Happy New Year's Eve!

Another year is coming to a close and it's a time to reflect and make resolutions. We're taking time to reflect although from my vantage point, I don't see any need for any resolutions...

Things are pretty purrfect from my vantage point too...

That settles it, we won't be making any resolutions this year! We also won't be staying up until midnight - will you?

We will make wishes for everyone to have a Happy New Year filled with happiness, smiles and treats!

Happy New Year's Eve!

Remember to party responsibly!

Tortie Tuesday

It's the last Tortie Tuesday of the year so I wanted it to be a good one but Mommy is making me show one of our Christmas presents. It's a funky colored snake...

Or maybe it's a scarf...

Or a lasso?

Oh I know what it is - it's annoying!

Show off.

How about I show our comfy bed...

I love our new bed. The snake/scarf/lasso/thing-a-ma-bob - not so much.

Hope you got something for Christmas you love!

Holiday Wrap Up

We hope you had a wonderful holiday weekend! We had a quiet weekend filled with relaxation...

Sunshine...

And some Birdie TV...

Santa was good to us too and brought us toys, a gingerbread house and a bed...

Actually he got us two beds since someTortie hogged one of them. Santa is awesome!

We have an all day webinar today and Wednesday so we'll catch up on our naps tax knowledge in time for tax season next week.

What did Santa bring you?

Hope you enjoy your day!

Merry Christmas Eve!

It's Christmas Eve! We're not quite ready for it to be here already but yet I'm not quite ready for this photo shoot either...

Excuse me while I check a few things back here...

Okay, now I forgot what I was doing...

Oh yes, a photo shoot, that's what it was. 

Hey Angel, shouldn't you be in this Christmas photo too?

That's not quite what I had in mind...

Oh well. I'm finally ready...

Even though we don't have a tree or any decorations this year, we already have the most important thing for this holiday - each other!

We hope you have a wonderful holiday filled with family, friends and lots of love!

Merry Christmas to all of you from all of us!

Wordless Wednesday - One of Mommy's Favorite Holiday Photos

Tortie Tuesday

It's been nearly a month since my dental surgery to remove all my bad teefs so imagine my surprise when Mommy told me I got a gift from the Tooth Fairy weeks ago...

She claims she didn't tell me earlier because my mouth was healing and also I had a kitty cold and she didn't want me to get germies on the gifts which could get my little sisfur sick since the card says I should share. Whatever...

Anyway, I did get the Tooth Fairy's gifts and they are lots of fun!

They even turned me into an upside down Tortie wiggly worm...

And per the Tooth Fairy's request, I even shared with my little sisfur...

Many thanks to the Tooth Fairy (aka Ellen and her 14 kitties)! 

I appreciate you thinking of me and I love the toys! 

I hope your Tortie Tuesday feels as blessed as mine does!

How Many Days Until Christmas?

This was supposed to be the year that Mommy would get everything for Christmas done early so she could enjoy the season since in years past she dreaded the holiday because tax season was right around the corner. So, did she succeed? Nope. This weekend was a whirlwind until I finally took matters into my own paws...

Sure she may have been thinking about everything she had yet to do but she couldn't move until I decided she could move. Oh don't worry, I did let her up long enough to go shopping for our presents at least! 

Hope your week is off to a festive start!

Finally Friday

After a busy week, we're glad it's Friday! We're so far behind on getting ready for Christmas that I hope Santa Claws doesn't pass us by! We had to work this week but we also had two days of webinars. One day was just two hours but yesterday was a squizillion eight long, grueling hours. No kitty should know as much about capital gains tax and S-corporations as I do now...

I had to watch it because somemommy procrastinated and needed 34 CPE credits before the end of the year. If you subtract out the ten hours of classes we had this week that means we have three more mind numbing eight hour classes in the next two weeks. Ay yi yi. Anyway, besides all that, I also helped make some Christmas presents too...

Mommy complained when I was sitting on her like that.

How's this Mommy? Can I sit here?

More complaints. Yeah, I know, she should be grateful. *sigh* A bit of good news I guess, I finally like my sisfur again and am actually cuddling with her...

It could be because it's super rainy, dark and cold here but it's mainly because Santa is watching I missed cuddling with her. Isabella is feeling a lot better and even plays with me more. Even though she lost all her teefs, she's still able to eat everything including Greenies. She was visited by the Tooth Fairy and we will be showing what she got when somemommy finds the time to help us get photos and blog about it. Anyway, after all that you can see why I'm so glad it's Friday! We hope you are too!

Are you all ready for Christmas or do you need another couple of weeks to be ready like we do?

Hope you have a relaxing weekend!

Tortie Tuesday

Today is Tortie Tuesday but it's also a flashback day because I'm thinking of our angel sisfur Sadie. It would've been her 15th birthday today so I know she's at the Rainbow Bridge watching over us...

We have a picture of her at her favorite place on the coast watching over us every day...

