I'm so excited !

I am so excited that I think I just slimed myself [blushes]

I was getting very sad because I was stuck at home so much while the weather was bad and mom started working her new job at headquarters.

She was gone longer during the day and I was very lonely because Bad Kitty sleeps a lot. She’s kind of boring that way during the day.

But on Thursday, I had a very exciting day.

Mom took me for a ride on the TRAIN and took me to work.

Everyone was very friendly on the train and at her office. I hope I get to go again!

Then we got into a van and went to one of my absolute favorite places to do some volunteer work.

Being a socially and environmentally responsible slug, I love to do volunteer work.

One of my favorite humans, Chris Carrell from Friends of the Hylebos just named me the “Official Slug of Hylebos Creek”

You can read all about it here

Here I am with Chris



and here I am with Mom and Chris. Chris thinks I’m very brave for braving the storm damage to explore the creek.



And here I am doing some very hard work grubbing out Himalayan Blackberry roots for Earth Corps, REI and Friends of the Hylebos



I also got to go hiking afterwards, but mom says that I’ll “dilute the message” if I blog about that right now.

I don’t get it. I wasn’t going to pour water on it?

That’s it for now.

Slug Love

~

Mom said everyone was worried about me because I haven’t posted much.

Don’t worry, I’m a happy slug and have lots of love. Mom’s just been very busy and she hasn’t wanted to take me out where I’d get wet and slimy (I don’t know what she has against slimy, slimy feels good) and stinky from mold, so I’ve been staying close to home.

I will get out for some new adventures soon.

I have a new friend, his name is “Crazy Kitty”. Aunt Betsy brought him over after Christmas. If you push his tummy, he yowls, purrs and laughs hysterically. Bad Kitty HATES him. She lays her ears back and leaves the room every time someone pushes his tummy.

Can’t we all get along?



Give Crazy Kitty a chance !

That’s it for now, Mom needs the computer.

I feel the need... The need for SPEED !

Wahoo !!!

My mom took me cross-country skiing today.

It’s even MORE fun than snowshoeing, because you get to go faster and cover more ground.

I even got to slide down a hill all on my own.



It was really cold in the backpack though.



Mom says I need to go sit by the heater for a while, or I’ll start to stink.

I don’t want to be a stinky slug.

That’s it for now
