Brrrrrreaking Alaska News

Hello my dear friends. I was just reading about the nasty storm that whipped through Alaska yesterday! They're calling it a "Snowicane" because of the 65 + MPH winds and blinding snow.  Yikes! And I though lake effect sucked!  Because of the storm and subsequent storm surge the People of Nome had to evacuate and head for higher ground.  I've spoken to some of them and they assure me that they are fine and are just waiting for the go-ahead to head back home...

Good to hear. Good luck to all of you Gnomes (even the one with his drawers down)!

We're Organized and We're Not Leaving

Hello my dear friends.  Get ready. We're calling it "Occupy Bedroom" and we're in it for the long haul! Although it has been unseasonably warm during the daylight hours, it's cold in here at night! Really Cold! Well, we're tired of it. So, we've taken over the captor's bedroom and we're not leaving. We've come prepared too.

We've got our tent and a laptop to keep the media updated on our anger, our social disconnect and our continually changing message. We've even got the Big, Dumb Dog on our side, sort of...

God, sh'e such a Goober!  Anyway, you've been warned captors! We're cold as heck and we're not going to take it anymore! Turn up the heat or we will!

All the Signs are There

Hello my dear friends.  Halloween was just over a week ago. Thanksgiving is a little over two weeks away. Why then, we must ask ourselves, are there Christmas decorations everywhere? There's Christmas music on the radio (one sad and very desperate little station), the department stores are wall to wall Christmas! Don't get me wrong, nobody loves Christmas more than I! *Just a note for those of you who are new to my blog. We celebrate Christmas. We wish people a Merry Christmas. We don't do "Happy Holidays" here. We have nothing but respect for other religions, beliefs and celebrations but we don't observe them. We observe Christmas here. Nativity scene and all! With that said, it's a little early for the festivities to begin. If we keep moving the beginning of the season earlier and earlier we're going to have to put our pumpkins in evergreen trees!  Can we please get through Thanksgiving before we start decorating for Christmas? While I'm at it, when we decorate for Christmas, more is not necessarily better. When airplanes have to detour around your house for safety reasons, you've probably over done it.  I'm just saying! The Griswold's were a fictitious family. There is no reward for emulating them. So, let's tone it down a bit folks. Also (and finally) if your neighbor pulls their Prius into the driveway of a home lined with 50 thousand lights and a dozen 8 foot inflatables, please do not hesitate to point out the hypocrisy of it all!  Thank You!

Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Dog

Hello my dear friends. I don't know about you but I find it very difficult living with a dog!  Our dog is big and goofy and, quite frankly, I think she smells funny. Unfortunately I don't get a say on the number or species of inmates at this prison. There is an upside though.  Dogs are warm. HPS (hundred pounds of stupid) can throw heat with the best of them.  This is why, sometimes, we have to turn to the dog when the captors refuse to turn up the heat! I know what you're thinking 'dog and cats living together'.  I believe Dr. Peter Venkman listed that as one of the signs of the apocalypse! (congrats to you if you got the Ghostbusters reference). Anyway, a cat's got to do what a cat's got to do.

Ahhhhhh. Dog heat! You really can't beat it.  Okay, one more just for fun

Go Bills!

It's a Catnip Kinda Day!

There is nothing better than fresh catnip after a long day. The captors have access to the BEST catnip! It comes from a strange land called ""Grandpa's House". I don't know where that is but the captors go there ofter. Sometimes, when they return, they bring a box full of beautiful, wonderful, fresh catnip.  We call it "G-Nip" (for Grandpa's nip) and it is awesome! We all love it...as you can see!

We take turns in our box of nip heaven until we're all sufficiently buzzed.  There is one drawback to that though...This is your mind...

This is your mind on nip.....

Total mind freak right? This is why you have to pace yourself!  I'm always telling the girls that nip must be used in moderation but, when it's just sitting there, calling your name....anyway, I need a nap.  Yes, a couple of Friskies crunchies and a nap! Later.

Heeeeeeere's Anya!

Hello my friends!  You've met all of the feline captives in this prison. Now, I feel obligated to introduce you to our lone canine inmate, Anya Fanya Poopalotta! We call her Hundred Pounds of Stupid, but you can call her Anya.

Hi! I'm Anya, the enforcer, and it's my job to protect this house!  I don't really care for that job since loud noises, the dark, strangers, shadows, birds, bugs, squirrels, Consequella and various other things scare the tar out of me! I'm still brave though. Mama calls me the bravest dog behind two panes of glass! Whatever that means.  Anyway, I love Kitties!  Especially MY Kitties! They're the best buddies any dog could have.  I love to eat their food, before and after they've eaten it! They let me chase them around the house.  I haven't actually caught one of them yet but I do hope to one day. I also love to play! "rock" is my favorite game.  That's when I find a rock in the yard, throw it, find it and throw it again.  What fun! I also love cookies, sleeping on beds, going for rides in the car (especially to Grandma and Grandpa's house), digging holes, unstuffing stuffed animals (brain first, always brain first) and used tissues. Just can't get enough of those used tissues. Yum! So that's pretty much me in a nut shell! I couldn't find a baby picture of me so Sway said I should show you a picture from when she I and first met...

She's always been so pushy!

Consequella, Come On Down

Hello Again.  Today I would like you to meet my baby sister Consequella Coonataila Beochalotta or Sway. She's a whole world of crazy, that one! I believe it has something to do with her kittyhood. You see, she was uhm, a less than attractive baby...

Yikes! I know, right? What a mess.  Fortunately, she's aging well.

What are you looking at? Are you mesmerized by my beauty? Of course you are. Who wouldn't be. If you keep looking at me, I'll cut you! It's how I roll. I was given claws for a reason. You annoy me, I'll cut you. Touch my belly, cut. You feel me? I'm in charge around here. I like cat nip and cutting people. I don't like loud noise, stupid people or being kissed on. NEVER kiss on me. I will really cut you then. Keep your people germs to yourself. I like climbing up really high and then jumping off. I believe I can fly. Favorite song, write it down! I was born on December 24th, so I like the big party everyone throws every year to celebrate the gift this world received.  I especially like the trees you all put up and decorate, and the presents. I like the presents a lot! I appreciate your efforts. I really do. There's less chance you'll be cut around my birthday unless you do something really stupid, like kiss on me. NEVER kiss on me. I may have mentioned that before but it bears repeating. It the coming days and weeks I will tell you all what it is that you're doing wrong, how to do it right, and how to get through this life without getting cut.  If you listen, we'll get along fine.  If you don't...

Sway
