Parker's New Year Eve Annoucement

I am happy to report that I will ring in the New Year with my family. The 'rents are thrilled at my determination. I'm still eating well and napping about 22 hours a day. But I AM STILL HERE! Happy New Years to you and yours. And 2012 smoochies to you from me!

Diamond and the Cookies

Um, no he did not get one...

'Twas The Night Before Christmas...

It's Christmas Eve day and I am taking a nap and waiting for tonight when we get to hear The Night Before Christmas. Mommy has had this book since she was a kitten. It is one of her most treasured possessions (aside from me!). We here at Casa de Parker wish you a happy and cozy Christmas Eve.
Smoochies!

Our Little Shelter



The Board of directors of the Humane Society of Allen County with Santa

Hi kitties - I wanted to show you the board that makes sure the animals at our little shelter are well taken care of. Mommy is the lady standing to the left of Santa. She says her work there makes her heart sing. They are a great group of people and they all have one common goal - to improve the lives of the animals in our county. Mommy says that they are what's called a "working board". That just means that they clean kennels, do adoptions, paint walls, scrub floors and anything else that needs to be done. They also run the shelter on a skinny shoestring. Anyhow, I just thought I'd share this with you.

I'm so very, very tired anymore. I have enjoyed getting holiday cards from all of you and I want to say thanks. I nap most of the time. When I'm not napping I am eating. When I am not napping or eating I am sticking close to the 'rents. Mommy is calling me her Christmas Miracle because I'm hanging in there. No pain and no complaints, but I am slowly fading and sometimes I dream about the Bridge. I'm not scared and I feel surrounded by love. I will try to post more this Christmas week. Mommy has time off from her other job, so maybe I can convince her to help me.

Big smoochies to all of you - I love you all very much and realize your prayers and good thoughts are keeping me going...



In Our Little Corner Of The World...

Goober, with his new forever family!

Hi everyone! I thought I would give you a little update between my naps. As you can see, Goober, the dog who showed up on our front porch (poofy tails!!!) and almost became a member of our family, was adopted last week. Mommy said he's going to a great family who will love him AND he has a dog-sibling. I just hope that they change his name...

As for me, naps are my favorite thing. I am so tired all of the time - well, except when it's time to eat. Yup, I still have my famous appetite and I get treats like you wouldn't believe kitties. I am doing my very best to make sure that I get to see Santa Claws come down our chimney and fill my stocking. That's my 'rents Christmas wish as well. I think your prayers and sweet good wishes are helping me hang on for a while. Thanks kitties and beans.

Our Christmas tree has been up and we take turns napping underneath. It smells wonderful. I don't see very well any longer so my nose has been helping me identify things - like roast chicken and Temptations! I'll say see you later for now, I need to take a little nap. Mommy has not taken a very good photo of me lately, so I leave you with my tried and true profile photo and a smoochie.

Peace kitties, I love you all.

Wordless Wednesday

Hangin' With Santa

Hey kitties! Here I am telling Santa about all of the things I hope that I find in my stocking. This is a very old rug. My Mommy's Mommy made it the year my Mommy was born. That makes it a true antique! It's very cozy and I like hanging out with Santa. I snoopervise the decorating activity from here. The perfect spot for the perfect snoopervisor. I take a lot of nap breaks, but the 'rents appreciate my decorating tips. We're taking things day to day and I am hoping that I have plenty of time to enjoy whatever Santa leaves in my stocking. I'm asking for lots of Temptations and Stinky Goodness.
In other news, my siblings are all doing well. Rudy is fat and sassy, Puff is still gorgeous and Powder is still teenie tiny and full of energy. Diamond is still a dog and I mean that in the nicest way. Mommy has been at our little shelter a lot helping homeless animals get adopted. Guess what? Goober got adopted on Saturday to a great home! Mammy cried a few happy tears. The 'rents are putting the tree up today - it looks pretty good and I think there is a nap under it in my future.
I hope you are all doing well and I feel all of the love and prayers that you send my way.
Smoochies!
