Snake on Sunday

I love the rubber snake that stinky boy got for his birthday. I love it so much mommy made him give it to me. It is the only toy I let him play with me. It wiggles and wiggles and is so soft to chomp on.



Make no mistake, it was his, now it is MINE! Mine!

Freaking on Friday

Crud. I was sneezing and not eating much this week so I had to go to the stoopid VET.


lemme out lemme out lemme out!


Gonna tray chewing thru these bars

It was even worse because I had to go with the stinky boy. Jeez. It threw me off so bad that I only got to scratch one VET tech. I didn't even get the good gas. sigh.


See, he my be two but he is totally evil...

What? on Wednesday

What makes you think I was in the bathroom???



I don't care about your silly painting project...



Seriously...

Fun with Friends on Friday

One of the happyish (I say "ish" cause I wasn't invited) things that kept my beans busy was going to the Atlanta area to visit my aunt, uncle and cousins. While they were there, mommy got to meet the human members of the Purrageous Pirate family!



You may not know that thru a magazine called Victorian Decorating and Lifestyle, mommy and the furry Purrageous Pirate kitties mommy "met" and became pen pals. That was twelve whole years ago and this was the first time they met in person!

They got to go to tour the historic Oakland Cemetery and had a nommy lunch together. Mommy said now she knows why the area is nicknamed "Hotlanta." Wow it was hot! The sweet tea made it all worthwhile she said...that and the wonderful company.



She was so very happy meeting her dear friend Catherine in person. She still smiles and tears up every time she sees the pictures and thinks about it.

I laugh cause even tho my stinky boy is two years old, he was shorter than the Cabin Boy who is 4+ months younger! ha ha ha The Cabin Boy sure looks nice and cute. I wonder if he gives his kitties a break or if they take turns. Like tag team wrestlers.



Mommy said being at Oakland Cemetery with the 20 Union soldiers and the 2500 Confederate soldiers buried there was even more moving and emotional because they went over 4th of July weekend. We are very glad we are still one country that can celebrate freedom together (especially with grilled chicken...and salmon)!!!



Mommy will never forget meeting the human Purrageous Pirates or the fun she had in Hotlanta...and the tea...

Wow on Wednesday

Wow, it has been almost a month since I posted. That sux big time. Things have been totally crazy busy around here. I won't go into it, but needless to say if things don't slow down you might be reading about a wine shortage in the Ohio region...

On a happyish note, the stinky boy Joel turned two years old on Sunday the 10th.

I'd like to say that is a good thing, but the older (and more mobile) he gets the more annoying he gets to me. I know I'm the "bees knees" but jeez. How about a moment's peace???



He doesn't get that a hiss means "back off bub!" He thinks it is funny. Then when I pop him (closed paw of course) he cries and says "Joel sad" and then I feel like crap. Mommy and daddy have been very understanding and walled off the dining room with "baby gates" that have a pet door for me to squeeze thru. But, I don't want to spend all my time off by myself just to get a nap!

So, happy birthday you hairless monkey boy. Now let me sleep.

What?

What makes you think I want to trip you???







If I wanted to trip you I'd do it on the stairs...

Sleepin on Saturday

The bed looks totally fine to me as is. I'll hang here and you can finish making the bed later. *waves paw* Leave me now.



Things have been very interesting around here.

The gates are back up around the dining room because Joel has been harassing me so much. I get that he thinks I'm in the bees knees (I am after all) but sometimes I need a break. It used to be that I wouldn't go in a gated off room because I felt apart from things and didn't want to be "given" my territory. Now I am perfectly content to hang there until the boy settles down or goes for a nap. I'm still getting plenty of attention so it is OK.

My beans tiled and painted the kitchen and painted a bathroom and they are happy with those projects being done. All the patio tiles daddy put in 2 years ago were all screwy so he is redoing those with grout. I'm glad I'm just in the A/C while they sweat it out doing yard work.

Then my mommy has been having eye trouble for a couple months now. She thought it was allergies or dry eye or something like that. Turns out it was a bad reaction to the gas perm contacts she has worn for 25 years. She has little abrasions and a lot of irritation. She can't wear contacts for 3 weeks (then switch to soft lenses) and has to squirt steroids in her eyes.

Do you think she'll become a good baseball player now?

Now she has poison ivy all over her arms, legs and even her face! ha ha ha snort Um, I mean, it is really terrible. That is what she gets for taking a perfectly good "Joel Free" day (when he goes to a grandbean's house for an entire day) and wasting it outside doing yard work instead of hanging out in the A/C with me, petting me, giving me treats and generally putting me at the center of the universe...

I'm kinds sick of her whining so I hope it clears up soon.

Anyway, the weather here has gone from March to August so we're all sweating it out like crazy. I hope all of you are doing well and staying safe.

Memorial Day 2011

In Flanders Fields

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

John McCrae (1872-1918)



During the grill outs, pool parties and big store sales, take time to remember the reason for this day and thank the Lord for those men and women who gave the last full measure of devotion so we can sleep soundly...free.

What? On Wednesday

What kind of freaky deaky bunnies are these????



I think I know where this guy came from...



Look, that rabbit's got a vicious streak a mile wide! It's a killer!

Leash Laws, Abandonment, Water Leaks

So my bean abandoned me to go to see a six foot giant rat (the "head of an evil corporation") at the happiest place on earth (in my opinion that is a warm bed of clean laundry or having the bed to myself with a plate of stinky goodness by my side) and totally abandoned me!

Aw, so they needed a vacation. So they had a good time. Whooptie freakin do.
My lazy nasty mother didn't even leave the computer open so I could have a House Trashing party. Grrrrrrrrrr

Bast stepped in and took care of part of my revenge. When they got home there was water all over the basement. Thank Bast I don't go down there when they aren't home. I still need something else to get back at them. I just can't decide what...

I did have a nice girl come stay with me. She even stayed overnight (she didn't open up the Mancave so didn't see the water!) It was nice to get a break from the stinky boy even if I missed mommy & daddy. It was nice to have someone's undivided attention...

Now the beans having to fix that water stuff and finish other house projects (like tiling a backsplash in the kitchen, painting and finishing another bathroom). I say if they weren't such lazy butts 90% of the time they wouldn't have to work so hard all at once. Mommy actually agrees with me!

I've been pretty spoiled since they've been back. Lotsa lotsa nip nip nip and pets. Also a cool new birdie toy from a "Happy Meal." It makes me happy...



I thought my woofie friends might like to see this picture from their trip.



ha ha ha I can think of a lot of things I'd tie the little booger to if only I had thumbs....
