Quick Fire Update 30 Nov 2015 8:06 PM (9 years ago)
Hi Everyone! Ok, so here is a quick fire update. We are still stuck at Brad's parents house, with all the cats in one room. Which is so not easy. Stella is drinking less a got a bladder infection (better now after meds and can I just tell you I have never had a cat that was so easy to give medicine too). And now today Virgil has a bald patch on the back of his head -
FIRE! 20 Oct 2015 4:43 PM (10 years ago)
Ok so let me start out by saying that all humans and cats are fine. The reason I haven't posted in a while is that we had a pretty major fire at our house. I don't want to get into it too much but it was related to the dryer (not the vents) and the laundry room is trashed. Unfortunately the electrical panel, HAC, and water heater are in that room. Fortunately I remembered to
Lola Update 21 Sep 2015 3:21 PM (10 years ago)
Hi Everyone! Thanks for all the support with Lola. Honestly it isn't the best news but it is better than what I feared after everything with Floyd a few years ago. The good news is that she really tolerates her shots well - that was something I was a little worried about. But she has been great - I give her a little treat after so I think that is part of it (I actually think she
New Puppies and Nail Polish 11 Sep 2015 4:00 AM (10 years ago)
So as I am pre-writing this and scheduling it, I don't have an update on Lola (I will try to get one together for next week, but honestly I just published the post about her about 2 minutes ago, so I haven't got anything new right now) but I wanted to post a couple things.
First, I wanted to post a picture of my aunt and uncle's new puppy Petey - he is a Caviler King Charles Spaniel
Lola 8 Sep 2015 3:08 PM (10 years ago)
So I noticed last week that Lola was seeming a bit thinner then she had been, and had been drinking a lot more water then before, and at her age I know that can be a bad sign, so I decided to take her to the vet over the weekend. Apparently she lost a couple teeth which I didn't notice (I honestly feel terrible I didn't notice, but I really don't look in their mouths
And the Mystery Tuxie is..... 7 Aug 2015 7:30 PM (10 years ago)
Drumroll please..........
TRIXIE!!
I know it is tough to tell - like I said there are times I can't really tell to be honest with you. The main differences are that Trixie has white fur around her nose, but of course you can't see that too well in the picture. She is rounder than Virgil but again, in that picture it is hard to see that. The one thing
Ok technically she isn't my cat........ 6 Aug 2015 7:30 PM (10 years ago)
Wow, two posts in a row! Ok, so I don't plan to complain about work anymore on here, because my goal is just to not think about work if I am not there. But the field guys I work with (or sadly used to work with since many have left) are awesome, even if there are other issues. Two of them are huge animal lovers like me. One (who left a few weeks ago) was a dog person
PICTURES!!!! 5 Aug 2015 6:31 PM (10 years ago)
Ok so this is a bunch of pictures that I think are cute of the kitties that I don't think have ever been posted before. I haven't really had a chance to get back into visiting yet (amazingly work has gotten worse - 2 guys have quit since my last post) but I wanted to at least post some pics in the mean time,

Ok so we were gone longer than planned again! 8 Jul 2015 6:16 PM (10 years ago)
So I have no idea what is up with blogger since I have been gone - it looks like it has gone wacko.
Sorry we disappeared so long again - my job is just so so horrible - 4 people have already quit, everyone has gone to HR about the manager and they just don't care and do nothing, so I am trying to find a new job.
But the cats - the cats are good. Crazy, but good. Sleeping for
Aww,shucks! 29 Dec 2014 4:45 PM (10 years ago)
Thanks for the warm welcome back everyone! I haven't really had much of a chance to visit yet but plan to start on that this week. I am hoping to post a couple times a month at least from now on. And I am hoping that the cats will cooperate and let me take some good pictures of them - I did get a few the past couple days, including this great one of Gus, Barney and Stella all
Holy Cow are we back?!? 27 Dec 2014 9:30 PM (10 years ago)
Hey everyone! I know it has been a VERY long time since I posted anything on here and a LOT has gone on. Work has actually gotten worse - I know hard to believe - and it just is stressing me out so much! For the most part the cats are doing great, but sadly Kirzon passed away last year at the ripe old age of 17. I know he had a good life with us but I miss him lots all the time. Barney has
Sorry we disapeared again! 6 Sep 2011 7:56 AM (14 years ago)
Hi Everyone! I just wanted to do a quick we are still here we swear post - I just felt crappy since last week and wasn't up to any computer viewing. And boy, I am so behind in visiting I just want to cry to be honest (and I know it is the whole blogging with out obligation thing but that just isn't me). Work is crazy and I thought I could visit but turns out I have about 2 minutes today to just
Happy First Birthday Trixie!!! 27 Aug 2011 8:45 AM (14 years ago)
Thanks Ann from Zoolatry for the great birthday picture!!
