Lub Muffin: We’re a week late,

but Mom wanted me to report on the recent eclipse.

Here in Texas, we got full eclipse totality

and it was amazing!

We had the local news on because it was a little cloudy

and we didn’t want to miss anything.

At the giraffe and ostrich enclosure at the zoo,

as soon as the eclipse started,

they ran in circles.

At the giant tortoise enclosure,

all of them started moving in one direction,

like they were migrating.

Here at home all the birds

in the neighborhood started singing

… it was strange.

For us kitties, we started clustering around the Mom

and she petted and talked nice to us so we calmed down.

Once we reached totality, it was DARK outside!

The porch light came on.

Mom went out to see if the cloud cover was gone and it was

– so she got to see it.

When she came back inside Simon started crying.

She picked him up and petted him until he calmed down.

Then when the sun returned

he went and sat with little Dulce.

All in all it was an amazing and strange experience.

And that’s it for the eclipse and critter report.

This is your furry reporter Lub Muffin signing off!

Tigger: Mom went for a walk around the building she is working in.

She took pics of the Agave there.

There were Texas Bluebonnets in bloom,

but she just captured the Agaves.

We don’t know why.

It bothered me that she didn’t have our State flower pic,

so I nagged her until she gave in.

Thanks Mom!
