A Successful trip to Grandma's

Hi everyone. It's me, Anya! We had great fun at Grandma's house this weekend. There was snow! I love Snow! Here's a little video of me, loving snow!

Anyway. When we got home there was no snow here. Then I woke up and WOW! Snow. Isn't life grand. I also got to sleep on Grandma's couch and I had pancakes. That's right. Pancakes! Take that people.

To Grandmother's House we go!

Hello everyone! It's me, Anya. The kitties are all off in protest because we're off to Grandma's house. That means the visiting Po nurses will be here instead. That's right. We can't go anywhere unless the people have Kitty Sitters! I know it sounds silly but Princess Po needs her insulin twice a day so someone has to be here. Also, I believe that kitties, in general, are nuts and should not be left unsupervised! Anyway, I love to go to Grandma's house because I am the one and only Granddog! It's really my time to shine. As you can see, life at Grandma's is far superior to life at my house! Here's life at my house

And here's life at Grandma's!
Also, at Grandma's house I get to eat whatever I want to! My people always say "no, don't give her that" but Grandma doesn't have to listen because she's Grandma! Isn't that a sweet deal! Anyway, we'll be back here tomorrow. A big shout out to Maryanne (the night nurse) and Sally (the day nurse). I guess it really does take a village!

Aliens Among Us!

Hello my dear friends. I'm taking refuge from a possible alien abduction. You just never know when or where it can happen! By alien, I mean extraterrestrial not undocumented. It seems "actress" Fran Drescher claims she was abducted by aliens when she was in junior high school! There's the missing piece to that puzzle. I'm guessing her alien implant was placed in her sinus cavity. Drescher (in an apparent attempt to remain relevant) not only says she was abducted, she says her ex-husband was too (before they met). She can now join the likes of musician Sammy Hagar and former President Jimmy Carter. How's that for a dinner party? Whatever. I have no doubt there is life out there somewhere but this got me to thinking. If there are aliens out there, flying around and plucking up unsuspecting earthlings, what must they think of us? I mean, really. Think about the people you've seen who have claimed to be abducted, probed and released. Not exactly the cream of the earthly crop, if you know what I mean. Why are they always landing in swamps, corn fields and dirt roads? If they're smart enough to get here you would think they could read a map. The fact that they've been probing Bubba, Billy Bob and Fran has to lead them to believe they could take us with very little effort, so what are they waiting for? Or, is it possible that they are plucking up these people for their own entertainment? "Hey Xenoid, grab that one and put him in the maze"! "Jam that pen up his nose (or whatever) so he'll have something to tell his friends". They might be laughing their antennae off! If this is they case, I have a few suggestions for our extraterrestrial friends.
#1  Gary Bussey
#2  Kanye West
#3  Ron Paul
#4  Harold Camping (the end of the world guy)
#5  The entire cast of The Jersey Shore
Hours of entertainment. Just hours and hours...Just one thing aliens. You really need to keep what you take. No more returns! Thank you.

My Million Dollar Idea

Hello people. Yes, the sun does rise in my eyes. Let's move on! I, Consequella Coonatailia Beeochalotta, have come up with an idea that will change the world, for the better, and make life so much easier. I call it  the   "Goober Death Ray". A laser capable of immediately removing goobers, morons and idiots from this earthly plain! I know, right! If someone would please build this for me, I promise to keep it set on stun until someone actually stuns me with their stupidity. Case in point, the guy in Spafford who built a bomb to take out a beaver dam on his property but blew off his hand instead? (Am I the only one who pictured a gofer on a golf course dancing to Kenny Loggins' 'I'm Alright' when they heard that story?) Shockingly, police responding to that call found pot growing at his house. ZAP! A 24 year old Fulton man, in custody on a misdemeanor assault charge smashed a window with his head in the interview room (that's a felony). ZAP! A Massachusetts woman was arrested after she was seen purchasing $64 dollars worth of soda, with an electronic welfare benefits card (which she stole) and then feeding the soda cans into the can return machine (without emptying them) to get the cash. Sticky situation. ZAP! By the way, if her scheme had succeeded, she would have netted $10.18! She could have sold the 12 packs for a dollar a piece and made $18 but then she may not have gotten zapped (just arrested). Let's not forget the Wisconsin man who legally changed his name to Bezow Doo-Doo Zopittybop-Bop-Bop.  All I need to figure out now is where to "zap" them to. Obviously Washington is overrun. Albany doesn't have too many vacancies either. I'm thinking of one of those flat states in the middle that no one really cares about. Or maybe Denmark! I read a study that said Denmark was the happiest place in the world. I wonder how long they'd hold that title if we zapped a few million goobers their way!

