WHERE are the TREATS !?!

Not that real chicken stuff you make the dogs! The real crunchies that come in the silver & purple pouch.

** WHERE ARE THEY ... Please go to the store if we are out. **

Appreciated,
Little-est Bunny

We love May!

Hey ya furries,

We are just figuring out how to use the new layout.

This is Miss Simba! She was scared of the sprinkler, but not anymore.

Me, I'm not scared of it. I've got better things to do than worry about water! ... Like chasing moths & chasing Miss Simba. Hee hee.

Flower's big event via Daisy Jiji

/

Hey all you Kitties out there ... It's me DaisyJiji !

Youngest kitty of the bunch & best friend to the doggies in my house.
Yes yes I am.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE these big ole doggies!

That's me in the pic below with them, King & Flower.

I show those doggies how to eat grass.

Mom says that I must be watched by all of us when I am outside. WHAT!?!

Me ... I would never trot off ... Okay, well yes I would. ((silly wiggle))

Anywhoo ... The story.

Flower is only 7 months old & she had a crazy day yesterday!

Read on:

We call her Flower POWER. Cuz she is a force of nature.

Nothing like Mr. King.

Flower is a wild girl.

Mom says she is a working doggie. Needs to be busy.

Mostly she is busy chewing on Mr. King's ankles or licking my entire head. ((ick))

Well, yesterday mom took the doggies to the dog park & Flower got in big trouble.

Yep! Mom says she got herself busy into the bottom of a crazy dog pile.

EEEK.

Big men at the dog park braved the frenzied pile & got Flower out.

Mom says Flower boohooed a bit.

Everyone at the dog park was mortified. ((nice of them))

Mom hoisted all 40 pounds of Flower up into her arms & carried her out like a big basket of Flowers. ((Ha ha!)) Just like a bunch of heavy white tulips. Imagine?

I hear Flower was wagging her tail the entire way. Like a goofy white flag of surrender.

Mom said Mr King was bouncing around like a village idiot nipping on Flower's furry white toes. Dogs honestly they have no brains ... I know this firsthand. Gah!!!

More ...

When they came home our mom promptly lifted Flower onto the kitchen counter.

WHAT ... I was so mad! That is my domain. So I glared at this & turned my back on them.

Flower licked mom's face while mom examined every inch of her poop/leaf covered body.

That hound smelled bad. What is in that dog park anyway? Is it just a big litter box?

Gross!

Mom found nothing of interest & lifted her down.

She walked all around the kitchen with a very happy face.

Mom washed her own face. Dog licks are hard to remove. I know!

Next ...

I "heard" from Tannie Man, he watched this ... Not sure if we should believe him.

Hmmm?

But Tannie says Flower took a BATH. In the house! NO.

Gah ... I drink from a bathtub. Horrors ...

Tannie says mom plunked that crazy Flower into the guest bathtub.

He claims to have watched the entire bathing event.

He says Flower loved it.

Mom served up warm bubbly water with special doggie shampoo.

Flower really loved the extensive neck washing ... lots of icky stuff there.

Tannie says Flower was gazing at mom with love in her eyes. (whatever!)

Good news, this DID NOT HAPPEN IN MY BATHTUB. Phew!

Tannie watched Flower drink from the faucet. Eww.

And then Flower shook ... Oh my!

I guess there was water & poo everywhere.

Tannie ran off at that point. He is a smart kitty.

Glad I missed that!

The good news is Flower is clean, happy & healthy looking!

She got to sleep in a very clean & warm quilt from the laundry room ... Wow.

Tomorrow she is going to visit the "horrors" VET.

Mom had to give Mr. King a special treat ... he felt very left out & had his sad face on.

As for myself ... Well, I had to sneak up on Flower while she slept & sniff her furs.

I also licked her ear a little bit.

She smelled really good ... like a Flower!

xxoo

Daisy Jiji

Cutest kitty of the land

=^..^=

Ps. For the Poupounettes:

(old unpublished post for you!)

