Thankful Thursday

Something came in the mail and I knew right away it was for me...

It's my very own bag to carry my roll of, uh, poop bags on my walks! It's pink like my collar and my leash. It's camo and it has purple on it for my Army of Four friends from K-State country, Cammie and Maggie!

It hooks on my leash with this cool purple dog bone too...

As I'm learning around here, even though this is for me it has to meet kitty inspection. Angel gave it her approval...

Isabella thinks it's really pink Tortie fabric. She thinks all things are about her. Don't tell her I said that...

She did give me the idea that treats would fit in it too...

Actually, she expected treats for doing such a thorough inspection...

Anyway, my new bag is a treat and I'll be the most stylish dog in the hood! Thank you, Cammie and Maggie for helping your mom make such an awesome poop bag bag! I love it! Mommy loves it too and Daddy is glad it's not too girlie for him to walk with me and all my pink accessories! 

What are you thankful for today?

Happy September! Happy Thursday too!

Lexi

Disclaimer: I was a super wiggly wiggle butt during this photo shoot and couldn't contain myself no matter what so sorry for the not so great photos. Mommy tried upteen times to get photos of me and the bag but I just couldn't hold still.

We're still adjusting our routine after tax season. It takes a lot of practice to get our new normal just right...

We do have something to be thankful for. Isabella was re-tested for her hyperthyroidism after being on meds for 50 days and her results were fabulous! She went from 3.4 (4 is the upper limit) to 1.2! I won't be tested for several months since I'm no longer on meds for my hyperthyroidism because I'm allergic to them. I am finally no longer itchy all the time and for that I'm thankful. We're both thankful there is no room in this chair for Lexi...

The biggest thing we're thankful for is that we just endured our last tax season! Yep, we're officially retired as CPA Cats! After 20 tax seasons, Mommy's body just can't handle sitting for so many hours for so many days. She's also worked really hard to become healthy and lose quite a bit of weight the past 1.5 years so sitting for 25% of the year is counterproductive to that. It was just time for her to retire. Plus she's been saying to the Universe for the past five years that she wanted to retire at 50 so that's what she did! We're all happy and looking forward to not being stuck in the office next year and for whatever the future may bring!

What are you thankful for today?

Hope you have a great day!

We're back! Sorta. We did want to post today because our Grandpa from Kansas left yesterday and we wanted to let him know how thankful we are that he came to visit us. He gave us lots of scritches and taught Lexi some new tricks...

Daddy isn't thrilled with certain tricks but both he and Mommy were thrilled that Grandpa from KS was able to puppy sit so they could go to the coast to celebrate Daddy's birthday on the 7th...

After Grandpa from KS left yesterday and Daddy went back to work, Mommy was beyond thrilled with this happened...

It's the first time I've come downstairs all by myself since her birthday way back in August. As you can see, I even had to walk right by Lexi. You'd have thought Mommy won the lottery with how excited she was I came to see her and that I did all my favorite things like survey the living room...

Watch birdies with my sisfur...

And I even sat in my favorite spot on Mommy's chair...

It helped that Lexi was exhausted from having visitors for a week so she was napping instead of being crazypants. Mommy didn't move for two hours while I was downstairs because she didn't want to wake her up. It was nice to be downstairs again so maybe I'll keep doing it. It sure made Mommy happy!

How has your week been?

Hope you have lots to be thankful for today!

I want to thank you for the purrs yesterday. They worked because my dental went well. I lost two teefs and some furs on my leg but because of the good meds I got, I don't really care...

Angel, you smell funny...

Yeah, whatever. I'm glad it's over. Mommy is too. She feels sorry for me so opened the window even though it's 50 degrees outside...

She knows I like to watch the birdies and she'll do anything for me...

Mommy here: Angel did really well yesterday. They took good care of her. They made her a bed with a towel over it so she could burrow in it while she was there. The tech raved about her fur and said she's so soft she feels like a rabbit! She can't have hard food (i.e. treats) for two weeks so that's going to be difficult but she has a great appetite and has been purring and head butting nonstop since coming home. We're hoping she still feels good in a day or two as the pain meds wear off. Oh, Isabella only sniffed her that once and then acted completely normal. She's super mellow so nothing bothers her. Anyway, thanks again for the purrs!

Have some treats on my behalf!

As of today I've been in my new home for one month. I'm winning over my kitty sisfurs slowy. Isabella lets me sniff her while she makes a funny sound. She tries to hug me but never quite gets her paws past my snooter. Her hugs are kinda weird because it's more like boxing but I make sure to give her plenty of chances to get it right. As for Angel, let's just say she walks away instead of runs now. She's tougher to win over. It didn't help me score points with the kitties when I got a special delivery just for me...