Exhaustion, Seriously?

Hello my dear friends. Well, actress Demi Moore has been hospitalized for exhaustion. Yes, that celebrity catchall ailment that usually takes 6 to 8 weeks in rehab to recover from. That's one heck of a nap!
Wyclef Jean, Colin Farrell, Dave Chappelle, Tracy Morgan, Mariah Carey, Lindsey Lohan (she's been exhausted 5 times now), Selena Gomez, Ashlee Simpson, Susan Boyle, Amy Winehouse (exhaustion killed her),and  Heather Locklear are just a few celebrities recently treated for "exhaustion". Demi Moore, you may remember, had a little problem with exhaustion back in the 80's when she was running with the Brat Pack. Looking back on this link makes me believe that watching your career dry up must be exhausting! This is nothing new. Elizabeth Taylor, Liza Minelli and Michael Jackson were chronic exhaustion sufferers. Come on Hollywood! We know what you're up to. You're not fooling anyone. You may have heard that drugs kill. Along with Michael Jackson, Amy Winehouse, Heath Ledger and Anna Nicole Smith come to mind. Admit you have a problem, deal with it and move on. It's not like drug use is going to hurt your career. Charlie Sheen, Snoop Dog, Willie Nelson, Robert Downey Jr., Paul Reubens, Oliver Stone, Dionne Warwick, Whitney Houston, even Dawn Wells (Mary Ann from Gilligan's Island) have been busted, many repeatedly, for drugs and survived. Even prospered. So, step up Demi and tell the truth! You're an addict and, perhaps, being a Cougar isn't all it's cracked up to be. Take the standard 6 to 8 week nap and then call Dr. Drew. Maybe he can help revive your career.

Football is a game, right?

Hello people. Yes, my beauty is only exceeded by my humility. Let's move on. So the New York Giants and the NE Pats (Massholes) are going to the Superbowl. Whatever. The Giants beat the SF 49ers with the help of two miscues by the 49ers 23 year old wide receiver Kyle Williams. The big oopsy came in overtime when young Kyle fumbled a punt that was recovered by the Giants and led to the game winning field goal, sending the Giants to the Superbowl and the 49ers to the golf course. It is very upsetting for fans, who are so invested in their team, to watch their season end on such a sour note. Ask any Bills fan about Superbowl XXV. I point all of this out because we live in a different world today. After "the kick felt round western NY" or the "wide right game" when then Buffalo Bill Scotty Norwood missed a 47 yard field goal with :08 left and the Bills lost to the Giants 20-19, my captor and some friends went to a "we still love you Scotty" rally. Thousands of people were there. It wasn't Norwood's fault that the game came down to a long field goal attempt. Unlike forgiving Bills' fans, here are two examples of what was tweeted after the 49er's loss:
"I hope you, youre wife, kids and family die, you deserve it," 
"Jim Harbaugh, please give @KyleWilliams_10 the game ball. And make sure it explodes when he gets in his car." 
Those are actual tweets about a 23 year old guy who dropped a football! Yikes! Imagine how they would have reacted if the outcome of that game actually had any effect, whatsoever, on them personally. I have two points here people. #1 When all is said and done, football is just a game. #2 People in San Francisco are nuts!

Scam I Am!