Our Mom is very remiss in providing details of the puppy, Flower aka Flower Power!
I saw in the last post that you had left a comment regarding the pup.
The pup-tales below are from our Mom.
Meantime I will be off to enjoy the cool crisp weather ... In hopes of seeing a little green lizard via the screened in porch.
xxoo Miss Daisy Jiji

Dear Poupounettes,
I have been a very busy puppy-Mom wrangling all the critters in the house.
Puppy rearing is a daunting task not to be taken lightly ... And with much love!

June 2011 I realized Mr. King needed a buddy & girlfriend. Daisy Jiji was doing a great job of being a good kitty pal. But she was not up to the task of wrestling or chasing squirrels with. In addition, Daisy Jiji is a solo girl. She prefers her own company in her adventures.

Mid June I began a puppy search for the right pal for King & the kitty clan. I needed a small dog with good kitty mojo or a puppy with some spunk. I tried with breed specific rescue organizations ... Filled out all the forms, altered my vet for the reference phone calls & WAITED. And WAITED.

Like obtaining King, I had no patience (King came from Craigslist) I needed a dog now! All the dogs I tried to adopt, were adopted before I could see them or the foster homes were busy & could see me in a couple weeks - Hmmm, I think they were attached to the dogs!

Finally I decided to go to Operation Kindness a wonderful no-kill rescue facility. I decided to go with my instincts & get the dog or puppy that caught my eye. The day I went I found a sweet brown puppy! After waiting an hour for the staff to find the pups records it turned out it had already been adopted. Alas I went home with no puppy. It was hard to leave without adopting another kitty! So many pretty kitties ... All in a safe & wonderful place. So I drove home without a doggy pal for King.

A week later I woke early in the morning & decided to go back to Operation Kindness. I had been on their web site and had seen no update regarding puppies. By this time I had decided to get a puppy after discussions with the staff, due to my kitty clan. We agreed a pup might adjust better to my existing group the best.

I walked up to the door to find the facility wasn't open yet. Already a small crowd had gathered outside. I peeked into the window to see if there were any puppies in the lobby. I saw some little bitty Dachshunds & some German Shepherd pups. Um, nope ... Not quite right.

They opened the door ... We all herded in. I decided to take a seat in the lobby & chat with the staff once everyone received help & was settled in. About 10 minutes later a door in the back opened & out came staff with a bag of shredded newspaper along with a little fence. Right behind were 3 teenage girls, each holding a wiggling white fluff ball: Lillie, Millie & Tillie.

I fell in love!

One of the 3 pups was extra fluffy ... And before her paws touch the newspaper I had her in my arms. My new puppy!

Flower came home with me July 7th.
She had been fixed & she was a spitfire! The drive home was hilarious ... She tinkled in her crate, growled at me, barked fiercely periodically & then spent most her time watching the world go by in the car. Fearless is how I would describe her trip home. The minute she saw King she went straight for his mouth & hasn't stopped licking it since. =^,,^=

About Flower:
She loves King.
She is a Taurus.
She is 4 months old.
She & Daisy Jiji have found their happy place, finally.
Above all, she & King spend hours wrestling. HOURS!
She gets into all kinds of trouble ... Beyond King's puppy days!
She take everything away from King in the house - He loves it.
She guzzles water out of the hose with vigor & finds a good mud bath rejuvenating.
King is the best 'puppy' dog. He lets her bites his ears, legs, tails & any other body part that goes by her mouth.

Flower's first visit to the dog park was great, very different from King. She has tons of confidence, has places to go & people to greet. Upon entering the park now, all the humans call out her name & she runs like the wind into their laps. A 20 pound cream puff!

We adore her!

WCTs Mom

Dear Alice ... We shall miss you. Quite a bit ...

&
Dearest Bloggyville,

Our sweet friend Alice, from We are the Rose Jugglers, has made her way over The Rainbow Bridge today.
We are very sad to know that she has left, but happy that she is amongst friends.

She was the first doggie to inspire our mom to get King & Flower.
Our mom loved to take walks with Alice & her mom.
Alice was the first doggie friend King made in the big city & he loved to walk with her.

