Cats & Dogs






Most people are either cat people or dog people, not often both. When Ira moved to Canada we lived in a village and I had a dog ( Buddy, my Jack Russell Terrier ). I started to feed a cat that was a stray, well by the time we left that house and moved to Ontario I was feeding about 15 stray cats. I digress, when Ira moved to Canada she did not like cats or dogs, after about 6 months Ira went from not wanting to give the cats table scraps to buying food for them at the grocery store. I would say Ira is both a cat and dog person now.


 



My Daughter Amy who is definitely cat cat person, named every stray cat that dropped by to eat. I think some cats just dropped by to get a name.





I love all animals, and enjoy sitting and having a cat or dog around. I let Buddy ( our Dog ) sleep at my feet. Ira tells him to get down and he comes to me to hide under the blankets, he is like a furry foot warmer.





Our youngest is a dog person when she was little we gave Buddy ( our dog ) some left over Japanese food, ( our youngest daughter loves baby corns ), to our surprise we found buddy and her sitting side by side eating these left overs. Sharing 50/50, well She got the baby corns and he got the rest !

Parasol Umbrella and NCIS

I watch my wife crochet and I fall asleep, I go with her to buy yarn and I want to fall asleep. I am not a crochet person, but I am truly amazed by the quality and expertise she employs to make her parasols.

Being a guy, I do not even use an umbrella, and the thought of an umbrella looking thing made of fabric that leaks when it rains, just baffles me. I know women like to look pretty and fancy, so I guess I get it. Until Ira made one and then I thought that this looks so cool, not that you would see me using one, well I might if it had blue tooth and a Calgary Flames or Miami Dolphin logo.


Each handmade crocheted parasol is made of lace, oooh sounds sexy already, okay when the wife mentions lace, everything before it was blah blah like Charlie Browns teacher, but after it is as clear as kindergarten teacher reading about some baby duck crossing the street.

My Wife and I watch NCIS and Abby often has a black parasol, which makes Ira like her even more. I hear Abby is so cool, did you see that parasol ? When me and a few friends are watching TV and some hot babe is on TV, the guys say wow did you see her ? I fear my response will be no I missed her, was she holding a parasol ?

I even got in a quote from one of my favorite movies, The Waterboy 1998 movie with Adam Sandler. I love this hat it is so cute.

 Happy Feet !


I remember when the kids were young they were so cute. I also remember paying my oldest who was about 2 years old at the time to check her baby brother diaper for pooh. She would say no daddy its empty or Eww Daddy come quick. Once she got older no chance of her checking the new babies diaper.

With all that said, Ira makes incredible animal hats for all ages, check out her website...