So today is Trixie's First Birthday! Well, at least it is sometime around today - see we aren't quite sure, because Trixie, and her brother Leo, and their sisters, were found by Chrystal as tiny feral kittens - and we aren't 100% sure when they were born. But Chrystal estimated they were 7 weeks old, and counting back from there brought us
Time for smiles 26 Aug 2011 4:03 PM (14 years ago)
So after all the sadness in the CB, and all the crappyness I have had at work lately, and the fact I haven't been able to visit I decided it is time for some smiles. Tomorrow is Trixie's first Birthday (or as close as I can figure out it is - it is the day that we have picked at least). She is going to be one year old. Her brother Leo, who lives with his new sister Star, has a blog, Celestial
Sad News 25 Aug 2011 6:36 AM (14 years ago)
I was so sad today - when I finally had a few minutes to check in on friends, we learned that our dear friend Misses Peach had to leave to go to the bridge. She was another one of the blogs we followed early on, and she was just such a wonderful sweet cat. We know a lot of friends were there to meet her when she arrived, including Floyd.
Then I saw that little Beignet, who was being adopted by
Pictures 22 Aug 2011 4:06 PM (14 years ago)
So here are some random pictures of the cats that I took on and off. They tend to sleep more in summer since it is hot so it is hard to get many pictures of them doing anything. But first I wanted to post a picture of a pendant I made for a friend of mine. She has been sick, and she decided to get a tatoo of her dog Kali's paws, so I asked her to scan me a copy and I made her a pendant of Kali's
Quick update 22 Aug 2011 7:49 AM (14 years ago)
hi Everyone. I am so sad we haven't gotten to visit at all lately. I miss you so much - I can't even explain how it makes me crazy not keeping up. Anyway, this is just a quick update. Kirzon didn't get his booster, he is back on antibiotic. He usually takes a couple days for it to kick in so hopefully it will work and he can go with when it is time for Barney's annual check up next month.
Sorry we disapeared! 16 Aug 2011 7:52 AM (14 years ago)
It has just been so crazy and stressful lately - but hopefully it will be getting better soon. My office is the same but we did find out we get our 5 paid sick days still - we still get our demerits (they call them points but whatever) and we still have a new timeclock and won't be able to do any sort of comp time (like skip lunch and leave early for a doctors appointment or things like that -
Behind again! 10 Aug 2011 6:26 PM (14 years ago)
Hi Everyone. Well we are behind again. Work is awful (they took away our paid sick time, and on top of that if we do need to take sick time - unpaid - we will now be punished with what I can only call a demerit system. And you will get demerits if you need to leave early for a doctors appointment or something, even if you make up the time by skiping lunch and still work a full 8 hour day - it is
Blogger is being bad today 8 Aug 2011 3:52 PM (14 years ago)
So I have been trying to visit but getting a weird error:
Your current account (gmail email address was in here - would prefer not to have that just out there for bots to find) does not have access to view this page.
So even if I want to comment now blogger isn't letting me - very rude. I have been able to use other options (mainly entering name and url) when possible but it won't even let me
World Cat Day! 8 Aug 2011 7:23 AM (14 years ago)
I will have our actual post later today but I wanted to at least get this up - since it is Gus and all!
It's our 3rd Blogoversary!! 6 Aug 2011 9:01 PM (14 years ago)
Thanks to Ann from Zoolatry for the pictures!!
Hi Everyone! Wow, I can't believe we have been blogging for three years!! I had started a couple blogs in the past and kept up with them for oh, a week or two, and then just got bored or busy and stopped. But this was different - first, it was about the cats. So there was always something to write about (even if it was just hey, everyone is the
Bora Bora Day with Barney! 3 Aug 2011 9:01 PM (14 years ago)
Hi Everyone! This is Barney. I get to do the blog today, because my beautiful girlfriend Gracie is hosting a special day - Bora Bora day!
See she decided to take a trip there because her mom wasn't able to help her blog like she wanted - this way her mom didn't need to worry about blogging and she got to take a nice trip! And of course, I had to join in the fun - except that well, I only got
Virgil's Gotcha Day! 1 Aug 2011 9:01 PM (14 years ago)
Wow, with all the craziness going on, I almost forgot about Virgil's gotcha day today! So I thought I would write a bit about how we got Virgil - our first kitten in years - and the start of what would become a crazy house of cats!
So, it all started in 2008, I am guessing on July 26 (or right around there). I went in with Floyd, and they told me about a kitten that had been brought in - he was
