Thanksgiving Thoughts

We had Thanksgiving @my folks this year and the kittehs came along. They immediately went under their couch and napped until we were done eating, then they got a 'special' dinner of wet food mixed w/pumpkin and pieces of turkey. Gramy & Grampy love their visits :) But this year we are most thankful for not having lost a family pet, which happened the last 3 years AT Thanksgiving. Below are the furbabies who are no longer w/us.

Sassy, my folk's dog of 11+ years ventured to the Rainbow Ridge last Thanksgiving '08. She was the best dog they could ever ask for and is STILL deeply missed...

Spike, my sister's cat of 17 years crossed over to the Rainbow Ridge Thanksgiving '07. She was a cantankerous kitty but still loyal only to my sister, she won hearts just cuz she was SPIKE....

And my beloved Max of 10+ years left my life but not my heart Thanksgiving '06. He was my best friend, roomie, child, confident, and just over all love of my life. There will NEVER be another like him, he was the most unique cat... (he is pictured top and bottom is his dad who was a champion show cat) His papers may have said Mr Maxemillion Fu Man Chu but he will ALWAYS be my 'iddle man'. **Note-all of these beloved pets are STILL in all our homes as we keep them close in cherished urns**

Mom here, HAVE to mention I had to tether that to the wall because they toppled it over @least twice and it weighs like a hundred lbs...like presswood. It WAS a good deal though and Maizee sure can conquer it, but Murf still wont bite (think he's shell shocked from the topplings) even though he DID climb all over before when it was stored in the cedar closet until I found a place for it. It needs some stapling around the holes and what not, but it serves its purpose as that is where ONLY Maizee will sharpen her claws.

It's only 52 right now even though the sun has come out...26 tomor nite. That has meant few sightings of the Maine's, as they hunker down somewhere warm & out of sight. Speaking of hunkering down, I got some new sheets (1000 thread count 100% Egyptian cotton for $34) and washed & put them on my bed along with a clean comforter>>>keep in mind I rarely 'fully' make my bed ea day. So I went about my business and when bedtime came, look who had beat me to it LOL! They were taking advantage of the rarity of mom's clean & made bed...just snoozing away. See, they really DO 'kick it' 2gether...AWWW!

Weeee are redy to start blawging

Ok here we go, our first live blog as the kittehs finally gave me consent to make public their ever so private lives. Today was a trip to the groomers for a PETicure...trimming of the claws, or tallons for you brits. This of course involved the bringing out of the carriers, something which must be done w/the kittehs not seeing...and in the blink of an eye they are in and off for a short ride (literally as the groomer is right around the corner). Then they come home, are set free and destress....


What's this? A kitteh has crawled back into their carrier, it's Maizee...she is so carefree she has forgotten what that carrier meant a couple hours ago ;)

Murf is here w/me chillin on top of the desk while I tackle this new blogging thing. "HEY MURF, DONT YA LOVE GOING FOR PETICURES?"

"Are yoo sereous??!!!!"