Hello my dear friends. Well, here we go again. Another blatant price gouging scam being perpetrated against the American people! This time, CHICKEN WINGS! That's right. Chicken Wings. The price of chicken wings has just increased by 23%! Why? Football.  That's right. American will eat 1.25 Billion chicken wings over the Superbowl weekend. The price of chicken wings has risen 52% FIFTY TWO PERCENT! The price of whole chicken, and other parts beside the wings, has risen just 6.2% according to Bloomberg. This makes the wing the most expensive part of the chicken. That's funny because the captor talks of a time, when she was young, that the butcher would give the wings away because nobody would pay for them! Funny how things change. So my friends, skip the wings at this year's bowl parties. If you buy them anyway, just like coffee and chocolate, the prices will never come back down. So put your foot (or wing) down people! Don't left the food industry scam you out of your hard earned dollars. Just SAY NO to chicken wings! Thank You!

Leave Paula Deen Alone!

Hello my dear friends. Why all the hate being hurled at Paula Deen? The woman announces she has type II diabetes and people go nuts! Okay, so she waited until she had an endorsement deal before she made her announcement and she did get famous for cooking less than healthy food, but so what. She's an entertainer, not a dietician. She likes to make money. Who doesn't? I saw an actual debate, on a news program, about what Paula should do now. One "pundit" said she should change her show to making healthier meals. What? It's a TV cooking show. It's entertainment. It's not high school health class. Just because she cooks with butter doesn't mean you have to cook with butter. Geez people! Let's blame all of the world's health problems on a 30 minute cooking show on the food network! Listen people, I, PoKitty, Queen of all Kittydom, have diabetes and I'm not a fatty. I have never eaten butter, mayo, or vegetable oil. But I digress. My point is, what is this crazy trend these days that whenever anyone does/says/has something that people don't like they immediately want to them to lose their job? 'He said what?" He should lose his job! Alec Baldwin used his cell phone on an airplane. Pull his commercials off the air! Paula Deen has diabetes.She should NEVER be allowed to cook again! What is wrong with people. If you don't like the way she cooks, don't watch her show. No, instead, let's make her cook using only soy, celery, and gluten free products! That sounds like a winner to me!

Huh?

Hello my dear friends. Today I saw a bumper sticker that read "Made in America is Important", unfortunately for the profit who displayed it, it was on the back of a Hyundai.  Earlier this week Vice President Joe Biden proudly announced that the New York Giants were going to the Superbowl! He was soundly booed. Why? He was at a dinner in San Francisco at the time.  We all misspeak at one time or another (in the case of the VP it's more of the rule than the exception) but sometimes you just have to sit back and wonder what they were thinking.  It would be hard to forget then presidential hopeful Al Gore touting how he took the initiative to create the internet! Obviously, that's not what he meant, but it is what he said.  Here is a list of famous foot in mouth moments, as compiled by godlikeproductions.com
"Whenever I watch TV and see those poor starving kids all over the world, I can't help but cry. I mean I'd love to be skinny like that, but not with all those flies and death and stuff." --Mariah Carey

"Smoking kills. If you're killed, you've lost a very important part of your life," --Brooke Shields, during an interview to become Spokesperson for federal anti-smoking campaign.

"I've never had major knee surgery on any other part of my body," --Winston Bennett, University of Kentucky basketball forward.

"Outside of the killings, Washington has one of the lowest crime rates in the country," --Mayor Marion Barry, Washington, DC.

"I'm not going to have some reporters pawing through our papers. We are the president." --Hillary Clinton commenting on the release of subpoenaed documents.

"Half this game is ninety percent mental." --Philadelphia Phillies manager, Danny Ozark

"It isn't pollution that's harming the environment. It's the impurities in our air and water that are doing it." --Al Gore, Vice President

"I love California. I practically grew up in Phoenix." --Dan Quayle

"If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure." --Bill Clinton, President

"We are ready for an unforeseen event that may or may not occur." --Al Gore, VP

"Traditionally, most of Australia's imports come from overseas."--Keppel Enderbery

Occupy A JOB

Hello my dear friends. You may have heard that Syracuse police staged an overnight "raid" an dismantled Occupy Syracuse. The first, and most common reaction was "Who? They were still out there?" Yes they were. They were "occupying" a small downtown park. After 100 days, most people would call that "squatting" but that's another story. I can't really tell you what they were "protesting" because it appeared each of them had their own beef. One sign read "Legalize Freedom". Huh? Another said "Honk if you're pissed off". Okay. One thing they all seemed to agree upon was that none of them could find a job. I, for one, am shocked at that. Are you telling me that, in the land of the free and the home of the brave, that a guy living in a tent in a city park is considered unemployable! Outrageous! Anyway, they say this isn't over. One of the "occupiers" said their removal wasn't going to look good for Mayor Miner in her re-election bid. They say they will all work against her re-election. Well, I say at least they'll be working! Good for you Mayor Miner. Mission accomplished!

