Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween! Hope everyone has a safe one.

Who thought it would be a good idea to change the clocks??? My tummy alarm goes off at same time no matter what Mom's clock says! Probably a human idea.

We have been busy helping take care of Gramma lately. Mom says it is hard to watch someone you love suffer with the pain that Gramma is having. Please keep Gramma in your purrayers & thoughts.

Things We Agree On

Mom said that we could list some things we agree on... like we both like Stinky Goodness & naps. We are interested in your favorites too - what are your favorite foods & toys? We will list ours too but will wait & see what our poodie friends say first.

When we did our 5 things list, Mom made us choose different crushes so we want to list five that we agree on as well... Beau, Jasper McKitten, Mattingly, Oreo & Timothy Dickens.

Mia's Five things to come....

Gramma Update!

We haven't given many Gramma updates lately because there hasn't been much change. Things have gotten worse right now since Gramma isn't getting much sleep now. We hope our friends will remember Gramma in their thoughts and/or purrayers....

This is me (Mia) doing what Mom calls making Gramma's hospital bed more comfy. Gramma wasn't on the bed at the time.

See my new scratchy pad!!! It has some great catnip on it. Mom said I'd better use it and not the couch to scratch on.

This is Gramma's hospital bed at home. I was checking it out before she came home. But now I can't get on it cause Gramma is home!!! Thanks to all our poodie friends for the purrayers but please keep her in them cause she is still very weak.

Hello.... Gramma's hairballs (what's that - Mom said it was congestion that caused Gramma to cough not hairballs) are clearing up some so we hope she gets to come home soon. It very tiring waiting for everyone to get here to feed us!

Gramma Update

Gramma is still at the hospital. Initially they thought she had pneumonia and gave her antibiotics but after another X-ray the doctors didn't see much of a sign of it. She does sound like she has fluid in the lungs and is getting breathing treatments for that. Last year our Gramma was diagnosed with cancer & she hasn't been feeling very good since then. Mom is very worried about Gramma and we all appreciate your concern and purrayers.

Happy Purrthday!!!

Happy Purrthday to Nicholas (Mom's youngest nephew)!!! We hope he had good day with lots of toys & treats.

Gramma Update : Our Gramma has been admitted to the human hospital. They think she might have pneumonia (x-rays were inconclusive). She has been given some antibiotics & fluids. As of last night... no new tests have been scheduled for her. Mom is going to check on her in a little while. We (and Mom) want to thank all of our poodie (and their peoples) for all the concern, good thoughts & purrayers. We appreciate them.

Greetings... Mia here.... I was just sitting here guarding my Gramma. She is very sick & Mom is very worried. We are saying our purrayers for her and watching over her. All this guarding is making me sleepy. Ghost can take her turn while I nap.

Gramma Update: Monster on wheels with flashing lights came and Gramma & Granddad on way to hospital. We don't know anything else. We miss Mom (who is at work).

Hi, Ghost here... Mom finally got a more recent picture of me up. As you can see I am missing my left eye. It got all infected and vet had to remove it. I'm much happier now cause it doesn't hurt. Mom said the picture looks a little fuzzy but that is okay because I am fuzzy.

Mia's Side of Story

Finally... Mom lets me tell my side. I'm being unjustly accused of crimes. I was just helping Mom work when the X key flew off the laptop. Mom said they were going to need blood for her cholestral test - how was I to know that it wasn't until next week. I was just trying to help. Now that is all cleared up I need a nap.

Mia

Hello, Ghost here... Mom told me that I could post because Mia got into trouble this morning. I'm just laying around hoping for good things for all the poodies, people & other animals affected by the Katrina thing. Hope everyone has a nice relaxing day. I'm going back to my nap now.

Helping Mom

Hi, we've been helping our Mom today. She had to go to the store to buy cat & people food plus some other things. When she got back we helped her put up things & Mia helped her eat the pork from the Roasted Pork w/ mushrooms (she picked up Chinese on way home). Mom's Aunt called and said that her church was housing some evacuees from Katrina so we helped get some clothes together to send to them. Mom said she was going to see if there was anything else she could do or send to help. Its been a busy day - time to take a nap.....

Hurricane Katrina Relief

A word from our Mom....

Hello to all our poodies (and their peoples) friends. Fortunately we live in an area that wasn't terribly impacted by Hurricane Katrina. Close to where I work ws devastated by tornados leveling houses, chicken houses & injurying several people seriously. We know that Max is being very generous in donating profits from his book to the Red Cross. Check out Max's site

The PsychoKitty Speaks Out

Please keep the families affected by this disaster in your thoughts & prayers as well as donating money or blood if possible.

Thanks - Mia & Ghost's Mom (Jen)

And back to the poodies! Whew... Mom sure is long winded today. She at home again. Place she works is allowing people to work from home cause of gasoline issues. We are glad to have her here but helping her is a lot of work. We need a nap!!!

Weather

I'm sure most of your peoples have seen the news about something named Katrina that hit the Gulf states yesterday. Mom was just thinking that we were pretty lucky with the tornados that came through that none of our family was hurt nor their property majorly damaged. All poodies please stay dry & keep your people safe.

Hello - helping Mom work from home is a lot of work. I had to rest some before we have lunch. Gramma got sick again last night and could not eat. We hope she can eat lunch with us (but we don't want what she is having).

Hello - lots of things have been happening and Mom hasn't had time to help us post. Well, Mom's servers at work seem to be feeling better so I guess the buggies have gone away. Wonder if someone chased them? Anyway, we have been busy girls taking care of our Gramma. She hasnt been feeling very good lately and is starting to get discouraged about her health. Mom & Granddad have been trying to cook things she likes recently. We have gotten to taste them. The chicken & dumplings were great except we didn't care for the dumpling part. Then Mom made stuffed chicken & let us try it. I (Mia) liked it a lot. Now we check everytime they cook to see if it is something good. They are starting to call us spoiled! Hmmph - we just like variety.
