Zeus update.....

Zeus has come home for the last time as far as I am concerned. He is not a happy cat when he is not here at the store so I don't plan to try to adopt him out again. This is his home and this is where he is happiest so here he stays. To me it is just too much like rejection to have someone take him and then bring him back. He may not think so but I do and I don't want to upset him. :)

He won't even be going home with me on weekends anymore. I'll just come in a time or two each day and spend some time with him. He is usually such a loving cat and always wants to be on my lap or near to me. When I had him at home in my embroidery shop he would not sit on my lap when I would go out to spend time with him. He would jump up on my lap, meow loudly, and then jump down and get in his carrier and look at me as if to say, "Are we going back to the store/my home now?"

He is doing ok being left out to have free roam of the store. He doesn't tear things up or potty in the floor, things he did before he was neutered. I try to keep a few toys that I only give to him of an evening when we are closing. That way they are new and interesting to him.

I have been making bandanas to sell in the store and yesterday I decided to put one on Zeus. It is a red/white/blue fabric and it looks so cute on him. He doesn't seem to mind it either.

I had to take him to the vet yesterday. He had really crusty yucky ears. I never gave a thought to ear mites as I had had a white cat years ago that had the same looking ears and the vet checked her for ear mites and it was only dirt. When Zeus began shaking his head and digging at his ears I decided it was time to take him and have them checked out. He did have ear mites, they put meds in and he is ok now.

They all thought he looked so cute with his little bandana on. What do you think?

The Zeus Man

Zeus says, " Come to the store and see me. I love people."
This cat is really a people cat. He loves to see people come into the shop. He is afraid of no one and seems to have never met a stranger, just a friend that he has not met yet. LOL

Just For Paws Part 2

I have some added (may I say unneeded) help on my chair. Zeus, the deaf store cat, is sitting on the back of the chair as I perch on the front of it. He is "helping" Mom. Well, in a way he is, as long as he is there I know he is not off committing mischief, which he is well known for, bless his sweet little heart. LOL


Most of these pictures are back in the kitchen area. It is small but adequate at the present time. If we need to in the future we can knock out a wall and expand the kitchen without too much trouble. But that is later. We are all sick and tired of renovations right now. We are struggling just to finish up the projects that were not finished before we opened.

This is our fantastic oven (that we bought secondhand and got a fabulous deal on) and our brand new microwave oven that also grills.

This is our work area where the magic begins. This L shaped table is really great as M and I can stand on either side and cut out the treats. Makes things go faster.

Back to the front now. This is the front counter which I think was also in the last post. The wall hanging was made by a friend of ours for my DIL. You can't tell it in the picture but some of the prints have dog paws on them. It is really adorable.


A look out the front window. I wish I had thought to take pictures while we were still decorated for Christmas but alas, I did not. Maybe next year.

When we took all the Christmas decorations down it looked so bare in the store. We want to find some kind of lights to hang around the windows. They are so big and look so plain. The outside is ok since we have an OPEN banner and the American flag on either side of the door.

This is the computer area, which is my domain totally. Well, I share it with Zeus. He is the white blob on top of the printer. Before y'all tell me, I know that that is hard on a printer. Now if only you would tell Zeus.

The web page is still a work in progress. I hope he gets it done quickly. We really need to get it up and running. I'll keep you apprized of it.

That is all for now.

Have a good one.......
