Hello again my dogster buddies

Yesterday I took both my peeps for a walk. We went along the path where no one has been for a while, so the snow was deep. It was great fun although the peeps were slow, I don't know why, after all they only have 2 legs and the snow only came just over their knees. I on the other have 4 legs to control and bounced along, I told them bounce its more fun, but no slog, slog, slog through the wet snow. I had to keep stopping for them and I would sink I looked like a periscope just my head and tail (of course) sticking up over the top of the snow........Great fun!
Well Murph and Ash turned back and waited on the porch I don't blame them really, if we lost Ash in that we would have to wait till the thaw........although thinking about it we would probably hear him. And Murph would know Dad would probably not carry him while Mum was there, so they went back.
It was a fun bounce for me and I got to run in the slushy bits and bounce in the deep bits, I got to dig down to find the sounds under the snow that was great, I love to dig found nothing just tunnels.
Well when I looked around I saw it happen, Mum fell her leg caught in the snow she wobbled like a lightly hit skittle and down face first, it was such fun. I bounced to assist her and licked her ears, I am sure it helped as she got us quickly and we carried on. A while later they were talking she said something to Dad and he pushed her a little and ......yes down she went again, backwards this time, she falls very gracefully (she had lots of practice) so once more I ran to save her this time I jumped on her belly and laid on her so I could lick her face. I know she appreciated that a lot as she was laughing and trying to move but she was pretty well imbedded in the snow by now........ I guess that's what they mean by "captive audience"
She did say though there was no way she was going to the top of the hill, so once Dad and I had tracked some strange foot prints we came home and had treats.
What a great day.......
Oh for those following Murph's antics I watched him today walking across the snow in all areas no problem he walked and was looking around, I bet if the Peeps had been there he would have been shaking his feet and making noises. I tell that cat should get an Oscar........or would it be an Oscat.
Take care everyone catch you soon.

Tuesday 5th March

Hello there
Today I made a discovery, it has left me with a big question, but I will ask that after I explain. You know how it is you know your way around by the smells, in the kitchen for example there is the meat smell where dad dropped the bit of Turkey on the floor, (I like that one) there is the smell where Murph walked in after being in the litter box (I don't like that one) there is the smell when Ash cat rolled in the cat nip and ran round the kitchen like a 6lb animated cat toy for Murph, (I am not sure about that) and the smell from when Mum was using the mixer and some mix shot over the top on the floor (Hmmmmm thats a good one)
Well the point of this is for some time now I have been thinking that I need to go to the Dr. you see I walk along with these familiar smells and all is good. I go outside to play and when I come in...........BANG! my nose is broken. They are all gone, no matter how much I sniff and snort..nothing even Murph's feet, all gone. I have been getting a little worried about this until today, and I would never have thought it but its Mum. No seriously it's MUM! I am not sure if we should do anything about it yet, but when I am out she gets a bucket and puts "stuff" in it wet smell killing "stuff" and then she rubs it all over the floor. All my great smells gone in the wipe if a wet stick....GONE.
Now I don't know why she is doing this, is it because I have been naughty, or is it because Murph is naughty, it would not be Ash. Why is she doing it? that is my question
I guess I will just have to start again, there are a couple of good points though
1) I know I don't have a broken nose.
2) I can always rely on Murph to add his own smells anytime now.
Oh oh whats he doing now...........must dash!
Speak soon

Its March 4th

Hey there
Yesterday my Dad took us all for a walk (Mum works weekends) It had been snowing again of course. But Ash 2.5 years old cat all of 6Lb in a heavy rain, Murphy 18lb 2 Year old Coon Cat, Dad and I went for a walk, the cats like to come along with us. I think it is more they don't like to miss something than they like to walk in the snow. Well off we all went up the paths near us.
Ash called to every living creature in the 200 acre area, Dad asked him if he wanted to take out a TV advert so everyone knew we were around, he kept shaking his paws like he was making up some young persons dance, why he did not just run and bounce I don't know. Murph was doing okay to start with, he loves to walk with the peeps but he is not liking the snow at all, then he began mewing (between us he has a very tiny voice for a very big cat) he would stop call and shake his feet. Dad in the end carried him for a while and he rode in Dads arms while Dad tried to hold his feet to warm them, he had a smile that told Ash you need to learn to act my friend. I of course was very dignified I ran and bounced and rolled and jumped and chased leaves and ran and bounced. I dug in the snow and ran bounced and rolled, hey there were some great smells out there so I rolled in every one so I could bring it home with me and check it out later. Ohhhhhh they should bottle some of this for humans.
After a while Dad put Murph down and we started back, Ash still telling everyone we are there, me still being dignified, Murph still doing his cat dance. In the end he got a bit fed up and ran up Dads leg, so guess who got carried home.
When Dad told mum that night she looked at him, sighed, rolled her eyes and shook her head, Ash flicked his tail, I licked Ashes ears and Murph smiled!
I love my life!

