This Is Us This Week

We've been kind of quiet around here since 'tis the season of taxes. Don't worry, we take time off to watch snowflakes...
We've also been quiet since we've all had to go to the vet for our check ups. I had a follow up blood test after the one I got for my dental last fall showed I was close to having hypothyroidism. Well, now I do have it. Since I turn into the Tasmanian devil when given a pill, I have to have stuffs put on my ear every day forever. Because this isn't as easy to regulate as a pill, I'll be tested more often to see how I'm doing. 

Isabella's exam showed that she's dropped in weight from 14.75 lbs to the same size as me - 11.2 lbs. Turns out she's hyperthyroid too! None of us would've thunk it! She'll get pills every day forever since she has no teeth but she'll swallow it in half a pill pocket. A whole pill pocket is too big to swallow. Other than us both being hyperthyroid and Isabella having asthma, our tests showed we're healthy and doing well as senior kitties! 

As for Lexi, her exam was fine. She's 57 lbs and just plain hyper. She'll be spayed soon but the vet suggested she go through a heat cycle first. Oh joy. He said that waiting decreases hip and joint problems, however, it also increases her chance of cancer from 1% to 5%. Since the hip issues are more likely, she'll probably have to wait. Whenever it's done we're all hoping it calms her down. She's been in obedience school for five weeks and will officially flunk out at her final class next week. That is if Daddy takes her. It's not that she's a dumb dog like Bella and I think she is, because actually she's super smart. It's because she's too friendly and wants to play with the other dogs and their peeps. She listens to Daddy as long as he has treats but she knows when he runs out so does the doggy version of  "lalalalala, I can't hear you!" Let's just say, she better be glad there's a room full of witnesses! Anyway, she's a pawful in public and we're hoping she grows out of it. Soon.

That's the update on what's going on around here. What's new with you?

Hope you enjoy your weekend!

Snow Day!

Yesterday we got snow that may not look like much but it was enough to cause our Daddy's minions to start texting at 5am that they'd be late for work. At 7:30am! We think they enjoy waking us up. Anyway, once it was light enough, we could see how much snow there was...
Oregonians do not know what to do with snow! I may be a native Oregonian but I was raised by an Alaskan husky so I watch the snow from an open window...
And then cuddle with a warm Tortie...
Snow days aren't so bad. Well, except for the early wake up calls. Ugh.

Hope you have a warm and cuddly weekend!

Tortie Tuesday

Our spring like weather last week has given way to cold temps and even a little snow. I don't mind though. I'm always warm with my daddy...
And the snow keeps my little sisfur entertained and out of my fur...
So to me, the weather is purrfect!

What's it like in your neck of the woods?

Hope you enjoy your Tortie Tuesday!

Finally Friday

We're glad this week is over! It's been filled with lots of work and lots of white...
It started snowing and getting icy on Wednesday. The only good thing about all that white is it made the birdies much easier to see...
Today we're helping Mommy get ready for Christmas. No surprise she's behind with a week to go. Some things never change. Thank Cod she has us!

Are you ready for Christmas at your house?

Have a great Friday and weekend!

Snow day!

The first two days of 2016 were filled with sunpuddles and yesterday we had snow! Okay, so it barely covered the ground but it was snow! While enjoying cold fresh air whiffs I noticed lots and lots of birdies on the kinda white ground...
The birdies then started flying back and forth from bushes to trees...
I ducked down so they couldn't see me while chattering at them and flicking my tail floofy wildly...
It was the most exciting thing to happen this year! 2016 is going to be pawesome!

Is your New Year off to a great start?

Wishing you much happiness in 2016!

Snow Day!

We got snow here in the Willamette Valley which is unusual and of course it happened on Mommy's craft show day so she cancelled and stayed home with us.  There was no snow at all when she got up at 4am but by 5 it was snowing pretty good and this is what it looked like out our front door awhile later.  You can see Daddy's tracks in the snow since he had to go to work...
One good thing about the snow is it really made the Birdie TV reception very strong.  Here I am talking back to the screen (excuse the poor cell phone video quality)...

As it got later, the shows got scarier!  Seriously!  Those birdies got very, very scary!  (Ignore the laughter from the peanut gallery in the video.  I do.)

Anyway, since Mommy got up so early thinking she was going to the show, Daddy told us we have to make her sleep today so she's not cranky tonight.  It's a tough job but somekitty has to do it.  

Hope it's warm in your neck of the woods!  Have a good rest of the weekend!

Snow Angel?

When I was outside enjoying the snow, my little sisfur Angel just watched me out the door...
I told Mommy it was okay to share a little bit of snow with her so we brought some in...
She just pushed it one way...
Then the other way...
Then back the other way... And while she was doing that, Isabella actually ate some snow...
I had to come get some before it was all gone... Wanna see a short video of Angel in action? The ending is a little shaky but Mommy thinks Angel is so cuuute...

Whatever. I know I'm the cutest.

Hope you have a great day!

Happy Sadieday!

Yay it's Sadieday! I just love Sadieday but actually Thursday came close to being the bestest day of this week because of what I saw when I looked out the window...
SNOW! Most of the country is having record breaking heat but we got 7 inches (18 cm) of glorious snow! Snow is very unusual in our neck of the woods so Mother Nature is being very good to me this year... Because a husky can't have too many snowballs... But a husky's mom can have frozen fingers so I guess it's time to go in...
Before we go in though I just have to have a little more snow...
I wish it could last forever!

I hope you have a Happy Sadieday!

It's Sadieday!

Yay it's Sadieday! What better way to start the day than to run outside and find this...
This is the bestest surprise ever!
It feels so good between my toes...
And it's fun to catch snowballs too...
I just love the snow! I'm so happy! I know this isn't a video but you can see my tail wagging - first look here...
then here...
Did you see it wag? Well, Mommy is freezing out here but before we go in, let's have fun one more time. I'm ready... Got it! I know the snow won't last so I'll enjoy it while I can. I wish lots of snow for all my woofie furiends and all of us are wishing that everybuddy in the path of the recent storms in the midwest and eastern U.S. are safe.

Enjoy your Sadieday!

Snowy Sadieday!

I was already excited that it's Sadieday but can you imagine my excitement when I looked outside and saw that it's a snowy Sadieday!
It's too snowy for a stroll today since Mommy doesn't have 4-paw drive...
But we can go out in the backyard and enjoy it! Isn't this fabulous?
Come on Mommy, let's go play...
Look at all this glorious snow!
It's perfect for playing with snowballs...
How's this for an action shot...
I had so much fun today!
I wish we had snow on every Sadieday!

I hope you enjoyed a Snowy Sadieday with me!
