Thank You All

I can't begin to tell you all what your comforting words mean.
I'm so blessed to have such caring friends in the cat blogosphere.
My feathers have been dragging the ground, but you all give me
hope as I read your encouraging words.
Thanks so much for your purrs and prayers which are so much
appreciated.

Monday Late Night Stinky Whiffies...Kassey

We went to bed later than usual last night.
Mom opened the bedroom window for cool
air and I really enjoyed being in the window.

We have a paper mill in a neighboring town
and when the wind is just right, we get the stinky
whiffies. Even during the day, when Mom goes
out, she smells it on her clothes when she's back
home.

Last night, Mom thought I left the room. I had been
misbeaving as usual. She had closed the door and up
I came from somewhere in the bedroom. MOL I
decided I would go to bed, making her happy for
awhile anyhow. And about 3 o'dark, sky water came
down and it was so nice. It was gentle and Mom left
the window open.
I hope you're all getting nice smelling air where you are.
Mom says, stinky air is better than none. Be Blessed,
effuryone.




 

Sweet Monday Rain

Rain,rain, love it. The temps are in the 60's, like Fall.
We've waited so long for a good soaking rain. And
so far there are no storms predicted for us. I'm so
grateful for that. My hall closet is so stuffed at the
present. I'm still getting rid of excess and TN son
took a lot with  him yesterday. I love those empty
organizers, a relief indeed.

We had a good visit, but sweet Kassey, as she
spoke about yesterday was most unhappy. All is
forgiven and she slept with me for awhile. And of
course the blinds thing started again and out she went.
She is so persistent and she only does the blinds thing
when I'm in the room. If this weren't the case, they'd
be broken. I guess the only thing to do is bring her
food into the bedroom at night. Her bowl of water is
in her bathroom and sometimes the water is running.
Somehow she and I have to get more rest at night.

I may go out today to the T-Mobile store and check
out their smartphones. They really have some good deals
for the holiday. I just don't know which kind to buy or if
I'm smart enough to operate one. This techy stuff is moving
way too fast for me. On that note, have a Blessed week,
everyone

Early Saturday Boomies.....Kassey

In the dark last night, Mom and I were disturbed by boomies.
It was flashing and so noisy and water was falling. We didn't
get up and it soon quit.

Tonight Mom got the closet ready again as the wind started
blowing and raining. She didn't have to tell me what might
happen, but she said we may have to go into the closet yet
again. I hid under the bed, well, I thought I was. Here she
comes with the flashy box. 
Please Mom, not the flashy box. I have seen enough flashes and heard boomies from the sky already. I want to stay here until it's gone, OK Mom?
We had to turn off the 'puter cuz of the bad stuff outside. But we didn't have to enter the closet. We just went to bed, finally.

It's Sunday now and cloudy. The closet is still ready for us, but maybe the sky will be quite today. All this sure makes a kitty nervous.
I hope all you kitties and woofies will be safe and Blessed..

Wordy Wednesday......Kassey

It's pest spray day again and Mom told me to be on watch....I don't think so, Mom
For those who worried that Mom put me outside. No she put me outside the bedroom.
And I protested loudly. She ignored me.She never lets me outside even when I beg. She
keeps telling me that if I let her put my harness on, then we'll go out. My bird TV is showing
more bird channels now, making me happy.
I've been sleeping with Mom part time and she put my fud and water tray in the bedroom.
It pleases her to hear me 'crunch' like she tells me. She tells me 'good girl'. During the day time
she moves it to the fud room.
No sun puddle here. I hope all you furriends have sun puddles and most Blessed.

Worried Wednesday

It's so difficult not to worry especially when our children are having
health issues. It's Andy again who needs prayer. He has been diag-
nosed with Type 2 Diabetes. I never knew anything about this and
still know little about it. His body is holding onto the sugar and won't
release it, not even through the kidneys. He hasn't been well for some
time now and mostly just laying around the house.

Tomorrow, Thursday, he will have the test which scares me. I don't
understand the reasoning behind it. He will drink about 4 ounces of
glucose and it could result in coma or death.

He has no appetite and had not eaten all day the afternoon he had
blood work for this. His Glucose 136 (normal 70-100)
His Insulin was 26.5 (normal 2.9 - 10.1)
       C-Peptide 5.5   (normal  0.8-3.1)
       AST ( SGOT )   13  ( normal  0.8-  3.1

I hope someone can enlighten me on this disease. He told me that his
Dad has this as well so I wonder if it's hereditary. My first thought was
that one of his medications is too blame.
I will post as I know the results of this test.

I sure need the sunshine today, don't we all. I hope you all have sunshine
today and most Blessed.

Thankful Thursday.....Kassey

White stuff fell again last night and I'm thankful for my warm comfy dog and my blankie and
I don't haff to sleep outside. I'm a blessed kitty..

Soggy, Cold Wednesday,etc.

It's a cold rain, 39 F and my girl is napping. I've been doing laundry
and watching Kassey's grass grow...lol  As the sun hides, I've turned
a lamp on the Oat grass and it seems to have shot up since this morning.
The lamp is one of those that is like sunlight, can't recall what you call 'em.

I haven't seen Kassey using her fountain again. Yesterday, she did drink from the bowl like

she was dry as a bone, hard-headed cat. This photo is this AM.

I went barreling down the hall to the laundry nook and she ran across the hall, from her bathroom like
she was guilty of something. I hope she was using her fountain.

The Oat Grass is growing like a weed, so maybe she won't have to wait long.

I had my bamboo there for awhile, but thought I might kill it with kindness, so back to
the kitchen it went.
Having Great Northern Beans for a change, maybe baked Potato, no bread. My new DR.
put me on the DASH diet, yippee. It's no problem if I can avoid sweets and bread. ha, drudgery.
Gonna try to visit today, get caught up. Y'all stay safe, dry and warm or cool wherever you are.
Be Blessed, GGB

Running Water And Open Doors.........Kassey

Last night Mom said it was gonna be really cold. I was worried
watching her let water run and opening  cabinet doors. She explained
to me why she was doing this strange thing. I crouched down in the
living-room, not knowing what to do or what to expect..I followed her
to the bedroom when she asked me to. I just went to get my goodnight
petting. Then I disappeared before she knew it and hid . She called me
but I stayed hidden. I stayed there until  time for me to watch for the
paper man. I started 'meowing' and pawing the window. Mom asked me
if the paper man was in the neighborhood and there he was. He threw it
on our walk instead of the neighbor's, another strange thing tonight. I did get
my usual snack and we went back to bed, in different rooms.
Effuryone , be Blessed.......Kassey

I'm Thankful On This Thursday......Kassey

I'm a blessed kitty and so thankful Mom adopted me. I also am thankful
that she decided not to go to TN Son's today. She did say that she might
go to Walmart. That's OK cuz I know she will be back soon.
I'm so thankful to have a soft bed to sleep on cuz so many kitties don't.

Happy Thanksgiving Effuryone, Kassey

Do I Look Happy??..Pffssssttt.......Kassey

Yesterday was an awful day. Mom said we had tornadoes coming and she 

cleaned out our closet. I always dread that hot closet and this is what she did

to me. I'm a good girl but she said she had to put me in this thing. We did go 

into the closet for a few minutes, but it seemed like the tornado was gonna 

miss us again this time. She let me out for awhile as I had a snack and made

a potty trip. Well, I had to be put in this thing again as the tornadoes kept 

coming and we had to be ready for the closet. She told me she was sorry

that she had to do this. Oh well, at least I didn't have to go to the dreaded 

vet and we were blessed yet again.
