Spring has sprung

I live in Florida so Spring sprung a while ago.  Yeah, we had some cold days but now it is hot from now on! 

Mom got us a new air conditioner.  It works good.  Mom needs it cause the barkers, Cinco and I give Mom hot flashies at night. 

he is kind of hot, don't ya think?????

Mom took another doggie to the emergency vet a week ago.  Dyson jumped off the damned couch and landed wrong and hurt his back right leg.  When Hoover hurt his leg, it was the same one (on him silly).

He didn't break it but Mom was scared he did.  It was ruff for all of us. 

See, he is feeling better.  He and Hermie had a discussion today.  It doesn't look so deep to me. 

Mom says I need to write more in my blog.  I've been lazy.  I'll try....

Now I must rest.  I am sooooooooooooooo tired.

My New SSSSSSSisssssster

KIDDING!!!!  Mom did not add another to the zoo.  But.  Someone came visiting last night very late. 

We were all asleep.  So nice.  And then Mom woke up to a noise.  Dyson also woke up and was barking.  Mom figured out where the sound was coming from.  It was in the bathroom next to the bedroom.  Mom was not excited.  She knew she had to look out the window.  Something was making noise.   Mom looked out the window.  It was dark and she didn't see anything.  Then.  THEN mom looked again.  And saw this

Want to know what Mom did when she saw it?  She jumped and went 'aaaaaa'.  Then she got her camera to take a few pictures.  Snake did leave when Mom bothered him enough by tapping on the window.

yeah.....that was freaky.  I tried to help Mom feel better after it was all over.  but it still took her 2 hours before she calmed down.

Madame Louie (aka Heathen numero uno) didn't sssssssssssseeeeee that coming.  doofus

Mom rearranged closets again.  Winter clothes were moved back to the other bedroom and summer clothes are back out.  And she also put a bunch of clothes into plastic bags to give to Goodwill. 

We are all doing good.   I'm doing my best to make sure that Mom is happy.  I think it is my job to make her happy.  it is HARD!!!!!!

I must rest now.  I hope I don't dream of slithering things!

Happy Annifurrsary to ME!!!!!!

Today is a very important day.  Five years ago I rescued Andi from her life of boredom.  I know...she needed me BAD!    OK, I needed her too but I had no idea that I needed her.  I wanted to die that day, 5 years ago.  My life sucked.  I was sick and very tired and no one loved me.  And then Andi came along.  She said 'Hi kitty' and my life changed forever. 

Today she is my best friend.  I love Andi, she is a good human.  I snuggle her every night at bedtime.  I get good food.  I have a warm, safe house.  No one yells at me, tells me to go away. 

Yes, I do have to deal with heathens.  But the human we call 'Mom' makes them stop. 

yes, I looked pretty rough when I got here.  But I was a street kitty.  I was a young mom with no kittens in sight.  And I was very sick. 

In a few weeks I was feeling better

And soon I was meeting the boy kitty, Bob.  I miss Bob. 

And the doggie in the house, Wraggs.  She was a great sister!

Life was good.  Then this happened

Life again, was no longer going to be the same.

A few weeks after THOSE arrived, Bob went to the rainbow bridge.  Mom was very upset.  More stuff happened to Mom (she got her heart hurt). 

And then a year passed....Mom was hurt more.  We kitties and the doggie did our best to make her feel better

And then we added this to the house

Another boy. 

And then much sadness occurred.  My dog sister Wraggs went to the rainbow bridge to be with Bob. 

We were all really sad.  But we kept going.

Mom was home a lot with us, we liked it.  But then Mom went back to work. 

And then....THIS occurred.

Two DOGS!!! And they are boys!!!!

That was ok.....they weren't mean to me.

Another year goes by and we get THIS!!!!

I'm in love again.  And I'm a COUGAR!!!!

As I move into year 6 with Andi, I'm sure it will be filled with much love from Andi and the other members of the family.  And those who love mom that are humans. 

I am so thankful for that day, February 16, 2008, when I rescued Mom. 

Now I must get my rest.  This writing is very tiring when you can't type!!!!!

Yes, yes, I am alive

I've been rather lax about posting.  Mom has to help me and she is really tired when she gets home from that place she goes.  Mom's not quite so unhappy right now.  I'm not sure why but she seems to be happier.  Us furkids like when Mom is happier. 

Dyson and I were just on the bed together.  We didn't do anything.  yewwwwwwwwwww

Oh yea, me and Louie  NOTHING HAPPENED!!!!

Me and Cinco.  sigh......yes, I am a cougar. 


oooo, the wind just picked up big time.  We have storms blowing thru here.  It is a good thing that I live inside where it is safe and warm. 

Meowing of that, Saturday February 16th is a pretty important day for me.  Just sayin'!

Meow!!!!

