Middle of June already

Hi everybody! Time sure does go by fast. I'll try to do short updates of what's goin' on here. My Mom got poizun put in her veins on Tuesday. She only went to work for a few hours Wednesday and Thursday, then came home for a long weekend that involved lotsa sleepin'. she's very happy that she didn't get real sicky from it, just very, very, very tired. she even had trouble watchin' the hockey games 'cause she kept dozin' off. Wednesday night she was in the bathroom for a long time. i'm not sure what she was doin', i just know she wasn't happy. but since then, she's eatin' whatever she wants, her appetite came back. she still looks the same too. and Friday she changed doctors. she didn't like the new chemologist that she had. he didn't call in a pill she needed to the drug store and did not explain things good. her new doctor she said is very nice and explains everything real good. so she has to have poizun put in her every other week, three times. then she'll have a test to see if she needs more.

I had to go to the vet dr. this week too. i needed my pee checked to make sure i still needed to be on special food plus bloodworks. i lost a little more weight and Dr. Cindy wants to make sure everything is okay, so they took most of my blood out of me. Then Tabitha and Dr. Cindy combed and combed and combed me 'till they got all the old fur and little mats out. my Mom says i look "sleek and studly" now (I didn't before????) that picture up there is me after we got home, loungin' on the back porch and enjoying my mat free fur.

And, as some of you noticed and sent me nice wishes, it was my purrthday this week. I'm twelbe whole years old! my Mom said we'd try to celebrate this weekend, but today she asked if I minded if we waited another day or two when she has more enerjie. heck no, that's fine with me, just so we do it sometime. i don't want my Mom to get overtired.

this picture is of a pork roast my Mom made a couple weeks ago on the barbeque. everybody who's seen it has said it looks yummy, so i thought i'd show you all. personally, i'd rather see fish comin' off that barbeque. the butcher at the store she bought it from was really acited that she was actually put all kindsa stuff on it, not just bottled barbeque sauce.

I think my Mom is callin' for pizza today. yuck. i bet they won't even consider a shrimp pizza!

we've been soooo bizzy

Hi! i'm sorry i don't post more often, but we have all been very, very bizzy. The Dad was in a show where he could sell the stuff he makes, so he was very busy makin' new jewelry and things that hold prayers in people's doorways. it was all really pretty and my Mom helped ahead of time and at the show. Lotsa people liked his stuff and took it home. This week my Mom was out of town for two days. i didn't like that. she had to make four speeches in one day. that was a lot. and she's got somethin', maybe, happenin' in her head. maybe. she had one test that showed she did - really, really tiny little spots. but there was a board of people at the hospital who insisted she have another test to see for sure what those spots are before they started doing more stuff to her head. so that's good. we'll know tuesday.

meanwhile, the Dad has been workin' in the yard, it looks real pretty. i took some pictures to show you. he's kinda mad at me 'cause they have a REALLY BIG hosta plant and it's the only one in the yard that i chew on. i chew right thru the stems and all the leaves fall off. i don't know why i chew on that one. it's just my favorite. Here's a picture of us, me and the hosta and one of the hosta by itself. i'm sorry if i hurt it.


a thing that my Mom is really, really happy 'bout is that the Chickadees came back to the little birdhouse in the front yard. every day she's been seein' 'em fly in and out of the house. one, we think the Dad, brings seeds to one inside, we think the Mom. my Mom puts safflower seed out special for the chickadees and the cardinals. the squirrels, who will eat anything that isn't glued down, don't like safflower, so she makes sure her favorite birds always have somehin' to eat.

here's one more picuture of the back yard. it shows some pretty purple flowers we have. i think my Mom calls 'em allyums or somethin', but they're real nice.

i have been forcin' my Mom to let me visit blogs, i'm tryin' to keep up. it's stupid being "too bizzy." if anybody has anything really acitin', if you post a little comment on my blog, i'll make sure to come over and check it out.

Hugs to everybody from me, edsel the pooch!

spring has sprung!!!

it has been a beautiful day today. warm and sunny. the yard is full of green things growin', it's so cool. my Mom and me walked around the yard today checkin' stuff out. she and the Dad are busy gettin' ready for a show where they think they'll sell lotsa the Dad's cool stuff, so nobody has time to work outside. but the show is on May 6th, so that will leave lotsa time after to get things spiffy.

and looky, looky, looky! i think i told everybody when the Dad's friend Keith brought over catnip plants that he dug up from his father's yard. they survived the winter!!! i'm so happy. when my Mom and i were walking round toay, we found that both clumps are growin'!!! oh yea! fresh catnip whenever i want. last year we didn't get a bunch of catnip thieves comin' in the yard tryin' to eat it all. i hope we don't this year either. it's so nice and tender and fresh right now. baby leaves and all. the Dad calls it "home grown." i don't know why he calls it that like it's somethin' special....... what? oh, he said the dry stuff you get in the store is dry and kinda icky and our home grown is so fresh and almost minty smellin'. that makes sense. home grown is much better. and it should smell minty, it's real name is Catmint.

well, my Mom is makin' leftovers from goin' out for dinner yesterday for dinner today. tomorrow she's gonna cook. she's been cookin' more than she has in a while, but it's mostly stuff i don't 'specially like. like chicken. she's makin' that tomorrow. i think she should make fish, but she says she wants leftovers and fish isn't always good left over. the Dad really likes left overs, and that way she can cook one meal and it's good for two or three days. that's good plannin' i guess.

i'm gonna go watch the hockey game. we're gonna beat those jacket men again, i just know it. YEA Wings, the Wings are KINGS!!!

this Sunday the signs have to be on TV

I'm sorry to lead you wrong last week. i just know the Dad's signs will be on tv THIS Sunday.

The Dad's stuff on National TV

the Dad got a commission in the fall to make two signs, one for each team on that tv show of Donald Trump called "Celebrity Apprentice." Since the first episode of this season was on last week and the two teams picked their names, we think the signs will make their daybew on tonight's show. So if you watch, you might see the Dad's cool signs that he made for them. He's pretty acited. this pitcher is sign he made out of ironwood and turquoise. my Mom faked my name on it. usually the names are laser engraved or in nice brass or aluminum letter.

tomorrow is balentines day!!

this is me when i was a little younger, smaller and (Casey says) cuter.

all i know is that i gots lotsa red hearts and they'll help me wish all of my wonderful friends a very, very Happy Balentine's Day!

Hugs and Smooches to all (especially to my Tuxedo Gun Moll Boni)

New Year's Eve

i don't understand why so many beans make such a big fuss 'bout today and tomorrow. the "date" changes my Mom tells me, but so what? beans make all kindsa rezolushuns and don't keep 'em what what i hear. oh well. they have to occupy themselves with something i guess.

we're havin' the traditional pizza, salad and broasted chicken tonight. and lox and bagels tomorrow. i sure hope there's gonna be some cod in there somewhere.

oh, an update. the box for the digital thermometer turned up, so the thermometer is back in it's "bed." but that nasty butter is still missin'. it is still a big mystery.

it's very cold, 17 degrees right now and gettin' colder. i'm sure glad i have a nice, warm home and that my Mom and the Dad love us. last night while watching DVRd tv shows (my Mom is a House addict. does anyone know who shot him and why and why his leg is still so bad?) my Mom rubbed my tummy for so long that her hand started to sweat and got my furs all damp and creepy. i hope she doesn't do that again. there is a limit to how much tummy rubbin' is good, for gosh sakes.

gotta go. HAPPY NEW YEAR to all!!!!!
