Sadieday Lesson

It was three years ago this week when Sadie taught us a lesson but we didn't get it until now.  She got a spiffy new feeder but of course she was quite used to and comfortable with her old one...

Even when it was pointed that the new feeder was so much better, she wasn't sure she wanted to leave her old one...

But then she tried it and discovered it had all of the same foods but in a much better package...

So what was the lesson we finally learned?  That although it can be very hard to leave something we've grown very comfortable with, sometimes change is most definitely for the better.  

We've just finished the first month of tax season and Mommy has not had one stressful day yet.  After she made the decision last year to leave an environment that made her miserable, every day has been a joy.  Oh sure there's the normal messy books and workpapers brought in by clients but what's different is no negativity or disrespect which was abundant before.  So, she left her comfort zone for something that has all the same tax stuff but in a much better package!   If there's something in your life that is bringing you down, make this the year for change.  We know it's hard but we also know it's well worth it!  

One thing that can change the day for you and others around you is to smile!  A smile can do wonders so spread them around often!

Have a Happy Sadieday and a great weekend!

Finally Friday

I know today will be the day that I'll finally pull the string off this tree...

Dagnabbit, it keeps slipping through my paws...

Okay, maybe I'll pull the string off another day...

Hey, why are you giggling Mommy? 

I could pull it off if I wanted to but I just don't want to.  That's my story and I'm sticking to it.  Just sayin.

Hope you do whatever you want to today!

Taste Test - Wellness Divine Duos

Finally a job that we like to do - taste testing!  We were asked by Chewy.com to try out Wellness Divine Duos with Chicken Pate and Diced Duck...

With a name that long we couldn't wait to give it a try...

We tasted it and one kitty tasted it even more...

She made sure they both tasted the same...

In the end, neither one of us licked our dish clean...

We tried it again the next day with even more left over which had to be tossed out.  We liked the gravy, sort of liked the pate but didn't like the chunks.  Mommy was hoping we'd like this food since it's grain free and has no corn, wheat, soy or artificial colors, flavors or preservatives.  Well, she's not the one who has to eat it and we just didn't like it.  There are other flavors of the Wellness Divine Duos that we might like so we'll give it another try.

We'd like to thank Chewy.com for this review opportunity!  They provided us with these foods but the opinions are all ours.  We may not have enjoyed this food but we love the service we always get from Chewy.com.  

If you haven't checked Chewy.com out yet, be sure and do so!

We hope you have a yummy filled day!

Always on Duty

A kitty's work is never done especially when Mommy isn't feeling well.  It's up to us to make sure she gets some rest...

Sometimes it's even a two kitty job...

She's starting to feel better, of course thanks to us.  It's a tough job but somekitty's got to do it.

We hope you are feeling great today!

Tortie Tuesday

When I was watching the Birdie Network the other day, Mommy thought my Tortie furs looked like a painting...

Of course I corrected her and told her I look like a Masterpiece.

Hope your day is a work of art!

New Napping Spot...

As we start another work week Mommy tried coming up with a solution to some floofy kitty's persistent meowing for attention.  The floofy kitty goes into the guest litter box and meows for Mommy to come in and turn on the faucet or pour water in the bathtub for her to bat as it goes into the drain.  She also wants the cabinet door open so Mommy had an 'aha' moment...

She put a comfy mat inside the cabinet hoping some floofy kitty would curl up in it and sleep.  Well, it sorta worked...

I may not be floofy but I sure am comfy...

Thanks some floofy kitty for getting me a nice cozy new napping spot!

Hope you have a cozy kind of day!

Finally Friday

Mommy worked more this week than she has since last tax season and it wore me out!  To compensate for my extra help, she let me have whiffs of fresh air...

It's still a little chilly out but it smelled so good I didn't care...

Window whiffin' is way more fun than Quickbooks and tax returns...

I think I'm going to need this kind of compensation every.single.day.  Just sayin.

Hope you have lots of fresh air this Friday!

Resisting Temptation

I can resist temptation if I want to...

Sometimes I just don't want to...

It's a rule that strings are to be batted.  Just sayin.

Hope you enjoy some temptation today!

Tortie Tuesday

It's Tortie Tuesday so you'd think I'd get to nap wherever I please, right?  Well, I like to sleep on Mommy's pillow but she complains about Tortie furs on her face at night.  Whatever.  Anyway, she gets up at o'dark thirty and attempts to pull up the covers but isn't always successful.  She must have radar because how else would she know I'm on her pillow...

