Something old is new again

[Laura's Babies]

Some of you will remember when Mike and I made this in 2004 (I think)


The babies have really used and enjoyed it over the years but time had taken it toll on it as seen here. They had schredded the carpet in several places. I was constantly cleaning up the carpet pieces from the floors..


I have been wanting and needing to redo it but didn't have the tools to do it with. Once Mike moved back, he was quick to help redo it and we did, finished it yesterday... For the posts, I just cleaned up the schredded sisal rope and replace the tore up carpet with new sisal rope, we put new carpet on the carpeted areas and walla!~
Here is the new.... OLD perch, redone..


Giz spends the most time on it and she has already tried it out as you can see.

Mike said Sandra has been hounding him of pictures of him and me with our cats. Sandra is the founder and brains behind Spay Baton Rouge. She holds fund raisers and one is coming up http://www.spaybatonrouge.org/
. She wanted pictures of us for this so before he left we took pictures for her in our SBR T shirts... Thought you might like to see them..

And proudly showing off the perch we just finished.


He is still turned into mush with his "brats" he calls them, Klinger and Yetta and my babies remembered him when he came back and was so happy to see him.. His were happy to see me again too!

What an excellent job, Laura! When I was in PetSmart the other day, I saw one similar to yours but there's no way I could fit it into my car. Plus it was $250.00 and that definitely put the kaibosh on it. You could probably make some extra money selling those, girl. And btw, if you get any skinnier, you're going to fly away. Seriously, though, you look great!

It cost me $100 to make it the first time and I didn't think that was bad for the money and what "we" got out of it. They all have used it and enjoyed it, even my great grandson likes to lean on the shelf at window level and look out the window. People are always stopping to look at the "cats in the window" from outside and it is Giz's favorite place to sleep day and night.

Yea I know how thin I look. People are so use to seeing me with the weight that they can't get over how skinny I look now. I am the weight now that I was most of my adult life, until I went to work out on the river and discovered cream cheese..LOL!

Mike had gained weight and says he knows he looks fat now but he isn't motivated enough to give up the things he likes to eat yet, I warned him he better do it now or loosing it later is going to make him look old like it has me!

I think Giz looks extra spoiled on the new pink cushions, you did choose the color to show her off, right?

Looks great, and good for another 5 years at least!
