UNDER CONSTRUCTION!

Since it has been quite a long time since we have been active, we are going to be Under Construction for a while - trying new fonts, designs, and updating our sidebar stuff. Hopefully we will get it how we like it soon so it won't change too much!

Also - Can someone tell me how to get rid of the giant gap below this notice - I cannot figure out how to do it - thanks!!

Holy Cow are we back?!?

Hey everyone! I know it has been a VERY long time since I posted anything on here and a LOT has gone on. Work has actually gotten worse - I know hard to believe - and it just is stressing me out so much! For the most part the cats are doing great, but sadly Kirzon passed away last year at the ripe old age of 17.  I know he had a good life with us but I miss him lots all the time. Barney has gotten to be a bit of a bully with everyone, I think he wants to be the alpha cat.  Lola is still her normal, crazy old lady self.  Virgil is still the loner/rebel cat he was before - tell him not to knock something down and he will do it immediately.  Gus is still Mr. Responsible - I would trust him to be in charge any day.  Stella is a great girl - not the most snuggly but loves to be petted and get attention (as long as she doesn't have to sit on your lap), and Trixie, well, she has grown up to be a huge snugglebug.  She sleeps by me every night, and snuggles with her big brothers when she can (Gus and Barney are the snugglebugs of the house along with her). 
 
For me, I still have the same crappy job (as mentioned above) and I know I won't be able to visit everyone like I used to, which I think is part of how I got overwhelmed before.  But I do want to post sometimes - probably a lot less often, and just let you guys all know we are still here and still doing well. I haven't taken a ton of photos lately, but here is a super cute one of Barney all snuggled up in a blanket the other day that I think is pretty cute.  So, I guess we are back!
 
 
ETA: And I am sad to see that one of our friends from before had to be helped to the bridge - it is sad news to return to, but sadly that is how life is.  We are all very sad to hear that Derby had to leave, but we know he will see lots of friends up there.

Wow! You HAVE been away a long time, and no mistake! Since your last post, EVERYTHING has changed here. Both Pixie and Possum flew off to the Bridge (aged 16 and a half and 17 and a half respectively) and they sent, at intervals, Trixie, Caspurr and Shimshon (Shimshi) to comfort me.
And I myself have retired. Unlike you, I actually quite enjoyed my job but it's nice to have more time for myself and for my furbabies.
Hope you won't be letting so much time go by before your next post.
Welcome back, anyway!

How nice to see you again. We realize by the date of your last post that you may not know who we are. Our mom is Mom Paula and she used to have Sweet Praline. We're the new fur children in her house and are at a different blog. Just post when you want. Our mom finds it an escape from the stresses of her job.

So glad to see a post. We have been so worried about you since you just dropped away.

We're sorry about Kirzon. WE have lost many friends to the bridge these last three years.

We aren't able to get around to visit as much as we used to, but we do hope you will post occasionally. Thanks for the update.

So glad to see your post and update. All of us have to juggle time constraints, and hopefully most find this (blogging) fun. If it seems overwhelming then you're right it's time to step back and slow down. Continued good thoughts for you and all the kitties.

It's so nice to hear from you again, dear friends! We're sorry to hear about Kirzon going to the Bridge. Sammy flew there, too, last April. Maybe the two of them are hanging out together now.

Happy new year!

Angel, Kirby and Max said...

We have missed you.I tried to send you an email to check on you but must have had the wrong address. I am so sorry about Kirzon. I took in my Mom's cat after she passed and now Mac has gone, too. We have added Max ( I know, too confusing ) He is a yellow and white kitty. It took him many months to settle in but is now a part of the family.

We do not blog very often, either, and I do not visit as much as I use to, but i am trying to get back to that.

Good to hear from you. Keep in touch!

Are we ever happy you are back and okay! We were all worried. Hoping you and all the furries have a Happy New Year!