Saturday- Reflecting

Well I have been very good. My appetite is poor but it will get better, today is my last day of tablets, although I don't know when I have them, but I like my little treats in the morning. My mum is learning my ways now so that's good, I will have her trained soon. Some weeks ago she slipped up a bit, she took me for our walk, it is up the path near here, its about 2 miles if we get to the top. This day we went up and down, (it was before I took poorly and before the snow) I went in the water, and up the banks.  We came home and   Mum threw the ball and she fetched it many times.  Between us I don't know why she does this but it keeps her busy. Anyway in the end she decided we should go in.  I was busy running around with the plant pot on my head, and was getting sleepy.  So in we came, once inside I recalled that I needed to go toilet, so I went on the new carpet.  Well she did not appreciate my thoughtfulness, and I had to go back outside, for a short time while she cleaned it up.  Well that was not fair of her was it, it would have been rude to have gone outside while we were playing together, and as I had done everything why did I need to go outside again.
I will keep working on training her, but still don't understand about this ball thing.

Itssss Friday

Hi everyone.
I feel better today, I have not eaten all my food but I have eaten some of it and it stayed down. So mum is pleased.
The snow outside is harder now and Murph and Ash can walk across the top of it, so they are happier. Well till they get to the bits I have dug up and they go down a hole. But they just give me the "Stare" and shake their paws and move on. Today I knew Murph was in a good mood as he kept saying "yesssssss" I think that's what he said anyway, I was so excited to have all of us out I may have miss heard him. To show my pleasure I patted him on the head, and he combed my fur with his claws, it was fun he even let me follow him around the garden, just stopping to say "yessssssssss" and comb my fur again. He jumped over the wall then so I could not follow him, maybe he will let me play with him again tomorrow.
I do love my life.
Take care everyone.

Hello my friends
I am somewhat late today as I was poorly this morning. I did not feel well to start the day. Mum gave me my two treats (I am thinking she is slipping something in them) I did not eat my Breakfast just a tiny nibble and then well to be honest I did not mind if Murphy or Ash ate it all up. I went to lay down for a while and be quiet. Then I was sick and had to have a little sleep for a couple of hours. When I woke up I felt much better again, and went to find my favorite toys. I was playing well when mum said come on lets go and play in the snow. So we went for a bounce in the snow, can't call it a walk as my peeps spend much time falling over and I have to leap as the snow comes up over my shoulders. Its great I can stick my head right down in the snow and look about its "cool" in every sense of the word...........I can't see anything but its the experience that counts. I love my life!!
Thank you all for your support and I hope tomorrow to be fully better again.

Wednesday 27

I Love my brother Murphy so much. No really I do.
You see I have these tablets I have to take with my food, but when I take them I don't want to eat. Anyway my Peeps got me some pigs ears, for in the evening as a treat for when they are watching the land where flat people live, I think its call TV, anyway when they watch I like to add music with my noisiest toys.
So Dad got me Pigs ears, last night I had one. Delicious I don't know why peeps don't eat them but I am glad they don't.
Well when the Peeps went to bed our Murph "one of the coolest of cats, he could be a dog" went on the "Murph get off counter" he likes to do this when they cant see, he sits on it and lays and rolls about. Well he found the bag of ears and carefully not touching it with his paws so he left no prints he chewed his way in to the bag, pulled out an ear he chewed a bit but the pulled a face and dropped it for ME! Whooo yes he loves me really, I took the ear to my blanket and ate it up so he would not get into trouble, you see I was hiding the evidence. Trouble is Dad came down and saw me, to late though there was not much left and Murph was back up stairs and laying on the bed so they can't prove it was him, and now I have eaten the ear they can't prove it was me either. Of course being seen is a clue but we will get round that. Also the bag having so many teeth marks in could be a problem. Nah they will never notice and I won't tell anyone ever.

