Halloweenie Fun!

This year, I kept my costume a secret from Grammie. I wanted to surprise her and I did!

I was a court jester! A'cause I'm always being silly and making everybean laugh :) I wented to the nursing home and visited with all the beans and gotted to ride with Grammie in a parade!

When the parade was over, we wented back to Grammie's room to enjoy some treats! She gave me some really yummy crunchies that made my belly all way happy and my purr thing went. Oh it was such good fun but know what? There were so many beans that it was really loud. I put my face into Grammie's arm and hid until the noise wented away. Momma said I was such a good boy anyway...I let all the beans pet me and take pictures with me.

This am Joan. She loves it when I come to stop by and visit with her. She has shaky hands so when they move a lot, she lays down. I wented into her room, jumped up on her bed and showed her my costume! She smiled and laughed and gave me such nice pets... felt so good that I got comfy next to her. I could have stayed with her all afternoon. She always gets so a'cited to see me and that makes my tail jiggle :)

When I was in the room with Grammie, Ms. Carol camed in to give Grammie some medicine to make her feel good. She always gets a'cited to see me too! Even though she was wearing all white, she picked me up anyway! Hee-Hee! Ms. Carol gives me scritchies a'hind my neck and on my back and that always makes my purr thing go. Sometimes, she gives me treats! I lubs it when she comes to see me :)

Here's a picture of Momma's punkin that she maked this year. She did it from scritchy scratch! Drawed a picture and cut it herself. I think the poodin' on the branch looks like an owl with a poodin' tail, but I know what Momma was goin' for ;) What was most fun is that at night, she would turn the special light on inside and it would change colors! Red, Green, Purple, Blue, it was so cool!

I hopes you all had a fun Halloweenie!

So much in one week...

Many things happened this week.  Mine Momma lost two Grammies.  Can you a'lieve that?  It was very sad and I really wish that I could find where they went, but Momma says that I won't find them.  She am not too sad a'cause they both lived very long lives 96 and 98!  

Well, if that wasn't enough, Momma tolded me that we am gonna move.  I saw her eye things get all wet when she found out about the apartmint she saw.  She says that we am gonna live there now.  She says it's gonna be a real nice place to live where I will get to see birdies and shmaybe poodins out the windows!  I will be very sad to leave where we live but...if we're gonna move together, it shouldn't be so bad. Right?  Know what?  The apartmint am right next to where mine Grammie lives!  I could see her and if I meow real loud, shmaybe she could hear me!  Isn't that a'citing!?  I'm a'cited like Momma, but we're both kinda a'scared a'cause we've never moved anywhere a'fore.  We both call our house, our only home.  But, methinks we'll be ok :)

Today, I wented to see mine Grammie.  I stayed close by her and when we wented down to the bistro, I snuck in under her wheelie chair and watched all the beans rolling around.  When we wented back up to her room, I got out of the magic room and runned all the way to her room by myself!  Grammie and Momma were all way proud of me for knowing which room is hers.  I know a'cause it smells like mine Grammie.  I knows to pass by the nurse stayshun and pass all the beans in wheelie chairs and go two more doors down until I see mine Grammie's door.

Today, I gotted to meet Elizabeth.  She am mine Grammie's roomie.  She am not always making sense but that's ok.  She was all way good today and camed over and pet me all way nice on the head.  She has a fake doggie that she calls Freddie.  

Sometimes when she am not good, she thinks Freddie am real and tries to feed him.  Momma thinks it's kinda cute and funny.  Today, she gotted a nice picture of her with Freddie.

All this news makes me tired so methinks I'm gonna go curl up somewhere...

A Rockin' Christmas

We sure hadded ourselves a most wonderful Chrissymus! I hopes you all did too. I gotted to visit with Grammie ALL afternoon!! And, I got to go do some Chrissymus visits with the beans where Grammie lives. I got so many pets!!

Momma and me taked our picture in front of one of the Chrissymus trees they hadded there. I'll ask Momma to post them later. Oh! Knows what I had for my Chrissymus feast??!! A WHOLE can of stinky gourmet goodness!! I hadded Turkey Florentine with garden greens. Oh they were most divine :) They maked my belly full and happy after being with Grammie all afternoon.

