Hi there, my name is Dobby,
And this webpage is my new hobby.
Hoping you will like my mews,
So I can get lots of views!
The Catnip Mouse
​
Stretching out with a lengthy yawn,
A new day starts with a colorful dawn.
As the day has slowly begun,
Soaking up the morning sun.
Taking to my furry feet,
Time to hunt and find a treat.
Scurrying quickly through the house,
Pushing around a catnip mouse.
​
Taking time for a bit to eat,
Before again taking to my feet.
From a window looking outside,
Watching two birds nearly collide.
Running quickly to the door,
I want to chase them all the more.
Unable to chase the outside grouse,
Quickly pouncing on my catnip mouse.
​
Tossing it high up in the air,
Watching it descend with great care.
Hitting the ground with a bounce,
Quickly on it, I do pounce.
Rubbing the catnip on my fur,
Letting out a contented purr.
Feeling mellow in my little cathouse,
Curling up with my catnip mouse.
​
Catnap
Letting out a lengthy yawn,
Just before the break of dawn.
After a busy night of play,
Time to snooze the day away.
A quick bath, licking paws,
Taking time to trim the claws.
Finding a blanket in which to wrap,
Time to take another catnap.
​
A familiar sound from the kitchen does come,
As the can opener begins to hum.
Stretching the nose to clean a whiff,
Time to get up for a detailed sniff.
Leaping quickly off the bed,
Knowing it's time to be fed.
Leaving behind not a single scrap,
Time to take another catnap.
​
Contently sitting, licking chops,
From the window watching raindrops.
Outside, it's dark and dreary,
Inside it's warm and cheery.
Needing to feel safe and snug,
Deciding it's time to get a hug.
Seeking out a familiar lap,
Time to take another catnap.
​
Crawling out of a nice warm sack,
Time to grab a little snack.
Eating dry food at first,
Working up a terrible thirst.
Leaping up on the sink,
Teetering for balance on the brink.
After a quick drink from the tap,
Time to take another catnap.
​
Just about this time each day,
Feeling frisky, time to play.
Ignoring toys with all the fluff,
Don't like all that store bought stuff.
A piece of paper, or rubber ball,
Something to chase on down the hall.
Hiding the toy with a little paw slap,
Time to take another catnap.
​
Tis the life of a domestic cat,
Being lazy and getting fat.
Getting into things, requiring admonition,
Giving love, without condition.
Gently stroking thick soft fur,
Letting out a contented purr.
Forgiven any minor mishap,
Time to take another catnap.

A Checklist to Camping With Your Pets
I have enjoyed camping with my pets for many years in both a tent and an RV across most of my home State of New York as well as most of the Northeast. Camping at both state and private campgrounds, I have come up with a checklist of things to consider when planning a camping trip.
