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..................

Hello

Hello everyone... my name is B.G. (short for baby girl). I am the new resident in Alabama living with Mia & Ghost. They don't like it very much but I'm staying! We are kept separate as much as possible. Anyway, I'm about 2 years old and am a Jack Russell woofie. I like to ride in monsters with wheels, belly rubs & chasing tennis balls ~ B.G.

Formerly Feral Friday

A long time ago, Mom saw this little dirty white cat running across the yard into the pasture. She at first thought it might be Blanket (the one who came before me as he just had disappeared several weeks earlier). But no it was a small hungry dirty little white kitty who didn't trust humans at all. So Mom started feeding me & watching from inside to make sure I ate then she started staying outside with me while I ate. Finally after while I finally got close enough for Mom to touch. I finally felt safe enough to take a bath & she saw my beautiful white fur. Now almost 12 years later I am an inside cat who still will growl & hiss at everyone but I know in my heart that Mom won't let anyone hurt me & though I have had a rough life I'm very grateful to have landed my furrever home. I hope all the feral kitties out there are as lucky as me...

Ghost

Mia Update

The dread pirate blogger won't let me upload any pictures but Mia wanted to at least give all her friends an update since ya'll have been asking after her.

Hi, ya'll... I survived the visit to the vet. They poked & proded at me then sent me home with 10 days worth of medicine that I just finished (YUCK!). I'm feeling a little better and seem to be eating more. The vet is concerned about my heart & liver so Mom will call him back in less than 2 weeks to tell him how I am doing. I might have to go back. Purrs ~ Mia

Anyone know how to get rid of a woofie? Purrs ~ Ghost

Hi, everyone... I'm the newbie around here. I'm a woofie & I'm staying no matter how mad that makes Mia & Ghost. I haven't told Mom my name yet but I answer when she calls me Baby Girl. The vet said that I am around 2 years old & am a Jack Russell woofie. Woof ~ B.G. (Baby Girl)

Updates from Ghost

Hi, everyone... Ghost here... I'm giving updates on things down here in Alabama so here goes. Mia has appointment with V-E-T tomorrow to have blood work done to see why she is losing weight. The intruder looks to have taken up permanent residence on the car port. We may let her introduce herself later but right now she is tired because she has just gotten back from the V-E-T herself. Bathrooms are finally pretty much complete so no more noise from that for now. I'm doing fine and Mom is pretty busy with work so there is your update from down here. Hope everyone is well and now I need to take a nap!

Goodbye Ullrick

Our tribute to Ullrick - you were gone much too soon our friend. Please go here to read more about Ullrick

ONLY THE BEST

A heart of gold stopped beating,
two shining eyes at rest,
God broke our hearts to prove,
He only takes the best.

God knows you had to leave us,
but you did not go alone,
for part of us went with you,
the day He took you home.

To some you are forgotten,
to others just part of the past,
but to us who loved and lost you,
the memory will always last.

Our Furriend Luna is Home

We would like everyone to know LUNA IS HOME!!!! Purrs & headbutts for Luna & her family - we are so glad you found each other again! We think we should throw her a welcome home party when she gets settled back in.

In other news, the woofie is still outside. It is beginning to look like she is staying. Will post more on her later....

This is the intruder at our house. It is still here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Back Home but still noisy

Ghost : Pssst... Mia - you still under the couch?

Mia : Yes, I'm still here. Don't you hear all the banging? I hate construction

Ghost : Have you seen the thing that is outside?

Mia : Yeah, Mom showed me through the door - you seen it too?

Ghost : Yeah, I was going outside to look around and ran right into it. Turned around & came back in. Haven't been out since. Do you think Mom will keep it?

Mia : I don't know - hope not... oh, they stopped banging for now. I need to take nap. Zzzzzzzzzzzzz

Ghost : Zzzzzzzzzzzzz

Teleporting Away from Noise

We are teleporting to our furriend's house today to get away from all the noise!

Mia & Ghost

Word from Mom :
Mia & Ghost are quite upset because there is work going on at the house and their world has been turned upside down by noise and where they are allowed to go and not go during the day. Hopefully by end of next week the work will be done & their worlds will be back in line so they will stop complaining.

Tribute to Trixie

To Those I Love

by Isla Paschal Richardson

If I should ever leave you,
Whom I love
To go along the silent way. . .
Grieve not.
Nor speak of me with tears.
But laugh and talk of me
As if I were beside you there.

(I'd come. . .I'd come,
Could I but find a way!
But would not tears and
And grief be barriers?)

And when you hear a song
Or see a bird I loved,
Please do not let the thought of me
Be sad. . .for I am loving you
Just as I always have. . .

You were so good to me!
There are so many things
I wanted still to do. . .
So many things I wanted to say
to you. . . Remember that
I did not fear. . . It was
Just leaving you
That was so hard to face.

We cannot see beyond. . .
But this I know:
I loved you so. . .
'twas heaven here with you!

We will all miss you Ms Trixie but know you, Ralph & Norton are having a good time at Rainbow Bridge & continue to watch over your family.

Mia, Ghost & Jen

5 Weird Things/Habits

We got tagged by Edsel on this thing that's going around. We have to give 5 wierd things we & Mom do, and pass it along to five more bloggers. You have to notify them they've been tagged and then they carry it on. They have to make sure they tell these instructions on the blog.
Mia:
1. Has to know where Mom and/or Granddad is at all times if they are in house
2. Knows that 9:00pm is when Mom makes Ghost comes in if she has gone outside
3. Tries to sneak out of house but is scared of outside
4. Wants to go to bed every night at 10:30pm - gets mad if she has to wait long after that
5. Has been hiding because of all the noise in the basement

Ghost:
1. Hates being picked up
2. Likes to lay outside on the car port but wants door to the house open just in case she needs to come in
3. Hisses at Mia if they are in same room (they have lived together since 1995)
4. Kind of a loner. Likes to find out of the way places to sleep. Like behind the washing machine
5. Has to endure having nails clipped cause she has had ingrown claw before and can't bite her back claws off

Mom:
1. Looks at computer all day and calls it work
2. Reads books, lots of books, in her spare time.
3. Listens to lots of different kinds of music
4. Talks to the computer (she said that wasn't weird that everyone at work did it but we think it is weird)
5. Shops way too much (we think she has a shoe fetish especially for boots)

If anyone who hasn't played wants to - consider yourself tagged. Thanks Edsel this was fun!
