Another Working Weekend

Last week I had to help Mommy find inspiration for some new jewelry designs, then I helped her play with pick out the beads to use.  You'd think after all that I'd get a chance to relax and enjoy the weekend but no, I had to help with quality control in the packaging department too.  All purchases from Mommy's shop are wrapped like a special gift so I have to get the ribbon ready...

Each package requires an arm's length of ribbon...

I'm not allowed to use scissors so I'll improvise...

Then the trick is to get it tied around the package...

I think I'll finish it after a little nap...

As you can see I work really hard around here.  Thanks to my help, the packages are on their way to special friends in Texas and Florida.  I don't know how Mommy would have got them ready without me!  It's a tough job but somekitty's gotta do it!

Hope you have a great start to the week!

Strolling with Friends on Sadieday

It's Sadieday!  We have a special treat for you this Sadieday!  Our friend Pricilla is guest posting today about some strolling that goes on at the Happy Goat Farm in Montana!  We're sure you'll enjoy it so without further ado, here's Pricilla...

Hi everyone! It's Pricilla the goat! I wanted to show you how my studmuffin Luke goes on a stroll every night with (or without) the publicist. I am not too fond of doggies since I have been chased by several but I think I would have loved Sadie and would enjoyed a trip with her in her SUV.

This time of year Luke the goat tends to be a little frisky so the publicist needs to keep him on a lead when he is out of his pen. She lets him roam around a bit at night so he thinks he is the "big buck around town" if you know what I mean.

He can be a self walker if he is a good boy. But if he starts to go rogue the publicist can easily grab his leash and reign him in.

He trots up to the front of the Farm and starts working on "Farm maintenance" - otherwise known as eating weeds. We goats LOVE to eat weeds! And Luke does an especially good job, doesn't he?

When it is time for him to go into his pen in the barn the publicist gives him the news and he trots right into the barn - NOT!

She has to chase him a little.

Silly Luke!

He thinks he will win the battle.

But we does have all learned that THE PUBLICIST always wins.

And soon Luke knows that too and he is soon safe and sound in his pen eating his grain.

Luke maaaas, "Thanks for going on this stroll with me!"

I hope you all enjoyed it.

I'm sure Sadie was watching from the Rainbow Bridge.

We hope you have a Happy Sadieday and a great weekend!

PeeS:  We want to thank our friend Pricilla for her post today!  Not only does she keep tabs on what is going on at her Farm but Pricilla is also the spokesgoat for her own Etsy shop featuring fabulous goat's milk soap!  Be sure to check it out!

Monsters in the Night

Mommy has been busy this week because of the tax deadline on Monday so we're going to do a re-run today from the archives.  Hope you enjoy it again!

Hey Isabella, do you see any monsters outside tonight?

I see a green eyed monster looking back at me - do you see it Angel?

I see a yellow eyed monster! Be careful not to look at it too much Isabella - it'll put a hex on you and turn your eyes into headlights!

Uh oh, too late.

Have a great day!
Angel & Isabella

Wordless Wednesday

Tortie Tuesday

It's Tortie Tuesday!  Today I'm thinking that I'm proud to be an American Tortie and I'm very blessed to have wonderful friends all over the world...

No matter what country we live in we all want the same things - love, acceptance, respect, treats - so while we'll never forget the past, we wish for a world of peace one day.  And some tuna. 

Sending you many blessings this Tortie Tuesday!

It Must Be Monday...

Here I am minding my own business taking a little nap when I get a face full of floofy booty...

And then Miss Floofyness decides it's a good time for her nap too... 

I don't think she'll be leaving any time soon.  It's a good thing she's cute.

Hope no booty gets in your face today!

More Baby Pictures on Sadieday!

It's Sadieday!  It's been one of those weeks where we're really missing Sadie so we wanted to remember smiley times so what time is better for smiles than when Sadie was a baby?  To get an idea of how small she was, here she is in Daddy's arms...

Wasn't she a cutie?

She did eventually grow into those big feets!

She may have been little but she played big...

And slept hard...

We hope these photos made you smile today!  They helped us smile too!  Be sure to spread smiles around today and every day since they'll come back to you many times over!

Hope you have a Happy Sadieday and a great weekend!

Daily Routine

Every day my daddy graciously, happily and willingly no matter what he says gives me lots of scritches and tummy rubs in my corner on the counter.  All I have to do is get into position and cry, yowl, meow sweetly for him.

Hey Daddy!  I'm ready!

Oh yeah, that's the spot!  Let the fur fly!

There's nothing better than lovin' from my daddy!

Do you have a daily routine with your beans?

Hope you get lots of lovin' today!

Not So Wordless Wednesday

Are you ready for some football?

Football season is officially here!  My sisfur Sadie used to watch football with Daddy and she'd howl after touchdowns when he put his arms in the air.  Since I'm Daddy's Girl, I'll watch with him this year but I sure won't be howling!  Actually,  I just hope I can stay awake!

Traditions and memories can be bittersweet can't they?

We hope you have lovely memories of fall,
Isabella

Tortie Tuesday

It's Tortie Tuesday!  Since we just celebrated Labor Day yesterday, I thought I'd give you a glimpse of just how hard I labor around here but yet make it look so effortless.  Here I am ready to go at the first sound of the can opener yet I make it appear as if I'm simply napping...

Notice my back foot placement?  It's ready to push off by the time the lid is popped off the can.  My tail is ready to steady my lightning fast movements by gripping on the couch...

I realize these are advanced techniques but I've been practicing many years to become a purrfessional at making hard work appear effortless...

Practice makes purrfect!

Hope you have a Happy Tortie Tuesday!

Isabella

Enjoying the Holiday!

Since it's Labor Day here in the U.S., we're taking it easy which means the keyboard is tailed off...

Now, since you can't type Mommy, pet me!

Hope you have a relaxing day!

Strollin' with Friends on Sadieday

It's Sadieday!  We're having beautiful weather in our neck of the woods so we know on this long Labor Day weekend our sisfur Sadie would be strolling all over the forest roads!  We never got to go with her on her strolls because, well, we didn't know cats could go on strolls.  That was until we met our furiend from Sweden, Kjelle Bus!  He leashes up his mom and they go on strolls in the meadows...

He always practices safety and is on alert for critters and especially woofies...

But he also does kitty stuff like climb a real, natural, non-carpeted cat tree!

Kjelle Bus also enjoys riding in the car like our sisfur Sadie liked riding in her S.U.V. (Sadie Utility Vehicle)...

He's an adventurous Mancat and he's mighty handsome too...

We're pawsitive that our sisfur Sadie would have loved to have Kjelle Bus join her on her strolls even though he is a cat.  Sadie just loved to stroll with anybuddy...

We enjoyed going on a stroll with Kjelle Bus today and hope you did too! As always, enjoy an adventure on your Sadieday and be sure to smile today because smiles are contagious!

Have a Happy Sadieday and a great holiday weekend!

PeeS:  If you visit Kjelle Bus's blog and haven't before, you can ask Mr. Google to translate it from Swedish to English so it makes a lot more sense!
