Had to do a double take because I think I already adopted this dog 12 years ago 👀👯

Louie has gotten braver & is exploring more of the house. He was mystified by the freezer when I opened it, so I took a couple things out for him to smell. He was not impressed. The lamp is also confounding. He keeps poking his nose over the top of the shade to inspect it. 🔎🐈‍⬛

When I plan crafty projects, I take pics I can reference to get missing supplies without pulling everything out again. 1=fabric for a puff quilt 2=yarn for a crochet blanket 3=fabric I acquired yesterday because LOOK AT IT!!! Haven't even *started* the first 2 projects. Is it 80HD? Crafter brain?🧵1

The neighborhood kids came to visit Louie outside the sewers for the first time & brought him this toy with pickles in santa hats. He loves it! 🐈💥🥒🎅✨

It's been a month of Louie & I recently noticed the voice I use to talk to him in is The Thickest Minnesotan Accent — like I'm telling the Lena part of an Ole & Lena joke. BUT WHY?! And it's different from the voice I've always talked to my dog of 12+ years in. What is happening in my subconscious?!

Any moots in the Cities/south metro need any dahlia tubers? Got the first half dug today & have several each of shadow cat, cafe au lait, totally tangerine, & clearview debby. ✨🧑🏼‍🌾🪏🌱

If only the word had a definition you could look up & confirm before being wrong on the Internet 🤔

3 weeks of Caturday & 👑 Sir Louie is letting his inner 😈 Sewer Louie out more
October 27, 2025 at 12:14 AM
Sir Louie was still living in the sewers 3 weeks ago. Now he loves being tucked under the covers like a kitty burrito while he falls asleep. 😻

Sir Louie loves autumn. 🖤

[it's official: every day is caturday]

My first caturday! I don't think Sewer Louie misses the sewers too much. 🥹🥰

You can always hold out for the Cat Distribution System! I was not a believer until a kitty showed up in the sewers in my neighborhood & won over the whole fam. He moved in the other day. 🥹

Y'ALL. Pickle was found, got a clean bill of health at the vet, got updated vaccines & a microchip, and in an unexpected turn of events, came home with me. 🖤

Unfortunate update in the Pickle/Ozzy saga: his owner is still in the hospital & his friend who had kitty let us know he escaped. 😭 If you live near Burnsville Parkway and CR5, keep an eye out for this very sweet kitty!!! He loves pets & is very loved. 🖤 See markings in pics & alt text.

I have an excessive amount of creative hobbies & rarely share projects because I'm not an ✨artist✨, but making these brought me so much joy! Onesies made with flowers from my garden, a broken CD sun catcher, funky garden art made with our casted hands, & a crocheted sweater. More info in alt text. 🖤

I'm proud I caught Pickle/Ozzy before winter & am thrilled for his owner. I won't be able to forget him since he branded me for life with a cat bite scar, but I already miss his purrs & petting him every day. He brought the neighborhood together & what a joy it was. 🖤 #catrescue
September 25, 2025 at 3:57 PM
Y'all. I finally caught him! The treats were too yummy to resist & with no kennel or carrier in sight, no ill-timed dogs barks, & 2 weeks of built up trust, it wasn't even hard. I felt awful betraying his trust, but OZZY will be getting checked out & reuniting with his hospitalized owner soon. 🥹

Pickle has been extra skittish & mostly wants pets through the sewer drain. Neighbors saw 2 different cars pull up & try to catch him. Another neighbor thinks they may have found his owner. I think I've gotten a little too attached. Though I'm thrilled for his (probable) owner, I'm sad too. 🥹

Pickle hit some tendons in my hand & I couldn't use it at all the first day. It swelled up a lot, so thank goodness for antibiotics & a tetanus booster! He's still living in the sewer, but when I called down the grate, he came running for pets. Just the sweetest boy. Hope we can catch him soon.🤞🏻

I nearly caught Mister Pickle! If it weren't for the WORST-timed, shrill ass dog bark, I would've easily gotten him into a carrier... and also not gotten bit. I was worried I'd traumatized him, but he didn't run far & cautiously watched me leave. 🥹 I'm bandaged & on antibiotics now. Ugh.

Y'all. 🥹

Introducing (depending on who you ask) Sewer Cat, Drain Cat, or my own moniker, Pickle (which is what the gentlefeline is in). 🥒🐱🖤
September 18, 2025 at 12:17 AM
Yes! I've seen so many lately!

... September gently rouses us. We must put the pot on to boil, gather vegetables, sweep the porch.

Oh, summer's a splashy, kaleidoscope dream, but it's nice to arrive on solid ground again."