Anatomy of a Bad Day

Hello my dear friends. Sit back, relax, I have a little story to tell you...
Picture it, a brisk January day in Upstate New York (by brisk, I mean bone chilling). The captor had spent the night before having dinner with a friend. They dined at one of the captor's favorite little neighborhood places because, dinner aside, they make a mean black forest cake. After dinner the captor, being full from her meal but not wanting to miss out on the cake, ordered a piece to go. She returned home, had a tiny taste of the cake (incredible), then wrapped it up to save as a special treat the next day. Fast forward to later the next day. After a rather long and typically stressful day at work, the captor, knowing she would have to stop at the grocery store on the way home, jotted down a quick shopping list. Having a whole new set of bosses, which comes with a whole new set of rules, quirks and idiosyncrasies; along with a whole new set of a$$es to kiss, always left the captor exhausted at the end of the day. Tired but relieved to be leaving work, the captor bundled up and headed out to warm up the car. While waiting for the car to warm, the captor made a mental "to do" list of what was left before she could put a bow on this day. Suddenly, a smile came across her face. Her mind flashed on that little slice of black forest cake waiting here at the prison for her. Off to the grocery store, bring in the trash cans, clear the snow from the driveway.  "Just get it done" the captor said to herself, "you're not going to want to do it tomorrow either". Put the groceries away, take out something for dinner, throw a load of laundry in the wash. Done, done and done! The captor headed upstairs to change into her comfy clothes. This day was finally drawing to a close. She put on her slippers, set up a TV tray, got a glass of water, pulled out a plate and fork. Only then did she notice a note on the counter from the other captor. It read simply, "Wow, thanks for the cake, It was Delicious"!

Random Kitty Thoughts

Hello people. Yes, I am utterly flawless. Let's move on! Sometimes I get bored. I wonder what makes you humans tick. The other day, you may have heard, our dog got skunked. So the captors, of course, sprang into action to remove the skunk smell from the prison. To date, they have failed. How can we be sure? Because humans apparently ask other humans to their home to smell the place. That's right. They're calling it the "sniff test" and it happens every few days. Picture this phone call, if you will. "Hey, what's up. Listen, do you think you could swing by here after work tomorrow and give us a sniff"?  What kind of people do things like that? My people. They throw birthday parties for all of us and dozens of other people show up. They bring us presents! I always wonder if all people are like my people or if my people are, well, odd. I don't know. Last summer they heard the world was supposed to end. The Rapture, I believe. Anyway, they decided that would be a good time to have a barbecue. They actually discussed what the proper drink would be to serve at the end. Normal or odd, again, I don't know. They decorate squash. Seriously!
You can make this stuff up! I choose to believe that all people are like this. That way I can believe this is a house and not an insane asylum! Either way, there's never a dull moment.

Captive's Lament

Hello my dear friends. I've penned a little verse to my captors.
C is for the crap you always feed me
A is for your antagonistic ways
P is for the princess I was born to be
T is for the tedium of my days
O is for my overt plans to rule you
R is for the respect I'm surely do
S is for this systematic waste of time
There aren't enough letters in captors to make this silly verse rhyme!
I guess I need a nap!

Homemade Kitty Treats!

Hello my dear friends. I have to give the captors credit. They've made us homemade Kitty treats and they are delicious! They're called "Kitty Crackers" and the beautiful thing is they're easy, inexpensive and there are no fillers or preservatives! Who'd a thunk it! Here's the recipe:
6 ounces of undrained tuna
1 cup of cornmeal
1 cup of flour
1/3 cup of water
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all of the ingredients thoroughly in a bowl (the captor used her hands) then roll the dough out to a 1/4 inch thick and then cut into "treat size" pieces. Place on a greased cookie sheet and bake for about 20 minutes (or until golden brown). Let cool. Serve with a nice Merlot (okay, I'm kidding about the wine) but they're delicious! Here's what they look like

Okay, maybe not the greatest pictures but they do taste a lot better than they look. Give it a try and let me know what you think! Enjoy

I'm a Somebody Now!

