SCAT-andulus!

As I was rummaging through my wardrobe this morning, I noticed my NEW JACKET was missing. Impossible, I thought. I don't have THAT many clothes that some could easily go missing - where did I put the silly thing? I have not even WORN it yet!
So I looked in my Sock Monkey bed, my Snoopy bed and on (and under) Mommy's bed - Nothing.
I looked in the closet and on the coat rack - nothing.
Then it struck me -

Farewell Darling Emmitt

One of the first followers to my blog was Emmitt (and Melissa). I LOVED having such an instant connection to new FURiends and friends. And when I checked out their blog and etsy store I was instantly in LOVE with them. So much love and fun all in one spot.
So when I read this morning that sweet Emmitt had joined Cyrus, Stubby and Betty over the Rainbow Bridge, I could not stop the overwhelming sense of sadness that I felt. So while I am happy that they are free from their earthly pains and problems, I am sad at the loss of their lights here on earth.
Thank you Emmitt for blessing my life so much.

Love a TEARY Noodles

It's SUCH a SurPRIZE!

The mailman (really is a man otherwise I would have written mailwoman) arrived at my house yesterday with a package addressed to ME! What???? I didn't order anything - although I had ASKED Mommy really really nicely for some special BULLY STICKS which she IGNORED.
Anyhow, here I was faced with a dilemma - do I open it right here and now or do I wait for Mommy #2 to return home from work?
I chose to OPEN the PACKAGE

ONE of my prizes

It was my PRIZE from Rocket Dog and Hooties' costume contest. If you read their post, I won Cutest Costume for my NOW FAMOUS Mickey Mouse ears.
So, inside the package was the above PIGGY (my new most favorite toy), a Bedhead squeaky toy AND a treat holder for attaching to my leash (and Mommy led me to believe that the WALK was the TREAT). OMD!!! This is beyond exciting. Thanks RD and H for hosting the most awesome side contest to Mango Minster 2011 (aside from mine, that is) AND awarding me a prize!

YAWN! Smack! Smack! Smack!
I need
a
nap
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!

Thankful Thursday

At LAST our HEATER has been FIXED!

I had forgotten what being WARM was like.

Shiver Me Timbers

This is how cold it has been in our house lately. Well, IT SEEMS this cold. I am so cold despite my multiple layers of fur that I have taken to wearing sweaters indoors and finding my way under blankets. I know a lot of you live in SNOW COUNTRY, but we are talking the temperate zone called SF Bay Area in California! It's not supposed to EVER be cold. And I heard it was going to be COLDER later this week. Maybe even SNOW in the South Bay - where NO ONE knows how to drive in the RAIN much less SNOW and ICE!

My family does tend to keep the house cool, turn off unnecessary lights, unplug unused appliances. Granted. But the truth of the matter is ENOUGH WITH THE SUFFERING!
You see, our heater broke and the part is ON ORDER. In the meantime we just have to BUNDLE UP and suffer.
Oh me oh my!
Did SOMEONE say Spring is coming EARLY?
I certainly hope so.

I Love My Mom

For the first time in over a year, I got to see my Mom - my FUR Mom, that is. She happened to be in town visiting and my Mommy #2 arranged to meet up with HER Mommy.
I was very nervous all morning and could hardly control my behaviors. They were ALL OVER THE PLACE and getting me in trouble!
But then the time came to leave the house - during the most ridiculously heavy rainfall this region had ever seen. It took forever to get to her but finally we got to the place, found a parking spot a MILLION miles away, and trod through the pouring rain until we reached the place she was staying.
It took just one glance to know which PUG was my mom. I look a lot like her, you know. Then Mommy #1 took me over to speak with her.
But there were no words to adequately say what we had to say - so we just looked each other in the eyes and touched noses.
Nothing more was needed.

Just Another Chilly Rainy Monday

Monday dawned all GRAY and CLOUDY
I just don't feel like being all active and LOUDY
Mom's at home because of the HOLIDAY
Cuddling for warmth in BED she will STAY
The birds are TOGETHER all huddled like Football PLAYERS
And Sunshine the Cat lies in the CLOSET beneath some LAYERS
It seems like a good day for keeping it LOWKEY
And making the best of time with my MONKEY
