Walking with The Boyz

If you're short of trouble,
get a goat :)
Mom came into our yard today and saw how wet it
is from all the rain. We do not like rain or wet.
There will be more of it this week.
We wish summer would hurry and get here.
We will be ten years old this spring!
Happy Sunday everyone!

Photo Hunt ~ Fast


Animals are such agreeable friends,
they ask no questions, they pass no criticisms.
-George Eliot-
The Photo Hunt theme for today is FAST.
These are two of our Rainbow Angels that
left for the Bridge this year...
Bandit left us January 3rd, at 15 years of age,
KittyBoy left on March 12 he was just over one year .
Time with them was so fast and we miss them so.
For probably happier Fast themes check out
TNCHICKS Photo Hunt.
Happy Weekend to all our furiends..

Photo Hunt ~ Undesirable



Think occasionally of the suffering
of which you spare yourself the sight.

-Albert Schweitzer-
The Photo Hunt theme today is
UNDESIRABLE
We think puppy mills are one of the most
UNDESIRABLE
things we can think of.
Thankfully, our friends at Marilyn's Voice

rescue and rehabilitate as many of these dogs
that they can. It is hard work and expensive work.
Their organization is named after a puppy mill
dog they rescued. Her vocal cords were cut so she
could not bark at the mill, sadly this is common.
Visit Marilyn's page HERE.

Take a few minutes and visit
Marilyn's Voice (there is a donate button *smile*)

Happy Saturday to all our furiends and their beans!
See what other Photo Hunters found undesirable.

Wordy Wednesday ~ Noah and Miss Emily

The most important thing in illness is never to lose heart.
I have lost another pound and a half, but
feel pretty good. That is me on your left and
my sisfur (not by blood) Miss Emily.
We like to sit in Moms typing chair.
Happy Wednesday!

Photo Hunt ~ Technology


I like my new telephone,
my computer works just fine,
my calculator is perfect,
but Lord, I miss my mind!

Today's Photo Hunt is technology.
As you can see, our Mom has a lot to learn.
Can you tell by my expression that she takes
too many pictures of us?
There are other kinds of technology that we
appreciate, like all these machines that were
hooked up to our Mom for a week in May.

We hope TNChick is all right and will post soon!
Happy Weekend to everyone,
~ Gracie

Furiends Furever Friday

The cure for boredom is curiosity.
There is no cure for curiosity.

-Dorothy Parker-
Long, long ago Patrick and Bob had to stay in
the basement at night because they were so tiny.
This was a sqillion years before Mom even knew what
a digital camera was. During the day they stayed
outside (sometimes they got to come in).
Patrick tried to be taller than me!
They are very big now and have to stay outside.
Bob and Patrick are almost ten years old.
Hope you enjoyed our ancient photos.

Thankful Thursday~Malachi and Napoleon

The day of the sun is like the day of a king.
It is a promenade in the morning,
a sitting on the throne at noon,
a pageant in the evening.
-Wallace Stevens-

Malachi:
Hey Napoleon! What is that brightness??
Should we be afraid??

Napoleon:
My dear Malachi, that is the Sun.
Let us give thanks for the rain, and we are thankful
for the sun, too. We have seen the rain is now moving
up the east coast. We hope all our furiends will stay dry!

Happy Thursday to all..

Tummy and Toesies ~ Maggie Mae

Some people walk in the rain, others just get wet.
-Roger Miller-
Hai furiends!
Mom is thinking about asking if anyone around our
neighborhood is building an Ark or at least a boat!
Bob and Patrick sure are miserable, because they
love to lay in the hot, hot sun.
I'm just going to lay around and show off my
Tummy and Toesies!
Happy Tuesday to all our furiends.
~ Maggie Mae

Dear friends, while visiting our furiends blog, we saw
Purrever Ranch Sanctuary
A Hospice for Senior Kittycats.
Our mom has always wanted to do this for cats that no one
wanted, but due to health and financial situation, she can't..
The next time your human has a couple of extra green papers,
maybe they could go by the ranch and donate a little.
Thanks for reading!
Our furiends, The Whiskeratti is where we found this information!
We thank them for posting about the Sanctuary.

