Jasmine on Sunday

We are no longer happy so soon as we wish to be happier. 

 - Walter Savae Landor - 

Hai Furriends!

Do you know what made our Mom happy?

OK, I will tell you.

A big, cheap inexpensive stack of new washcloths.

Sometimes she is easy to entertain.

Happy Sunday!!

~ Jasmine

Malachi and Jasmine on Saturday

Don't worry about avoiding temptation,

as you grow older it starts avoiding you. 

 Hai.. Malachi and Jasmine here!

We do not know why, but Mom likes to go look at old stuff.

When she looks at antiques, she finds kittycats!

This one reminded her of KittyBoy.

She loved him a whole lot!

We think this is scary looking.

Very.

We thing this is scary-er looking!!

Why is that in an antique booth?

She came home with this 'frig magnet.

We told her it needs an 's' added!

Happy Weekend to all our furriends and beans!

Thankful Thursday with Jasmine

Some people talk to animals. Not many listen, though.

That's the problem.   

- A.A. Milne - 

Hai Furriends..

Mom is Thankful on this Thursday because I am here!

A long, long time ago an internet friend of  Mom Bobbie said if someone would go and get a cat out of an animal control, and meet her, she would take the cat... who was to be destroyed that day. Well, Mom said she would go get that cat.. it was a long, long drive, but Mom does things like. After she got me from AC she had to drive yet another long, long way to meet the lady...whose name was Claire. By the time Claire got there Mom had been holding me and loving on me and I was so content and comfortable to have someone give me attention. I had kittens in the past, and no one cared for me or them.

She tried to not cry as she handed me over to Claire, and managed to hold up until she was alone on the long way back to her home. Claire loved me so much and I loved her.. but one day she had to go to Heaven, it is sorta like a Rainbow Bridge for hooman beans.
I was put outside.

One day Mom Bobbie got a call. Claires husband. He was getting married and wanted to know if Mom wanted to take me, as he was moving.. and I had been kicked outside when Claire left.

Well, YES!!

She didn't sleep a wink that night...

She met him the next day. She is so, so thankful he called.

She hugs me every single day. A lot.

Happy Thursday!

~ Jasmine

Sunshine on Monday

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone.... 

Our Mom has been sad since Maggie Mae had

to run off to the Rainbow Bridge.

We are telling her she has lots of love from all of us.

We think she is better and we will be back soon.

We miss our furriends!!

Wordy, Wordy Wednesday

Don't underestimate the value of Doing Nothing,

 of just going along, 

 listening to all the things you can't hear, 

 and not bothering.

- Piglet -

Hai Furriends!

We have got Doing Nothing down to an art.

Our Mom, on the other hand, has been quiet busy with

The Boyz...

While she was walking them around the property 

(there is not enough grass in their area,

even with the hay they are served) 

she noticed Patrick was shivering!

They had spent one very cold night in the basement,

and the next night in their regular place.

She decided to put them stay in the basement again.

Things went well until Malachi would not follow her up the

basement steps into the house. She looked around to see if

he was coming up, and Bob started up the stairs!!

Yikes!

Bob is a Very Big Goat and the last time he got into the house he

jumped right up on Moms bed  

^..^

She managed to close the door, but could Bob go back down?

She waited and listened.. he didn't move, he was right at the 

door which was twelve steps up from the basement floor.

She finally went around to the door in the back yard and saw

 that he and Patrick were both in the basement. Whew!! 

Our Mom is not big enough 

to handle Bob and his hard-headed-ness for sure!

We are glad he went down the steps on his own!!

Patrick is better today.

Maggie Mae does not feel great, but she is moving around

She gets her staples looked at tomorrow...

Mom helped out a little bit at AWARE today.

We think she will sleep well, we may have to move over!

Happy Wednesday,

~ Miss Emily, Napoleon and Jasmine

Sisters on Saturday

A sister is a forever friend.

Hai Furiends,

Jasmine and Miss Emily here.

We are not sisters by the same mother,

but we are sisters!

Happy Saturday,

Jasmine and Miss Emily

Jasmine on Tuesday

There is always a lot to be thankful for,
if you take the time to look.

For example, Mom is sitting here thinking

how nice it is that wrinkles don't hurt.

- unknown -

*~*~*~*~*

Furiends,
Our Mom left us to do what she called
Antique-ing.
What is that? She is already an antique,
why look for more wrinkles and sags?

There were a LOT of salt and pepper shakers.

A lot!

She found some cute kittycats, but left them there.

Her friend wanted to go to The Varsity.
Oh Yum..
Did she bring us anything?

No. She did not.
Happy Tuesday!

Sleeping on Tuesday - Nap and Jas

Nothing cures insomnia like the realization
that it's time to get up.

