Finally Friday

We are so glad that it is Finally Friday, for lots of reasons. First of all, our woofie Samwise is home and safe. This is a picture Daddy took of Sammy yesterday morning. We think he was saying "I do not like it here. Can we go home now, please please please?" The V-E-T had to pull two of his teeths and was unable to sew the wound up (not enough healthy tissue because the teeth were very bad) so he has an open wound in his mouth. What this means is Samwise gets lots of Auntie Botiks and pain med-a-shuns and he gets to eat as much stinky goodness as he wants for a few days because he cannot have crunchies. Thank you all for your purrs and purryers. We all really appreciate it.

Secondly, we are thankful that it is Finally Friday because both of our beans will be home all weekend - unlike last weekend. Last weekend we had Mommy all to ourselves all day on Caturday because Daddy had to go and cook FOODS for people, at a cemetery no less (Purrageous Mom: It was a dinner for participants of a Halloween event at this particular historic cemetery so that is why they had the dinner there). Here is a picture of Daddy cooking - he is in the black shirt on the right.

Can you guess who is on the left? He has on Halloween makeup so he looks a little different than normal. Mommy says if you or your beans are something called "a foodie" then his hair should be a huge hint. Your other hint is that this person has been has been on TV lots. Do you know?

Finally, we are happy it is Friday because Fridays now mean Daddy is home with us from day hunting, all day. Yay!! That means we have someone to wait on us and serve as as we should be taken care of. Oh, and he can make sure samwise is doing well too! Have a great weekend everykitty!

Samwise at the V-E-T

That is right kitties. As we type this, our woofie Samwise is at the V-E-T getting ready to have his teeths cleaned. Daddy took him this morning. The very good news is that his cornea is completely healed and the V-E-T is very happy with his progress there. She just wants him to have his eye cleaned and Auntie Botiked one more day and then his is done there. The bad news is Daddy had to leave our Sammy at the V-E-T so they can so all sorts of awful things to him - they may call it teeths cleaning but who knows what they will do to him!!!!

We are worried about him and so is Mommy. Mommy says she is worried because they will put him under 'stesia so they can clean his teeths. We do not know what that means but it sounds scary - What Daddy? It means make Sammy take a nap? But he will wake up again, right? Daddy says he will wake up just fine and that Daddy will pick him up at 4:30 from the V-E-T and bring him home. Mommy is still worried though so any purrs or purrayers would be much appreciated. Thanks!! We will keep you updated!!

Mandog Monday Update

Today we have an update on our puppy brother Samwise. As we told you kitties about on Friday, Sammy had to go to the V-E-T because he had owies in both eyes! Well, Daddy came home early from day hunting on Friday to take Sammy. That vet, Dr Becky, who is friends with our Aunt Susan, put dyes is Samwise's eyes and yep, he had a very stratched left eye. His right eye is okay, just irritated from Sammy pawing at his face. He is on the same pain medication and topical eye Auntie Botiks that Aunt Susan put him on. However, when Dr. Becky was looking at Samwise's mouth, she found some really nasty teeth. Aunt Susan showed them to Mommy on Saturday and Mommy says they are not pretty at all. What this means is Sammy has to go back to the V-E-T on Thursday to have his teeths cleaned and has to take an oral Auntie Botik to help clear up that infection. Poor Sammy!! Four V-E-T checks in one week - of course two of them were Aunt Susan either coming to our house or Mommy taking him to her house where he got to see his girlfriend Storm and her sister Romy, but still!! Poor Sammy!

Wait, what was that Sammy? Oh, yeah! Sam wants us to thank all of your for your purrs and purrayers that he feels better. He thinks that is why his eyes are healing so very fast. He would also appreciate it if you would all purr for him on Thursday, when he had to go back to the V-E-T. He is a bit nervous about that, as they will have to knock him out to clean his teeth. Mommy is nervous about it too! Thanks everykitty!!

Piratey Update

Hi everyone! We know we have not been posting a lot lately, or visiting friends this week, but our Mommy is sick again! She went to the V-E-T yesterday and still feels terrible. Hopefully now that she has more meds, she will feel better soon and we can get back to visiting everyone.

We wanted to give you all an update on Samwise too. Samwise is feeling lots better and Aunt Susan says he is healing nicely. He actually got to go and visit his girlfriend Storm on Tuesday for Aunt Susan and Uncle Dave's Mardi Gras party. They had lots of fun together. Mommy wishes she had pictures of them but Daddy forgot the camera and she stayed home in bed with us. Samwise wants to thank everyone who has sent him good thoughts and purrs. We think that is why he felt better so soon. You guys are great and we are very thankful for you!! Thanks again!!

And oh no, we almost forgot! Today is our Mommy's birthday!!! She's 32 today - really old for a cat!

Happy Birthday Mommy!!

Award and Meme

Look what the Captain's Lady Boo and her family gave us! Isn't it wonderful!

Thanks Lady Boo and Abby, Ping, Gracie, and Jinx. We really appreciate it and think you are excellent too (Jack especially thinks that his Boo is the most wonderful kitty alive but he is a bit biased).

Also, Lyra and Caesar tagged us for a meme! Here it is!

In this meme you have to tell everykitty 3 things that are new with you! Link it back to the kitty who gave it to you and Tigmuthep and pass it on to 3 more kitties you'd like to know more about!

1. Since Samwise has been not feeling well, we've been guarding him against Beaux. This means that we get to lay on the back of the couch while Sam spreads out on the cushions and Beaux gets the hardwood floor to lay on! hahahahaha!

2. Lately we've been insisting that we get to sleep on the big bed with the beans at night. Jack curls up around Mommy's ankles and Dante curls up around Mommy's shoulder. We let Samwise (since he is hurt) sleep next to Daddy but we get Mommy! A kitty has to stay warm and snuggling in January after all.

3. Our beans finally bought us new blinds for the big picture window in the living room. We had horizontal blinds before and we had to poke our heads through and hold down the blinds below us and such to look out before but now they bought vertical blinds for us because it makes it easier for us to look outside. We are very spoiled kitties.

Thanks again to everyone who sent their purrs and good wishes to Samwise. He is feeling much better and his owwie looks a lot better too!! We will take care of him and protect him from Beaux until he is completely healed!

Update on Samwise

We have an update on Samwise. Last night when Mommy got home she felt a lump on the very top of his head and realized that some of his head furrs were matted with what appeared to be dried blood. Further inspection showed a head injury so Mommy and Daddy called Aunt Susan. Aunt Susan had the beans give a sedative to Sammy with some drugs they had leftover from when Beau was hurt and needed sedation. After he was sleepy, they were able to clean his head and cut the furrs really short so they could see what was going on. Sammy has a boo-boo, a puncture like wound on the top of his head that is just the right size to have been made by one of Beaux's teeth. Yep, when the doggies got into their fight, Beaux bit Samwise very hard on the head and hurt him.

The bad news is that the gash is infected and is oozing nasty stuff so Mommy will have to keep is wound clean. Aunt Susan called in some antibiotiks as well as pain medication for Sam so that should help lots. The good news is that Sammy is not acting hurt and the shivering and shaking has stopped so he is not in as much pain as before. He is still wanting to play and seems to be in good sprits. Thank you for your purrs and purryers - all of us really appreciate it. We are sorry that we are not getting around to all of our friends lately but Mommy has lots going on on top of the doggie illnesses. Please do not forget us pirates!!
