My blog is moving!

2011-08-14T12:27:00.003-06:00

I really love blogger. Really. It's simple and straightforward and lets me blog without too much fuss. I can't do anything fancy, but I don't need to. With the introduction of Google+, Google has taken on an anti-user attitude lately. This makes me very very sad. They're insisting that all users must use real names and be real people. Well, I may be using my real name, but I'm a kitty and they

Evie Goes to a Rock Concert

2011-08-07T00:01:00.002-06:00

Remember a couple of weeks ago I said Evie had a big adventure coming up? Well, she went to see the band Chicago at Red Rocks Amphitheatre! They were playing with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra. Red Rocks is absolutely amazing. It has to be the most beautiful place on earth to hear a concert. And Evie got to go there. There's not much else to say about it with words. Pictures are the best way,

I been lazy this summer about blogging. It's just too hot to think, even with the a/c on. MOL. But I gotta show you a couple of awards that I got. First, I got this from @pandafur over at http://pandafur.blogspot.com/ Now, I've won this award before from my pal @mariodacat, so you all will have to forgive me if I don't do another list. But I would like to pass it on to someone I think is very

Can you help Daffy of @NoCryBabyDogs?

2011-07-09T15:57:00.000-06:00

From card designed by Daffy's mom http://www.etsy.com/shop/nocrybabydogs My furriends, I know we give a lot of money to a lot of causes. Well, now one of our own dear dear pals is the one who needs help. Daffy's mom, Ingrid, is sick and can use not just our love and prayers, but whatever pennies and nickels and dimes we can scrape together. I hope Ingrid doesn't get too mad at me for doing this

Packages From Near and Far

2011-06-26T20:22:00.003-06:00

Happy Sunday efurryone! My Sunday started out perfect. All three of us kitties snuggled in bed with mom for a really long time while she finished a book she was reading. It must have been a big book cause it took hours and hours to read. Plus there were scritches and games of 'chase mom's fingers under the blankie'. It was lovely. Now for my excitement this weekend. I got two packages - one from

2011-06-14T21:16:00.000-06:00

Hi everyone! Sorry I'm a couple of days late with my blog. I had no typist for the weekend. *glares at mom* I'm gonna let Lippe use the blog today to tell you about his visit here. We've been having a great time playing with my toys and my fursibs, but that was all when Mom wasn't home so we don't have many pictures of us playing. Lippe's gonna tell you about his adventures with Mom that I

Meezer Colors Day

2011-06-08T16:25:00.000-06:00

EK here. I'm borrowing the blog for today to show you my meezer colors. I know I look more like a tabby than a meezer with my beautiful cream and orange markings, but just look at me! I have blue eyes, I'm built like a meezer (I'm little for a boy cat) and I have a meezer meow. And Cathy at Duncan's Place told Mom that I'm part meezer when Mom picked me out. So I think I get to show off my

2011-06-07T21:17:00.000-06:00

My dear furriend, Bunny Jean Cook, went OTRB today. BJC was one of my first blogging furriends. Mom and I had the great pleasure of meeting her mom, Vicki (bottom row, 3rd from right), at Blogpaws West 2010. I wish I could write as beautifully as @mariodacat, but I can't. So I'm going to send you over to Mario's site to read his tribute to one of the nicest anipals I've had the pleasure to

Sunday Musing - Prizes!

2011-05-29T01:00:00.001-06:00

I'm a very bad kitty. I'm way behind on posting about some prizes I won. One of them because the weather didn't cooperate, the others because I've just been lazy about blogging. *embarrassed* So here they are. The first one I have to tell you about is my Kritter Kondo. I won it back in December, but didn't get to use it until a few weeks ago. The weather was just too yucky to be out on the

From the highway you can see what's left of some of the mine openings and some other mining equipment that's been left

Goodbye Sweet Praline

2011-04-25T20:58:00.000-06:00

Another angel has crossed the Rainbow Bridge. Sweet Praline has gone from being a star of the CB to a star in the heavens. I know now that now she's no longer in pain, no longer dealing with cancer, and is her sweet loving self again playing like a kitten. Her mom, Paula, made the most beautiful video collage of Praline. If you want to see it or if you just want to leave words of comfort, her

Purray for @Laddiecat

2011-04-22T10:54:00.001-06:00

My lovely Twitter furriend, @Laddiecat, has had another stroke. He's at the v-e-t jail in a coma. We all need to send him good energy and lots of love so he can take the next step in his journey. I hope that next step is that he comes out of his coma and comes back to us. But whatever that next step is, he's gonna need all the love he can get so he can take it soon and not linger in a coma. His
