Veteran's Day

HAPPY VETERAN'S DAY to all the Veterans out there!

Our MIG is an OIF Veteran. He spent over 12 months in Iraq and was stationed at Ft. Hood, TX for 6 months before heading over.

In the next few months, many more of our local troops (we have an armory here) are set to leave for Afghanistan as well as Kuwait.

Thank you for your service. We appreciate all you do to keep our great country safe.

Ant Kat, thank you for your service in the Air National Guard.

it's raining, it's pouring...

For 3 straight hours now, it's been raining. We've had thunder boomies and flashy lights. All the more reason to stay curled up for a nap today.

In other news, thanks again to Parker and Zoolatry for this badge... We like to help spread awareness about Diabetes. We gots some beans in the family with it so we're proud to post this great graphic!

Collars, rain and softness

We got new collars. We haven't worn collars for a while cuz we would wake up the Little Monkey when we ran up and down the stairs playing Thundering Herd of Elephants at night. But after Jesse gotted herself locked in the Little Monkey's closet, mom decided we better get new ones. The Little monkey picked out mine-it's purple! For royalty cuz i'm KING of the jungle! ROAR!

Dazey and Jesse both have blue ones with dots.

It's raining today. Lots and lots of rain so I guess we'll just nap.

I've decided that the Little Monkey is ok. I let him pet me the other night without hissing! For a few whole minutes, it was nice. He even kissed me! This morning, I didn't run away when he got in mom's bed. he petted me and gave me loves. I hissed when I was all done though.

Oh no!

OH NO! They are cutting our squirrel watching tree! Some men are here with scary loud things and a big truck that keeps going up up up into the tree. Then branches fall down.

Where will our squirrel friends live now?????

My sister and brother are totally scaredy cats and ran upstairs. Not me, I'm brave.

I threw up on the couch today. I yakked up my lunch good.

I was giving myself a bath and urp, here it comes! It was fun to watch mom run.

She's glad there is a couch cover now.

NOT a day without cats

Some beans are saying that today there should be NO cats on the internets. What are they thinking?

Anyways, we is not going to help promote their cause. In fact

(insert picture here. Blogger is being mean!)

SO TAKE THAT BEANS WHO DON"T LIKE CATS ON THE INTERNETS. LOOK AROUND! WE BET YOU SEE LOTS AND LOTS OF CATS TODAY.

where did summer go?

Well mom says that this Monday is the "end of summer". We wonder "what summer?" We didn't get much hot this year but that's ok really!

Mom started school again. She is taking her last science class-microbiology. It's the same instructor she had for her anatomy class last spring so that's nice. She goes three days a week-Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. She was sure surprised the first day when she found out she had class on Tuesdays cuz she thought it was Fridays!

We've been hanging out in the open windows, under mom's bed, in the bathtub, in mom's closet, in the basement in our basket...anywhere the Little Monkey (who's now 3) can't get to us. He thinks we are all his friends. Nope. Sorry.

Do you every nudge your bean to get loves then put the bitey on instead? That's what me and Conner have been doing to mom lately. We think it's fun...her not so much.

Lots of things to catch up on around the blogosphere. We read lots of blogs thru Google reader so we can at least try to see what is happening. Maybe one of these days our mom will get off that Facebook thing and help us visit and leave a comment!!

Have a safe and Happy Labor Day weekend all!!

Luvs,

Dazey

Hi!

hi everyone,

we've been MIA again.

Mom's busy. She finished up her summer class (physiology with a B-!) and is gearing up to start fall semester next Wednesday. So she's been busy cleaning, playing with the Little Monkey, trying to squeeze in some summer fun...

as for us, we've just been hanging out in the basement basket or under mom's bed. The MIG is doing the 2 week army thing so he's been gone a lot and is currently in WI until tomorrow. Then next Monday he goes to St Louis. Whew, he's

busy.

We had lots of thunder booms and flashing lights last night. And lots of water pouring from the sky. It got really windy too. Mom had to shut all the windows.

I've never done this before. Mom was throwing clothes down the steps to throw down the clothes thingy that goes ALL the way to the basement. The little monkey likes to help so I thought I'd help too. Mom saw me and took this picture with her cell phone. I've never been in this space before. Mom told me she's glad I didn't fall , but if I had, at least there was a safe place to land at the bottom.

apparently I'm the only one with excitement in her life...

Well, I went to the V E T the other day. It was miserable. The Little Monkey went too and he pointed at me and tried to tell me it'd be ok. All the way there. I think it was the longest car ride EVER! I mean, it must have lasted HOURS AND HOURS! (from mom: they are doing road construction on that side of town. 10 minutes TOPS) He laughed at me, but tried to tell me it would be ok.

They weighed me in the PTU then after they had to PRY APART the PTU, they weighed it. I only weigh 12 pounds. I'm down .2 lbs from last year so that's healthy.

Why was I there to begin with? How embarassing to tell you....I have really bad breath. Like awful yucky breath. Mom's friend looked at my mouth last week (she's a V E T but she's nice) and told mom I needed to go in to have a good looking at.

I have some infection in my mouth and am on some pills to help wit the smell/infection. Once mom gets the money together, I have to go back.

FOR A WHOLE NIGHT. The V E T said I need a cleaning and probably some teeth pulled. What a bummer.

In other news, the MIG is sick. Will you purr for him? The Little Monkey has a cold too. Mom is the only one that is healthy and she says that's good, otherwise our entire world here would fall apart.

I'll keep you posted.

the PTU is out...

the PTU is out.

This is not cool. I heard Mom tell the Little Monkey that I'm going to the V E T. That is so not cool. First, I hate the PTU. I hate the car. I hate the V E T. And I especially don't like the Little Monkey going along to witness my humiliation at the stabby place.

Mom's friend (who is a stabby cat person) looked in my mouth on Sunday while she was here to celebrate mom's birthday. She said that it looked like I have some infection and pus pockets in my mouth. Probably a bad tooth too.

So, I'm being drug to the stabby place today.

I'll let you know how it goes.