On every walk, she would sniff everyone's front yard with her wonderful black nose!

Alice's bark was fantastic.
As a beagle mix, she could really get that bark going for all to hear ... Loud & clear.
She enjoyed fuzzy toys & soft blankets to snooze on.


She brought so much joy to her family & all those that met her.
Alice was a truly sweet dog with the most beautiful ears ...


For you Alice this very special poem ...

The Rainbow Bridge
(inspired by a Norse legend)

By the edge of a woods, at the foot of a hill,
Is a lush, green meadow where time stands still.
Where the friends of man and woman do run,
When their time on earth is over and done.

For here, between this world and the next,
Is a place where each beloved creature finds rest.
On this golden land, they wait and they play,
Till the Rainbow Bridge they cross over one day.

No more do they suffer, in pain or in sadness,
For here they are whole, their lives filled with gladness.
Their limbs are restored, their health renewed,
Their bodies have healed, with strength imbued.

They romp through the grass, without even a care,
Until one day they start, and sniff at the air.
All ears prick forward, eyes dart front and back,
Then all of a sudden, one breaks from the pack.

For just at that instant, their eyes have met;
Together again, both person and pet.
So they run to each other, these friends from long past,
The time of their parting is over at last.

The sadness they felt while they were apart,
Has turned into joy once more in each heart.
They embrace with a love that will last forever,
And then, side-by-side, they cross over… together.

Lots of love,
The Whippy Curly Tails
=^..^=

PS. We will see you there one day sweet Alice.
Love,
The Little Bunny

Summer 2011 - BFFs

Hey everyfurry!

Hope the last couple of months have been fun.

We wanted to check in & say Hi !
We are all happy & healthy.

More later ...
Purrs & woofs,
WCTs

WHAT a p.u.p.p.y ?

~ BOO
Strange things have been going on around here! Look deep into my eyes ... Do you see that white fluffy thing? She is only 7 weeks old & a wild girl!

She 'yips' at me really loud. Odd? Well, I have hissed at her until I can't hiss anymore. So, if ya can't hiss at them ~ Join them. Uh, sorta!

She sleeps under mom's feet. Mom moves her into King's dog bed & she just waddles back onto the cement in the dining room under mom's feet. (Mom is embarrassed that the floors are still bare. AND she is flipped out that the white thingy likes the cement just like King.)

Best of all King loves the white thingy. A LOT!

The white thingy loves King back. A LOT! Look at them running ~ I watched from the patio.

The white thingy likes to give mom the bitey. A LOT! Hee Hee. Mom yips a lot. A LOT!

We rescued the white fluffy thingy last week from a safe furry rescue place & have given her a temporary name. Well ... mom calls her a bunch of things: pinball, cupcake, baby, pumpkin, hey-you, NO-not-there, Daisy Jiji - yep she gets confused & calls the white thingy my name. No big deal.

We are looking for a name from one of the Hayao Miyazaki movies. I was named after the black cat in Kiki's Delivery Service: Jiji. Mom needs to watch a lot of movies to find a name. Ponyo, Kiki ... Maybe too close to Jiji. Maybe Mei from My Neighbor Totoro ... ? Will keep you posted.

Also we aren't sure what she is. Mom will have blood work done to see what the DNA says. She did that with King. Mom got tired of people saying King was a Rottweiler. Pfft! Mr. King is a whopping 65 pounds of: Boxer, Schnauzer & bunches of Plott Hound.

Anypurrs ... We are all happy! Especially Mr. King. He is not sad anymore or lonely for a doggie friend. He has a new friend. A forever white thingy friend ... That chases him & chews on his tail, ears ... Even rolls on his head!

BTW, mom watches them very closely when they play. King has to be rescued most of the time! Hee hee. At night the white thingy sleeps in a big cage in King's rooms & loves snuggling in his old dog bed. She falls asleep watching King snore from across the room. The first night she howled like crazy ... So mom moved her into King's rooms the next night ... All are happy now!

Purrs,

Daisy Jiji

Happy FurryHolidays to all you Whippy Tails!

Daisy Jiji here aka Crazytown!

