Horsin' Around with Fagin

Cat

How one cute little tabby can create such a controversy, I'll never know. Fagin - originally called "LK" or Little Kitty - was part of an abandoned litter that the Purrageous Pirates people came upon. While the rest of the litter didn't make it, LK was a fighter and pulled through.

Then came the big question of whether they keep him or not. As if that was ever a question. The Black Furrball needs a cabin boy, right?

And then the name. After much discussion, they settled on Fagin from Oliver Twist. Which led to some totally dreadful woman posting about how the name was antisemitic. Made it out to sound as if the folks over at Purrageous Pirates were the second coming of Hitler. Please.

It's the name of Charles Dickens character! People really need to get a grip on themselves these days and stop being so thin skinned. They take offense to everything.

In any case, Fagin just wants to have fun, so let's have some fun with him!

The layout was created using Karen Lewis' Cute Animals #4 - Horsin' Around from Digital Freebies. Just perfect for the latest Purrageous Pirate to hit the Cat Blogosphere scene!

Special Delivery

It used to be that Ras would throw the rosin bag to the mound from the dugout. This was a legend among the minor leaguers as well, because he never missed from that distance.

Last season, I think it was, he started tagging a youngster to run the rosin bag out to the mound for him.

Last night it was Owen's turn. Owen is 3 and just started playing bitty ball, and seemed a little confused as to what they wanted him to do, dropping the rosin bag at home plate instead.

Missy a.k.a. Miss A-Miracle, the team mascot, helped get him turned in the right direction.

Good work Owen!



Digital Freebies, and well...so I did.

Going Fishing

This is the little dialog piece to go along with the Fishing Trip piece I did earlier. It's the bulk of Diamond's blog post for Friday, since I'll be tied up with baseball.

The whole thing came from Karen Lewis' Little Safari kit from Digital Freebies. BTW, if you want to see a fabulous layout (not mine) using that kit, click HERE.

I look at stuff like this and say to myself - I have so much yet to learn!
