Good Meowning Furriends

Kitties!! This is very much appropriate for Robin, our Tortie who flew away to the Bridge at age 16 in the late 90's.  She brought her gifts, stove ready, into the house if we were careless enough to just open the door without looking at her when she knocked on the window.  (And, she truly did knock.  Her meows were muffled because of the supper gift that she was bringing home.) 

 


Believe me...we have had years of loving beneficent hunting on our behalf including snakes, rabbits, chippies, squirrels, birdies, again with the snakes,  rats, and mice.  The field mice variety.  Robin was the last indoor-outdoor girl we had, so it was she who took care of us.  For a 7 pound Tortie, that girl was fierce.  Dogs who came into the yard to forage in our trash learned a painful lesson.  Our house and grounds were HER house and grounds and NO trespassing.

Happy Day!

Kitties!  My favorite brother is coming to see me today.  He will stay till Sunday morning and then, go to my other favorite brother's home (where my Client is), and the two of them, the brothers, will have an entire week together on a brother-time vacation. 

For me, I have been having bowel movements on my own.  I haven't had to have a laxative in several weeks.  That is always subject to change-- so Mom has not put it away.   I am still eating well.  I little more fussy than usual, but I am eating.  

We can't wait for Brother to get here.  Said he had a Dr. appt. before leaving so I imagine when all is said and done, he won't get here till 4.   Mom made him a glazed lemon bar cake and that thing is so extremely moist it's as though it was wet.  It isn't underbaked.  The top is lightly browned and mom cut off an end piece (of course) and OH!  MY!! LAND!! it was so good she wanted it to be a headline in the local paper.  I'd make her post a pic of it but it isn't made to look pretty and it doesn't, but oh!  How moist.  How lemony she said.  Brother will LOVE it.  It's like you could wring it out, it's so intenselt moist.  (all the butter I would say.)

The table is already set for tonight.  NY Strip steak, seasoned, mashed potatoes and them there flat green beans.  Mom and I never remember their name.  And some berry cranberry sauce too.  

Mom said she has to stop here, as she needs some eggs.  Her gets the extra large.  And always Eggland's best. Me, I am dozing under the chair in the spare bedroom. But I can send out my blog thoughts on the airways.  Mom is an expert at picking up my thought waves.  


Look what those beastly Carpenter bees did to my deck!

 I missed World Bee Day on May the 20th.  I wish I hadn't as Mom loves those critters.  She goes looking for them every summer.  She isn't finding as many as she did.  That could be just one of those things.  But I have this to share with you.  Just got it from one of my favorite brothers!  You'll need to biggafy it. 


And Mommy took this with the Nikon in the arboretum for us in celebration too.

Time to Eat

My Client's Mom was here with him  (my Client) the other day,  and she caught Mom standing there watching me enjoy my food.  Mom took a picture of her daughter-in-law holding my food plate.

Feed Me NOW


Had this Garfield one for awhile and I still love it.  Oldie but goodie.  



And Looky!  I was among the five firsties arriving at Ding Dong School yesterday.  Me and the other five kitties won the awardie. Wanna see?



Our school serves us wonderful breakfasts and all we can eat.  For me, thatsalot.

Delicious Bundle of Paws and Beans (and 'Stache)

 Kitties!  Mom is showing me off again!  This was the night before last.  I got to go to the beauty parlor yesterday afternoon for a mani-pedi.  You can see my thumb claw there before and it doesn't look too bad but boy the other ones were extreme.   

Mom stopped by my recliner and was about to smooch the furs off me when she decided to take a picture instead.  I say, "GOOD!"

I gots toe hawks! 

Here is a friend of mine but not Mom's friend.  She has HBO words when she sees him.  He ate the birds out of house and home and he has driven the hummingbirds away...he and his family.  Mom hasn't been able to hang the hummingbird feeder for the first time in many many years.  The squirrels wrecked the feeders trying and succeeding in drinking from it...broke the feeders, one after the other and scared the hummingbirds away.  Mom just gave up.  Squirrels have ruined all bird feeding here at my house and ruined Mom's container garden over and over. 

#*%@$!

Mom said enuff with me now.  She hasta go clean.

A Puzzle of a Different Type.

 Mom took off like a big bird to go up to the track and show how much she could sweat I guess, because that's sure how she came home.  

Coming home she saved a turtle who was trying to cross a street.  He had stopped a third of the way across the oncoming lane.  Mom said she went farther down to turn around and came back to assist him.  She said when she got right up to him--he took off like a racehorse for pity sake.  But as traffic was stopped in the other direction when people saw what she was doing...she picked the feller up and took him to the other side...and she said to him:   TOLL FREE!  (I would have charged him some treats~)

Here is a puzzle for you.  Can you "Untangle the Tuxie?"


This same Tuxie made its rounds and got other business taken care of after Mom solved the puzzle. 

Pardon my droop
On their way to the bedroom

We were having a business discussion.  After smoking my cigar, I'm afraid I fell asleep.

Tuxie Time

 Kitties!  Suddenly, and just in the blink of an eye came the hots and humids, railroading right into us here in my town.  Whew.  Mom went out to get some fruit- and some food for me-a few other things.   She sure felt the humidity though the temperature is 83, it feels worse she said. she was thinking about sitting at the little bistro table she has on the deck and changed her mind.  

This is me:

I don't give a care in the world about the weather out there! 

This next, below,  is something mom found on FB several times and it always made her laugh.  Because it is SO true.  That's her alright.

This look just nailed it! 

Mom is gonna brush me and then, prance around here in my room.  Sheesh!  Hate when she does that.  The MAC is in here.  I ought to make her move it!

Peekaboo!  I don't see you!


I wasn't hiding.  I was taking a nap. 

 However, here I am.

The clock says it's after 7 pm  I think, so I was warming up mom's pillow for later when we went to bed. 

Did I show you a new cup mom was given?

Who's THIS?
