Anna Sue on Thankful Thursday

I've been on a constant diet for the last two decades.  

I've lost a total of 789 pounds.  

By all accounts, 

I should be hanging from a charm bracelet. 

 - Erma Bombeck -   

Hai Furriends and Beans..

Mom has put me on a diet because I am diabetic, and I am doing just fine so far! We discovered this before my brofur Napoleon had to run off to The Rainbow Bridge. Mom was pretty busy with worry. She is an expert at worry and had two of us to keep her worrier busy. I get an injection of insulin and go to the VET to get tested on my ear. Can you see where they steal my bloods?? It does not hurt, but Mom said it distracts from my beauty. I say it gives me character. 

We want to thank everyone for their kind words about Napoleon. We sure do miss him around here. He was here a long, long time. He was 12 years old when I came here in 2004. He was a great cat and is now at The Bridge with his sisfur, Georgia. This is one of Moms favorite photos of them, because she was so tiny and he was so big.. but she did not let that stop her from telling him what for!

We know they are happy and running free and healthy.

Thank you again for all your sweet thoughts for our boy.

We are Thankful for the Cat Blogosphere!!

Thursday with Anna Sue

The greatest health is wealth. 

 - Virgil - 

What a shocking thing to happen!

Anna Sue didn't feel well, so Mom took her to the VET.

She is diabetic and has to spend time in the hospital to get better.

We miss her so much, so Mom too a picture of her.

Some of her pretty furs are gone, something is there to get her bloods!

We would appreciate good thoughts and prayers as she goes through this ..

and if you have any extra, Napoleon could use them.

Then, should you have any left..... Mom could use them.

Hope you have a good Thursday,

~ The Bunch

Anna Sue with fairies?

A rustle in the wind reminds us that a fairy is near. 

There must be a lot of fairies around us today because

it is very windy! We hope the old pine trees stay planted.

Happy Tuesday from my pretty tail and me!

Tail and Toesies Day ~ Anna Sue

The cat is the animal to whom the Creator gave
the biggest eye,
the softest fur,
the most supremely delicate nostrils,
a mobile ear,
an unrivaled paw and a curved claw
borrowed from the rose-tree.

Happy Tail and Toesies Day!

Cats never strike a pose that isn't photogenic.

Mom, on the other hand, is just not photogenic!
We love her anyway ^..^

Hi Furriends!
Just wanted to take a minute and introduce
you to ... two more fosters!!
Yes, we have those fine boys right here in this house!!
They have been named Basil and Nigel.
They were so afraid the first few days, so we just took
a couple of pictures, but we took a few more today.
To those of you that found some green papers
THANK YOU and for those who kept their fingers
crossed that Robin at CiCH could get them, THANK YOU!
They are safe and will be here maybe a couple of weeks.

~ Anna Sue

Now, I'd like you to meet our foster brofurs...
Basil (in front) and Nigel (on table).
They are on a grain free diet as both are
overweight at 21 and 27 pounds.
Nigel was more comfortable than Basil.

These boys sure do love each other.
We are soooo glad that they are safe and
will have a forever home!

Thank you

One Year Later ~ Anna Sue

No one can confidently say
that he will still be living tomorrow.

One long year ago tonight, our Mom had a
Massive Heart Attack.
Her daughter bean, our 'Sissy' fed us and took care of us
for six very long months, until Mom could come home.
We are so grateful for all the prayers, good wishes and thoughts,
we did not know if she would ever recover enough to come home.
When she finally was awake, she had to learn lots of things,
how to walk, how to write, and stuff that she had known how to do.
Two of Sissy's friends, Meghan & Tinelle helped feed and care for us
We are so grateful to them.
Now, here's Mom!
~ Anna Sue

I want to thank everyone on BCC, Facebook and The Cat Blogosphere,
for your support for me!
My doctors and nurses were amazed at the cards, gifts and well wishers!
You helped me get through a awfully rough time
along with my wonderful family.
Thank you, thank you a thousand times over..
~ Mom Bobbie

MacGruber went to school

If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.
MacGruber got to go to school the other day to be tutored.
Mr. Bobby came to get him, he was gone all day!

Mom met Mr. Bobby and got MacGruber back,
I do not think he learned much at school.
We were glad to have him back home, well, this is not really his home.
He will be going about a squillion miles away one day very soon
and then he will be home, or almost home.
Mom loves him a whole lot, but will be happy for him to
get a real home of his very own!
Maybe we will be glad to not hear her going on and on about
how beautiful and wonderful he is when she is in his room.
Yep, we will be glad to get some of that attention!
Hope every fur and Bean has a nice weekend!
~ Anna Sue

Finally Friday ~ Anna Sue

Act as if what you do makes a difference.
It does.
- William James -

Hai Furriends and Beans!
Hope you all are having a sunny Friday.
Mom said she is not doing anything special by keeping MacGruber.
She said any of you do the same thing, you know you would!
He is doing really well, and Mom still spends time with him.
She will take more pictures today. Maybe he has forgotten how to squint.

I heard something about him going to school next week.
Mom said he would do fine, as Timothy, Napoleon, Noah and Malachi
have all been tutored. I think it is a bit like Daisys Lady Garden
which all of us girls know about.
Miss Robin wants him well and healthy to make his Magic Trip to her,
about a squillion miles away! We are still working on how she does this.

Happy Friday!
~ Anna Sue

Toesies and Tail Tuesday

It always gives me a shiver when I see a cat seeing what I can't see.
-Eleanor Farjeon -

We like that quote because sometimes we look past Mom

and just stare at nothing..well, she thinks it's nothing.

We never tell what we see.
Guess who is not in the room right now? NOAH!

He thinks he can just come sit on the keyboard.

Well, not when the door is closed!

We hope all our furriends are having a nice day.

Our sun is out and it is pretty warm here.

Bob and Patrick sure do enjoy the sun.

I heard a rumor that the spare room will be in use again.

Will have to keep my ear to the ground and let you know

if I hear any more about this.

Got to tell Mom to let Noah come back in now,

Hope everyfur has a nice Tuesday!

~ Anna Sue

Easy Like Sunday /Halloween ~ Anna Sue

The two rules of procrastination:
1) Do it today.
2) Tomorrow will be today tomorrow.

Our Mom is really good at procrastinating.

We hear it is not a good habit to have, but
if you look at that shelf behind me and my beautiful tail
you will see what she has been working on forEVER!
Oh those shelves!
Oh well, I'm taking it Easy On Sunday and hope you are too..
Happy Halloween!

'That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,' said the cat.
