatively low-key and after a rather hectic year, that was more than welcome. There were presents, there was ham and an almighty spread of good eats, and just some general hanging about enjoying each other's company. Mistletoe was doing her level best to help Alexander open his present. Well, it was more like "Mistletoe loves ripping paper with teeth and claws" more than actual helping for Alex to finally get the…

Mistletoe is back to one of her favourite perches and looking awfully cute in the process before she decides she's going to show how to properly do downward dog. Eagle-eyed readers might notice something isn't quite visible in these pictures. If you remember, her long-lost favourite frisbee had finally been liberated from it's hiding place under the stove in the kitchen where it'd been for a couple of months. It didn't take her terribly long…

Remember those big books called "Where's Waldo?" were you'd have to find a rather nerdy looking character somewhere in a very densely populated picture? Who knew Mistletoe's fur colour would allow us to play the same game with the new flooring that was recently laid down in the kitchen? ;) As an aside, we did manage to solve a mystery that had vexed us for several months which included tearing this house apart to find…

From stretching out for naps to stretching out for belly rubs and occasionally trying to hide from the world, we wouldn't want you to think Mistletoe is at all deprived for attention. Because she's not. No matter what *SHE* may think... :)

Not much to say about this gallery other than there is a heck of a lot more cuteness and a heck of a lot less nostril on a face that's made for radio! And *THAT* should make everyone quite happy... :)