Hai furriends and Beans!
Hope you are having a nice Tuesday.
We had our breakfast and are doing well,
hope you are, too!!

Happy Mothers Day - Jasmine

When your mother asks,
'Do you want a piece of advice?'
it is a mere formality.
It doesn't matter if you answer yes or no.
You're going to get it anyway.

- Erma Brombeck -

Hi Furriends and Beans!
We want to wish everyone a Happy Mothers Day, if you are a
Mother, a Daughter, a Sister, a Mother-in-law, an Aunt or a Grand!
I am the only kittycat here that has been a Mother, and thankfully
I was saved from that ever happening again to me!
There are enough kittens in this world.
Our Mom was going to use this quote, because it is true..
well, the first part is true, anyway :)
My mother had a great deal of trouble with me, but I think she enjoyed it.
- Mark Twain -
Have a safe and Happy Mothers Day!

The Tortoiseshell cat
She sits on the mat
As gay as a sunflower, she;
In orange and black you see her blink,
And her waistcoat's white, and her nose is pink
And her eyes are green of the sea.

Happy Sunday!

Tummy - Toesday Tuesday!

Cats never strike a pose that isn't photogenic.
- Lillian Jackson Braun -

We are back! Our computer got sick and kept getting a dreaded blue screen. Because Mom did not want it to completely break down, she called a repair place and they came over and took it away! Our computer was gone for about a week. Mom missed it, and we missed visiting our furriends. Hopefully we are back for good now!

Happy Toesday/Tummy day to all ^..^

Easy Like Sunday ~ Cat Tree

There is, incidentally, no way of talking about cats,
that enables one to come off as a sane person.
- Dan Greenberg -

Someone told Mom about a cat tree on Craigs List in Atlanta.
It was $99.00
Mom called the number and asked about it, if it was still there.
It was.
She didn't have any extra green papers (who does?) but
the nice man said he'd be glad to bring it to our house so
she could look at it. Well, she had some green papers saved
for any ER vet that we may have to get, and decided she could
use that if she liked the tree. She did.
I do, too!
Hope none of us have to go to ER any time soon!!
Happy Sunday to all our furiends and bean pals.

Tortie Thursday and our Bonita

Cats are kindly masters, just so long as you remember your place.
- Paul Gray -

We think our little foster will be leaving in the morning for New Jersey. Mom sure will miss her, she is a sweet little girl kittycat.

We are so thankful for the people that pull, rescue, foster and find forever homes for so many of the animals on death row.

Happy Tortie Thursday!

After scolding one's cat one looks into its face and is seized

by the ugly suspicion that it understood every word...

And has filed it for reference.

My attitude ready for anything that may come up today.

Never hurts to be prepared!

Happy Sunday to all ..

Saturday Story ~ Jasmine

If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the

shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will

deal likewise with their fellow men.
St. Francis of Assisi

Many years ago I was on death row in a Georgia pound. A very sweet, kind lady offered to take me if someone could pull me and meet her halfway. Well, Mom Bobbie said she would get me. She drove a whole lot of miles to the pound, then many more miles to meet my new Mom, Claire.

Mom Bobbie cried when she gave me to Mom Claire because she had been holding me and loving on me while waiting, but knew Mom Claire would take very good care of me, which she did .. until she got sick and went to Heaven.

Mom Claires husband called and asked Mom Bobbie if she wanted me, as he was going to put me outside!! His new wifes child was 'allergic' to cats! I was declawed at a very early age, and Mom Bobbie knew she didn't want me to be thrown away, so she meet the husband and I have been here with The Bunch for a couple of years. I've had some skin problems, but my fur is back to it's beautiful look thanks to some dear friends, (I call them my Aunties) on the internet that have helped Mom Bobbie take care of me.

Hope everyfur and every bean has a nice weekend!

Wordy Wednesday ~ Bob and Patrick

If you're short of trouble..get a goat.

Hi Boyz - I managed to get out while Mom was
getting Shorty in! Wasn't that great?!
Before I came here this year, I was an inside
outside cat, but no more. I was glad she let
me stay out for a while and have a bit of grass
with you and share your sunshine!

We're going in now and will tell your NOMSS friend,
Daisy The Curly Cat hello from you!
Happy Wednesday everyfur and everyone.

Make room for Mom

I'd been told that the training procedure with cats was difficult.
It's not. Mine had me trained in two days.
-Bill Dana-

When Mom gets out of bed one of us will hop into her place.
Can you guess which one it is? The remote may give it away.
Left to right we are:
Noah, Malachi, Sara, Napoleon, Jasmine, Anna Sue
and Shorty.
The sun is shining and Bob and Patrick are very happy!
We hope the sun is shining on you, too.
