I Learned Something New!

My good furriend, Daisy the Curly Cat, taught me a furry important thing. It doesn't count as a fib, if you cross your paws. (I cross my paws a lot.)

I also think her Momma might be a fairy. She looks like one in the picher on Daisy's blog. I know they wear fowlers in their hair. Patches told me she looks like one of them she saw in the woods at the purrday party we had.

Flower Friday

Taken in late August

This was taken last year. It shows the porch, the way it was before my husband built the new one out of logs from the Big Piney Woods. He made it bigger, also, and now I have a wonderful place to hang my plants.

Fall is now upon us, the only thing left is the hanging baskets under the eaves, saved from the frosts.

Purrday Party/Gotcha Day

Please come!!!!

What: Purrday/gotcha day party for Patches, Mittens, Mistrie

Where: Big Piney Woods, by the fairy stump

When: 1:00 PST (Precious is going to be waiting by the woodshed at noon PST if you want to follow her to the fairy stump, in case you haven't been here before.)

The fairies are hosting the party. They are going to sing and dance and then sprinkle all of us with fairy dust and teach everycat how to fly! Mistrie and her bestest furriend Gree and Precious and her bestest bud Pepi already have tried it. Mittens is too scairt, so the scairty cats can hang with her (she said she will take anycat that wants to go, on a walk.) We will also play pin the tail on the mousie. (Mistrie has a real live dead mouse we can use.) Tuna cake, ice cream and milk will be served, followed by visitng. Hope you can come!!

We Are Back!!!

Hey, Squirt, Momma says we can blog again! She says probably Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Her hairball musta come up, she is feeling better. Do you know what that means? I can tell the world how naughty you are!!!

~Patches Lady~

AWARDS!!!

We have received three awards. One from The Meezers, one from Karen Jo and one from MaoMao. Oh, thank you so much!!! Now, we have to get Momma into gear to post them! She is having more stomach issues, so we are purring on her and hoping she gets better soon. We think she has a hairball!!! She says she thinks she will have to take a few more days off.

~Patches, Mittens, Mistrie, Precious~

I Win!!!

I am the boss lady of the upstairs now, and chase Patches down all the time, especially at night. Momma feels sorry for her, cuz she always slept on the bed. I stay awake most of the night, protecting my terrain and killing the blanket monsters. Momma and Daddy say they are always waking up with cat furrs in their mouth. Do you think they might get a hairball?

~Precious Flower~

Ummmmm

has anybody seen my new furless furriend, Sue? She is about my Momma's size and height. She talks real soft and carresses my toes and is so nice to me. She lives in the Mitten State and has a tuxie cat called Edsel and a fluffy cat called Casey. I think she has a man called Steven, too. Oh, and she wears these metal things that hook behind her ears. She says it is to help her see my purrty face. Have you seen her?

Hi, Mistrie Here

Hi efurrycat. I am just finishing shedding out my winter furrs and it is time to start growing my coat all ofurr again. Momma made me the nicest bed efurr in the woodshed. She used a board up on the top of the wood (3 rows back in, from the end) and then put a blanket and an old coat of my Daddy's that has fleece lining. Then Daddy stacked the wood around the front, so I am well hidden and protected. It is the best bed yet. Momma made steps with wood so I can get into it easy, and I can get into it from the other end, where the blue blanket is. She got some Revolution for me today, to keep the vermins away. She said there is a feeling of fall, but I like it cuz it is 70 and sunny. I also got some great Temptations from my best bud Gree. (In a purple package.) They are mine all mine, and Momma got me some more today. Gree sent me a heated bowl for outside! Now I don't have to worry the water will freeze. I have to go now, and play with the fairies.

See You In September

Hi:

Thanks so much for all your helpful comments on GERD and acid reflux. I switched from Prevacid to Prilosec OTC. The Prevacid, strangely, gave me heartburn, the Prilosec has seemed to cure the problem, well maybe not cured, but I have no more symptoms of nausea and I feel great.

I am going to continue on a break, until September. I have been blogging steady for 2 1/2 years, and need to take the rest of the summer off.

Here is a picture of a few of my 60 pots of flowers.

Going On A Short (I Hope) Break

I have something ongoing with my stomach (possibly acid reflux) and I have been pretty sick since Sue left. Thank goodness I was OK while she was here, but two days ago I went to the Dr. and got some Prevacid. Hoping it helps, no fun being nauseated all the time. So.......I have to take some time off, until I am feeling better.

If anyone has experience with it, I would appreciate hearing.

Waiting

I am waiting on Sue's bed. I think she is coming to cuddle on me.

Maybe she can see me now, I was hiding.

Momma just told me Sue is a long way away in the mitten state. I miss her. Maybe Edsel could teleport ofurr and we could talk and purr.

Edsel'sMom Sue

It was wonderful to meet Sue in person. She was just as I had imagined, and from the time I saw her in the airport, she seemed like an old friend. We spent hours sitting on the swing visiting, sharing our lives. It was emotional to see her go, even though we had just met (in person.) I will treasure her visit always; she is a very special lady.

This is for you Sue: BIG HUGS!!!!

~CalicoMom Toni~

Exciting Time!!!

Momma and Daddy took Edsel'sMom Sue to the Spokane airport yesterday morning. We will miss her so much (especially me.) At first I was shy, but she was so mellow and sweet and nice to me, that by the third day I claimed her and slept on the bed with her. She gives the best tummy rubs imaginable. Edsel is so lucky to have such a wonderful Momma. I know she missed him lots, cuz she told me all about him. I think he must be the most handsome mancat efurr, and the nicest, too.

Here she is giving me that special tummy rub.

There was a whirlwind of activity as her and Momma went shopping, to the parade and fireworks at the beach, and some sightseeing. Daddy went along, but not the shopping part. She efunn got to go up to Uncle Leigh's and see the Meezer twins!! They went out to supper twice and breakfast once and Sue got to meet our crazy human family on the 4th. She got to see an elk, deer (two with babies, one had twins) our 30 geese and ducks. She really loved the alpacas on a farm not far from here.

Momma says Edsel'sMom was just like she imagined, and that were laffin and laffin and laffin and talking about all you cat bloggers and how they both got started. They talked about happy things, and sad things, and I thought they must be best furriends the way they hit it off. I was awful sorry to see her leave, but I know Edsel must miss her terribly.

Well, I think I was her favorite. Patches would get her attitude going and Precious was shy, although she did warm up to her. She got to see Mistrie, but couldn't pet her.

Tomorrow Momma is going to post a couple pichers of the two of them.

BIG DAY!!!

Days left until Edsel'sMom Sue comes: 0

The big day has arrived. We will pick Sue up at the Spokane, Washington airport at 12:16 P. M. PST. There won't be any posts until next Tuesday. Sue is staying until Monday. Oh, I can't wait to see her!

Happy 4th of July to everyone!!!

Watching and Waiting

Days left until Edsel'sMom Sue comes: 1

I am waiting on Sue's bed for her. She gave Momma the little calico that is next to me, afore Momma had her i-surjury. She is so nice, she doesn't bop me on the head.
