Happy Birthday, Angel!

It's my 14th birthday today! I'm looking forward to spending it getting treats from Mommy, scritches from Daddy and snuggles from my sisfur, Isabella...

I'll take some siestas with my other sisfur, Lexi too...

I hope you enjoy treats, snuggles and siestas in my honor today too!

Stay safe and healthy! We're all doing well!

Happy belated Gotcha Day to Lexi!

We've had visitors here so missed Lexi's Gotcha Day on Monday! Or maybe it's because we're waiting for her to get out of the pain in the patooty puppy stage. Either way, this was the first time Mommy and Daddy met her on August 1st...

And this was the first time we met her on August 12th...

She's kinda grown on us since then. Kinda...

Anyway, Happy Gotcha Day to our big little sisfur, Lexi!

Do something crazypants today in her honor!

Sharing?

Hey, Bella. Will you share MY pillow with me?

See, we're barely touching. Isn't this nice?

HISSSSSSS!

Uh, okay, maybe not.

*sigh*

Hope you share in some happiness today!

Lexi

Thankful Thursday

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!

Wordless Wednesday

Weekend Wrap Up

Hey, Angel, whatcha doin'?

What's it look like I'm doing, chica? I'm enjoying a sunpuddle, window whiffs and some Birdie TV...

That's kinda boring. I'm more interested in your floofy belly...

I know it took you six months to let me get near you but I'm glad you finally did...

Yeah, well, it appears you're here to stay so if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

How was your weekend?

Happy first week of March!

Lexi and Angel

Finally Friday

We hope your New Year is off to a great start! We've been kinda quiet around here but not for any particular reason other than we're starting to enjoy each other's company...

Yes, that's me being relaxed around Lexi. I decided to start 2019 off by being brave and take back my territory. I've even gone through that little cat door in the gate when Lexi was laying on the steps! It confuses the halibut out of her! MOL! Mommy is so happy because I've also been coming downstairs and hanging out with her again...

Lexi isn't quite as crazypants now that she's 7.5 months old which helps. She's pretty lousy at doing tax returns though so it's going to be a long tax season...

She's on a leash and halter in the office because if she's not, she gets into trouble...

She's a pawful that's for sure! Anyway, we'll continue to post randomly so please bear with us. We do appreciate your visits!

We wish you the best for 2019!

Angel

Finally Friday

We're sure glad it's Friday! It's been another long week with leaveitNOstopitgetdownNO Lexi here which is why we're late in posting today. She was so wound up this morning that after an hour of her being crazypuppy, Mommy did go crazy and contemplated running away from home! Daddy came home to give them both a time out which Mommy spent relaxing upstairs with us...

More progress was made with Lexi this week but she has a ways to go yet. On their three walks a day, so many people stop and say how cute she is...

Mommy says being cute is her saving grace. Lexi knows it too because she can work those puppy eyes like nobuddy's business! Anyway, we're glad for the weekend so one of the peeps can puppy sit while the other spends more time with us!

Do you have any weekend plans?

Happy Friday!

Isabella and Angel

Happy Fall!

Enjoying fresh air whiffs is the perfect way to spend this first day of fall...

*swish*

Hey chica, keep your floofy tail to yourself!

*whap*

She had no idea I even tried did she?

Hope not. I don't want her teasing me about being late for everything but nap time. *sigh*

Fall is certainly in the air here, is it in your neck of the woods?

Enjoy your Friday!

Flashback Friday

Next Thursday will be the 5th anniversary of our sisfur Sadie going to the Rainbow bridge. This is the last picture taken of me and Sadie together...

She taught me so much. I still follow Mommy all over the house. I greet her at the door when she's been out. I race her up the stairs (and I always win!). Sadie was the bestest woofie sisfur ever! No woofie could ever replace her in our hearts. We miss her. We miss her smile.

Hope you have lots to smile about this weekend!

Angel

Ess-capades

Hey Angel, nothing like the smell of a nice, new Ess is there?

Or a fuzzy thingamabob on the side of it too...

Hey looks it's gone!

My head is gone too!

Yeah, no joke chica. Have you been in the nip stash?

Now what the halibut are you doing Bella?

Oh my Cod, I don't even know what to make of you anymore...

What are you giggling at Mommy?

Can't a Tortie kick up her feets these days without comments from the peanut gallery? Sheesh.

Do you every go crazypants for no reason?

Hope you are able to kick up your feets today!

Isabella

It's All in the Technique

Isabella, pay close attention to how I catch this shimmying black snake. I first let it know I'm aware it's there...

Then I ignore it...

Once it thinks I'm not interested - BAM! I deaded it!

Okay now you try it. Let it know you're aware it's there...

Then ignore it.

Uh, Isabella, ignoring it doesn't mean staring at it from two inches away...

Oh forget it, I'll deaded it for you...

Some techniques are best left for the purrfessionals.

Hope you enjoy your day!

Angel

Birthday Celebration!

We don't normally post on a Sunday but we made an exception since it's our Mommy's squizillion and eighth birthday today!

She's expecting to have a great day based on her fortune from yesterday...

We're expecting frosting or chick-hen. So far there isn't any...

But the day isn't over yet! Bring on those blessings! 

Happy Birthday Mommy!

Isabella and Angel

Never Before Seen Friday Flashback

Mommy came across some photos from way back in 2011 that have never posted on our blog. It was back in the day when we could get paper bags from the grocery store without having to pay 5 cents for them. Also, our sisfur Sadie was here. Anyway, the photos made her smile so we're hoping they start your weekend off with a smile too! Enjoy!

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

I just love paper bags...

I can get inside one and no one knows where I'm at. That makes me so happy...

Uh, Angel, do you realize bags crinkle? We all know where you're in there...

I think she really believes she's hidden...

If I can't see Bella, she can't see me...

Bella's not going anywhere is she?

Oh my Cod! How am I going to get out of this bag without her seeing me? She can lay there for hours and I'll be stuck in here! What if I miss lunch, snack time, dinner, snack time, bedtime snack time, middle of the night snack time?

Seriously chica? Don't be so dramatic! 

Uh oh, I hear Sadie coming up behind me...

Angel: Phew! I'm not gonna starve!

Sadie: Cats. Sheesh.

Sadie's smile makes us all smile!

Hope this flashback brought you a smile too!

Enjoy your weekend!

Angel and Isabella
