My babies

This is the closest they have ever been to one another without attacking...

Jacob and his "fort"

I don't have a green thumb at all. I don't mind to garden but I'm not good at it at all. I always joke that I can't even keep a fake plant alive. Here's why...



This is Jacob and his "fort". He insists on knocking the plant over and then lying under it.



I think he uses it to camouflage himself so that the dog doesn't go after him :D

bye for now

Oh how I love my pets - they bring so much happiness!

We are packing up and heading to the shore for a much needed mini-vacation. Someone doesn't want us to leave or wants to come with...hehe. The best part is being able to spend it with my best friends Ryan & Mindy! It'll be nice to show them all the places we like to visit and where I spent my summers as a kid.

Ahhh...relaxation and fun in only...28 hours!

Furry Friday

This is how I found my cat the other day...



He is always getting into something!

In other non-furry related news; if you haven't checked Gavin's site in a while you may want to now. Thanks to the Make-A-Wish Foundation he is at Disney chumming it with Mickey and the crew! Take a look by clicking here!

Have a wonderful long weekend everyone!

Furry Friday

Happy Furry Friday! I hope you have a wonderful day and enjoy the coming weekend!

Furry Friday

I'm thinking about starting a new theme for Friday - Furry Friday! I have so many cute photos and videos that I can share with you.

Here is the first one - it was a video that I received through email - I can't get the flippin' pritner to work!

Enjoy!

Our New Girls

Meet our new girls! We have adopted two young adult girls from a very nice family who had to give them up due to allergies in their little one. Right now the cats are still very scared because of the move, however they are very lovable and are coming around more and more each day.

Our boy cat Jacob is unsure of them - he is trying to make sure that HE is still the ruler of the house by begging for attention whenever we are around. Our hopes are that in a few weeks him and the girls will be playmates.

Our puppy Kodi - well, he just wants to play!

Here are some photos I took of them...



Isis - 3 years old {an ancient Egyptian Goddess of motherhood and fertility}

She is very much lovable, wanting to be pet but not held. She will rub up against your hand and purr but will not come any closer. She has moved up from under the basement steps to underneath our bed where she is staying put! She is really bonding with hubs, I can tell this is going to be his little girl.



Cleopatra - 2 years old {an Egyptian Pharaoh & Goddess of wisdom. Her patron goddess was Isis.}

Cleo for short - this little girl is the most timid, docile cat. I just love her. She is so tiny, you can just pick her up and put her on your lap where she will stay until you move her. She is not bothered by Kodi or Jacob. I think she is a Siamese and tabby mix, possibly the runt. She has a black tail, ears and nose and blue eyes of a Siamese however her body color, size and longer coat look tabby. She has also made her way from the basement to underneath our bed.

Both girls are using the litter box as well.

Hubs and I are so happy to have these two wonderful additions in our house and in time I think they will be happy too...

Dear Zoe

Last night we had to put our dear Zoe down to sleep. There was nothing we could do to help him, he was in so much pain. I felt so bad for him, my heart just aches. I miss him so much, he was part of our family. It seems so surreal today - did that really happen?

I have never seen my husband so torn and upset, Zoe was his baby for sure. Here is a little story about Zoe and how he became apart of us.

Zoe - I love you little guy and we miss you already! Jacob is searching all over the house for you, I can tell he is sad too. I'm so sorry we couldn't help you - you were only 3! I pray that you are resting peacefully now. Dr Shwab was so kind and did everything he could, he gave us your paw prints set in clay and we will cherish it and every memory of you always. I'm so so so sorry Zoe. WE LOVE YOU!

A Little Animal Lovin

If you read my blog often enough, you know that Hubs an I just adore and love all animals. We have two cats {Zoe and Jacob}, a puppy {Kodi} and a fish {Pedro}. Here is a short video that I shot that shows a little bit of their personalities...

*I hope that you could see the video alright, it shows up fine on my computer but after uploading it blogger seems to have made it much darker than it is.

Let me tell you the story of our first child *er*cat* Zoe...

September 11th 2005 I came home to my apartment that I shared with my bf. I walked in the door and saw bf with a gleaming smile on his face. All of the sudden I see this cute little fur ball come hopping out from behind the couch. I dropped my bags and ran over to see this soft little kitten barely old enough to leave its mother. I look up at bf to see him still gleaming and sweating a bit. After a few more seconds I realize that there is a ribbon tied around the kittens neck with an engagement ring around it. And that is how bf proposed and became hubs.

I know its a sweet story. And you might gather from that story that the kitten (whom hubs had already named Zoe) would be my cat. You would think that the kitten and I would share a special bond and be best friends. Well let me tell you...it is not so...Zoe is not fond of me at all. He is hubs cat through and through. If I pet him he gets up and moves. If I look at him, he looks the other way. And you can see what filming him does...

Although I must admit he is quite the character and so gosh darn adorable...

You're so Vain

My cat Jacob is very intelligent. He knows how to open my dresser drawers and get what he wants out. He can us his claws to open my jewelry box to get his favorite necklace of mine. He can even open bi-fold doors. Every day this cat does something new to amaze me. Tonight as I was getting ready for bed I realized that Jacob is a little vain. He was sitting and staring at himself in the bathroom mirror. And he is smart enough to know it is a reflection because he poses his head at different angles. Most cats freak out when they see a mirror because they think its another cat. This is not the first time we have caught him doing this...
