Long Weekend Wrap Up

We had quite the weekend around here! We made sure Mommy had the purrfect long birthday weekend beginning on Thursday when Daddy took her to her most favorite place on the Oregon coast - Cape Lookout...
She loves how the super tall trees and rocky cliffs go right down to the wide sandy beach. So, good for Daddy for kicking the weekend off right! Her birthday on Friday was great too but it rained on Saturday so Isabella discussed what to do to keep the good things happening...
I decided to help Mommy make a beach glass bracelet for herself. I thought it'd be fun for her to start her squizillion and seventh year off with change so I told her to randomly choose beads to use for her bracelet. Well, sometimes change isn't so good. Our CPA too much left brain perfectionist Mommy nearly had a panic attack trying to be random! Each silver and beach glass bead is different in each row but she survived and I think it turned out okay...
The rain ended in time for Mommy to make another change on Saturday - she attended her first Oregon state fair plus she attended her first country music concert with Daddy and her friend Laura. She doesn't listen to country music so she and Daddy were the only two in the audience who didn't know the songs but Gary Allan did put on a good show...
Before the concert, the two ladies in front of them took elebenty hundred selfies so Mommy kept leaning to the left or right trying to stay out of their pics. Well, since this is the year of change, Mommy decided to be silly and starting waving in the pics. At first the ladies didn't notice but when they did, they found it funny so they took this pic with Mommy (in black) and Laura (the innocent bystander)...
Yesterday we finished up a necklace to go with the blingy No-No bracelet from last week but mostly we relaxed and savored the remaining weekend. We're not sure how much more change Mommy can handle this year but we'll see. At least she enjoyed her birthday and part of that is from your birthday wishes last week so thank you!

What did you do this weekend?

Hope you have a wonderful week!

Birthday Celebration!

Today is our Mommy's squizillion and seventh birthday!
She won't be getting a puppy today but we sure hope she gets something with frosting or a box or crinkly paper! We might even let her sleep in. Maybe.

We're going to enjoy a long weekend celebrating her birthday with lots of cuddles, scritches and treats!

Happy Birthday Mommy!

So Now You Need Our Help Huh?

Mommy made a No-No bracelet this week which we're not allowed to help with for some reason. When we get around all those little beads she says No-No a lot. Anyway, when she finished the bracelet and needed to take photos for the recipient, guess who she came looking for. Yep, that's right! Us! Well, we told her No-No...
Nope, no cooperation from us at all...
She ended up taking pictures of it without us...
Not quite as cute is it? That'll teach her to not let us help even if there are 1,420 beads in that one bracelet. She wouldn't miss one or ten if we helped. Nope, not at all.

Don't you think we should be able to help with the whole beady process?

Hope there aren't any No-No's in your day!

Tortie Tuesday

I know it's Tortie Tuesday but I'm not ready for it. I can't think of anything to say...
I'm thinking so hard my head is heavy...
I hate it when that happens.

Do you ever run out of things to say?

Hope you have more to say than I do today!

Weekend Wrap Up

We hope you had a good weekend! We helped pick out beads for a no-no bracelet for Mommy to make (we're not allowed to help with the actual bracelet hence the name no-no). Other than that, we did a lot of snuggling...
Well, one of us snuggled, the other was smooshed...
Ahhh, that's better...
It's not like there's no other beds in the house. It's a good thing she's cute!

What'd you do this weekend?

Hope you enjoy a snuggly day!

Finally Friday!

Hey Isabella, it's Friday! Aren't you ready for movie night tonight? Daddy might even give you a piece of popcorn. Won't that be worth waking up for?
Alright, I'm up - for Daddy, not the movie or popcorn. Well, maybe...
Oh, sorry, Bella. I didn't mean for you to get up right now - it's not night yet. Usually it takes you hours to wake up so I was just giving you a heads up in case you forgot what day it was.
What?
Okay. In that case. Wake me when it's really time to get up...
A Tortie can't be skimping on her beauty sleep even if it is for popcorn Daddy!

Hope you have a Friday worth waking up for!
Happy weekend too!

Tortie Tuesday

It's Tortie Tuesday but yesterday was National Black Cat Appreciation Day. You'd think I would've got to blog both yesterday AND today but did I? Nope! Can you tell how I feel about that?
What's that Mommy? I'm appreciated every day? I guess that's true, I am! 
You wanna show me your appreciation by bringing me treats please?
We know our friends appreciate kitties of all colors every day of the year especially
Torties on Tuesday! Right now I'd appreciate those treats Mommy. Make it snappy!

We appreciate your visits every day!

Wayward Sunpuddle?

Okay sunpuddle, I'm giving you one more chance. I'm going to cover my eyes and count to three and you better be covering my floofy body. Are you ready?
One...
Two...
Three...
Ugh! You're still not covering my floofyness!
You know it's Monday when even the sunpuddles don't work!

Hope your sunpuddles cooperate today!

Am I Distracting?

