The Prettiest Gal in O Hi O

She still enjoys the fresh air and the sounds of Spring. We cherish these precious moments with our beautiful Parker Pie. Smoochies and love from her for all of your good thoughts and prayers.

Weekend Plans

I have big plans this weekend. They involve the deck, some sun and shade and a lotta' nip. All kitties are welcome to come over and enjoy the weekend with me. I have to tell you, life doesn't get much better than this. So if you are in the mood for some fun and sun (and 'nip), you know where to find it - the big brick house in our little corner of O Hi O (I'll keep a blue eye out for you!).
Friday Smoochies!

New and Improved 'Nip!

As the Rudester reported on Monday, when the 'rents went on vacation our 'nip plant bought the farm. It was pitiful and I know that this photo is hard to look at. But that's what no water and 90+ degrees will do to a plant. We were very, very sad.

Now, I have to give credit to the 'rents. They felt bad that there would be no 'nip crop to enjoy on those long summer evenings, so Mommy went out and found what was sure to be the last living 'nip plant for sale in our little corner of O Hi O. Daddy was a hero and planted the new nip so we can have party-time on the deck again!

...Extra added value - when the plant is watered, Rudy gets a little sippy. It's all good kitties!

Tentative

Waiting for her gold-plated invitation...

Farewell to the Fireplace

 Puff is a kitty who enjoys a good Hammick in front of the fireplace. It's really more of an addiction. If she hears the fireplace kick on, she comes a-runnin'. It's still chilly enough here in O Hi O for a fire in the evening and Puff is making the most of it. Soon she will have to endure months of no fireplace to warm her teenaged floof and bones. She makes herself feel better about all of this by remembering that it's almost deck time!


Yay!

Double Yay!



The Rudy Report

Salvete kitties, it's me - RUDY! with your Rudy Report! What a nice weekend we had here at Casa De Parker. Out on the deck with a little vitamin D3, a little 'nip and some leaves to bat around. It was all good! After having no tastes of chili last weekend, we got lucky because the 'rents made some turkey thighs in the hotbox - we all had a taste and I am here to tell you that it was gobble-gobble good!
Mommy has noticed that I am a little more mellow than normal. She also noticed that I feel a little lighter when she picks me up to cuddle. So I guess Karma has come to bite me in the 'tocks and I've got to go and see Dr. Joe. At least that isn't until next weekend. I think I am just fine, I'm 11 and a half, it's time that I relax more and spat less. I show no other troubling symptoms, I still play and scratch the big scratching tree with gusto, but Mommy wants to make certain there isn't something wrong that I'm not telling her about. 'Rents - they worry too much!
Our fireplace is waiting for a new part, so Puff is pining away for it. Our computer is still one breath away from going to the great computer heaven in the sky, and our computer guy still says "wait for this great sale that's coming"! So we can still only post and comment a little bit...
AND as you can see by the photo, Parker is trying to hog in on my time. Some things never change!

The Rudy Report

Hello there kitties! It's me - RUDY! with your Rudy Report! Life is good when it's Autumn and there is a lot of access to the deck. It's also good when pork chops get baked and I get a taste. It's heaven when 'nip is introduced to the mix and we get to fly our freak flags with the kitty crazies.
But you know what made my week? When the man in the bloo shorts brought this to the house...

In case you couldn't read it...

Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha!

For whom does the bell toll for Parker??? It tolls for thee!

Tattle Tail Tuesday

This jar is responsible for the following calico behavior...

and this shameful floofy display...

along with this final 'nip induced move...

Let this be a warning to you young kitties out there, 'nip will give you a serious case of the sillies. This beautiful, normally reserved calico is 12 years old...look at her! Tsk. Tsk. Tsk.

The Rudy Report

Why, yes, that is 'nip in my furs...what of it?

Kumusta ka? kitties! It's me! RUDY! with your Rudy Report! What a glorious fun-filled weekend it was here in O Hi O. We had deck time, TV time (which usually is great, but football + Daddy = LOUD!), and we helped Mommy clean out her closets for winter-time. Good times, kitties, good times...
But the very best part? HAMLOAF!
Daddy made HAMLOAF! HAM!HAM!HAM!HAM!
oh...sorry...I get a little excited about HAMLOAF! And we got a little taste! Mommy would not eat it 'cause he put green peppers on it, which, according to Mommy is the devil's vegetable. Daddy picked the onions and peppers off of it for us.

Behold the awesomeness -

Yum.

Welcome To The Weekend

Mommy says that it has been a week full of Mondays. It's time to shake off that feeling and celebrate the weekend. Anyone care to join me? The sun is out and the 'nip is fresh - let's make the most of it!

A Very Happy Girl...

Formerly Feral Friday

Thankful Thursday

Powder is thankful that if the wind blows or if a leaf falls or if anyone looks at her the wrong way that she can run back inside from the deck and watch the action from a kitty-approved safe distance!

Thankful Thursday

I was thankful this weekend for the sun and the 'nip and a little furmination. Mommy was thankful for something else. I don't get it...

Wordless Wednesday

Giving Chillaxin' A New Meaning...

Guess Where I am?!?

I am sooooooo happy!

The Rudy Report

Yoo-Hoo kitties, it's me Rudy with the Rudy Report!

We got to go out on the deck! WooHoo! I must say it was an awesome day - the sun was there, we had 'nip and I took a snooze in the sun. I chased some leaves and caught a few, you can see me here laying an a leaf I had just deaded!
Mommy found a big mat on my back and tried to Furminate it out of me. I politely said no. Then she tried to cut it out. I said no again, without the polite part.
I hope she just forgets it's there. The last time she saw a mat I had to go the the ::shudders:: groomers!
And oh! oh! oh! Mommy cooked these yesterday! Yummy! We all had tastes and can report that it is deeeelish! Oh, Mommy said to tell you we did not get any of the spicy parts, just the meat part.
Did you know that Michigan plays O Hi O state next Saturday??? Since Mommy bleeds Maize and Blue and we live in O Hi O it's always a real good time around here.
Our Michigan flag is already flying!
Until next time kitties, stay cool and be the best kitty you can be!
This is Rudy signing off...