Hello my dear friends. As you may know, I am an insulin diabetic. I know, right? I need two injections of insulin each day. I must also have my sugar level checked daily (they prick my ear!). I visit my personal physician quarterly. Why am I tell you this? Because corporate America is finally realizing that Kitties are people too! I'm not one to promote companies or products (without proper compensation of course) but this is pretty cool so, I'm making an exception. Being a diabetic is not cheap. Insulin, needles, testing strips, these things add up. So, the fine folks at Walgreen's have allowed me to join their prescription club! Seriously! Check it out.
How cool is that! Now the captors, who are constantly complaining about the cost of my health care (and theirs too) get a little break on each prescription. The let dogs join too! Way to go Walgreen's!

Skunkerdoodle-Day 2

Hello my dear friends! Well, it's day 2 of the captors verses the skunk and, although the captors are making headway, I believe the skunk is winning. The biggest obstacle for the captors is the inability to leave the windows open for any length of time. It's just too cold. Without fresh air, the stench rises and recontaminates everything that has been cleaned. It's an uphill battle to say the least! It's my understanding that Aunt Sally is scheduled to visit the prison this evening to administer an independent "sniff test". I fear we may fail. I'm not sure what Plan B is but we all keeping our paws crossed! On the bright side, this prison is cleaner than I've ever seen it! I'll keep you posted. By the way, note to self: Don't mess with Skunk!

Skunkerdoodle Returns!

Hello my dear friends. Well, the score in this prison stands at Skunk 2 Big Dumb Dog 0. That's right! Our lovable Hundred Pounds of Stupid, apparently not learning from her first encounter, has had another run in with a skunk. Boy, did she STINK! The captors have been cleaning like crazy but I, for one, can still smell it. I climb up here every time the Stink Bomb is in the room. Skunk is something that's hard to shake. It really makes you wonder what God was thinking with this whole skunk idea. Anyway, because of Skunkerdoodle, we've had to endure bitter cold (the captors had to open windows); the nauseating stench and a day without any pillows, blankets or throw rugs (all being cleaned). Thanks Skunkerdoodle! Your brilliance is becoming legendary!
In my defense, I thought it was a Kitty. I love Kitties. It wasn't. It was a mean old skunk! My bad. I would just like to remind everyone that I am the Victim here. I had to endure two baths, countless sprayings and endless brushing! I'm the VICTIM! A little sympathy would be nice. Thank You.

Sometimes You Just Need Your Captor

Hello my dear friends. Sometimes, I have found, that captors are not completely useless! What a revelation. Most of the time, in addition to providing the required food and water, captors make great pillows. Heated pillows. Sweet. Also, on days like today, they can provided much needed protection. Picture it: I'm napping on a lovely basket of warm laundry in the basement of our prison when, all of a sudden, I hear commotion. Dog barking, unfamiliar voices and general noise.  Like any respectable Kitty, I roll over and cover my ears. Hey, I was napping! Anyway, the next thing I know, two strange men carrying tools and stuff are right next to me! I'm trapped! Near paralyzed by fear! I look to the left, I look to the right, no escape! Not even time to stretch! Suddenly, out of no where, the captor appears! She scoops me up and carries me to safety. {Sigh} That was a close one! Who knows what could have happened. So, just for today, I have deemed my captor not completely useless. Mark this day. It's a rare one!