Mom has been very busy with that dog - KING! But she has found time to read thx to her iPhone. Sad for me, cuz I really enjoyed chewing on the paper pages as she turned them.

Oh well. At least I get to rub under the nose of the King. That upsets Mom. She thinks King will just lick my head off while I purr. No way ... He likes his treats better than me! But I still make Mom crazy by snuggling up to the big 50 pound pup - He is almost 6 months old. I LIKE HIM A LOT! So much that I purr really loud when I see him. He respects me cuz I whap him on the nose if he gets to frisky. Mom says I've trained him better than her. YES I HAVE!

Anyways ... Look to the right of this post & you'll see the books on Mom's reading list.
She loves this new site called Goodreads.
If you are on there let her know!
She would love to see what you're reading or have read.

Meantime ... Below are pics of 4 of the 6 of us!
First ME ... Waiting for the waters to fall. Always.
Then Tannie Man ... He loves the waters to fall.
Little Bunny ... She does NOT like the waters to fall. She just wants a water pond in the tub.

The tub is a very social place in the morning & at night. We all want something different.

Blackie likes his own water from the bathroom sink.

Miss Simba avoids the bathroom at all costs. She has had some kerfuffles in there! (((with me! i started it.)))

Lastly is a pic is King Baby Dog.
He is huge!!!!!









Happy Holidays to all & leave us a note if you are on Goodreads.

~ Hey, tell us where you like to drink your water!?!

xxoo

That Dog is still here ... Blackie

`

Hi it's me Blackie ...

I have been protesting this dog's arrival via my non-use of the litter box for #2.
Yup, I have.

And Mom has given up & decided that I must be loved with the dog.
Yipppee!

So last night she picked me up & hoisted my furry self over the babygate.
She made me a bed on the counter where I could really get a good view of that dog.

I really enjoyed the view, napping in the sink, drinking from the sink & watching that dog.

Funny ... I give him my fierce growl/hiss & he sits!!

WHAAAAAAAT!?!?!?!?!

I can control that dog. Who knew.

Daisy Jiji does it all the time & now walks right by him when he is sleepy & that dog just lays there.
She greets him every morning after his quick run outside.
He always looks for her & is sad if she is not waiting for him.
LOL!!





BTW, Mom gets no sleep in our house anymore!
She is sleepy a lot.

Today that dog has gone to the groomer for social action.
Mom left him with Minnie a little cute pooch .... 10 months old vs King's 3 months ... She was wearing him out.
That makes Mom happy to see King happy!!
: )

Good times,
Blackie
=^,,^=
/

PS. King weighs 21 pounds & has had all his puppy shots.

He has walked with Alice at the Rose Jugglers.

And he has many new dog friends that he has met at Starbucks!

Thank the heavens for Starbucks Mom says - That & men who love to wrestle with King!

Woof!

A DOG! ~ Tannie Man byline

Hello from Tannie Man aka Sweet T!

This is mom balancing a doggie bagel on her boots.
She has boots now because somedoggie nips at her ankles.

She used the bagel to 'divert' him.

Mom's Canine Behavior Consultant is training Mom to train the doggie.

He will be big & will need to be a "Good Boy" says Mom.

=((Really Mom is being trained, to help the doggie.))=

See, she is already doing tricks!!

This is me Tannie Man.
I once ruled the backyard.



This is the pea gravel garden Mom & I built Sunday morning.
I snoopurrvised.

Mom is growing Patchouli in that green pot.

She says it smells like a candle.



This is a puppy in our meadow.
With his ball.
At 6:15 am in the MORNING!



This is that same puppy after a game of Mom-is-trying-to-water-the-garden.
Trying, she says.
Puppy will grow like weeds, I guess.



This is that same wet puppy.
At 6:25 am in the MORNING!



This is him at 7:15 am.
Still in the MORNING.
His name is KingBaby.



Our Mom is tired.
Too much MORNING.

Oh & guess what, Sunday MORNING at 6:15 am she took me out.
I sniffed everywhere King had been & looked for mousies.
Mom enjoyed a nice cup of hot tea.
She says I am the best outdoor independent Boy!