I gotted a new toy from Momma for Chrissymus! It am a santa on a string and I likes to jump and chase him around. Shmaybe I'll pose for a picture with it soon! Yesterday, I got so into playing with him that when I went to jump, I forgot to look where I was going and landed on the coffee table and pulled Auntie Deb's fancy table cloth right on the floor and a whole bunch of stuff camed down with it!! It plopped right on my bum! I wasn't too too scared or nothin' but Momma laughed really hard. It maked me all way 'barassed so she felt bad and called me over to her. When I got there, she gave me a good pet and smoothed down my fur on my bum a'cause I maked it go up a little.

Well now that Grammie gotted a nice gift from me and Momma. It am a digital frame that holds all kinds of pictures of me, Momma, Auntie Deb, and a whole bunch of beans... but they're mostly pictures of me on there!! Grammie gotted all way a'cited when she opened it! Now she can admire my handsomeness even when I'm not hangin' out on her bed!

Well, I hopes you had a great Chrissymus too! Tell me all about it!!

Playing with the big boys

Momma wented to her college this weekend a'cause there were fun things going on. They call it "homecoming" but I don't understand that a'cause she didn't come home until very late! She invited some of her bean students to come to our house to play games. I never played games with other beans a'fore...it was all way good fun!

This game that I liked mostest am called "twister". Know what? The beans taked off their shoes and stood on a great big plastic thing with colored dots on it. Momma maked a black stick spin and point to different colors and then she'd tell them what to do. I liked it so much that I a'cided to join in! See mine right paw thing am on the green! Methinks I winned. I dunno how you win but alls I know is that I had a great time playing with them all.

They didn't 'preciate me helping them play "loaded questions" a'cause the kept telling me to stop standing on the board. But deep down, I thinks they liked that I did that. Then they wented into the dining room and played a game called Monotony. What's that Momma? Oh it am not monotony, it am called Monopoly. Psh...same thing! Those beans didn't move for hours!!! Miss Destiny was winning all way good. Momma, she am not so good a'cause she had to sell all her shtuff and even then she went bankrupped. Mr. Mark was a kind bean that I met that night. He am a really nice bean. He knows how to make a poodin' all way comfy around new beans. Mr. Mark picked me up and kissied my head thing and gived me a catnip toy!

It was all way good fun playing with the beans :) Knows what? Them am coming back again sometime real soon a'cause I hearded Momma say so!

I got to see Grammie yesterday. Her roommate, Miss Mary, am living with Momma's daddy now. She wasn't feeling good last week and over two days, she gotted real weak and sleepy...so now she am in heaven. Momma and Grammie cried a little but they're happy to know she am at peace. I gotted to see her last Sunday a'fore she gotted to feeling all way tired. Momma and Grammie said their goodbyes the night a'fore she left. I know that Grammie am not used to the silence in the room, but it made for a nice visit with me. When I gotted there, she gived me treatsies and kissies and all way good pets. When Grammie had to go to bed, Momma and me wented to do some therapy. I walked up and down the hall and went to go visit Miss Claire. She knows me and when I camed into her room, she said "Well hello TImothy!" all way happy and it maked my tail thing jiggle.

I got to meet a bean that has AD and even though she said I was a lovely little doggie, I knowed that she enjoyed my visit anyway. I kinda look like a doggie on a leash! LOL!! The lady's daughter tolded me that I was such a good boy for visiting beans and then she said to Momma that she am giving the residents a lovely gift. What a kind thing to say! Well after all that a'citement, I had to go rest! I curled up on Grammie's bed and didn't wanna leave. It was so comfy up there! So...a'luctantly, I got into my stroller and said my bye-byes to Grammie.

---

Guess what?? Mr. Hendrix gived me an award for being so sweet to Grammie and the other beans where she lives! Thank you Mr. Hendrix for thinkin' of me! It makes my tail jiggle and my belly all warm :)

TD: Therapy Cat

What's up everybean and fluffy aminal!? It's Saturday today! Know what that means? Mine Momma gets to stay home with me and do shtuff around the house! Today, she gotted up all way early and wented bye bye to the place where they watch her wait. She said that she has lost 20 pounds but I don't know...I haven't seen any around the house so shmaybe she losted them at work?

When she gotted back, she wented for a walk and then stayed with me in the living room. We watched nascar together until our favorite bean gotted a kaboomie. That's when we a'cided to go see Grammie. Instead of using mine stroller, Momma said she thought it would be a fun surprise for me to walk into Grammie's room. It sure did suprise! ME! I gotted into the monster with wheels and we wented all over the roads and came to where Grammie lives. I gotted all way a'scared a'cause there were amblances there and they make lotsa noises... a kind bean helped Momma carry things so that Momma could hold me. I got all way brave when Momma holded me!

