Welcome to the Posts from Your Archives, where bloggers put their trust in me. In this series, I dive into a blogger’s archives and select four posts to share here to my audience.
If you would like to know how it works here is the original post: https://smorgasbordinvitation.wordpress.com/2019/04/28/smorgasbord-posts-from-your-archives-newseries-pot-luck-and-do-you-trust-me/
This is the fourth post from the archives of Susanne Swanson that I have chosen.. you will find plenty to browse if you head over. Cats in particular are the muses in her household and they have some wonderful adventures. And today finally.. we have her lovely cats….
Cats Seeking Shelter in the Rainy Northwest and Baseball by Susanne Swanson
After a bizarre winter in the Great Northwest – featuring summer temperatures and record-breaking snowfall – we have now settled into a typical rainy spring. The garden is loving it and new plants are being thoroughly watered in.
Cats seek shelter wherever they can find it, if they are willing to go out at all.
When inside at least they have good baseball to watch as the Seattle Mariners are off to an amazing start, the best in all of baseball, a surprise to all those who predict such things.
Tiger watches attentively while Benji is more distracted,
and hushed by his older brother.

About Susanne
Hello! This is Susanne. After years of working in accounting and technology where rules are clear and numbers add up, I decided to explore the other side where roads are meant to be traveled, memories unfurl slowly and cats have been known to talk.
In my blog you will meet my two favorite felines, Tiger and Benji, and see pictures and stories from my travels, especially in the Pacific Northwest where I live. Add in my garden, some rain (lots of rain it turns out), a few sunsets and reflections on life, and you have an idea of where we are headed. I hope you come along for the ride.

Reblogged this on Cats and Trails and Garden Tales and commented:
Sally has selected another post from my archives, this one not so long ago when the Seattle Mariners had the best record in all of baseball. Alas, after an amazing slide they are now at the bottom of the West where they seem to be more comfortable. Tiger has been more forgiving than I but we still sometimes watch. 😉

Love this post, Susanne and Sally! If only my young dog Juniper would watch baseball with me. She has no patience for a a long game – particularly at night when she is most full of energy. She does seem to enjoy tennis though. The ball moves a bit faster 🙂

Ha! I never catch ping-pong on TV (may try youtube). I will have a chance to see how she does with a real live ping pong game in July when I head to Texas to see my family and housesit. I do believe Juniper will just try to steal the ping pong ball though. She may even jump on the table!

So funny – thanks for the link! I’ll screen it for Juniper later.
When I was 19 and my sister was 20, we moved into a rental home with my 1-year old mutt dog Butch, who up until that point was not allowed on furniture other than my bed. My sister instilled lots of new habits, and Butch began to feel welcome everywhere. We did not have a dining table, rather a ping-pong table in our huge dining room. Butch liked to lay on top of it, presumably because it was cool. Thankfully he did not interfere with our games, particularly beer pong. 🙂