Shoot.  I forgot to turn off my lasers!  She'll never see me now...

A Tortie always gets what she wants!

Hope you get what you want today too!

Weekend Wrap Up

Weekends go by so fast especially when I have lots to do.  This weekend I whiffed fresh air and soaked up a sunpuddle while watching the Birdie Network...

I gave my mousie a bath...

I also helped Mommy make beady goodies, held down the couch and fended off the sheet monster.  I'm glad it's Monday so I can finally relax...

Oh wait, there's tax returns to be done so no rest for this kitty!  It's a tough job but somekitty's got to do it!

Hope you get to relax today!

Hard Workin' Kitties

We are such hard working kitties but also so under appreciated.  It's not easy being a seat warmer but instead of being grateful, Mommy complains that she gets numb butt sitting on the edge of the chair.  I don't get it, I leave her plenty of room...

Even if we're being a lap warmer she complains that she can't reach half of her keyboard...

You just like to complain don't ya Mommy?

It's a tough job working so hard and not being appreciated but somekitty's got to do it.

We hope you're appreciated today!

WatchCat on Duty

I'm always on alert to what's going on outside our house.  I watch for birdies and introoder cats but I also watch Daddy when he goes to the mailbox...

Then I wait patiently for him to come back...

I know he appreciates my dutiful watching to make sure he always comes home safely.  It's a tough job being a WatchCat but somekitty's got to do it.

I hope you have lots to appreciate today!

Tortie Tuesday

I had a lot of fun celebrating my birthday.  I got extra treats and cuddles and I even got extra beautiful now that I'm 9 years old...

Of course I owe a lot of that to the extra beauty sleep I've had over the years.  Speaking of which...

It's time for some more of that beauty sleep so I remain extra beautiful for years to come!

Hope you enjoy extra beauty sleep today!

Isabella

Weekend Wrap Up

We hope you had a great weekend!  Isabella thanks everyone for the birthday wishes!  Mommy and Daddy went to the coast on Sadieday and Isabella asked them to bring home a birdie for her birthday but all she got was a picture of one...

Don't worry, since Daddy spoils her rotten he made sure the reception was perfect for her to enjoy plenty of birthday birdies on the Birdie Network...

Look at all the birdies!  We've never seen the big guy on the left before ever...

Told ya she was spoilt.  Thankfully she let me watch too...

Now if only we had sunpuddles.  If Daddy could get some for Isabella he would.  Yep, she's spoilt.  I'm not.  Just sayin.

How was your weekend?

Hope your day is filled with whatever you love!

Celebrating my Birthday on Sadieday!

Tomorrow, January 11th, is my 9th birthday but we're going to start the celebration today on Sadieday!  It's only right that a Tortie gets to celebrate her birthday for the entire weekend especially with crinkly paper!

I found my furever family when I was 10 months old so although there aren't any baby pictures of me, you can tell that I would've been an adorable baby Tortie...

Since I'm the birthday girl I get to make wishes so I wish for furever homes for all kitties and woofies, for plenty of food and warm shelter for all and for everyone to give a chance to others despite our differences...

I also wish for everyone to do something to bring a smile to your face today and hopefully to others too!  It doesn't take much effort to smile but that smile can brighten the day!  

Have a treat in my honor today!  Enjoy your weekend too!

Isabella

Finally Friday

After working longer hours for the first full week of tax season, thank Cod it's finally movie night...

Is this thing on?

Break out the blanket Mommy 'cause I'm ready to numb your feets!

Hope you enjoy your Friday!

Thankful Thursday

We have lots of things to be thankful for these days and today we'll show you one of them.  Last month our Mommy won a giveaway of an original piece of art from Lana at Lana's Art.  Mommy has always loved Lana's work so she was beyond thrilled to win!  She had a really hard time choosing one but I must say, she picked a really beautiful piece...

It's still in the protective covering to make sure Mommy doesn't get noseprints on it but we both give it our approval...

The painting is perfect for Mommy since it's about love and rain which pretty much sums up us in Oregon...

We love the beautiful painting very much!

If you love love, florals, fashion or travel, stop by Lana's shop to see all her lovely artwork!  You can also wear her art in a new collection at White House Black Market...

Thank you so much Lana!  We are very grateful and appreciate the painting very much!

We hope you have a lovely day too!
