Secret Paws Ready

Mom and I worked late last night and finally matched up 45 different kitties/woofies for the Secret Paws.  Everyone should have received an email by 10:30 pm.  If you didn't receive yours, please let us know.

Now, on to addressing my Christmas Cards to my furriends.  Please send your information to me at my email:  sweetpraline@sc.rr.com by this Friday, December 10, if you would like to exchange cards with me.  I'm very excited about my new cards.

No Christmas Tree

I'm dreaming of a Christmas Tree, just like the ones I used to know!  This is a picture from last Christmas.  Here it is, already December 5, and mom doesn't have our tree up yet.  I don't know what I'm going to do with her because if there isn't a tree, where will Santy Paws put my presents?

MOOOOOMMMMM!  Get a move on it!

SEC Championship Game

I know the photo hunt theme today was "hard-to-find", but our South Carolina Gamecocks are playing in the SEC championship game today and I have to celebrate my chickens beating all of those critters and mascots.  Of course, my mom is at the game, I'll just have to stay at home at watch it with my fuzzy friend.

Go Gamecocks!  Beat the Auburn Tigers!

Femme Friday

I can't help it, I just love my new snowflake collar.  What a lot of you don't realize is that this is the first time I have allowed my mom to put anything on my neck and get by with it.  When she put it on me, I knew I looked even more beautiful, so I didn't give her a hard time!

And from the back!

Don't forget to check the list of participants for the Secret Paws 2010 to make sure we have your name and information.  If you would like to participate, please email me your information by midnight EST, tonight (Friday), December 3, 2010.

Thankful Thursday

Mom went to buy me some more stinky goodness this week (I was down to 1/2 a can again!) and saw this beautiful snowflake color.  She said she debated for several minutes whether to buy it or not because it wasn't cheap, but she said, oh well, let's give it a try!  Would you believe I loved it?  Mom put it on my neck and I just pranced around the house!  Doesn't it look just beautiful on me?

Mom said she wasn't going to leave it on me all of the time because she didn't want to take the chance of me getting tangled in it when she wasn't around.  Aren't those snowflakes just lovely against my floof.  Mom says I never cease to surprise her!

Pee ess - Mom is going to list everyone's name on the Secret Paws website tomorrow (Friday).  Please check and make sure we haven't left anyone's name off.  If you haven't sent us your information yet, please email me by Friday, midnight!

Pee ess ess - If your name isn't listed, it must mean the internet ate your email, so please send us another one.  Mom is going to update the page tonight and throughout the day tomorrow (Friday).  We don't want to leave anyone out!

Wordless Wednesday

Tortie Tuesday - Baby Praline

For today's Tortie Tuesday, I thought I would take you back about 15 years and share pictures of Baby Praline as a tiny tortie!

Back to Work

I had mom with me for a long weekend, but she must go back to work today.  Soooooo, I think I'll just take over her section of the couch to sit on today.  Have a great Monday!

Easy Like Sunday

I'm pooped!  It's been a busy weekend between Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and my Gamecocks beating our state rival, the Clemson Tigers.  My mom also lost a family friend who just turned 80 and his funeral was yesterday.  Today, I'm going to rest!

At least I have lots of floof so my private parts are covered up!

Photo Hunt - Written

Today's Photo Hunt theme is "written."  I searched my brain to find something that would meet the theme today and came to the conclusion that a poem about cats would be appropriate for the theme today.

It's "written" that Cats are Wonderful Friends.

Cats are Wonderful Friends

Gentle eyes that see so much,
paws that have the quiet touch,
Purrs to signal "all is well"
and show more love than words could tell.
Graceful movements touched with pride,
a calming presence by our side --
A friendship that takes time to grow --
Small wonder why we love them so.

Femme Friday

Do you see how hard I have to work to get my Mom to give me some treats and stinky goodness?  I've been reduced to climbing up her leg and begging!!!   I can't believe I've been reduced to this!

Happy Thanksgiving

Today is Thanksgiving in the United States.  It is a day that we give thanks for all the blessings in our lives.  I've been sharing a few things that I am thankful for this week leading up to today.  I'm very thankful for my furriends on the CB and for my mom, who loves me very much.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thankfulness Week - Day 3

I'm thankful for delicious treats . . .

Stinky goodness . . .

And crunchies!



Thankfulness Week - Day 2

I'm thankful for belly rubs . . .

Chin Scritches . . .

And naps on mom's lap.

A Week of Thankfulness

On Thursday this week in the U.S., we will celebrate Thanksgiving.  I don't like to set aside just one day to be thankful for all of the wonderful furriends and things in my life, but I thought I would set aside this week to mention specifically some of the things I'm thankful for.

I'm thankful that I have a forever home that keeps me warm in the winter and cool in the summer!

Easy Like Sunday

I'm taking it easy today!  How about you?

 

Sad and Happy Saturday

I was going to write a happy post because my grandma bean came home last night.  I am very happy she is home and that she is doing well.  My mom even went to pick up my woofie cousin, Bandit from the pet motel.

 Mom and Bandit

I'm very sad to hear that my furriend, Inigo, will be going to the Bridge today (4:00 PM Australian time),  Inigo had heart problems, but he was doing better when he came home last week.  However, his liver began having problems and he's not doing well at all.  He is only 4 years old.  Please go and visit Rumblemum and Rumbledad and give them lots of headbutts and purrs.  Good-bye sweet Inigo.  You will be missed.

So, it's one of those kind of days when you're up and you're down.  I'm so happy that grandma bean and Bandit are home and I'm sad about Inigo running off to the Bridge.

 

Floofy Friday

Just taking a moment from playing with my new floofy toy to let you know that my grandma bean, Faye, is still in the hospital.  We're hopeful she'll be home today.  Please keep those purrs coming.

Also, mom has agreed to let us organize the Secret Paws this year. 

If you would like to participate in the Secret Paws, please email the following information to our email address (sweetpraline@sc.rr.com).  Please put SECRET PAWS 2010 in the Subject Line.

Anything else

Let's limit this to $20 because of the economy.

Please send your information to Sweet Praline by December 3, 2010.  Mom will help me sort everything out that weekend and we will email everyone their partner by December 6.  Let's keep the Secret Paws "secret" this year until you receive yours.  The Secret Paw that you send to may not be the one that sends to you.  Let's try to make sure everyone receives their Secret Paws package by December 20, 2010.  I'll see if I can get mom to set up a web page with this information.

Thankful Thursday

A very special thank you to all of my furriends and their beans who send purrs and purrayers for my grandma bean, Faye.  Her surgery was a success and the tumor appears to be benign.  She's still in the hospital, but should be home by tomorrow.

Purring for Grandma Bean

My grandma bean, Faye, is having surgery this morning to remove a rare tumor from her stomach.  My mom left at 5:00 am EST to travel 2 hours away to sit with my grandpa bean while Faye is in surgery.  Please purr really hard for her today.

 Grandma Bean, Faye and my woofie cousin, Bandit

Purring for you, Grandma Bean.  I hope you are home very soon.  Be careful on the road today, Mom.