Thankfulness

Hello.....it is our annual 'what are we thankful for' post.  I have to, again this year, let the others have their say......sigh.  sucks.  But it has to happen...so here goes

Louie

- I am thankful for amitryptiline...it makes it feel better to pee.  I am NOT thankful that Mom has to shove a pill down my throat every morning.  I sort of let her do it without scratching her TOO much.  I'm thankful for my brothers and gorgeous Ellie.  I'm even thankful for Mom.....

Hermie - 

What am I thankful for???? I'm so glad to have Mom.  She even took me to the mean doctor lady cause she thought I was losing weight, well, I was.  I'm thankful I am not sick.  I'm thankful for kibbles, gooshy foods and snacks!!! 

Robin -

I'm thankful to still have a good home.  A Mom who loves me even though I am quirky.  My brothers, Hermie and Louie (the doofus) and not so thankful for Cinco.  Overall, I am am just happy to have a good home

Cinco -
Hi hi hi hi!!!  I am so happy to have a home, very thankful that the nice lady called 'Mom' took me in and made sure I was safe and have food and warm place to sleep.  I'm thankful I get to snuggle Mom at night and sleep with her and Ellie.  It is the BESTEST ever, way better than chasing after lizards and trying to survive on my own.

Hoover -

What am I thankful for?  Miss Brenda and her friends.  They rescued me and my kid from the streets of Savannah.  Miss Brenda brought us to Mom where we now have the best life ever.  Mom is the best!  I even like the mean doctor lady, she gave me pills that made my back feel better. 

Dyson -
Is it my turn?????  Really??? for REAL????  OK, I am happy that Mom didn't get rid of me after the ink incident.  Or the Birkenstock debacle.  Or the sofa stuffing broohahha.  I'd talk about the others...but there are too many to talk about!!!  I'm so happy to have a safe home, mom loves me and the other furkids.  I snuggle with her every night.  and she doesn't get too pissed when I bite her in the middle of the night...and leave bruises. 

Ellie -

Well FINALLY, they all shut up.  I'm still thankful and happy to live with Andi/Mom.  This is the best place ever.  Five years ago I was on the street, going to be a kitty mama soon and no idea how to do it.  I was on my own.  No one loved me.  Now?  I am loved.  Not just by Mom but her friends too. The ones who have met in in real life and the ones who only know me from the Internet. I'm even glad for the DOGS and HEATHENS.  Even glad to have Cinco here.  Everyone makes Mom smile and I want her to smile. 

Thank you all for reading Ellie's blog.  I have many things to be thankful for too.  My friends and loved ones....you know who you are.  I'm thankful for the furkids.  I'm just thankful. 

So now that EVERYONE had their say and me too, I guess I am done for tonight.  Have a wonderful thanksgiving everyone. 

Been Busy

Sorry I've been missing for over a month.  Mom has been busy and I can't post unless she helps me.  I can't reach the pedal on the laptop to make it go VRROOOOOOM!!!

Things are better here.  We've had some sick dogs and cats. 

Hoover hurted his back so he is on lockdown when Mom isn't home.  He has to be in the crate.  He cannot go for long walks and no jumping.  He also has to take pills.  But he is feeling better now. 

Then Louie got sick.  He was having a hard time peeing and when he did it was bloody.  He got a major antibiotic to take and was a major pain to try and pill.  Mom had to SIT ON HIM to get the pill in him, if she could catch him.  He went back to the formerly mean but now nice doctor lady on Friday.  He still has a little blood but now they could see the crystals in the pee...so he will be on special food and all of us will be once Mom gets it fully integrated into the dry food regimen. 

Louie on the way to the doctor lady. 

And Mom went away for 3 whole days last week.  We were all scared that she wasn't coming back.  I was brave even.  The pet sitter got to see me and pet me and then I freaked and ran under the bed.  The sitter told Mom she was able to pet me and my eyes got REAL big......and I ran under the bed.  But she got to see me which is more than most folks ever get. 

Blech, boys and boy doggies at that!!!!

Other than that stuff, we are all doing good.  Mom is good, the doggies are good.  The kitties are good.  Tiger, who is visiting, is good.  GOOD GOOD GOOD!

Mom said she has some pictures to take.  I don't know what it means but I'm scared. 

I'm BAAAAACK!!!!

Well I finally get MY blog back.  It is about freaking damned time.

I really enjoyed to have Mom home for the last 2 weeks.  I know she isn't that thrilled to go back to work on Monday.  She knows it will be hellish. 

So while Mom has been home she has gotten a bit bored.

Mom decided she needed a new facebook picture so she brought out the live props:  Cinco and Dyson.  Yes, Cinco has his paw down Mom's top. 

Louie was not happy to have his photo take.  Don't blame him, he is a doofus!

Yes, yes, I have in a bridal veil.  I am not sure which one of the idiots I am marrying but I am sure I will be a widow shortly there after!

Ellie, be nice.....they are doofuses but they are our doofuses!

OK, I will be nice but I will NOT marry one of them.  Wait, maybe Cinco.  Or Hermie.  Am I allowed to marry BOTH of them?  Yes!!!!!!  That works for me!


Finally I will be allowed to go back to my nap.
