Answers to Front Yard Questions

Thanks for all your wonderful comments about our yard. We thought we would try to answer some of your questions.

We saw lots of questions about the chickens. They are contained in their house so they don't bother us (other than the smell.) We don't get feathers to play with though or get to visit the chickens. The chicken houses use to belong to our family but we sold them off because they are lots of work.

Eric asked about Evil Intruder Kitties - there are some places to hide but BG (the woofie) keeps them out of the yard. Yes, there are some mices out there to chase.

To answer the question about size... we do have a large yard. Our house sits on a five acre plot of land so we have lots of land. We are able to have that much land because we live in country and used to have farm.

We hope we were able to answer your questions. We will try to post more pictures for all our friends who have all the snow since it is still nice outside today.

Front Yard

Derby was describing where he lived on his blog & we added our description but also thought ya'll might be interested in the view of our yard. This is our front yard. Those are fruit trees along the right side & you can see part of one of the chicken houses in the distance. Hope the sunshine makes those of you with lots of cold & snow feel warmer.

Oh... and Blogger made us switch to new version so please sign your comments so you don't show as annoyamouse. Thanks....

Thoughts for Thursday

Mom has been real busy with work & hasn't made time to help us post. We've been trying to keep up with everyone's blogs and leave comments but sometimes there aren't enough hours in day. So here are some random thoughts (1st two are serious) for Thursday from us & Mom :

1) We hope all our friends & their familes all recover and/or feel better soon. We think about ya'll a lot.

2) We want all friends who are looking for jobbies to find one that not only pays well & has benefits but also is as enjoyable as possible (Mom said most jobbies have good & bad days no matter what you do)

3) We wonder why their isn't mouse flavored cat food.

4) Are there seeing eye humans for blind dogs?

5) Do stairs go up or down?

6) Isn't it funny how the word 'politics' is made up of the words 'poli' meaning 'many' in Latin, and 'tics' as in 'bloodsucking creatures’?

7) Why is it that when things get wet they get darker, even though water is clear??

8) Why isn't chocolate considered a vegetable, if chocolate comes from cocoa
beans, and all beans are a vegetable?

9) If something "goes without saying," why do people still say it?

10) Why is the 0 on a phone after 1 and not before 1?

11) How come you pay an extra 25 cents to get something put on your hamburger but they don't take off the price if you get something taken off?

12) If all of the Acme stuff doesn't work, why does Wile Coyote keep buying their products?

Another White Cat Wednesday

Busted... Mom caught me scratching again. I have an owie like Miles. Mom is threatening to have my back claws trimmed (cause she said I don't have teethies to bite them off myself). I think will hide in case she gets any ideas.

Happy White Cat Wednesday! We also need to wish Mom's nephew Ryan a very happy 12th purrthday.

Here are our wishes for you

Merry Christmas!! (And Happy RamaHanuKwanzFest!)

We hope everyone has a very Happy Holiday (whatever you celebrate). We are wrapping presents today as you can see I'm having to snoopervise (thanks George for teaching us that word) the wrapping. We didn't get our wishlist in on Wednesday because Mom is slow but here is ours....

Ghost : all our blogging friends (beans as well as fluffies & feathers) to have good health & happiness, all homeless animals & beans to find a forever home to be safe & loved, Grilled Chicken Stinky Goodness (I did get some already for holiday - thanks Beau & Beau's Mom), and I'd like to wish for many more years of good health & love in my forever home.

Mia : I want what Ghost wants for our friends & other homeless beans & animals as well, Temptations (I already ate bag that Beau & his Mom sent me), fevery butt mousies, cat dancer and scratching pad.

BG : I also agree with Mia & Ghost about the wishes for friends, plus I want treats, new collor & ID tag (with this as my furever home on it), Mia & Ghost to like me or at least tolerate me, more play time & rides with Mom, someone to throw the ball to me until I'm tired, and more stuffed toys to tear apart (thank you Beau & Beau's Mom - I already removed the squeakers from Boo Boo & he only comes out for visits when Mom can watch me now).

Jen (AKA Mom) : I need to echo the girls about our friends. I'd also wish for good health & happiness for my family (fluffies & beans alike). Please everyone have a safe holiday season regardless of what you celebrate this time of year if anything at all. Now I must get back to wrapping gifts...

Mia, Ghost, BG & Jen

Tribute for Libby

Our furriend Libby went to the Rainbow Bridge this morning. We are sending purrs for her family. We found a poem for her.

Poem For Cats

And God asked the feline spirit
Are you ready to come home?
Oh, yes, quite so, replied the precious soul
And, as a cat, you know I am most able
To decide anything for myself.

Are you coming then? asked God.
Soon, replied the whiskered angel
But I must come slowly
For my human friends are troubled
For you see, they need me, quite certainly.

But don't they understand? asked God
That you'll never leave them?
That your souls are intertwined. For all eternity?
That nothing is created or destroyed?
It just is....forever and ever and ever.

Eventually they will understand,
Replied the glorious cat
For I will whisper into their hearts
That I am always with them
I just am....forever and ever and ever.

After Thanksgiving

We hope all our friends had a nice Thanksgiving (or just a nice Thursday for our friends from outside the US). We had lots of people in the house (too many if you ask us) but lots of good food. Ohhh... Miles would be excited because ham came to our house (we think there might be some left if anyone would like some). But we learned something! Mom & our Aunt Gail know how to cook a turkey!!!! It is delicious... We have been eating on it since Thursday but there isn't much left. It is unseasonably warm and pretty down here so if anyone is cold and miserable come on down... Time to take a nap before having turkey for dinner....

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz ~ Mia, Ghost & BG

Update : in answer to Victor's question... you don't have to be cold or miserable to come visit. All our blogging friends are welcome any time. It is 67 degrees here with cloudy skies (might rain later).

Thankful

I am thankful for not having to worry about when I will get to eat, being able to nap without fearing that something will hurt me & for my family who loves & understands me even when I hiss & growl when I am remembering my days while I was on my own ~ Ghost

I am thankful for having lots of good food (milk, BBQ & temptations, etc...), my family (even the woofie) and having all these nice safe napping spots ~ Mia

I am thankful for finding a home where I'm loved, long rides in car, lots of good food & my family ~ BG

We are all thankful for our friends (especially our blogging buddies) and family. And our safe, warm furrever home that we hope all fluffies will experience... Hope all our American friends experience a safe & happy Thanksgiving & all our friends know how much they mean to us no matter where they are in the world ~ Ghost, Mia, BG & Jen

We'd like to know what everyone is thankful for and if ya'll are planning already for the holidays...

Updates by Mia

Meow... Mia here... it has been a while since we posted & we wanted to let everyone know it is Mom's fault that we haven't blogged recently. Some bad anniversaries & lots of work has Mom way behind on stuff. But enough about her... I'm feeling better but still not gaining any weight. Mom said something about it being time for the rabies shot but I don't want to go! I've been keeping busy demanding to be fed (BBQ is wonderful) & looking out the windows. Ghost has been busy sleeping & hissing - she doesn't even like to come out of her room very much now. The woofie who lives here now stays outside most of the time so as not to bother us. She came in the other day & I chased her out. Anyway, we have been trying to keep up with everyone's blogs but it is hard when Mom isn't around. Hope ya'll are all doing well.... Purrs...

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..................
