We Honor and Remember

Gettin' My Weekend On!

Hey kitties! We have a long weekend here in O Hi O. We plan on chillaxin' with the 'rents, catching up on all of the kitty news and smelling the great scents that come in through the open windows. I hope you all have a good weekend. Porch kitty has some pretty posies for you!
Smoochies!

Drama In O Hi O!

We were very lucky on Monday night. The weather got very scary. Tornado sirens were sounding and we needed to stay safe. Mommy was at our little Humane Society - she had to volunteer that night. Daddy was home with us. He knew we needed to get in the basement and take cover. So you know what he did all by himself? He gathered all of us kitties and took us to the big scary basement! He said that Diamond was his foreman and helped. We had never been in the basement before and it was not somewhere we thought we wanted to be. Especially Powder - Daddy told Mommy that for such a little kitty, she sure has a big attitude, and very, very sharp claws.
After it was all safe, Mommy came home and helped Daddy and Diamond pry us out from our hiding spots in the big scary basement and get us back to where we knew where we were. We hope that in the future big storms stay away from us. Our hearts break for the poor kitties and doggies and people in Joplin.
But now we know, no matter how much we fuss and do not cooperate, our Daddy will always make sure that we are safe. And he has the scars to prove it. We love you Daddy! And THANK YOU!

The Rudy Report

Hey there kitties! It's me - RUDY! With your Rudy Report!

Mommy said that I am the cutest couch potato that she's ever known. Who am I to disagree? Since we had some rain this weekend I had to make do with some sofa-snoozes. That was OK, it's closer to the kitchen where there was steak! And chicken livers! Good smells out there.

Mommy's new position with our little Humane Society is keeping her very busy. But like I said, it's OK - I know it's helping those animals get forever homes. She'll have to tell you about it some day!

By the way, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MISS ML! We love you!

Lilacs In O Hi O

This is a photo taken of me and some lilacs last year, but it is one of my favorites. A sweet comment left yesterday by the boyz about an old tune made me think of it. Thanks boyz for the happy memory. Our lilacs smell and look pretty this year - I just didn't get my picture taken with them...

Springtime In O Hi O!

Our little corner of O Hi O is in bloom!



Pretty flowers are everywhere!



Mommy has herbs to cook with...



Siegfried has posies to enjoy.


 

I remain the prettiset posey of them all!
Smoochies!

The Rudy Report - NOT!



I have the right to remain cute...

Well...maybe not as cute as Rudy as a mere babe...

He turned 12 on Friday. I may or may not have shut down Blogger to avoid all of the Hoopla.

Yeah, he's cute, he's the one on the right. A suck-up right from the start.

He got pretty sick last year. We all were so worried, it took a lot out of all of us.

He's fine now. Big and bad and hard to diaper.

As brothers go, I guess I got lucky in that department.

I turn 10 in August. And I'm the baby.

Mommy says that she sometimes gets a little leaky eyed when people suggest that we are all Geriatric. I remind her that we are all here now. All of us, happy and healthy. That's the secret to happy, keep the love from the past in your heart, keep the love you get now in front of your whiskers.  If only beans could remember that.  Live for the moment kitties!

*The Rudy Report will be back next Monday, if I let it...

The Rudy Report

Qué tál kitties - it's me - RUDY! with your Rudy Report!

For some of you who remember us back when we lived in Kansas City Missouri, you may remember that Mommy volunteered at Wayside Waifs. She has missed being a part of animal rescue and adoption ever since we moved to O Hi O. We have continued to donate and help in other little ways, but something was missing for her. Well kitties, she's gone and done it again. She was approached last month to become a board member at our little local humane society. She accepted.

At this little humane society board members don't just sit and plan stuff. They mow grass, clean cages and do just about anything that is needed. And kitties, there is a lot of need. A whole lot of need. I'll probably tell you more - but for right now just know that Mommy is overwhelmed (in a good way) and busy planning how to improve the situation we have here for homeless animals in our little corner of O Hi O.

I'm happy that she's started helping again, but it's cutting into her Rudy time. I suppose it's OK, cause these animals need help. So I'm gonna suck it up and be a good mancat about all of this...

A Sweet Moment

The Rudy Report

We can share...really.

allo,bonjour kitties! It's me - RUDY! with your Rudy Report! I thought I'd never be able to give my report again! Mommy is off and running with her new computer, there is a lot to learn, but she's hanging in there. I like that it's fast and I can watch myself on videos and zip through the internets without getting kicked off.

We celebrated Diamond Doggie's birthday on the deck with some 'nip and some catgrass. It was awesome. We have pretty flowers planted and the doors are open so we can sniff through the screens. Bliss, pure bliss.

Here's to a week that keeps your tail high!

Happy 9th Birthday Diamond Doggie!

Happy Birthday to the best woofie we know!
We love you very much!
Who's a good boy?
