Wordless Wednesday (Mostly)

Guarding two of The Mommy's most important possessions...

the Tivo remote and the Kindle ebook reader...

PS - The Mommy has a new post on her other blog with a couple of Hawaii photos, if'n you're interested...we promise we won't let her Pimp Her Blog every time she posts!

Tuesday Toysday

Among the presents we got in our Paw it Forward package from our friend Huffle Mawson was a package of 6 or 8 (The Mommy's too lazy to get off her butt and go check... ) little red catnip mousies. They've proven to be great fun!

Here's Roxy having a great time with one.




Thanks again, Huffle!

Mancat Monday

Easy Like Sunday

Taking it easy...Easy Like Sunday...

Bugsy knows how to nap right.

Roxy and Sassy can balance on top of the couch, easy peasy.

A rare truce in the battle of Pixie and Callie.

We hope you're all taking it easy today, too.

There's No Place Like Home

Yo peeps and kits and woofs!

Yes indeedy, 'tis me, the Bugster. I'm home again for the weekend from cancer v-e-t jail.

After we got home yesterday evening, The Mommy fed us some stinky goodness! Woot!

It was yummy. A nice after-birthday treat.

Then I got in some scratching on the scratcher thingy. (You can tell we liked our first one there in the background, that one got pretty well torn up, mostly from Pixie. )

And then some laptime with The Mommy.

I gotta give props to the cancer v-e-t peoples. They were very nice to me for my birthday Thursday! I got extra treats and stinky goodness, and they made me a birthday sign and a hat, and took a photo of me with the sign for my Mommy! (But look at my ears in the photo with the sign...I was there under duress! MOL) They told her I wore the hat for a few minutes, but didn't take a photo of that. But wasn't it nice of them to do all that??!

Unfortunately I had to go back to the regular v-e-t this morning for a follow-up on the bladder infection he said I had a couple of weeks ago, so that was another cage ride. Mean ol' Mommy. I showed them though, I didn't have any pee for him to take for the test! HA! But the v-e-t showed me right back...now I gotta take the pills for another week AND go back again next week to try again for the pee test. Dang it, should have had some pee for him to test me and maybe I would've been clean, and done. *Sigh*

The other bad news is, I still have to go back to the cancer v-e-t on Monday. But the good news is, I only have THREE more radiation treatments, I'll be DONE on Wednesday, and then I come home Wednesday evening! YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!! Still no signs of any side effects, and I've also been holding my weight, which is very important. The cancer v-e-t is very pleased with my progress.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have some more lap-napping to do...

Flexible Friday

We're letting The Mommy post some more of her sky photos today. We're being flexible...on a Flexible Friday.

(We encourage you to bigify the photos to see the detail better!)


This is what the sky looked like on my Wednesday morning drive to work.

I was able to get this rather neat shot of the sun's rays shining through the clouds onto the church.

And this is what the sky looked like on my Wednesday evening drive home.

This one you almost definitely need to bigify...you can see the blurry Moon on the left, but just slightly upper right from the Moon about two inches (screen width) is an itty bitty dot, it may just look like a speck of dust on your screen. That's Jupiter.

I've always enjoyed taking photos of sunsets and sunrises and cloud formations, especially when it's stormy. I'm no pro, and I don't do much in the way of processing after the fact. I just like to capture the pretty colors and the fascinating formations and combinations and share them with others. So I've just started a separate blog to post those photos on, as I don't want the Krew to begin complaining about me co-opting their blog too much.

If you're interested in seeing them, you can find the blog at Texas Wildflower. There's some pretty cool -- if I do say so myself LOL -- photos of storm clouds from last night on there now, and posts hereafter will probably be somewhat irregular. The kitties may let me post announcements here of new posts, we'll see.

Thanks for indulging me today, friends!

Happy Friday to all!

and

Happy 6th birthday!!

Today is the 6th 'birthday' (approximate) of littermates Sassy, Callie and Bugsy. Happy birthday to the eldest kitties!!

Bugsy is in cancer v-e-t jail still this week, so isn't home to celebrate. As with Roxy last month, though, we probably would wait anyway until their Gotcha Day (which is in December) for a big celebration. Maybe the v-e-t's office will sing happy birthday to him, though, and give him some extra treats. And there might just be a small celebration when he comes home this weekend anyway.

Happy 6th birthday to my oldest boy and girls!

Sassy and Callie: We wish Bugsy were here for our birthday, but he'll be home tomorrow night so we'll have our own small celebration then. We're sure The Mommy will give us stinky goodness at least! We can't believe we're already 6 years old...if we were sticky beans, we'd be in 1st grade and going to school! We're sure glad we're not...
