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.

Tuesday Stuff

Well, a nice quiet day today. It is a little rainy right now, and we had lots of cuddle time today. I heard the noisy beans this morning, but mama said they were not coming here. So I relaxed. I trust mama.
The next thing they will do is the radiator covers. Mama said we might leave for that one. Then the closets remodels. Then the kitchen remodel. Whew. I hope it's all over soon!
If you look, you will see a new thingy on our sidebar. It is from ChildAbuse USA. Little human beans as well as us animals should be abuse free and safe.
If you see abuse, bean or animal, please please report it.

50 Years of Hope and Healing
In 2009, Childhelp commemorates 50 years of bringing the light of hope and healing into the lives of countless children. CEO and Co-Founder Sara O’Meara and President and Co-Founder Yvonne Fedderson started Childhelp in 1959, establishing it as a leading national non-profit organization dedicated to helping victims of child abuse and neglect and at-risk children. This year, Childhelp will build on 50 years of fighting back against child abuse and neglect and will be embarking on a cross country public awareness campaign. Though Childhelp has accomplished much and made an impact in the lives of millions of children, much more needs to be done. --from the Childhelp USA website

We Survived

They came. They were cat lovers. They were still loud. Mama took me downstairs to get her Schwan's order after they had been working for a while (one of them kept telling us when it was going to get loud so that mama could cover my ears--told you they were cat lovers), and only one elevator out of three was working (in a 25 floor building). So not only did it stop on almost every floor on the way down, we had a lonnngg wait to get back upstairs. Mama was supposed to have me in a carrier (house rules), but she didn't, she had me wear my halter and leash and she carried me anyway. So we got very hot together.
But by the time we got back upstairs the nice beans were actually sweeping up and done with the work.
So I got to get down and I wented under the sink in the bathroom. Oh, and one of the nice (but loud) beans said I deserved treats. So I camed out from under the sink and mama gaved me dentabites.
Kinda sweet.

Oh, no!

Mama says they are coming tomorrow to install the sprinklers! If it will be like Friday across the hall, it will be LOUD! If I am really spooked (they are going to be all over the partment) she will take me upstairs to a special lounge.
If they don't come first thing, mama won't be able to go to rehab, cause she promised to stay with me.
We will let you know what happens.
Meanwhile, all the stuff in the tops of the closets had to be taken out. So it is all over the partment. That's because they will put some of the piping in the closets. So it looks weird around here.
It reached 84 degrees today and mama put the air blowy thingy on!
That's about it for Sunday.

Sunday Again!

Mama had a busy week last week. Going to her rehab thing, a ppointment with a bean vet, and her sisters camed to visit. So we have not been checking in or blogging. I even camed out to see her sisters. They sound a bit like mama. One of them has a woofie named Molly. A dachshund. And they are nice, like mama.
Hope to catch up on efurryone this week.
I almost forgot. I did get a message from royalty last week. Her name is Leia. Mama was really impressed with her blog, soo we are linking to her blog and her delightful maid, Lady Katharine's blog.

Monday, Monday

Mama wented to the rehab place today and she is a little sore, but she said it was kinda fun. I spent most of the time snoozing on my little heart pillow (a pressie from Mr. Hendrix) and when she camed home, she sat down beside me and kept me company. And, oh yes, gaved me Dentabites.
Tomorrow she has stuff to do, and her walk to the library. My Sugar Pie has asked to come over tomorrow, and mama has said yes. He gets a little lonely sometimes, and we certainly can't have that!
love