Hello People. Yes, I'm a champion. Let's move on. Po is taking a few days off. She is such a Diva! Anyway, a few things have been bugging me lately. First, I have nothing but respect for the Catholic faith, but I am really sick of Tim Tebow. Enough already! He really isn't a very good quarterback. He is, however, the luckiest man I have ever seen. clean living I guess. Second, what is up with these H & R Block commercials. Are there really people out there who missed EIGHT THOUSAND DOLLARS in deductions? How could someone that stupid be making so much money? Third, All of Taylor Swift's songs sound EXACTLY the same. Bad, and exactly the same. Why do they keep throwing awards at her? Fourth, is it really possible that 17% of registered republicans in New Hampshire aren't aware that Ron Paul is a WINGNUT? Finally, everyone is talking about the price of gas going up and no one is talking about the price CHOCOLATE! It's NUTS! Let's face it, if gas becomes unaffordable you can always walk or take the bus. But I for one can't live in a world without chocolate. What are we supposed to do when chocolate is out of reach?

Fur Banned!

Hello people. Yes, I am stunning. Let's move on. West Hollywood, California has become the first US city to ban the sale of clothing made of animal fur. Does anyone have a problem with this? Show of paws please. Why do you people want to wear fur anyway? Do you know difficult it is to keep my fur this beautiful and silky smooth? It's a lot of work people.  Wait until you try to like an entire coat clean! Yes, fur is warm and yes, it feels wonderful but it's not yours! How would you like it if we went around skinning our captors to make a cute little scarf? That's what I thought. I can fully understand why you would be willing to pay any price to look more like me. I'm breathtaking. But, wearing someone else's fur is not going to make you more attractive. It's going to make you look like a wannabe. You want to be a fox? Grow your own fur. You want to look like a leopard? Go live in sub-Saharan Africa. That's where leopards live. You'll fit right in. My point here people is, you don't need to wear actual animal fur to stay warm and look fashionable. There are synthetic alternatives. So, leave our beautiful, furry friends alone. You may continue to wear snake skin. Snakes freak me out. Good for you West Hollywood! I guess you're not all freaks and weirdos after all!

How well do you know your candidate?

Hello my dear friends. You know I don't like to get too involved in politics but....I read the most amusing poll results I just had to share! As you know, Mitt Romney, by all accounts, is the front runner for the Republican nomination for President. You may also recall that he was Governor of Massachusetts for several years before running for President in 2008. So, I had to chuckle when I read a 60 Minutes/Vanity Fair poll that show that 44% of the people polled did not know Romney's real first name. What's even funnier is that 7% of those polled thought his name, Mitt, was short for Mittens! Mittens! I'm still chuckling! I'm not saying that you have to exhaustively research every candidate running for office but, you'd think at some point you might want to know what their name is. 20% thought Mitt was his real name and 18% thought it was short for Mitchell. Turns out, and only 6% of those polled knew, his given name is Willard. Not that it matters but Rick Perry's given name is James. Anyway, what's in a name? Mittens. LOL

Boy, do we watch TV!

Hello my dear friends. I was just perusing a Neilsen report on trends in TV viewing in 2011 and, you know what, you humans watch WAY to much TV! No wonder you're all getting dumber! According to Neilsen, the average American watched 34 hours 39 minutes of television A MONTH last year! (link to full trend list below) Yikes! What were you thinking? And don't say "oh, that's not me". Because you know it is! And, it's not just that you were watching TV, it's WHAT you were watching! Entertainment Weekly says 8.6 Million people watched Jersey Shore each and every week. Good Grief. This means there are at least 8.6 Million people you need to keep away from your children. Good luck with that! In comparison, 7.9 Million people watch the evening news. That explains sooooo much to me! Last year there were 36 different shows dedicated solely to the baking of cakes. Yet, with all of that available, my captor still managed to produce this masterpiece!
I know, right? Unbelievable. People ate that, by the way. I'm just saying. Anyway, I digress. My point is, we need to turn off the tube (unless Giada de laurentiis is on, that's just food porn at it's best!). If you must have the TV on people, could we please go a little lighter on the "reality" programs? Americans have made Snooki, Kim Kardashian, Dr. Drew and various raucous "little people"  multi-millionaires just for being their drunken, classless, egomaniacal selves. This needs to stop. Toddlers in Tiaras. Seriously? Any Sport's Wives. Really? Celebrity Wife Swap. Come on! Any program that attempts to make Gary Busey relevant again should be banned in your home! So people, let's spare some brain cells in 2012 and Just Say No to Dancing with the (people who wish they were) Stars; America's Got to be on TV and Celebrity Anything!