Photo Hunt ~ Veterans Day


We often take for granted the very things
that most deserve our gratitude.

-Cynthia Ozick-
In honor of Veterans Day
this is our Granddaddy-bean in 1942.

He served in France. We wonder if any of the men he
served with are still here. He is last on the right, next
to the visitor, The Phillip Morris man. Mom wishes he
had never started with those cigarettes, as they helped
take his life with emphysema and lung cancer in 1999.
Many of us Bunch knew him, even Bob and Patrick! He and
Mom looked at different goat farms to find just
the right goats for us. Mom misses him a very much.
We honor all our military and hold them in our
hearts and prayers.

Finally Friday ~ Noah

I'm not afraid of storms, for I'm learning to sail my ship.
-Louisa May Alcott-
Mom took me to the vet yesterday. She is worried about
the cancer, but the doctor said I am doing all right. I
tried to tell her that it is cold and I was just resting,
but sometimes she can be hard-headed!
Hope everyfur and bean has a really nice weekend!

Wordy Wednesday ~ Bob and Patrick

If you're short of trouble..get a goat.
Hi Boyz - I managed to get out while Mom was
getting Shorty in! Wasn't that great?!
Before I came here this year, I was an inside
outside cat, but no more. I was glad she let
me stay out for a while and have a bit of grass
with you and share your sunshine!

We're going in now and will tell your NOMSS friend,
Daisy The Curly Cat hello from you!
Happy Wednesday everyfur and everyone.

Make room for Mom

I'd been told that the training procedure with cats was difficult.
It's not. Mine had me trained in two days.

When Mom gets out of bed one of us will hop into her place.
Can you guess which one it is? The remote may give it away.
Left to right we are:
Noah, Malachi, Sara, Napoleon, Jasmine, Anna Sue
and Shorty.
The sun is shining and Bob and Patrick are very happy!
We hope the sun is shining on you, too.

Help for little babycat, Marty!

I believe in animal rights, and high among them is
the right to the gentle stroke of a human hand.

-Robert Brault-


This little babycat, Marty, had a prolapsed anus and was in the ER last night.
After two trips they finally did get the swelling down so he could move his bowels.
If you can, please give a $1 or two to help raise funds for
the permanent surgery that can fix little Marty and give him the life he deserves.

Cats do not have to be shown how to have a good time,
for they are unfailing ingenious in that respect.

Formerly Feral ~ Maggie Mae

A grandmother pretends she doesn't know
who you are on Halloween.

-Erma Bombeck-
I was in a tree at my Grandbeans house about 13 years
ago. It was raining and I was scared. Mom and the
girlbean got me down, but it took THREE days!
Mom took me to a rescue purrson, but they wouldn't take
me. That meant I'd have to go to the county shelter which
is really animal control. Mom didn't want to do that, so
I've been a happy Formerly Feral since that day!
(Mom is not good at fostering, you know)
Happy Friday, and safe Halloween to everybean and furiend!

Thankful Thursday ~ People that rescue

Think occasionally of the suffering of which
you spare yourself the sight.

-Albert Schweitzer-
Trailer full of puppy mill rescues
~
Time to unload and give to rescue groups.
~
All sizes of dogs that will live without misery of..
~
being bred over and over until they are ..
~
no longer useful to the puppy mill owner..
~
No more living on stacked cages with wire for floor
all of their misery filled lives...
~
Beautiful dogs will go to rescue groups to be
evaluated, made healthy, fostered and go to their
Forever Homes!
I want to thank Katzenwoofers Pet Rescue for
these images. She works tirelessly with her rescues,
and is and has a great success record with adoptions.
Read more about Katzenwoofers HERE!

We are Thankful today for people that do rescue work,

Wordless Wednesday~GoD and DoG

I talk to him when I'm lonesome like; and I'm sure he understands.
When he looks at me so attentively, and gently licks my hands;
then he rubs his nose on my tailored clothes,
but I never say naught thereat.
For the good Lord knows I can buy more clothes,
but never a friend like that.