Not a day goes by that we don't think of her and we all miss her very much. Time does heal some of the pain but it will never take away our memories of her smile.

On this Tortie Tuesday in honor of Sadie, be sure to wear a smile and spread it to others. She'd like that very much.

Hug someone you love today!

We're Back!

We're back from our blogcation! We missed everyone! We had a really good time with our Grandpa from Kansas while our Mommy and Daddy went to California to visit the mouse with red shorts...

They went there to celebrate Daddy's birthday last Monday, the 60th anniversary of Disneyland and of course the holidays. Mommy said it was more magical than ever...

In addition to all the celebrations, what really made it special for Mommy was she finally saw one of the 200 feral kitties of Disneyland! This beautiful Tortie was near the Grizzly River Run in California Adventure...

She turned out to be not quite so feral since Mommy got to scritch her...

Whatever. We got scritched a lot right here from our Grandpa from Kansas! Isabella also loved snuggling with him...

And I loved playing curtain monster with him. I was between the window and the curtain and the monster would 'get' me...

It appears we all had a great week and we hope you did too! We're getting back to normal around here but hope to catch up as soon as we can. Thanks for your patience!

Did anything exciting happen to you last week?

Enjoy your Monday!

A Little of This and That...

It's been a whirlwind around here but finally it's a good whirl. Isabella is sneezing just a few times a day and has one eye that remains a little watery but she's back to lounging the day away...

And making sure somemommy doesn't sleep in and miss breakfast...

We haven't got a Christmas tree yet but Mommy's friend helped her make a wreath so at least the outside of our house looks a little festive...

Inside we've been cleaning house because our Grandpa from Kansas is coming today to visit us! I was on the lookout for sheet monsters so he'd be safe...

Since he's coming I better rest up so I'm ready to be scritched and doted on...

I made you squee didn't I? My mommy squees all. the. time. I'm so cute she can hardly stand it. Anyway, we're going to take a blogcation while our Grandpa from Kansas is here so we'll be back on December 14th. Until then, we hope all goes well with all of you!

Enjoy the next week!

The Reason We Don't Have Curtains...

Whatever.

Tortie Tuesday

It's Tortie Tuesday! For awhile I wasn't sure I was going to feel well enough to do my post today but I am. No one is happier about that than my Daddy...

Okay, I have to admit that even though I'm a Daddy's girl, I ran from him for a few days because he's the one who gave me the horrible medicine! I know I hurt his feelings but I finally realized he was helping me get better so when I snuggled beside him on the chair I totally made his day week month year! I love my Daddy!

Be sure to let others know how much you appreciate them even when they're doing something for our own good even if we don't like it.

Hope you have a Happy Tortie Tuesday!

Weekend Wrap Up

We sure needed last weekend around here. Of course it was a long holiday weekend but that didn't matter since Mommy was sick and Isabella was really, really sick. We all felt bad for Bella because of her stuffed up nose, runny eyes and lethargy. She made Cod awful noises while breathing and her sneezes could be heard from anywhere in the house. Mommy thought she needed fresh air so even though it was barely 40 degrees outside, we both got fresh air - from our own windows of course...

Because of Mommy needing to rest up for her show today, I put a stop to any more beady goodie making...

Whatever inventory we had is what she's taking today including all these earrings...

And there's even some journals in this box...

The break must have helped because both Mommy and Isabella were feeling better yesterday. Isabella played with a piece of soft fleece and even tried to bite it so her mouth must be better too! She is still stuffed up and sneezing but not near as bad as she was. She even felt well enough to notice the introoder Dooney in our yard...

Daddy and I are glad both of them are finally on the mend. Mommy is a lousy patient anyway let alone when she is up most the night listening to Isabella. Sick plus tired equals cranky! The mood did lighten considerably when Isabella played and was more alert yesterday. I'm still staying away from her and I promise to leave her alone today while Mommy is at her show too. We do want to pass along thanks for all the purrs!

How was your weekend?

Hope you're doing well today!

PeeS: Mommy here: We don't know what caused the cuts on Isabella's nose and probably never will. The dental specialist is at a different vet's office than our regular one and she pretty much said any follow up will be done with our regular vet who I talked to on Friday. I told her about Isabella's nose and she was pretty shocked and didn't know what would've caused it unless whatever was used to give Isabella the inhaler twice during the procedure had a sharp edge that cut her. She was concerned about Isabella's URI but knew the Clavamox would start working which it finally did. Isabella has been eating her wet food since the night of her dental but we hadn't seen her drink water until yesterday. The vet had said that drinking or eating closes off the only way she could breathe so we could expect to see her back off of those. Isabella certainly didn't back off from food though which was a good sign so seeing her drink was a great sign! Her daddy and I feel so bad for putting her through all this but it's a relief knowing her teeth won't hurt her any more and she'll never have to go through another dental again! Now if we can just keep Angel from catching the URI all will be great once again!
