Did Someone Air Condition the Back Yard?

That's NOT a weed.....

Mom let us help exercise her knee in the back yard.  She pulled some weeds and watered some plants. 

I sat on Mom's lap to make her rest a bit.

I made sure she didn't fall and hurt herself.

Millie didn't wear sunscreen.  Oops.

Millie just went sun bathing.  Some help she was.

Bye,

Sir Sam, the most grandest and noblest and bestest cat

Oh No! Sam ate a moth!

This afternoon, Sam played with a moth by the front door and then ate it!  Mom says it's too bad cause it gives him a tummy ache and then Mom has to clean it up.  Guess she'd better go fill up the salt holder!

I'm helping her knee get better!

Sam has been hogging Mom since she came home with her new knee.  But I sneak in every now and again and sit with her in her chair.  She sometimes sits with me when I eat.  

He even watches her work!

She fell off the couch last weekend.  She sits on the edge and dropped something that Sam would eat and then get sick.  So she reached for it and slid off.  But our cousin was getting married that night so she couldn't call her brother to come help cause he was with his son Craig trying to keep cousin Craig calm before the wedding.  Cousin Craig was afraid things would go wrong and it would go by so fast that he would forget his wedding.  Mom said he and Ashley were really cute.  Oh, back to the story, she did get up off the floor but it took her a while.

Hope everyone has a create weekend!

We're still here......Mom turned her computer off!

Well, at first we thought Mom was really really mad at Sam but she turned off her computer cause she went and got a new knee. 

That's a b.i.g scar!

While she was gone, a new friend named Nanny D came to visit us, play, feed and give Sam his shots.  She was nice to us and we like her a lot.  After mom came home, Nanny D still came to see us until mom got back on her feet.  She's wobbly on her feet and we try not to snicker too much. 

Uncle Alan and Aunt Marijan take the time to play with us.

Our uncle Alan and Marijan came to see us everyday once mom came home.  They brought medicine and groceries and helped mom with her ice machine.  It's c.o.l.d.  Uncle Alan likes to play with us too.  He likes the santa on a stick so we play with him.  Aunt Marijan pets us and talks to us. 

See?  Aunt Marijan loves me best!

Mom is getting better.  But she is cranky at night time.  There's this huge old noisy ugly knee machine that moves her knee all night long.  She can't sleep on her side and so she can't pet me correctly (oops, I nipped at her once or twice cause I was asleep and forgot she wasn't at her best - but she was trying.... sorry Mom). 

Watch out!  Uncle Alan and Mom are teasing each other again!  Take COVER NOW!!!!

Millie, the good cat....

Spring is Springing

Mom let us escape again to the back yard.  It was nice out there until a certain male member of the family started chasing me and biting me and pulled out some hair.  Boy was Mom mad.  I went back in the house and stayed and told Mom to shut the back door and not let Sam in the house.

And she did too.

Her friend came by and they were trying to build something to help give some more shade in the backyard.  They couldn't finish 'cause Mom forgot to chop down one of the trees.   She says the neighbors trees are growing so much that it doesn't get sun anymore so it's ok to chop it down.  She's going to grandmom's house today to get her favorite tool.  The chain saw.   I stay inside when she plays with that toy.  And so does Sam. 

Mom says I'll like the new thing a whole bunch.... well, I'm sure I would if that Sam would behave!

See you soon,

Millie, the Queen of this house  (lol Mom says they call her the Queen of the Universe at work).  We're good....very good!

Sam.... Trouble..... AGAIN

Mom let us escape to the back yard last week and Sam remembered he could poop outside and not have to go back inside.  Personally, I prefer the litter box - it's so much more civilized.

So Mom let us escape again this morning so she could do a little cleanup (she can't do much cause she has a funny ouch on her face - she says her name is FrankenMom for now? - she stayed home with us for a few days too!).  

Oh, back to the story, Sam didn't tell her he could open the gate and he didn't ask permission to escape from the backyard and hid under the truck.  Then he ran all the way to the front yard twice.  The 2nd time Mom says the dogs next door scared him but Sam's version is that HE scared the dogs....sure he did LOL.  

It was sprinkling so he was safe under the truck.  He finally came back in cause Mom was about to call her brother to come help. 

Thanks to Sam, we may n.e.v.e.r get to escape out to the backyard again.

Mille, the wonderful furbaby that minds Mom all the time.

Texas Independence Day!

Mom says it is Texas Independence Holiday today.  

March 2

Sam and I are Native Texans just like our mom!

We have to go celebrate now - we smell treats!

Millie

(...the good one)

Springtime is lost?

Uncle Craig is helping Jackson play the iPad piano

Mom says spring is hiding and just might be lost.  We think having Jackson here is making her downright silly.  All she does is talk about Jackson.   and how cute Jackson is, and what a good baby he is, and how Jackson is cute even when he is cranky. 

Grandma! You aren't moving me fast enough!

oh my.  I think maybe she's drinking soda again.  No more sugar for her.

Jackson has 2 Grandpa Alan's.  This is Mom's brother. He feeds us sometimes when she is gone or sick.

Jackson goes home next Saturday so maybe she will remember we are here all the time and we are only kidding when we say she never feeds us... um  no Sam, I'm not telling them she never feeds us because she feeds us twice a day.  You just like to eat, sleep and poop.  Ha Ha Ha that makes you like Jackson!  Baby Jackson and Baby Sam.  

Millie

Pssst - he IS kinda cute.....

Mom is sick

Mom is sick.  She says we can't play on the computer so we are saying 'HELLO - HAVE A GREAT SUNDAY'.

She read us a funny story about a knee replacement.  We don't need knees.  We like our knees.  She said we will have a cat nanny come by for about 3 days this summer.  We are GROWN - we don't need no stinking nanny.

oh wait.  we need our food.  grumble grumble

talk more later 
Millie and Same

the VET

See?  I'm ready to go the vet tomorrow!  Millie just tells stories on me.

Oh yeah.  Right.  It's tomorrow Sam!  Mom will be chasing you all over the house in the morning. 

Note from Mom:  oops!  the iPhone camera lens must need to be cleaned..... 

Update:   Sam broke a zipper on his carrier and mom had to hold him to get him in the car.... and then the rascal escaped.  It was cold outside and mom spent 10 minutes trying to catch Sam.  Bad Sam.  Don't you agree?   Me? you ask about me?  I stayed in my carrier and behaved most of the time - well, I growled at the vet when I got my rabies shot.  

Happy New Year!

 Millie says "Happy New Year to everyone .... even Sam"

 Sam says " Hey, I'm trying to nap here...."

 Millie says " well,  time for my after breakfast nap"

Hey!   YOU gave it to ME!!!

and a Happy New Year from me too!

(just ignore what Queen Millie says about me)
