I have a new kitty sister! I am so excited! She is really interesting, too, not like my previous kitty siblings. For one thing, she is very young - younger than me - and so she's not sleeping or being sick all the time. She just fascinates me. I know I invade her space too much - she has let me know very well when I've crossed the line - but I just can't seem to help myself. I want to sniff her all over and giver her kisses. I just can't seem to be still when I see her. She's SO pretty, too.

She and Molly get along pretty good - Molly likes her, but is not obsessed with her like I am. There, I admit it. I am obsessed!

Maybe after she's been around a while, I will calm down, but right now she is more fascinating than all my squeaky toys and tennis balls combined.

Thanks For The Wishes

I just want to say thank you to Dogster and to all my pup pals who have wished me a happy birth/gotcha day. Mom will be giving me my present this evening - I know it will be something great, it always is!

I hope you all have a great day, as well.


Love and wags,

My Kitty Sisters

Mom had to send the last member of our feline family to the Rainbow Bridge a few weeks ago. She was pretty upset. Lynx had a mass in her stomach, which the vet said was probably cancer.

So now, it's just me and Molly.

Mom has had to send all 3 of my Kitty sisters to the Rainbow Bridge in the last 6 months. She is so upset about all of it, she took down their Catster profiles because it depressed her too much to know they are no longer with us and there will be no more stories to tell about them.

They will always be in our hearts, though. Always loved and never forgotten.

Since grandma is moving in with us, mom is not going to have any more kitties for a while, which makes her sad because she loves them so much. She says when the Lord decides the time is right for her to have another kitty, He will get them together - just like He did with us.

Big changes are coming!

I don't know if I mentioned it, or not, but my grandma is coming to live with us this summer. Mom and dad have really been working hard to clean out closets and cabinets to make room for grandma's stuff. It sure must be a lot because mom is getting rid of a lot.

It sure will be different having grandma live with us. Personally, I'm looking forward to it. It will be nice to have some company during the day. I know I have Molly, but we don't have the same interests and we mostly just sleep a lot on our bed. However, this summer we will probably be outside a lot - barking at the birds and such. But if grandma's there, maybe we won't be outside all day long! That would be really cool.

Mom and dad try to make sure we're comfortable, no matter whether we're outside or inside, but it all gets real old after a while.

I bet Lynx will be glad too, because grandma really likes her a lot and will be giving her a lot of attention, too.

For now, though, mom and dad are really working hard to get everything ready. I know they - especially mom - are kind of tired right now. Hopefully they can get this all done soon and then rest up so they can play with me more.

Down to Two

Mom is kind of sad today. Waldo is no longer part of our family. Mom was fostering him until he could be adopted, but me and Waldo just didn't get along. Also, my human grandma is going to be moving in with us and it was all too much stress for mom - getting ready for grandma and taking care of a sick pup. She feels really bad about it, but knows he is in good hands with the Humane Society of West Texas.

Although I'm glad that it's just me and Molly again, it kind of feels weird without him around. Even though we didn't get along, I hope he gets well and finds his forever family real soon.

Daily Dairy Pick

Thank you Dogster for picking my diary for Daily Diary! I am so honored, if I could blush I would be all pink.

Acceptance

I'm still getting used to the idea, but I'm not as against having a new brother as I was yesterday. We actually all slept together last night in our little corner.

Mom and dad took him to the Humane Society clinic last night. Turns out he's a pretty sick pup. He has heart worms and erlichia. He also has a bad tooth that needs to be pulled. Mom's going to take him to our vet on Saturday. If anyone can make him all better, they can. They are the best.

Waldo

OMD!!! Mom and dad adopted another dog! I now have a new brother and I'm not very happy about it. I was supposed to be the only boy dog. What in the world were they thinking? Molly and I were just now getting to understand one another, now there's another sibling that I have to train. I know I will adjust to this newest member of the family, but right now I just don't like it.

Fish

Mom and dad got a new aquarium! Mom had a pond for a long time in the front yard, but she was tired of maintaining it, especially in the winter. Mom hates cold weather. Besides, there were a bunch of school kids that were always messing with it when they got off the bus in the afternoon.

The aquarium is kind of cool. It's real relaxing watching the fish swim and hearing the soft hum of the pumps. Mom had to get 2 because she has gold fish and they are really messy. I also like the way the fish food smells. I wish mom would let me have a taste, but she won't.

Pretty soon it will be time to decorate the house for Christmas. I like that, too. Lots and lots of goodies to eat!

Thanksgiving 2012!

So far, Molly and I have had a great day. Mom spiced up our regular dog food with some bacon, sausage and a raw egg. Later they will go to my human sister's house for turkey and all the fixin's. I sure hope mom brings back left overs.