As you know, our Mommy telecommutes to Colorado from her office right here at home so she can spend time with us we can help her do all her CPA stuffs. For some reason though she says I distract her with my cuteness...
I don't think I'm distracting, she just has a short attention span. Oh hey, there's birdies!
Yeah, okay, I get her point. Guess that's why we make such a great tax team!

It's a tough job being cute but somekitty's got to do it!

Hope you have a great Friday and a Happy weekend!

Tortie Taste Test

When I woke up from my nap, Mommy asked me if I wanted to taste test Blue Wilderness Chicken and Salmon Grain Free treats from Chewy.com. Are you kidding? I sure do!
These treats are made in the USA with real chicken and salmon - no by-product meals, no corn, wheat or soy and no artificial preservatives, colors or flavors. They smell good too!
The Blue Wilderness Chicken and Salmon treats are also soft and in a fairly small size which works for me since I don't chew my foods...
My verdict is these treats are lip smacking good!
In case you're wondering, my little sisfur Angel gave the Blue Wilderness Chicken and Salmon treats four paws up too...
We both still liked them after a week which is the real test since we've been known to like something one day but turn our nose up at it the next. That's our prerogative - we're cats.

Thank you Chewy.com for giving us the opportunity to review these yummy treats! If you haven't ordered from Chewy.com yet, we hope you check them out when you need foods, treats, litter or toys delivered right to your door! They even have auto delivery and free delivery on all orders over $49!

Do you like Blue Wilderness treats?

We hope you have a treat filled day!
Isabella

Disclaimer: Chewy.com sent us one package of Blue Wilderness Chicken and Salmon Grain Free treats for free. We received no other compensation. This did not influence our opinion since we only like what we like and we liked these!

Tortie Tuesday

It's Tortie Tuesday so once again it's all about me! Who am I kidding. It's always about me! Anyway, as I showed you last week, my little sisfur Angel got a scratcher for her birthday but I got something too. I got her old, broken in scratcher (meaning I didn't have to do any work to make it purrfect), crinkly paper and a box...
So, who is the lucky one in that deal?
Angel can go ahead and make the popcorn popping sound on her new scratcher but this is truly the bestest second hand gift ever...
Supposedly Mommy thinks it's going out in the recycle bin but not on Tortie Tuesday it's not! 
Oh wait, recycle day is Tuesday which means it's never going out in the recycle bin ever!
Yes it is Bella! You have a squizillion other things to lay on, we don't need that in the house!
Whatever Mommy. Just wait until Daddy sees me. This box will be mine forever! Or at least until I'm done with it. Just sayin.

Hope you get an unexpected present today too!

Weekend Wrap Up

What a weekend! We celebrated for three days straight! Well, okay so we slept a lot but we did enjoy celebrating Mommy and Daddy's 27th anniversary and World Cats Day on Sadieday! Thanks to everyone for your comments Friday too! In addition to our celebrating and sleeping, Daddy took Mommy to her happy place - the Oregon coast...
She loves being at the coast so that put pressure on me to find the perfect anniversary gift. I decided to get her something she totally wouldn't expect...
That's right! I got the coolest little green wiggly worm ever! Well, at least it used to wiggle... 
Come on little guy, wiggle!
Okay, so he didn't wiggle but it sure made Mommy squirm! She was so happy with it she put it somewhere special. I wouldn't tell her where I got it from but she doesn't want me to bring anymore to her since she thinks one is more than enough. Isn't that silly?

Anyway, we hope you had a good weekend too! What did you do?

Hope you enjoy something unexpected today!

August 8th Eve

We're so glad it's finally Friday! Our week was full of Torties and tomatoes...
And cooler temps resulting in open windows and piles of floofyness..
Our weekend will be filled with celebrating Mommy and Daddy's anniversary on Sadieday, August 8th...
Of course we'll be celebrating World Cat Day too...
Since we have so much to celebrate, we're taking a long weekend to enjoy it all! 

We hope you enjoy your weekend too!

Tortie Tuesday

Happy Tortie Tuesday everyone! Before I get started, Angel wanted me to pass along her thanks for all the birthday wishes yesterday. We all made sure she had a great day which she certainly did. She even got a new scratcher for her birthday present. I've never quite got the grasp of a scratcher but she loves them and uses them up quite quickly. She was so happy to get a new one. Even though I don't understand it, I was glad she was so happy...
She's not on it yet today so I thought I'd see what's so great about the scratcher. I have claws but I don't make the popcorn popping sound like she can - mine sounds like a whole bunch of duds - but I can put my tail up in the air...
I'm doing all the same things she does but I just don't get it...
Even my tail is getting heavy...
Holy carp this is hard work...
Okay, that's enough of that. I'll use the scratcher my own way...
Scratchers are way too much work - this Tortie needs a nap! 

Do you use a scratcher or do you prefer naps?

Hope you don't work too hard this Tortie Tuesday!
Isabella
