Sunday Stuff

Kinda a lazy Sunday. We heard from mama's friend who had a stroke. Her voice sounds better, and she has a hand that still doesn't work, and she is in a nursing home recouperating. Thanks for your purrayers and thoughts!
We found a cute blog about a famous cat, and are waiting to hear back from them to see if we can link to the site and their store. We have to be polite, ya know.
We hope they let us.

Explaination

Some of you have asked who Maggie is. She is my "friend of another species". Recognize the couch? That's ours! Maggie comes over with her mommy Robin (that's the bean in the picture). She has a kitty sister, so she is very well trained and very nice to kitties. She plays nice with my toys, cause she learned how to share toys with her kitty sister. Her mommy works as a volunteer with a rescue schnauzer organization, and Maggie does doggie trials where she jumps over and through things.
Mama and I think she is too cute for words.

Wordless Wednesday--Maggie

After the 4th

I hope efurryone was safe yesterday. Our day started out with the fire alarm going off (and some pretty mad residents, even though mama and I had been up and awake for quite a while). Of course it was nothing, but it was kinda irritating. I don't mind the alarm in this building. It is loud but not too bad on my ears. The last partment's alarm was so shrill I couldn't stand it, and hid in the back of the closet behind the laundry basket! But I suppose some people wanted to sleep in a bit. Anyway, like I said, it was nothing. I don't even hide when it goes off.
Then last night we had fireworks across the street and all over. We have a panoramic view of the east part of the Twin Cities, and mama said it was really pretty. I happen to NOT like fireworks. Even if they are far off and not noisy. I hid under the bed. I got Dentabites after.
Mama has cardio rehab tomorrow and a pointment, so I'm thinking of asking Mr. Hendrix, my Sugar Pie, if I can come keep him company.

my mama is very proud of the 4th of July. She said that she is 2nd generation American on both sides of her family, and is very happy that her relatives came here. We wish for more tolerance for immigrants here, because, as my mama says, lots of beans come from families that were immigrants, and need reminding.

Didja see Goma on Cats 101 today? Didja? Didja? If not, why not???

hello from the heat

The last few days it has been very hot here. If we were in the old partment we would be really suffering. But here we have a nice air cooler thingy, and it is comfy. I keep trying to tell mama not to leave here, but it doesn't always work.
If you are in a hot place, please remind your pets to give you lots of water and shade, and a fan, if not an air cooler thingy.
And remind them to drink lots of water, too.
Gotta take care of your beans.

Saturday Stuff

Nice day today. For being inside. For having the air cooly thing on. For dentabites. For scritchies. This is definitely living.
On the other paw, we gotted bad news that a bean friend of mama is in the bean hospital after having a stroke. But she is doing okay, and it is the same hospital that mama wented for her heart attack, so we know they will take good care of her.
On Friday when mama was leaving her cardio rehab she ran into one of the nurses who had helped her when mama was in the hospital, and he remembered her. Actually some of the nurses in the rehab unit also work "on the floor", so she is in constant contact with some of her caregivers. She thinks it's kinda nice.
Hope box day was fun for you.

Wednesday Woes

We don't usually pick political topics here (unless it's something like prevent child abuse, or animal abuse, or hunger, or cancer, or stuff like that which we think is just common sense and unfortunately things that need talking about), but our governor is cutting the state's budget here. He doesn't want to raise taxes on the rich (they are the ones who he needs to help him run for the presidency the next term) who can afford it. He's decided to cut the budgets for child protection, fire and police services, general assistance, medical assistance for the poor (it's gone entirely by next year, so no medical help for poor families and the elderly at all), hospitals and libraries. Next year we have a new baseball park in our city. Does this make sense??? This governor let the time run out for balancing the budget in congress so he could make his own budget. This is, we thought, a democracy. Since when does the governor get to decide stuff like this without representation of the people? He can do this! Isn't that scary?
We'll get off the soap box now.
Mama will be gone this afternoon to her cardio rehab stuff. It is going to be something like 86 degrees or something today. But rain is in the forecast.
Nappies today.
