Friendly Fill-Ins Week 436

42 comments

 

Hi everyone! Time for the fill-ins. I came up with the first two sentences and my wonderful co-host, Lorianne of Four-Legged Furballs came up with the second two. If you didn’t do a post for them, you can also answer in the comment section. Thank you to all who participate. Don’t forget to add your link to the hop so everyone can visit you. The link is open until Wednesday night.

 

1. I would love to find an easier way to _______________________________.
2. My October list includes ________________, _______________ and ___________________.
3. I know better than to _________.
4. _________ should be illegal.
My answers:
1. I would love to find an easier way to stock up on litter. It is tiring to lift the 20-pound bags into the cart, load them into the car and then bring them into the house. I was using Walmart pick up, but now when I try to order the litter online, they have it listed as out of stock all the time. I think the workers were too lazy to deal with it too.
2. My October list includes meeting dear friends in Maine for lunch, celebrating my mom’s birthday (AKA: Grammie) and The Boy’s 2nd birthday and our 32nd wedding anniversary.
3. I know better than to try to trim Penelope’s toenails.
4.  Abandoning a pet should be illegal. Putting carrots in cake should be too. I like carrots, but not in my cake.
We are joining Feline Friday now hosted by Messymimi. My flashback is from October 2020. Angel Sammy was dressed as Wilbur the pig for Halloween. I am working on this year’s costumes. I usually have a theme like books, tv shows, movies, but this year it will be anything goes.

  1. Sammy made for an adorable Wilbur!!
    I like your fill in answers, and the carrots made me giggle, because I use Oleo Carrots for the pups to help with loose stool..and Dalton almost always spits some of them out onto the floor…he seems to not like carrots either. LOL!
    Your October is quite full! nd they are all wonderful things, too.

    1. I would love to find an easier way to read through and comment on all the blogs I follow, I am lucky is I get 1 third of them done on the nights when I have some time…
    2. My October list includes traveling to Toronto and then on to Vancouver and then attending my niece’s wedding.
    3. I know better than to tell hubby what to eat, or what to wear…sigh…and even forbid that I should pack his suitcase if we are going somewhere together!
    4. Taxing pet food and supplies should be illegal.They are expensive enough as it is.

    1. Thank you. 🙂 Good boy Dalton. 🙂
      Thanks for these great answers. I agree about pet food. I hope you have a great time at the wedding and seeing family. My hubby wouldn’t even know how to pack. 🙂 XO

  2. It sounds like October is a busy time for you, but all very enjoyable. We should have been going on a cruise at the end of October for our 53rd wedding anniversary but of course had to cancel it. Hopefully we can do something next year.
    I don’t like carrots in a cake either, the same way I don’t think pineapple belongs on a pizza.
    Angel Sammy looks very cute as Wilbur the pig.

  4. That is a sweet pic of Angel Sammy as Wilbur the Pig.
    I agree abandoning pets should be illegal.
    I don’t like carrots in my cake either. Yuk!

  5. I too have been using the Walmart brand of clay cat litter until recently. And yes even here in Ohio there hasn’t been any. So we actually now go to Tractor Supply and buy 25 lb bags for the same price and they’ve never been out of it yet.

    1. I will check Tractor Supply- thanks for the tip. My Walmart has it in stock every time I go in. XO

  7. 1. I would love to find an easier way to turn that mattress in my room that feels like it is made of matter from a black hole in outer space!

    2. My Octiber list includes winnowing out excess clothes from my closet and getting rid of some of the clutter.

    3. I know better than to try medicating Katie EVER.

    4. Taxes on utility bills is something that really fluffs my feathers!

    1. Thank you for these great answers. I hate new mattresses as most are pillow top and not flippable. Maybe one of your sons can help. Sorry Katie is so difficult. Brody is giving me fits with his meds. XO

  8. Chewy delivers my litter. It’s packed in a box so I have to open the box on the front porch and carry in the individual containers. I also found for an extra $2, I can get 2 20 lb. jugs instead of a 40 lb. one that just about kills me. I tried the lightweight stuff a long time ago and at the time, I didn’t like it. Maybe I should try again.

  10. Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh I look forward to lunch photos with friends…Whom we all know and love.
    My daughter orders her litter from Chewy. It is delivered right to their door.
    Hugs Cecilia

  11. Such a cute pic of Angel Sammy.

    We have the same issue with the litter. We used to get it at Costco, but when my husband had his hernia surgery and I had my health issues, we could no longer pick the boxes up. So, we now order through Chewy. It’s still a chore to get it from our porch into the house, but better than the store into a shopping cart into the car and then into the house. Chewy is easier but still a problem.

  14. OhMyGosh!… Angel Sammy as Wilbur! Too cute♥ I think your October sounds wonderful, Ellen. Yes to #4. I really loved carrot cake, or maybe it was just the cream cheese frosting. But all that cinnamon burns my stomach now.
    My Fill-Ins—
    1. I would love to find an easier way to clean the glass cook top. Maybe a magic wand.
    2. My October list includes mini Kinder bars (because Halloween is a good excuse to eat them), too many doctor appointments and hopefully a potent cold front to cool us off a bit.
    3. I know better than to go to the grocery store any other time but night time after the snowbirds come back. They are already coming back and it’s not fun driving.
    4. Horse racing should be illegal. The racing industry is corrupt beyond words. It’s the horses that suffer.
    Happy Friday, Meowing Crew!

    1. Thank you. 🙂 Sorry cinnamon burns your tummy. I thought it was supposed to sooth. Thank you for these great answers. Hope the appointments are just checkups. Sorry the snowbirds are arriving. My niece’s in-laws just did, they have a place in Fort Myers along with several others from my town. I agree on horse racing and dog racing too. XO

  18. Charlee: “Some pig!”
    Chaplin: “We agree with you about abandoning pets being illegal. If the humans do it, throw the book at ’em! Really hard!”
    Lulu: “Our Dada has a lot of silly rules about what he likes in cake and cookies but he is totally up for carrot cake. He says he will take your pieces off your hands if you need to get rid of some.”

  20. 1. I would love to find an easier way to clean house. I used to clean so easily, but in my 70s it’s a long and slow process.
    2. My October list includes lunch with our neighbor, lunch with my sister and brother in law and lunch with my brother and sister in law. It’s good to keep in touch with family and friends.
    3. I know better than to talk politics or religion on my blog.
    4. Being mean should be illegal.

    Thank you for co-hosting the Friendly Fill-Ins.

    Have a fabulous weekend, Ellen. Big hug to you and lots of scritches to the kitties. ♥

  21. Schlepping around the litter will always be a pain in someone’s back, unfortunately.

    Penelope is probably a lot like our Charismatic Enigma SissyCat. Approach with anything she doesn’t want and you will regret it.

    Angel Sammy was such a cute Wilbur, thanks for linking up with Feline Friday!

  22. I am totally with you on the litter. It turns out that the kind we use is as cheap on Chewy as it is at Walmart (with free delivery). So now I only have to get it from the porch.