Tuesday 26

Yesterday I was not feeling so good, today I feel great.
I was having a little sleep yesterday from about 10am-1pm and I remembered how I had saved my new mums life when I was younger so I thought as I had spent the day relaxing I would tell you about this.
I had not long been with my new peeps and mum took me for a walk up the mountain path .....
It was a nice day very warm and bright, the leaves were falling off the trees and I was looking forward to playing the game with the "stink horns" Now I am not sure she sees it like this but I can tell you what happened. We were walking the path, and I saw the biggest foot print EVER! I don't know what it was but the owner needed a bath, I could get my whole foot in the pad. Mum said it was the Black bear that lives in the area, I looked up and I saw it. It was on the side of the road, so I sat down and barked to tell it not to mess with my Peeps or me. Well new mum laughed and tried to get me to come, but NO WAY, I don't know why she could not see it,there it was black and very still waiting for us so it could pounce. I just would not move I would have done the right thing had it come and let mum have the glory of fighting it, after all Ladies first. (yes I know I am female but I was a Pup) she decided not to fight it,or me and we came home early that day. I heard her telling dad how I had saved her. The Black bear must be called "old Black tree stump" as thats what she was telling dad. Strange name but hey, she is lucky to have me.
Of course if we see the bear again with my blue penguin scarf on I won't tell mum in case she takes the scarf back and makes me wear it.

Monday 25th

Hi everyone.
Thank you all so very much for the messages and prayer, candles and gifts.
They are really helping me along, I am not eating today just don't want to I am a bit weary, but I have been out in the snow a lot, and worn myself out. We have had more snow, I like the snow but when there is snow thee is no mud.......I LOVE MUD, its all just so "glupy" and its good for my complexion, mum said that's great but its not that good for the wooden floor or the carpet. They should get rid of both and have "MUD" yeah then everyone is a winner.
The other thing about snow is it gets rid of the Stink-horn mushrooms, Oh I have real fun with these.Yeah just fancy that Mushrooms and they smell.........No they really smell, worse than anything Murphy could turn out. But what I know about them is, when mum and dad are not looking I can pick them by the base and they hang out my mouth. I then run past Mum and Dad, well they smell me before they see me. You should see their faces! Its great, they can not run as fast as I can, so I have to keep waiting for them to get almost close enough. Its great fun, I think they like it although they tell me not to do it. I would never eat them so don't worry. But the point is they are gone now the snow is here, I wonder what will be here when the snow is gone for me to bring about that look?

Friday

I am feeling G O O D !
Mum and Dad took me walkies on my lead now I am much better, we go over 3 miles and there are some fantastic smells out there, although I don't like the cars much, but I am not as afraid as I used to be Mum taught me to sit when I get frightened right in the side off the road, and that makes me feel better.
Right well if you have been reading this, you know what Murph has been up to. He is now in a sulk, he is pretending to be asleep when anyone comes to him but he keeps forgetting to close his eyes. He makes me laugh. Ash our older but littler brother told him to get over it, and he picked up the baton of confusing the humans. What he did was waited till mum was in the kitchen, he watched as she took out the saucepan and carried it to the counter, then he took his chance and darted in the back of the cupboard. Mum closed the door and started cooking, then in a very soft voice he cried, mum looked for him and thought he would come into the room, but of course he did not. He then did it again a bit louder and she started calling him, he did like Murph was doing and called and called and called, I did think "I could tell her where to look but whats the fun element in that" So I watched she looked all over opening doors looking out the window. In the end he gave a loud yell, and she opened the saucepan cupboard door. There he was sitting in the big saucepan smiling at her...........she did not smile back. She said something like "you absolute Murph" he came out and walked smartly past me, he makes me laugh too.
I have to go out and move some snow.
Catch you all later :-)