Purrzzzzzz,

Sneaky Snake song & a Puppy road trip with Rose Jugglers

~

Big news Furries!!!

Miss LizzyBean & I are gonna trek out to the country to meet this guy:

He is part: Mastiff/Boxer/Australian Shepherd aka Furry Horse!

Lucky for me Miss LizzyBean, owner of a horse/dog Sammie & cutie Alice will be meeting the pup with me.

See the pup with his pink tub ... He gives kitty rides in it. His human Mom says one of the young kitties in the house wrestles with him & then gets a ride in the tub. This is what endeared me to this guy.




Love that little kitty paw - MEOW!

Wish us luck!!
We will be singing the Sneaky Snake song in the car on the way there ...

The Woofie Poll, Friends & 7 Things ....

~

Long, long, long ... Weekend!

First, everyone pls vote on the Woofie Poll above.
See Tommy's comment in the Poll. So sweet!

Next, our friend Brynn makes friends with Blackie.
Previously Blackie would always hiss at Brynn.
Brynn had lots of smells on her feet. Woofie smellzzz.
But, you bring Blacke treats & you are friends for life.
See the photo below ... Click on it for a better view!

Status on the Woofie search: CRAZY! The story from our Mom:
Currently I have filled out 4 different Dog Rescue applications.
Mostly for Golden Retrievers. 'GR'
My goal is to find a good natured dog that will fit in well with all the kitties.
Based upon my research, I am convinced a puppy/young dog will be best for all.
There are many puppies that show up in care of the Rescue Groups.

The crazy part:
Friday I contacted one Group with a cute GR puppy.
The dog was unavailable because Friday it was transported to Colorado. WHAT?
They load up Texas dogs & 6 times a year transport them all to a PetsMart in Colorado hoping they will be adopted.
The puppy I liked was adopted by someone in Colorado today.
Sheesh.

Now, 7 things about me, Mom, via an Awardy from:
Katz and other Tales

1. I am looking at the Honda Element with the "Doggie Package"
2. I jumped in the Rose Jugglers pool with my dress on yesterday. Heehee!
3. This morning I cried at the end of a great book: The Dog House, by Carol Prisant
4. Tannie Man sleeps under my arm every night in bed
5. I feel bad that Blackie must have insulin shots 2x a day
6. I am so proud that my Milkweed has survived the Texas heat
7. I am lucky to have good friends like Lizzie Bean, Brynn Bean & all their critters!

Hugs every furry!!

Mom has Woofie-Itis & is "Mad-Ish"

~

Major news ... Our Mom has officially lost her mind!

She has.
It is true.

Just look at this pic below ... She thinks this is herself.
Just where are the cats, we ask! ???

AND, she brought a WOOFIE in our house.
YES SHE DID!

The Woofie is gone now.
Mom says the Woofie was not right for our family
(Note to Mom - Uh, no Woofie, Thx!)

----- The Story -----

Mom has always wanted a Woofie.
She grew up with Boston Terriers "BT".

Based upon the BT's visit last night, Mom is going for a Golden Retriever.
~ Long story ...
Mom found one & hopes to meet it tomorrow.
She is a pretty rescue girl of 3 months old.
Combo of Lab & Golden, reported to be shy.
Yeah right!

Anywhoo, Mom has been inspired by these good dogs! They live with cats & are good friends with the cats:
Tommy & Bibi-Chan
-and-
Alice & Sammy

BTW, the BT that came to visit us last night was very interesting.
I sat on the other side of the inside dining room glass french doors & hissed at the BT.
I got very fluffy & just hissed a lot like a snake.
I also did not move from the glass!

I was transfixed.

Blackie joined me.
He let me do all the hissing.
The BT barked at us.

Mom says the BT was deaf & could not hear us.
Whatever!

Needless to say Blackie & I were very curious.
Mom says, clueless!

The other kitties in the house were under Mom's bed with the door shut.
Chickens!

Although Daisy Jiji puffed up like a blowfish before Mom whiskered her away. Hee hee!