When we gotted inside, I trotted right into Grammie's room! I was all way a'cited to see her! She gived me treatsies and lotsa good scritchies on my head thing. I maked my toes go in and out for her a'cause it maked me feel so good! After we visited for a while, beans came in to help Grammie get ready for bed. So, to give her privacy, Momma and me wented out into the hall. I a'cided to go for a walk with Momma. I sneaked into the next room and there was a lady bean there that got all way a'cited to see me!

So, I waited for Momma to ask if she'd like me to visit and she did! I got all way comfy and listened to her story about her own poodin that sounds like it might just be a tuxie like me! The other bean in the room has trouble with her eye things but I could hear her and she called my name which made my tail quiver with a'citement! After we stayed there for a little bit, Momma said we should be heading on and so I waited to hear her make her kissie sound with her lip things and I got up and trotted out with her again.

Off we went down the hall, past the station where all the nurse beans sit. There were some beans in wheelie chairs there so I made sure to put mine shtinky smell on all them. One bean had a neat accent and called me Timity Dickns...like an Irish poodin! It was all way cool! She really knows how to pet a poodin too...gave good scritchies on my bum-bum :)

We went into another room where there was a lady bean in a wheelie chair visiting with her son and daughter-in-law. I knowed they liked me a'cause they said how handsome I was. I'm not one to turn down a compliment! I rolled over on my side so that they could admire my white fluffy belly since they found me so handsome. They really liked that! I got to hear all about their poodin' that used to live with the bean in the wheelie chair. It was a good story. Momma maked her kissie sound so I gotted up and trotted off with my tail held high...

In the next room was a bean that I've seen a'fore. She plays BINGO with Grammie sometimes. She knows me as "the cat in the stroller". See...I go to BINGO too sometimes. It's all way fun to hear the little balls rolling around and around...it makes my ears go back and forth and my eye things get all way BIG. Anyway, I stayed and visited her for a while. Her son was there putting things in the closet so I made sure that the closet was safe by pushing past him and having a good sniff for myself. When I got done with my visit, it was off to see Grammie's dear kind friend. I can't a'member how to spell her name but it's Claire. She's the one that makes the ballies go around and around at BINGO...and she hangs out with Grammie sometimes.

I walked into Claire's room and her roommate said "oh hello Timothy!" Well, I felt right at home there! Miss Mary smiled and said such kind words at me. I sniffed her side of the room and then came over by Claire. She was all way up high in her bed so I didn't get to jump on her...but I did have a nice conversation with her... I said "mew, mroww, meow" and things like that. Momma maked kind words at Claire and Mary and then when I was ready to go, I mewed softly so we said our goodbyes and walked all the way back to Grammie's room.

When we got there, she was all snug in bed and so I jumped up in her window (it was all way dark out a'cause the sun thing went all hidey)...I watched the pond where the water trickles and changes colors. Then a bean came up to the window and said such kind words at me! She said that just seeing me made her heart calmer :) What a kind thing to say! She was sucking on a white thing that smelled all way bad. She laughed and put it up to the screen for me to sniff...it was all way gross. I don't mind that she sucked on it, but I sure wasn't! Yuko! Anyway, she said that she rescued poodins her whole life and saved over 4,000 of them! She says she's an add-vough-kit which didn't mean anything to me, but Momma said it was a good thing. She wented back to sucking on her white stick and I a'cided it was time to come home. I looked at Momma and said so.

Grammie was all way pleased to hear about my visits with the other beans and was all way proud of her grandfurbaby. That maked me happy! So we said our goodbyes and I walked all the way out of the nursing home, in the dark, all the way through the parking lot (where there were all kinds of monsters with wheels sleeping)...and gotted to our monster. Momma thought she was gonna have to hold me, but I waited for her to open the door and then I jumped right into the front seat and sat down. I love to look out the window when we go home...I listen for the clickie sound of the thing that Momma puts on to make turns...that's when I knows we're close a'cause the clickie thing always goes on and the monster with wheels slows down. Tonight was hard to tell though a'cause it was all way dark out. But I gotted out with Momma and went all the way into the house without pulling on my leash or trying to run away! Momma says I'm such a good boy now!
