Angie's vet visit

I had to have my teefs cleaned at da v.e.t. So first, Mom let me get used to da metal monster. Since I have such a bad time wif da evil v.e.t. box trying to claw my way out I got to help mom drive instead. There would have been a picture of me sittin' on da console fing in da middle, an checkin' owt da road conditions and telling her what lane to get in but Mom couldn't take a picshure of me and drive at da same time.
Then we got to da v.e.t and she LEFT me there! She told dem how I was such a sweet girl and wouldn't be a problem. Yeah right. Maybe if dey didn't pull my mouf apart. When Mom came to get me da v.e.t. lady said I wuz mad as heck (I wuz). I tried to put da bitey on dem. They tole Mom dat I would put da bitey on HER (NOT). So Mom brot me home in da evil box and my head wuz still goin' woooo wooooo wooooo from da stuff dey gave me. Den she LEFT ME AGAIN! Dis time da beans went owt and LEFT ME IN DA BOX for HOURS! So I showed dem what I could do.

No one wuz leaving me in an evil BOX! I tried to get owt one way but it wuz blocked. This is da view I had of my torture chamber.
Den I finally manajed to work my way owt of da ofur side. Since I couldn't get out of da room dey locked me in I gave a SOS signal by pushin' da shade up so someone would come an rescue me. I turned on da 'puter and den I went to Fat Eric's party. By da time da beans camed home da party wuz in full force and I was eating up a storm cuz dey also STARVED me all day at da evil v.e.t. Finally, me an Beau Beau am all back to normal. We am going to sleep for days.

Frightful Friday

Ut oh. Somecat is going to the v.e.t. an it's not me. I's furry worried tho. First, I am furry worried acoz it seems MY food dish is empty dis mornin'. Why do I need to suffer? Second, I am worried acoz Angie has to ride in da evil metal monster wifout me to cry wif sing to her. Dis all has somefin to do wif her teefies not gettin' brushed. QUICK bring me my toofbrush! I'll brush, I promise! Just don't take me to da V.E.T.!
~Beau Beau Shhhhhhh. Don't tell mom where I am. I'm hidin'. I don't want to go to da v.e.t.! Dey might take my teefies! Ohhhh. I's scared.

Thankful Thursday

Today I'm thankful for this absolutely beeeeuuuutteeeeful October sky! Isn't it purty? This was taken a few days ago actually. Today the sky is cloudy and a little rainy. We need the rain so we am thankful for that too but we know owr catifornia furriends needs it lots more. We put in a speshul prayer for it to rain wherever it needs it.

Purrs, Angie

Widebody Wednesday

The picture on the wall at the v.e.t. shows an overhead view like this to determine where yoo am too fat or too skinny. I finks dis is just about right with a little fat where there shouldn't be. Mom says I have love handles around my hips. There should be a waist line too. I see it don't you?Just acoz I'm hunkerin' down for some good stinky goodness duzn't mean I should be captured for a widebody photo. It's not true. See above. See what I mean?

Owie Pad

I gots an OWIE on my paw pad. I wuz chasin the red dot an skidded one too many times and den da skin came right off my paw pad. Ewwwwwwwww. See in da black part it's a little red. Da pad skin peeled right up. Gross! I didn't efun blink. I just wanted da red dot more! It duzn't look too bad in dis picture and it's already healin up but it really grossed owt da Mom. No more red dot chasin fur a while till my paw it all better. Who tole me at da party dey would teach me how to skid? I finks I need some lessons.

Somebody's been bad

Ut oh. Looks like Beau Beau has been at da insulation in da basement again. Wow. Dat's a big piece too. I fink's he might be in big trubble. He must be trying to tell da beans somefin but I don't know what it could be. Hope he duzn't get an owie from bitin' dat insulation too. Shhh. Don't tell da beans he did dat or he might get grounded and not be able to go to Derby's party today.

Fun Friday

Taking off on my furrend Derby's Fang Shui theme, this is my fang shui position of power , in the corner, with my back protected so I can focus all my energy on anyfing dat looks fun to do. Like maybe I can pounce on dat basket of toys I has. Or maybe da mom or dad bean will decide to turn on dat reely fast red light dat I can nefur seem to catch. Or maybe Angie will walk by an I can pounce on her. Dare am endless fings I can do from here.

See dem sofas behind me? Mom wants to get rid of dem. She wants somefin new and more cheerful. Dese sofas came before my time and dey are good for me to bounce on and no one can see my claw marks but da color is not a happy fang shui color she says. Da pattern looked much better in da store and when she got dem home dey looked all brown like dis. Hey, it looks kinda like da color of my baffroom in da basement stuff. Hee hee. Shhhh. Don't tell her dat. Dem sofas are comfy enuf for me. I won't let Angie on dem. Dey are mine, mine, mine! Wait a minute. Schmaybe I don't want some beans to take mine sofas. Hey Mooooommmmmm! Mom will be posting her own picture of mine sofas on somefin called Craig's list so some bean can buy dem. Sniff. Where will I sleep? Oh no.

Tummies and photos

We asked Adan what kind of camera dey has that Michico takes so many good pictures wif. They gave a nice explanation of their camera and how Michico has improved the pictures she takes of Adan. We thought we'd show owr camera too. We has da Kodak Easy Share DX7440. We also got our camera a couple of years ago. Geez, has it been dat long already?
Mom takes mostly pictures on Auto and dis is what she gets: Low lighting:
In the shade: Ouch! That's da Mom's foot!Here's an example of bad flash lighting. We am still werking on dat.
The camera Mom is going to buy is the Canon D400. She's just waiting for the $ to drop - down and in... hee hee.

Da picshure is of Grace Bay beach in Providenciales, Turks and Caicos which is at da bottom of da Bahamas chain (dey always has to say dat coz know one seems to know where it is but dey haf an idea where da bahamas are). It's a beeeuteeful place and da water reely looks dat color.

2.Open a graphics program (like Picture Manager, Paint, or Photoshop) and doing a Paste (CTRL + V). If you wish, you can “edit” the image before saving it. (If you have a Mac, it's different. You just open the Screenshot programme and click on photo and that's it!)

Wednesday's Wisdom

In order to make anyone else happy you have to make yourself happy first. Then the love can flow and the dark days go away. Just let it happen. The happier you are, the happier you can make those around you.

I wanted to go owtside, da beans let me go owtside. It made me furry happy. Den when I see dem I give them TONS of love and purrs and leg rubs and purrs and kisses. See how it werks?

Mancat Monday

Da college girl came home fur da weekend. I let her put da stranglehold on me jus fur a little bit. I like my scritches and kisses but I am a mancat yoo know. Middle of da nite works better for me when I'm takin' a break from guardin' da howse from evil introoders and keepin' an eye on da yard and all kinds of furry creatures dat walk in da night. ~Beau Beau
