You Will NEVER Guess!

Kitties!  Guess what happened?  Mom came back from a long time with Pickles and Romeo yesterday.  

Pickles

She pulled in her driveway and heard her name being called several times.  She looked around and it was the neighbor next door.  He and his wife raised small chickens from babies.  Chickens are small but grown now.  He asked what Mom was doing on the weekend and mom said Brovver coming home, birfday stuff, so on ,but he asked if she would let the chickens out for 4 days and each night for 4 consecutive nights go over, shut their coop doors... and in other words, put them up for the night.  & Change their water.  Sunday they, he and wife and daughter return from a camping trip.  Really bad timing for me, I really didn't want to,  but I said OK.  A man friend he works with couldn't.  So, I have to wrangle two cats two times a day and now I am a chicken wrangler.   I'm not charging for anything from either household.  

Here they are eating in bed .  I'll do anything to get them to eat. 

Had to take the car by and see about 4 new tires,  These are 6 yrs, old.  Dry rot started. $$$$$ with the extra stuffs being done..tie rods, whatever that is, (inspection) alignment, several other things...they gave me a courtesy car.  They'll order and get it done in the morning.  

I'm off to breech the plain and wrassle the boys now.  Byy.  

 

A Blep, If You Please...

 Kitties!  Mom's on a tear  with sleep pictures I guess.  Last year, she saw me sound asleep up on the back of the couch, my favorite place by my favorite window soaking in my favorite sunpuddle.  I had just gotten started really well there when she glanced over and saw the beginnings of my pink tongue.  Well...ring the church bells~!  Blow available horns...shake the cow bells,LOUDLY and shout Huzzah!  My widdle tongue.  The wee smallest tip. My monocle slipped down.  When my eyes are closed like that, I'm not responsible for my monocle.

Mom will see her ginger charges this late afternoon.  Their dad texted and said he would feed them in the morning as he had to see a nurse at the house this morning.  Not for him.  I guess maybe to ask questions. Don't know.   So they got to lay on him for several hours.  They've been longing to do that. 

Brovver will be here Thursday.  Ready for his arrival.  He is coming home for mom's  Friday bday late Thursday after school.  They'll all go out to eat at a favorite place Friday, and then go to the other brovver's home right after for cake and a few prezzies.  One of mom's colleagues is hoping to join with them at the restaurant and maybe the house later.  She is like a member of the family to all of us. 

ERin mentioned my white pumps that I had to go with my well fittingTuxedo yesterday...and I don't think I have seen Mom laugh and enjoy a remark like that. I liked it too.  That was a compliment on my sense of style!  Much appreciated.  Mom's style is way too casual to advise me and...her dress preferences are not formal, as mine are!  BUT, I love her.  She's my mommy. 

Bathing Beauty

Gettin' reddy to knock 'em ded.  Note my languorous eyes...

Kitties!  Mom found this from probably 6 or so years ago of me bathing.  A girl just never gets any privacy around here.  No matter where I bathe, Mom finds me sooner than later.  I always hope my Mancats liked the pictures.   I have a little iPad that Mom let me have some time ago.  I have kept it up well (she has, truth be told) and I can still use it.  I get some messages from furriends out there.  But in the past five years, I have not used it very much because  Kat and I were busy with our dates and planning them.  I think when he looked at my half mustache and my monocle, he forgot that I was older than he.  We had some fun double dates with Precious and Rocky.  Precious could dance faster than me but I would try to bat my eyes to help Kat not to notice that.  (Precious is a lot younger than I was.) 

Brovver is coming home Thursday night about 10PM.  Big day Friday, and Saturday too.  Mommy said no baby sitting Friday, the little one's Dad will need to come home... but she will try getting brovver to come along with her when she baby sits Saturday both times. She'll fly herself over there early to feed the boys Sunday, before Brother leaves. 

One More Time ;-)

 Here's  my step -kitties!  They both came out this morning to eat.  Here's Pickles!  Romeo was in the kitchen having breakfast.  Pickles was first out there.  Pickles has about 5 mats around his face and neck.  I asked his Dad to have the Vet's office shave those next time.  Poor guy but there isn't anyone around much to brush. Just me. 

Brushing Pickles.  Romeo says no. 

Pickles on their bed.  Romeo too.

Scritchies R Us. 

Pickles: "Here she comes again!!!

OK.  Scratch my necky,

My Fur Charges

 Kitties!  Mom said she doesn't know just how long the baby sitting will last.  He knows there will be times when it is impossible for mom to meet twice a day getting there--- but maybe only once in the day and he'll need to go home  for the kitties those days.  This will go on until he is confident that the mom can press the button to summon a nurse.  

Here are Mom's charges.  These aren't good pics.  Best Mom could get though. 

Pickles, a boy.

Romeo, not wanting to be photographed.

Me!!  The crochet-er got my mustache on wrong, but oh well! 

Baby Sitting

 Kitties!  

Mom is baby sitting for two precious babies of dear friends.  The house is not occupied except by them for most  of the day because the kittie's mama is very very sick in the hospital and their Daddy stays there with her all night and some of the day.  Mom offered to baby sit or that she would call all of the various Vet offices and see if there was a Vet tech willing to baby sit.  Mom was told they would be very happy to have her.  The babies names are Romeo and Pickles.  Romeo is a Ginger and Pickles is a long hair but similar. in color with some creamy white added.

Mom took a human brush unused for them because all they have are 2 slickers.  Mom said to her, that isn't as useful as a real brush.  Pickles loved being brushed yesterday but didn't come out this morning.  Romeo did.    

Mom will try to take a pic of Romeo at least.  Hoping Pickles will please come out when she goes back this evening to put out their supper.  

She is gonna call her CPA now.  No one answered this morning.  Oh Mom said she put the little crocheted me into the bedroom up where Admiral and I are.  The sunflower stand will remain where it is.

Oh and Katie was taken in Spirit along  with Misty May to the Lost Sea today.  She had mentioned that a few months ago as somewhere Stinky and Periwinkle might want to go.  That was so sweet of them to do that. 

One of Mom's zillion roses

We have had her for a good 30 years! 

Mommy Did It!!! Not Me!!

 Kitties, Woofies, especially Ruby!  I made Mom go to help Admiral out over at her place a while ago, and there were comments waiting for moderation!  What did she do?  Let me tell you what she did!!!  Instead of hitting the publish icon, she quickly cruised thru hitting delete  instead

for all three comments. How on the name of common sense can she have DONE that!  But she did.  John, Ruby and Cecilia's comments went upward to Heaven and I saw them flying by!   MOM deleted them.  She did!  If I was there, I swear I'd swipe her with my paw! Doofus never paid proper attention to the icons she was hitting.  Well, who's sorry now?  That would be me!! (her too.) 

She was a bit bizzy this morning and here is one thing she did.  She took my favorite resting place, this sunflower stand which I loved, put the crocheted me on top as I would have been if I was still there.  She took the stained glass out of the spare room and brought it into MY room...and she rested it on the window sill.  

Wanna see?  

Not the same without me, that's for sure.  That's where my tree was.  It was worn very badly so mom let it go.  If it becomes necessary, she'd get another one.
