Happy 5th Gotcha Day Emma!!!

Most beans do "before & after" pics....Mama does "after & before" pics. *sigh*

Anyway, Emma's been with us for 5 years...time flies by pretty fast. We still remember when Mama brought little Emma home, she looked like a bite-sized snack! She hated Fes on sight & still isn't very fond of him. If he gets too close to her, she still growls & hisses at him! She & I (Sammy) get along OK, although she's gotten pretty fiesty with me lately.

What with Mama being sick she didn't feel like planning a party, but she's goin back to work today sooo, efurrybuddy can come on over & party while Mama's gone. She bought a big bag of food & we have plenty of temp-tay-shons so we shouldn't go hungry! What Mama don't know won't hurt us, right??

Update on Mama: she had her eye v-e-t visit today & no vision loss!! Although the shingles still have to run their course, the eye v-e-t said it is unlikely to affect Mama's eye if it hasn't by now. Thank you so much for your purrs, tail wags & good thoughts!!

Monday, Monday

Sorry we haven't been around much. Between all of our furiends that have run off to the Bridge, all of our furiends that are sick & having work done on our house has had Mama stressed. Then when precious Shell went to the Bridge, Mama lost the will to blog. Or comment much. So, we talked her into posting about the work we had done. We all know she's reall crappy at getting pictures to line up right on our bloggie, so please forgive her cause she doesn't know what she's doing. This is the lovely kitchen ceiling before all manner of strange beans came to fix it. It's been like this for a couple years.

This is the litterbox room ceiling. This happened last summer before Mama got the roof fixed. Actually this put a fire under Mama's butt to get the roof fixed.

The litterbox room ceiling after the strange beans left. Mama still has to paint it, but it looks much better.

The kitchen ceiling after. It looks sooo much better & we're glad all this work is finished!

We were NOT happy when 6 strange male beans came into our house last Friday. We added greatly to Mama's stress level. Mama was in the kitchen talking to some of the strange beans, then she came into the living room. (We also got a new front door) She just about had a heart attack because the beans had the front door open & she hadn't put us kitties in the bedroom yet....and no kitties were to be seen. She ran outside & no kitties could be seen out there either. She found Sammy pretty quick behind the couch but didn't find me (Festus) or Emma. She looked efurry where (or so she thought) & was frantic because she thought we got out. When all the strange beans left, 4 hours later, Em & I decided to come out from under the couch!! She didn't think we could get our fat bootys under there but we did! We got LOTS of loves & treats cause she was so happy to see us!!!

Mama says this is way too long & she hopes efurrybuddy reads it. Hey, we're just trying to make up for lost time, right?

Easy like Sunday

Hi efurrybuddy, we want to let you know that we're doing OK. Mama still gets leaky eyes & she still misses Joey alot, but she's doing better. In that respect anyway. She's been kind of sicky the last few days. She says her head feels like there's a big drum pounding in it, she's had eye boogers, nose boogers....you name it.

We do want to thank efurryone for the condolence messages, it was nice to know that so many of our furiends were thinking of us. And we met some new furiends, too!
We also want to thank Charlemagne & Tamar & Mom Colleen for the donation & the beautiful card. And ML & the Sherwood Bunch for their donation & ML for helping Mama through a very dark time. She also had a gift made for Mama & we will post pictures later.
We would be lost without all our furiends, we love you guys, thank you for everything!
