Wake Me Up Before You Go Go . . .

Hi FURiends. Happy Thursday. This has been a FAST week, don't you think. I swear it was just Monday and here we are in the waning days of the week. I think part of that perceived speed is really just the feel of shorter days. It's dark at MY normal wake up time and it is DARK at dinner time. Those are my daily bench marks. I plan everything around them.

As you can see from this AWFUL photo, thanks Mommy, I am struggling to stay awake today. I got to bed early enough. I am just tired. Tired and . . . chilled. Therefore my cuddling with Mommy have been more often and much LONGER. Clearly it is not just me who is struggling.

I want to let you in on a little secret - I am ALREADY planning my Halloween costume. I am going to SHARE my selection process now and then through the MONTH until we reach that magical of magical days - HALLOWEEN.

I like dress-up therefore I loves loves loves Halloween. As a refresher, here are some of my past favorites

Going PINK

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and therefore ALL month my BLOG will be PINK. Occasionally I may even discuss Breast Cancer and how it affects us all. I really think this is something everyone should be interested in and supportive of even if it has not affected you. But statistically speaking, at one time or another - it will. And it happens to MEN and WOMEN. Therefore it is a HUMAN CAUSE and deserves our full attention. Knowledge is power.

And, I realize a lot of vendors are hopping on the PINK bandwagon and producing pink products with Cancer Awareness ribbons. It is not all about fashion, though. Make sure you are buying from a company that is contributing to cancer research and/or programs to help those with cancer.

That's my soapbox for today.

For the rest of Today I choose to BASK in my pinkness.

Lost and Found and Fun

The talented Cousin E made my hat

Did you notice I went all missing on Friday? I hadn't planned to but, you know, life! This was a very IMPORTANT weekend because my Mommy #1 turned TWENTY-ONE years old. She really did. And that is Cause for a big celebration. Mommy #2 and I were very very BUSY getting things prepared for her celebration. Oh - no. She was NOT having a PAWty. I am afraid that turning 21 is when you celebrate with your FRIENDS and not your mom and dog. It was hard to accept. But, you know . . .

BUT we did have a FAMILY DINNER to celebrate. It included my Cousins E&C and Cousin E's fiance J. It also included Aunts B&T and, of course Mommy #2. The HUMANS went out for dinner and then brought BUNDT cakes home for the candle blowing.

I was so happy for Mommy #1. I only wish I could have stayed with her at university. She didn't think it would work out this time. It is a touchy situation because I am not her official comfort pet. If I were then I could go pretty much everywhere with her and when she needs to calm down (she gets anxious) I'd be there. HOWEVER, the school year is still young.

HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY MOMMY. I loves loves loves you so MUCH!

Molly no longer needs to wear a protective collar - plastic or flower - because today she got her stitches out. She is doing great. It turns out they also removed this rather large fatty tumor she had on her chest along with half a pound of bladder stones. She dropped over half a pound in weight right after the surgery! But she is doing great and TOMORROW she gets a bath. This may not be the most exciting thing to her, but for the rest of us - believe me it is.

We are so happy MY VET came through and took care of her problem. Molly is a much happier puppy now.

Me? I am just trying to figure out what to do next. I have so much I WANT to accomplish today, but it is MONDAY and you know how that goes. Maybe I will take a mini nap and think on it. Yes, that seems like a good idea.

Thursday is a Good Day For . . .

1. Chillin'
2. Ending a Book
3. Finishing an ART project

6. Watching the WORLD go by

8. CHILLIN'

Wordless Wednesday They Say . . .

This isn't what I had in mind when I said I needed more photos of me for my BLOG.

Look how BIG my head looks!

And how SMALL my footies look!

I Need Some New Photos and Other Thoughts

The LADY is slacking off. I demand more new photos of ME and here we are recycling them over and over. It has been almost ONE FULL WEEK since the camera was pointed my way. That will NOT do.

So Let's see what's new. Molly is all better. She gets her stitches out next week. She is all HAPPY and stuff, though, which you can tell in the spring in her step. She has a smile on her face almost all the time. She had so many stones in her little bladder that she just did not feel too well most of the time. And, I remind you, that was almost a full HALF POUND of stones she had taken out. No one was the wiser about those awful stones because her weight never even fluctuated. That was a surprise we could do without.

Mommy #1 is gone back to university. She and Mommy #2 spend all day last Friday packing all of her stuff into Pugsley (the car) and taking it over to her suite. Her suite is more like an apartment than a dorm, BTW. I couldn't go because there wasn't really any room for me in the car (even Mommy's lap was full); but also they determined I might be a distraction. NEVER!

I am kind of sad without Mommy #1 around. Yes, I am lucky because I have Mommy #2 and I do adore her. BUT it isn't the same and all summer I was so happy to have 2 Mommys to cuddle between.

Sun's in my eyes!

Baseball season is winding down. Mommy #2 and Aunt T on Sunday went to the last Oakland As home game for the season. They had fun but the team LOST and that was quite sad. I theorize they lost because they were sad the regular season is coming to an end. This Sunday is the SF Giants' last home game of the season. That will be even SADDER because it is the last home game for Bochy. We sure have enjoyed his time with the club. No one can compare to what he brought to the club. I know I will miss him.

Vlasic and his FurBabies

But you know what baseball season ending means? YES Hockey returns!!! Mommy #1, Aunt T and Cousin C went to a player meet and autograph event last night. They got signatures of ALL (but one) of my favorite players. I am MOST excited about Captain Couture. He is one of my fave players. Then I also really love M.E. Vlasic because it is a well known fact that he LOVES his DOGS!!!. He does a lot for the PETS of Silicon Valley.

AND HAPPY TONGUE OUT TUESDAY
