Hello there!

Well, how'd we let so much time pass since we last blogged? Clearly it's not OUR fault since we're not the ones with thumbs but anyway, we're popping in today to say hey! We're all doing well. We're really getting used to being retired...

We do work every so often though. Mommy does bookkeeping for a couple of companies so recently we helped with payroll tax returns...

That was, well, taxing but thankfully it happens rarely. Another thing that happens rarely is Lexi is a tad bit calmer. As we type this, she's crazypants because of a squirrel outside but she does go for longer periods of time actually being still. When she's not still, she's playing with her toys all.day.long. She's definitely a Retriever...

Speaking of squirrels, one of my favorite past-times is watching Squirrel TV...

Thanks, Grace, for telling us about this channel!
Anyway, we're sorry we've been away so long. We really didn't realize it but we'll make a point to be around more often. For now, I'm going to check out the squirrel Lexi is so worked up about...

We hope all is well with you! Please give us updates since we feel bad if we missed something!

Have a great last week of January!

Wordless Wednesday - We're Still Here!

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 Quiet but We're Fine

We're enjoying the last bit of summer laying in sunpuddles...

And being discombobulated when Daddy is on the wrong side of the window doing yardwork...

September is just around the corner but before then we have one last week of August to enjoy! Hope you enjoy it too!

Happy day to you!

Angel and Lexi

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!

Happy Birthday, Angel!

Today is my 13th birthday! Since it's also Sadieday, here's me as a baby with my angel sisfur Sadie...

I may be all grown up now but I'm still Mommy's baby!

I hope you have a great Sadieday and have a treat for my birthday today!

Enjoy your day!

Angel

Wordless Wednesday - National Avocado Day!

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

Happy Summer!

We've been practicing our lazy summer days for awhile now...

Notice we aren't cooperating by looking at the camera? We don't have to because we now have a ham of a sister who does what she's told...

She's weird.

Seven years ago tomorrow, June 22nd, our sister Sadie went to the rainbow bridge. In honor of her, we hope you take time for a Sadieday stroll...

Hope your summer is off to a great start!

An Update - Finally!

Sorry for the delay in letting everyone know how Lexi's spay surgery went on Monday. The surgery itself went well but she's been having issues pertaining to the medications since Tuesday. She was sent home with gabapentin for pain and a combo pain/anti-inflammatory pill vetprofin. Well, beginning on Tuesday she's really antsy, pants heavily and would cry - all of which are not like her at all. I kept her company while she was going through all that...

Yesterday Daddy called the vet and was told it was probably the gabapentin causing her reaction so she didn't get that medication last night. Instead they prescribed her trazodone which was supposed to calm her so she could sleep. Well, it didn't work. None of us slept past 1:30 this morning when she was moaning and really uncomfortable which for a dog means she was making soft growling and even crying sounds. Daddy brought her downstairs to her thick, comfy bed to get her to rest and she did do better down there...

We both stayed awake with Mommy until she got up at 4:20 to get ready for boot camp. I help her get ready every day so it was normal routine for me...

But Isabella was up and that is completely not normal....

So far today Lexi's been everything from restless to panting heavily to crazypants when our Chewy order came to even sleeping. She only got the vetprofen this morning and not the other two medications since they clearly are not good for her. We plan on napping today since our days and nights are turned around. Hopefully Lexi has turned the corner and will get better soon. 

Hope all is well in your neck of the woods!

Crossed Paws Please

Today is Lexi's spay day so we'd like to request positive thoughts and crossed paws for her...

We're pretty nervous for her. Even though she's a pain in a patooty, she's kinda grown on us...

We appreciate your good thoughts today. Thank you!

UPDATE: Lexi got home at 4pm and is loopy but doing well. She's resting and hopefully will continue to do so throughout the night. She's been sniffed but not hissed at so, yes, that means we're glad she's home. Thanks for the purrs and prayers!

Hope you have a good day!

Angel and Isabella

Weekend Wrap Up

We hope you had a nice weekend. Here in the USA it was Memorial Day weekend which is when we remember those who have fought and died for our country. We're thankful for all who serve and protect our country...

We've been quiet around here because we've just been enjoying some time off. We're also enjoying spring...

And cuddles in sunpuddles...

And Mommy enjoyed her happy place with a friend...

We're kinda short on mojo around here but hopefully we'll find it soon. If you have any ideas on how to find it, let us know! We'll keep looking for it though.

Hope you enjoy your day!

Lexi, Angel and Isabella

Happy 1st Birthday Lexi!

Today is Lexi's 1st birthday! She may look all grown up...

But she's really a bigger version of herself as a  puppy...

She enjoys every day so we hope you do too!

Happy Birthday, Lexi!

Nosy. Again.

Now that somemommy has time on her hands, she's been getting things done that she's put off for years like cleaning out closets. Being the worker kitties we are, we are helping...

I know I make it look easy but holding down boxes is a tough job...

What are you doing here, chica?

Oh my Cod! Lexi, you are such a pain in the butt!

Her nose never stops. It's always in our business. She turns one tomorrow but we've given up hope that she'll magically be less puppyish. *sigh* Anyway, somemommy appreciated our help and now has a clean and organized closet!

Hope you have a great day!

Angel

Finally Friday

It's been hot here so we've been hanging out, chillin'...

Oh Cod. What's she doing here?

Angel, you know she's nosy...

Ya think? *sigh*

Lexi leaves us alone most of the time but she still can't help herself. She turns one in a week. We're hoping she magically grows up but we won't hold our breath.

Hope you have a great weekend!

Isabella and Angel
