Jason changes the batteries in the smoke/CO alarm like clockwork when the time changes twice a year. I guess the mucking about with the timing of the changes has taken us past the life of the batteries as we were awakened at 2 AM by the peeping of the alarm wishing to be fed a new battery. After all the ruckus I was wide awake but at least I had some nice library books to keep me company.
Earlier in the week Gwen felt in the mood to pose (or maybe she was just studiously ignoring me and my camera). It can be tough to get a nice picture of a black cat that doesn’t wash out the eyes but if she sits still long enough I can eventually accomplish it.

Our smoke detectors do that peeping thing too – so annoying (important, yes, but still!) Thanks for the comments on my blog – the doorknob cover is more to just sit there and protect the wall from being banged into by the knob – it just sort of slips around. Have a good one!

My dog is the battery alarm. She apparently can hear an undetectable beeping, and runs around the house checking out all the rooms, panting, and whimpering. I just changed the batteries a couple of weeks ago because of her behavior, then a few days later she started up again. I put in generic batteries and they must have already used up all the juice. She started it again.
I hope you get some rest.

Oh that’s a bummer. Hopefully you’ll get some better sleep tonight.
Beautiful kitty pic!

Dan and I had the same thing happen to us this weekend, too! I think I changed them all now but I had to stock up with extra batteries, just in case. Lovely black kitty. I should know from black kitties…I have three.

That’s a very nice picture of Gwen. It always seem the batteries would die when DH would go on a business trip and I would be stuck trying to fiddle with it.
