Mommy's Home!

We had a fun weekend with Daddy but apparently we didn't have as much fun as Mommy did at BlogPaws.  She got to meet lots of our blog friends plus make new friends.  She also visited the Katnip Lounge again.  See how excited Salem is to have all the cat ladies admiring her...

Mommy is the one dressed in Miss Salem's colors.

Mommy was also able to meet angel Ginger Jasper's mum Carol who happened to be in Vegas all the way from the U.K. celebrating their 10th anniversary...

As you can see, there's one woofie in the photo and that's our friend Sugar the Golden Retriever who Mommy absolutely adores!  She pet her every single time she saw her and even had breakfast with her and her mom one day.  We don't mind her cheating on us with a woofie as long as it's Sugar.  Besides, we are open to bribes in the form of a a big red box full of swag...

She brought home lots of goodies including a pink Sleepypod that she won!  But no matter how much loot we got there's one thing that I wanted the most...

Pick me up and hold me Mommy...

I love my Daddy but I'm a Momma's girl so plan on spending the day catching up on cuddles!  

Hope you had a wonderful weekend and a great start to your week!

Smile!

Today is our furiend Sugar's 10th Barkday and to celebrate, she's throwing a pawty with Happy Smiley Doggy Photos! Well, since I smile all the time I knew I had to join in the celebration so here's my Happy Smiley Doggy photo!
Happy Barkday Sugar!
Hope everyone has a smile on today!

Thankful Thursday

We recently won an opportunity from our furiend Sugar to receive a work of art from Easy Canvas Prints so of course I told Mommy that I would be the best choice to be artwork! I picked a photo of a hike in the forest where I'm smiling and my tail is wagging since I'm always so happy! I'm very pleased with the results...
Even Isabella liked it...
The canvas art looks like a painting yet it's so realistic she thought she was on a stroll with me...
Actually I'm thinking that I'm a work of art too!
Thanks to Sugar and Easy Canvas Prints for the opportunity to win this wonderful canvas print! Thanks to Megan for helping Mommy with it too!

Do you have artwork from your photos in your home?

Have a wonderful day!

Back In Time...

Our Mommy got tagged twice last week, by Lynn from Lynn's Musing and Mumblings and by Katie from Mishkat. Both say she is to give 7 facts about herself but Katie's adds that she is to include a photo of when she was younger.

*Hey Isabella, did they have cameras way back then?*

Anyway, we'll let Mommy take over and post her picture and facts!

1. Although Katie was brave enough to post current pictures, I'm not that brave so we'll stick to old photos like this one! It's of me and our dog Sally. I'm not even sure how old I am in this picture but I'd guess 3? Pretty cute outfit huh?

2. I've posted this photo before but it's been awhile so I'll post it again. It's of me and my first cat Sugar. You can read more about me finding him by clicking here.

3. Okay, here's a fact. There is a way, somewhere on this blog, to see a more current picture of me. That's all I'm saying!

4. I grew up in Kansas but after seeing a family friend's house leveled by a tornado and then having a tornado take the roof off a building near where I was working during college, I knew I needed to live in a tornado free zone! We moved to Loveland, CO right as soon as I graduated.

5. I never mailed a package on my own until after I got married. My dad was a Postmaster so I sent all my mail and packages to work with him. And now that I have to stand in the lines I realize what a perk that was!

6. I'm not on Facebook and it seems like I'm the only one who's not!

7. I'm shy - really! This could be the reason for #6!

I also want to thank Eileen from Dorset Hill Beads for giving me the Lovely Blog Award!

If you like "mysteries" and can figure out things from clues, you should check out her Theme for Thursday posts! I'm not good at figuring things out but I enjoy reading them and then seeing how far off I was! Thanks again for the award Eileen!

We hope you have a wonderful Sunday!

First Kitty of Many...

I'm still in Kansas and my furbabies back home are taking the day off (can't get good help these days!) so I thought I would post about my very first kitty Sugar. My dad had this picture of me with Sugar from many, many years ago which got me remembering Sugar along with many of my previous furbabies through the years.

Sugar was a black tiger striped kitty with white paws - which looked like he stepped in sugar, hence the name! He found me one night when I was 6 or 7 years old as I was sitting on a bench at the local swimming pool. When my parents came to get me I told them "here's my kitty and his name is Sugar!" and that's how my life with kitties all started!

Sugar was the only outdoor cat I've had and he was my supervisor on everything I did outside although he didn't want me to know it! He'd follow me and my friends as we explored the many fields and ponds near our home in Kansas but as soon as we turned around to look at him, he'd stop and look in every other direction than in our direction. It was like he was saying "I'm not following you, I'm not even paying any attention to you!"

In addition to being a great supervisor, he was a Mighty Hunter and many mornings we'd wake up to a big ole mouse on the deck. He'd wait until we saw his catch before carrying it off, as if he wanted to show us what a great Man-Cat he was!

Sugar was independent but he was my buddy always. I'll never forget him and am very lucky that he chose me that night and told me he wanted to be my first kitty!

Take some time today to remember your first pet and I hope you enjoy the trip down memory lane as much as I did!
