Has it really been over a year since I wrote?!

Meow! Wow!

It's been over a year since I wrote- well, what can I say, writing doesn't come as easily to cats as it does to humans. But, on that note, I am writing because A LOT has happened in my life. Some great things and some disastrous things!

My Auntie had a baby- Dillan Romeo Carrick and he is the cutest thing. I like to sit in the door way of his bedroom and watch over him.

My cousin- Dillan!



The disastrous news- My Grandmother adopted a cat. I can't stand her.

More later- thinking of that cat is making me gag and I need to cough up a hairball.

NEW BLOG

Happy 2010! I know I haven't been keeping up with my blog- much to the disappointment of thousands! I plan on updating more often. Have a good day and lots of Salmon!

Merry Christmas 2009

Merry Christmas!

My First Annual Christmas Letter

It’s been a long time since I’ve updated my site, but at Christmas time, it is important to reach out to those you care about and who filled your life with love, affection and Salmon!

This past year has been filled with it’s ups and downs- I was glad to find out my heart murmur hasn’t changed- I don’t need any meds- so that is one very positive “up”.
A change over the past year has been my food- I now get a nutritional powder mixed in my food with a little water and Salmon if we have it- but the best part is that it is warmed up! I love it and gobble it up.

We finally got our Christmas tree! It is a beautiful Douglas Fir- I love to sit under it and sit among the presents. I have gotten into the holiday spirit and got a bag full of toys to donate to other cats in need. I was once a stray with nothing and no one, so I have a soft spot for homeless cats.

I am wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and a very happy New Year!
God Bless Us, Every One- and Every Paw!!!

Happy Birthday, Harley!

To my Best Friend, and Brother: Happy Birthday, Harley! I love you! Geez, I remember when you were just a little puppy chasing me around and now you are a dog- who is bigger than me! I hope your birthday is filled with Blueberry Muffins!
P.S. I still have another post for you... I just need to type it up

It's Thursday...

So that means Hercules is coming over... I hope he doesn't try to bark at me to play with him... again.

It's such a nice day. I think I'll relax. I'm working on a new post, so expect some longer ones soon! In the meantime, here are some new pictures... my Mom is seriously thinking about investing in a new camera because her cell phone pictures are not turning out good...

Here I am sitting "outside" (in-closed patio)

Looking outside. We use to have a tree in front of this window, but it died =(

My Mom kept trying to get me to pose, so I went for the serious look

I was making sure Hercules wasn't trying to come out

Relaxing...
