The Rudy Report

Hey kitties - it's ME - RUDY! With your Rudy Report. I am trying very hard to be a good big brother to Parker. As you can see I let her nap next to me in front of the warm and toasty fire. The 'rents are proud of me because I hardly ever tease or chase her. She still has her famous appetite, but she is still skinny. She does not walk fast but she can still jump up on the sofa and radiators. The bed is a little high for her now, so Daddy carries her up the stairs and helps her on to the bed. She still enjoys sleeping by the 'rents heads all night long. She's in no pain, but Mommy says that she is slowly beginning to fade. We all make the most of our time together and Parker loves it when Mommy shares her dinner with her. I think that is the favorite time of the day for her. We thank you for your kind comments, prayers, purrs and encouraging emails. They brighten our days. We also thank you for supporting Parker's hissing and swatting out Diabetes - what a wonderful thing to do!

Soon it will be the day where mommy makes turkey - now that's one of my favorite days!

Keep those tails high kitties and keep praying for my little sis - she plans on being around for a long time. We pray that she gets her wish.

Smoochies from Parker! Purrs from me!



Diabetes Month - We Have A Favor To Ask

I may be feeling poorly, but I still have the energy to hiss and swat at the awful disease of Diabetes. I'd like to ask all of my kitty pals to post this on their sidebar for the month of November to increase Diabetes awareness. Diabetes is a rotten, expensive, time consuming and stupid disease that needs to be wiped off the face of the earth and sent down to basement cat.

I'd like to send special smoochies to Zoolatry who designed this great sidebar.

So please kitties, if you can, help me raise awareness.

Smoochies to all of you - I love you all!

Please Help Me Raise Awareness For Diabetes!

While my brother Rudy is recuperating from his horrible ordeal (he's a little better, but still doesn't feel as fine and frisky as the 'rent's would like), I'd like to ask that you put this sidebar up for the month of November. I have posted three sizes for you to choose from. And if you'd link to The American Diabetes Association, I'd be ever so happy! I talked about Mommy's struggle with this awful disease here and helping us find a cure would be a most awesome thing! Diabetes sux.Thank you so very much.
I'd also like to ask that you keep that little orange menace in your thoughts. He might be a pain in my tail, but he's fun to have around.
Smoochies and thanks to all of you rockin' kitties and woofies!

I Have A Flavor

Me - trying to look sweet and convincing (is it working?)

Well kitties, some of you know that my Mom has Type II Diabetes and I can tell you that it is no fun for her to have it. It effects her life in ways that you may not even imagine. Between the monitoring, the medicine, the pokes, the prods, the food she should not eat, the regular doctor visits, the expense and the worry about how this will impact her health in other ways, well, I just want to find Diabetes and poop on it's pillow! But what would be even better is if we could find a way to cure it and make it go far, far away and leave all of us alone. So I have a little favor to ask all of you - for the month of November would you please take this cool Diabetes awareness pic (thank you Zoolatry!) and put it on your sidebar? Pretty please with Splenda on it?

Parker says "Diabetes Sux!" Srsly.

Thank you - from the bottom of my furry little heart.

Thankful Thursday

Tonight is the night all of the little Trick-or Treaters come and visit us!

I think that I might be joining Powder under the bed!

Thanks to all of you who are posting my badge to raise awareness for Diabetes!

Smoochies!

Wordy Wednesday

Remember this?

How about this one?

Hi kitties, I have a big 'ol favor to ask all of you. You may or may not know that my Mommy has Diabetes. It's an awful thing to have and it sux. She's lucky that she has good health care and she works very hard to keep her blood sugars under control. But there is no cure for Diabetes...yet. The most wonderful Zoolatry made 2 banners for the month of November to help raise awareness during November which is National Diabetes Month. If you would put one on your sidebar we would appreciate it very much! There is a large one and a small one.

It even has my cute little mug on it!

Please and thank-you!

Sunday Stuff With Awards

First of all, you kitties rock! I want to thank every one of you for displaying the American Diabetes Awareness widget on your sidebars. A cure for this rotten disease is something we pray for. So thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!

I am also kind of happy that the Halloween stuff is disappearing. Good bye little pumpkins and scary hanging stuff and the entire 9 trick-or-treaters that came to our home. Yup, we only had 9 trick-or-treaters. Mommy and Daddy were disappointed that there were so few. Now we have about a squillion bags of candy in the house. Mommy does not eat it and Daddy can't eat a squillion bags of candy. I heard talk of it going to a shelter for women. Fine with me, I don't care for sweet stuff.
The Chicago Bears play the Detroit Lions (aka The Motor City Kitties) today. We are a house divided. Don't tell Daddy, but I hope the kitties win!
And there is something very strange going on here...I'll show you guys tomorrow.
Lookie! See what I was given?

I was given this pretty award by Sweet Lovely Ariel

Isn't that so thoughtful of her - thank-you very much!

And the most handsome and charming Tristan bestowed this award to me.
Thank you kind sir!

Smooches,

Diabetes Sux!

Hi Everykitty!

I have a favor to ask of you. I would like to raise awareness about Diabetes. November is national Diabetes month and my good pals at Zoolatry helped me make a badge and a very cool header to remind us that Diabetes is a terrible, sneaky, rotten disease that robs us of our health and our time and our money. You can read a lot about it here. My Mommy has had Diabetes for almost five years and she really hates it. I'd love nothing more than finding a cure for Diabetes and making it go away forever. It's worse than a pack of mean dogs standing in a sea of vacuum cleaners!
So here is the favor - please put my badge on your sidebar so that beans are reminded to take care of themselves (and us!). Eat healthy, exercise, reduce stress and take your medicines if you should. Make sure if you do have Diabetes to check your blood glucose every day! If you beans don't take care of yourselves, you won't be able to take care of us kitties! And that would be awful!
Thanks so very much from the bottom of my kitty heart!
Love and smoochies,
