This and That

It was a whirlwind weekend around here but progress was made on Christmas preparations. Packages were mailed today, our cards should arrive today so we can mail them tomorrow and only one more beady goody needs to be made for a gift. We bought our packages for Daddy already but Mommy needs to get him something. We're pretty sure it won't be a reindeer truck with a dog...

All this present stuff reminded us of a story about gifts Daddy bought in Disneyland for his minions employees. He got small packages of Mickey shortbread cookies and he had all 10 of them plus a bigger package for our Grandpa from Kansas in his carry on to avoid them being broken in the luggage. Anyway, his bag was picked to be searched by the Orange County airport TSA because they could not figure out what they were seeing on their x-ray thingy. While they were swiping the cookies and testing them for explosives, Daddy was telling the guy they were for his employees and that he'd get in trouble if he didn't bring them anything. The TSA guy kinda broke a smile but stayed tough during all the testing. Who knew Mickey cookies could look dangerous...

Anyway, we're glad this weekend is over because we were pretty stressed about it...

Now we can relax and enjoy the rest of the holidays before you know what starts again in January.

How was your weekend?

Hope your week is off to a great start!

We're Back!

We hope everyone had a great week! We've had fun with our Grandpa from Kansas and our Mommy and Daddy had fun in her happy place, Disneyland...

And California Adventure...

They had fun riding the rides, seeing the shows and watching the parades...

The reindeer in the holiday parade always makes Mommy giggle. She's weird. Anyway, they got home Friday and on Saturday everyone except us went to Heceta Head B&B for the Victorian Christmas...

It's all lit up for the holidays and it's open for people to come inside to see Santa and sing Christmas carols. They had a good time. It's Mommy's second happy place...

Our Grandpa from Kansas will be going home tomorrow so we'll enjoy him while we can...

He gives awesome scritches and takes excellent care of us! We're going to miss him but we're glad Mommy and Daddy are home. We'll be catching up with our blog friends soon too!

How was your week?

Hope you enjoy your Monday!

Deja Vu

We're posting a re-run from 2012 because even though it's five years old, it's happening all over again today. Hope you enjoy this look back at what's new here!

*******************************

The Big Red Box has appeared and for some silly reason Mommy and Daddy think they are gonna take it somewhere sunny.  That is if I decide to get off of it...

I plan on staying on this for as long as I can and when I have to go eat, my back up Big Red Box sitter on-er is close by...

If we don't succeed in keeping them home, at least we have our Grandpa from Kansas here to spoil take care of us!  But, we are going to have to take the week off since we aren't allowed to work the computer without Mommy's snoopervision.  

We'll return next Monday so we hope everybuddy has a great week!

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!

Angel

We're Back!

We're finally back from blogcation!  It seems like we've been gone a squizzillion years and we certainly missed everybuddy!  We had a good time with our Grandpa from Kansas but we're very happy Mommy and Daddy are home.  We ignored them for the mandatory 1.3 seconds but after that I wanted to be held constantly...

Sorry for the poor quality but supposedly it's hard to get a photo (or do anything else) when I'm on her shoulder.   Whatever.  Anyway, while we were busy being spoiled by our Grandpa and playing THoE in the mornings, Mommy and Daddy were off visiting a mouse with red shorts and also snowmice...

They had a lot of fun and now Mommy's throat hurts.  After hearing this we think we know why.  Daddy recorded her on their 4th time on the Matterhorn.  Can you imagine what she sounded like the first three times?  Anyway, we're glad they're home and we're going to try to get back to normal around here if I ever decide to get off her shoulder!  

We hope you have a great day!

Gone to the Dogs...

We're very happy that Mommy and Daddy came home yesterday although we have Grandpa wrapped around our paws and got LOTS of treats! We discovered that on their trip, Mommy cheated on us with other dogs...
You'd think she could resist a handsome boy in uniform...
And a shaggy but dapper dude in shoes...
What in the world are we going to do with her...
Yeah, no. That's obviously not going to work. At least she came home to us!
She also came home to SNOW!
Okay, maybe she wasn't as excited to see the snow as I am but my woofie friends will understand!

We hope you have a great day!

Friday Features

Welcome to Friday Features! I am in Disneyland today where everything is decked out for the holidays which got me thinking of holiday parties (okay, I'm really thinking of Indiana Jones Adventure and Toy Story Mania but let's go with it). For those parties I picked out items in purple and brown including jewelry to dazzle, a cowl to brighten up the room, gifts for the hostess and gifts for the kitties and woofies too! I hope you enjoy my picks as much as I'm enjoying Disneyland! (Grace, I know you'd have fun here with me too!)

Do Real Mice Wear Red Shorts?

Do you see this little thing laying beside me? Mommy went to the land of big mice and all she brought home was this little bitty mouse.

It doesn't even smell like a mouse.

Angel, what do you think of a mouse in red shorts and yellow shoes?

Yeah, that's what I thought.

Maybe we'll get a big mouse for Christmas.

Isabella

P.S. Happy Birthday to our Daddy! We love you furry much!

Happy Sadieday!

It's Sadieday once again! Today is a great Sadieday because Mommy is home again after visiting the big mouse in California. I haven't left her side and I don't hold still for many pictures but can you tell how happy I am that she's home?

I thought I'd show you some pictures of what she saw on her trip. She of course saw the big mouse...

and a big tiger named Tigger...

and some toy soldiers who reminded her of the Army of Four...

and some critters named Chip and Dale...

She also saw the turkey pardoned by President Obama. His name is Courage although I think it should be Lucky.

Anyway, I guess she had a fun time in Disneyland and California Adventure but I'm very glad she's home!

Hope you have a wonderful Sadieday!

Happy Sadieday!

It's Sadieday! Today is usually my favorite day of the week but today I'm a little sad.

Mommy left this morning to go to see a giant mouse!

She went with her boss from Colorado so at least Daddy is home with us. He likes being with us better than some mouse. Plus, he'll still take me on walks!

But, Daddy doesn't help us comment on blogs so we'll still do posts while she's gone but we can't return the comments until Mommy comes home. We hope you still visit us!

Hope you are having a Happy Sadieday!

Countdown until Mommy comes home: 4 days.
