What Strombeek Does When No One's Home

She appears to be reading up on how to construct robot bases. But why? Does she hope to build robotic thumbs for opening cat food cans? Or devices with sharp edges and repetitive motion for scratching her ears?  Something loud and fast to scare the Louie? Remote controlled mice to mess with him? Traps for capturing squirrels?

Bevers Founders Estate Reserve

Strombeek is pretty sure the B must stand for Bever.


It's about time she got a reward for all the weight she's lost. Oh, except for the fact that she hasn't lost any. . .

And Strombeek Prefers. . .

In the bowl to the right is Louie's food--Nutro Turkey & Giblets. First ingredient: turkey gravy.










To the left (in front of Strombeek) is Strombeek's food--Friskies Turkey & Giblets. First ingredient: meat by-product (= race horses). The flash sort of evens out the coloring, but the Friskies has more red chunks. (Again, the race horses.)

Which will she choose?

Weight Loss Smack Down

Louie is doing his best to keep Strombeek active while she does her best to stay put on the chair.


He was whacking at her pretty good before I came along with the camera.

Fourth of July

Strombeek thinks back to another 4th of July. . .

It's Not Fair!

Strombeek seems to be staying steady at close to fifteen pounds. The only thing this diet is accomplishing is pissing her off.

Kick Back

Can one of you explain to me what happened in the backroom?!?
