Today Emma is 4....

Hi efurrybuddy, sorry we've been gone so long. Mama says life keeps getting in the way.

Anyway, today is my 4th birthday & I hope you will stop by & party with us! Maybe somebuddy can move life out of the way so we can blog more.....

Sammy's 7th Gotcha Day!!

I can't believe that it's been 7 years since I came here to live with Mama! "Daddy" lived here then, but I was pretty much Mama's boy...still am, `cept I have to share her with Fes & Emma.

We're back.....

We are so sorry that we haven't blogged in so long. Between jobbie issues, losing Joey & trying to help a family member going through domestic abuse, Mama hasn't really felt like helping us blog.

We've been making her read our furiends bloggies but the comments have been very few & far between. All of us feel real bad about that, but what's a kitty to do?? We did make her sign up for the Squillion give-away & we can't believe we actually won!!

We are waaay behind on "Thank yous", clear back to our Secret Paws gifts (heads hung down in shame). We'll be working on Mama to get that done soon!

There is some good news to report, Mama has been working as a substitute in the daycare for Teen Parent Services off & on the past couple months. And today she starts back taking care of her sticky bean & blurpy!! She's so excited because she can still sub if they need her at the daycare since she will be taking care of the other 2 in the evening! So, the green paper situation should be getting better....what a relief!!!

Hopefully we will be getting back in full blogging mode furry soon.

One month.....

It's been one month since our Joey went to the Bridge, it doesn't seem possible that he's been gone that long. Mama's eyes still get leaky for him every day, but she is doing better. We all purr on her a little more than we used to & we think that might help a little.

Wordless Wednesday

Mama is famous.....sort of...

If you want to see Mama on TV go to wgem.com, on the right side of the page is the top videos. She's the big blonde gal in the blue shirt rocking sticky beans.



Mama was on TV tonight!! That makes her famous, right??

She was a substitute at the Teen Parent Services childcare today, that means she got to play with little blurps & sticky beans. Our local news did a story on teen pregnancy, so they were at the school taping the teen beans & their little beans. When the news beans came in the childcare room, they taped Mama rocking two little sticky beans. There was three different shots of her so we're pretty sure she must be at least a little famous. We were furry excited!

Wordless Wednesday

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!

Joey is an angel

Around 4:45 this afternoon, Joey was helped to the Bridge. My heart is broken & I feel so lost. I know we haven't been posting very regular, but I will be taking a few days off so I can grieve for my baby.

Joey

Joey wasn't any better at all yesterday, so last night I called an emergency vet clinic & talked to a vet there. She told me to start syringe feeding him chicken baby food & pedialyte. My sister went to the store & got some, then drove a half hour to bring them to me so I wouldn't have to leave Joey.

I've been feeding him about every 4 hours & he seems to being doing some better. He is still very weak, but he is starting to fight me during his feedings so I take that as a good sign. He even came in & got in bed with me this morning, he rarely did that before he got sick. He even ventured into the kitchen awhile ago, so he must be getting a little strength back.
I have to go babysit for 3 or 4 hours tonight & I hate to leave him, but I need the money.

Thank you all for your purrs, purrayers & prayers. Hopefully he will get well & not leave me. He's only been here for about 2 1/2 months, but I can't imagine my life without him.

Update on Joey

UPDATE: We just returned from the vet a few minutes ago. Joey is very anemic, dehydrated & has some jaundice. The vet said it could be (insert big word here) a blood parasite, which is treatable or something else (didn't say what) that isn't. He gave him an antibiotic shot & fluids, along with a dose of liquid vitamins. He sent home the vitamins & some antibiotic capsules & said hopefully this will work. I waited until he was done before I told him I couldn't pay him today, so he let me charge it. Please pray it's the blood parasite & that the antibiotics knock it out so that Joey can get well. Thank you all.




Joey took a bad turn last night & is barely hanging on. I called the vet this morning & he was going out on an emergency call & would let me know when he was back in the office, but that it would be around noon. I just got a call & he's pushed it to 1:15. Please pray that Joey can hold on & that he can be healed from whatever is making him sick.

PURRS NEEDED

This is Mama taking over the blog. I'm asking for purrs & purrayers for Joey....for the last week & a half, he has been eating very little & losing weight. I've tried stinky goodness, baby food & even changed the crunchies & nothing is working. The only thing I can get him to eat is Temptations & not very many of them. He was doing a little better yesterday but today he has vomited twice. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. Thanks.

Merry Christmas

We apawlogize for not blogging & commenting, things around here have been....shall we say strained, for the last few weeks.

But we wanted to wish efurrybuddy a Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays. And we want to thank our furiends that sent us Christmas cards. We also have to apawlogize for not sending out cards, Mama said that time & green papers got away from her.

Hopefully after the holidays Mama will let us write a big, long, boring post about what's been going on. Till then, please don't forget us....

Woo Hoo!!

Mama found out that she finally gets to start her new jobbie on Monday!! Of course, she probably could've started about a week & a half ago if she hadn't forgotten to turn in one of her papers....we can't give her too much grief cause the boss lady said there were several that haven't turned in everything. That made Mama feel a little better. She gets to ride the Pre-K bus, which is what she was hoping for, so she's happy!

We probably won't get to post again before Thanksgiving, so we want to wish the whole CB a very Happy Turkey Day!!!

Thankful Thursday with Joey

Hi everybuddy! The Lady...ummm...Mama said I could post today. If I look a little irritated, it's because I was in the middle of a bath when I got

interrupted by the flashy box. Anyway, I get to tell you what I'm thankful for:

I'm thankful for Mama taking me in & taking care of me.

I'm thankful for a warm, dry home & plenty of foods to eat.

And I'm thankful for the wonderful beans on the Cat Blogosphere that helped make all this possible!!
