Purrayers for Friends

Please keep our cat blogging friends Crystal who had to make an emergency trip to the vet. She has kidney failure and they put an IV in her and a catheter (yuck!) in your thoughts/purrayers. And Buddy who is recovering after a visit to the V-E-T. As well as Oscar who is having an op-er-way-shun on Wednesday for his paw and his friend Maddison who is doing better.

Update on Lucy - she is still at the V-E-T where they are running blood tests. They have gotten rid of some of the fluid & are planning to take X-rays too. Hopefully she will be home soon.

Thoughts

We (Mom included) would like you to keep Lucy (her best friend's dog) in your thoughts/purrayers. Lucy had to go to the V-E-T today because she has fluid in her belly. They are running tests and watching her this weekend. This is the same friend who lost Ozzie the dalamation that we mentioned a few months ago.

We'd also like to thank everyone who answered our seven questions (see last post) and if you haven't answered please do so. Mom is going to help us with our responses to everyone this weekend.

Hello - Ghost here... Mom snapped my picture while I was napping in my cubby hole. We saw something on Oscar's blog that we want to try too. Please answer the following :
Things I want to know:
1. Your name or alias.
2. Your blog address if you have one.
3. How long have you been reading my blog?
4. Why do you keep reading? What makes you come back?
5. What do we have in common?
6. How are we different?
7. Something I don't know about you.

New Year's Resolutions & Other stuff

First here are our resolutions:

Ghost - sleep, eat & hiss at sisfur Mia
Mia - sleep, eat & annoy my sisfur Ghost
Mom - eat healther, exercise, sleep more & try not to let work stress me out (same ones I've had for last 8 years!!!)

We have been after Mom to help us more with our blog (opposable thumbs would make life so much easier). She promised to help us update our links because we have lots of friends we would like to add so if you would like to be linked please either leave a comment or send us an email at mia_and_ghost@yahoo.com - we hope Mom will be able to do this over the weekend. We also hope to have more pictures on our site in future however Ghost hates the camera which makes it difficult. Any suggestions on changes/improvements to site will be considered....

Hope everyone is having a good start to their 2006!!!

Purrthday!!!

Happy purrthday to Ryan!!! He is Mom's nephew - does that make him our cousin??? Anyway - happy 11th and we hope you have many more!!!

I was checking under the tree to make sure that I had opened all my presents! We hope everyone is having a good holiday season (whatever you celebrate). Mom is thinking about New Year's Resolution's - does anyone out there have any? We will share Moms when she gets home. She is suppose to be going to buy us food tonight.

Rainbow Bridge

Mom wanted to make sure everyone said a purrayer for & keeps Cowboy in their thoughts. We are sure he is hurting since Eppy went to the rainbow bridge. We are going to light a candle for her & say our purrayers....

Happy Purrthday!!!

Happy Purrthday to Mom!!!!

We've alrady given Mom the gift of our presence this morning. I sang for her this morning & Ghost hissed at her (wasn't very smart considering Mom was feeding us). Anyway...

Words from Mom

Mia and Ghost wanted me to update all our friends on how the family is holding up. We had a good Thanksgivng but it was a little depressing because we cleared out most of my Mother's clothing (it was a lot). Fortunately my sisters were able to help a great deal and most of the clothes were donated. Christmas is going to be hard again this year (last year Mother was in the hospital during Christmas)...

In other news... I'm working on my Christmas shopping. I always seem to get my neice & nephews a lot of stuff that they want... Speaking of the kids, I saw where the Poi Rats & Cats human sister Kinsey is being home schooled this year. My sister has home schooled all three of her children - she is still home schooling her 13 year old & 10 year old (my oldest nephew is in college). Hope that is working out well for Kinsey & her Mom.

Weather is bad here tonight (thunderstorms, tornado warnings, and high wind) so I need to sign off now. Hope everyone has a safe evening and that the storms pass through without causing any damage...

Mom took me to stabby place this morning!!! I had two sticks for vaccinations but then they did other things to me! And that mean old vet talked about my age & that I needed more dry cat food & less stinky goodness! All because I've lost weight. It not fair!!!!

A word from Mom

I've taken over the blog for today to thank everyone for their kind thoughts and purrayers. My Mom lost her battle with cancer and even though we miss her terribly - we are comforted by the knowledge that she is no longer in pain. I just got back from the funeral home not long ago and the number of people and flowers was overwhelming for myself and my family. Thanks to all of my friends & family for all the in person & online comforting thoughts & purrayers

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep
I am a 1,000 winds that blow
I am the diamond glints on snow
I am the sun on ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn rain
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled light
I am the soft star that shines at night
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there; I did not die.

Beau's Blog

. We hope you both have a wonderful day.

Happy Anniversary!

A word from our Mom...

I (and the cats) would like to wish my parents a very happy 49th wedding aniversary! That is a LONG time!!! I would like to also thank all my online friends (both human & feline) for all the prayers (or as the girls call them purrayers) for my family. Mother is still in a lot of pain and is now taking more pain medicine. I believe the pain medicine is helping Mother be more comfortable. Now back to the girls.... Jen


Mom is very concern about Gramma & we are doing as much as we can to help Mom feel better. Well at least I am - Ghost hisses at her. I think Ghost has athritis in her back paws causing them to hurt and to limp. I hope she feels better she is always grumpy if she has to go to the V-E-T.... Mia