I got a surprise BarkBox from my beagle friend, Winnie...

It meant a lot to get something just for me in this house full of kitty stuffs...

I didn't even let the kitties have all the fun with the box!

The theme for the BarkBox is Pharoahs so I got a cool Egyptian squirrel...

And King Tut...

I also got some yummy treats that I've enjoyed stuffed in my Kongs, thrown in my kennel and as treats when I train my peeps. Out of everything in the box, my favorite is the squirrel especially because it squeaks really loud...

Much thanks to Winnie for the pawesome gift! I really do appreciate it! Also I want to thank everyone who visits this blog and has welcomed me to my new home. It really means a lot to me and I look forward to contributing here - as long as the kitties agree of course. Apparently they rule the roost.

I hope you have plenty to be thankful for today!

Recently we won purrsonalized socks from OurSock.com for our mommy from the Kitties Blue at The Cat on my Head. Mommy just had to choose one of us to put on the socks. Guess which one of us she picked?

Yep, me! She said she picked me because she wasn't sure how Tortie colors would show up on the socks but I know the real reason is because I'm so cute she can hardly stand it...

Oh my Cod! You're on socks, Angel? This better not go to your head!

Get it? I told her it better not go to her head because it's her head on the socks! MOL! I'm so funny! Anyway, these socks are kinda cool even with Angel on them. You know, if I stare at her face intently, I see her face everywhere kinda like seeing spots after staring at a bright light...

Much thanks to the Kitties Blue and their mom too! Mommy loves her new Angel socks and will wear them a lot since it's her footwear of choice when the weather is cooler. 

What are you thankful today?

Enjoy your day!

We know there's still a week to go until Thanksgiving, but we're already counting our blessings such as snuggle buddies on rainy Oregon days...

And a comfy bed with a view, toys and blog friends who visit us. 

We've got lots to be thankful for!

What are some things you're thankful for?

Hope you enjoy a snuggle today!

Our Grandpa from Kansas has left to go home but while he was here he fixed a wobbly branch on our cat tree...

I snoopervised him but he seemed to know what he was doing...

He had me try it out and I did so cautiously since it used to wobble like a top...

But my caution was unwarranted because it's now super solid...

It's perfect...

Thanks for fixing our wobbly branch, Grandpa! Thanks for the scritches and tummy rubs too!

Hope you have a solidly good day!

The noisy strangers finished the deck yesterday. It took longer than expected so we're very thankful to finally have peace and quiet restored during our hectic work days in the office...

We're also thankful that after we get done with work today, we're off until September 5th! We have an exciting week coming up with a birthday (frosting!) and a visit from our Grandma from Las Vegas! We have a lot to look forward to!

Do you have anything exciting planned as we near the unofficial end of summer?

Hope you have lots to be thankful for today!

Recently we won a giveaway from our friend Phoebe and her family - a package of thirteen toys crocheted by her mom!

So many goodies!

Isabella woke up to see what all we got...

She even played with them too...

I loved bunny kicking the banana...

Isabella imitated it...

MOL! I crack myself up!
Anyway, many thanks to Phoebe for all the toys! We enjoy them very much! 

What are you thankful for this Thursday?

Hope you have a happy day!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We want to wish Happy Thanksgiving to our friends here in the U.S. and say how thankful we are for our friends throughout the world!

We have many things to be thankful for this year including...

A loving, furever home

Our good health

Sunpuddles

Snuggle buddies

Lots of toys to play with

Lots of comfy spots to nap

I could go on and on but it's time to bring on the turkey...

That's not quite what I had in mind.

Hope your home is filled with happiness, your heart if filled with love and your tummy is filled with yummy goodies!

Happy Thanksgiving from our home to yours!

Isabella, Angel and our Mommy

Thankful Thursday

Our friend Sandee from Comedy Plus posts what she's thankful for on Thursdays so we thought we'd give it a try here too. One thing we're thankful for is that we're going to meet Sandee in purrson this summer! I will even probably come out of hiding so she can pet me. Isabella loves company so she's thankful someone else is coming to spoil her too.

Another thing I'm thankful for is our daddy. He works really hard for us to have everything we could ever want and then some. When he has rough days at work I make sure and give him extra purr therapy...

I know he's thankful for it too despite his even louder than Mommy's complaints about numb feets.

We're thankful our gingerbread house is still out and that we have a box full of toys.

We're also thankful tax season is over and Mommy has more time to play with us. We're thankful she has an awesome boss now too. She put up with way too much negativity and stress at her old job so to have a job and boss she enjoys has changed all our lives immensely. Even her new boss lets her know how good she has it now! Hee hee!

What are you thankful for?

Hope you have a lovely day!
