Thankful Thursday

I am very thankful this Thursday because I've

gotten a lot of cool stuff going on as part of the

Blogville Olympics there has already been a lot

of fun events.  And in a few of the ones I've been

in have already awarded all of us great athletes the gold

including the gymnastics event  

at Madi  and couch potato peeling with Lily Belle

In addition I have two awards to share one from Spitty

and the other I hope Madi's Mom does not mind picking

up this award as we were looking at the blog and saw this

offered for Moms who felt like her sister, which my Mom

feels very much purrs.

For these awards there is suppose to be seven

unusual things about me and interesting stuff about Mom

I will list four and let Mom list the other three

Willow: I told this before but it is really weird that my

fur turns various different colors sometimes more orange

and sometimes more black

Mom: Mom has flat feet with no real arch which is weird

for a human

Willow: While I am very flexible I have trouble with

jumping up and have to use several props to jump up to the cabinets

Mom: Mom never owned a car as uses public transportation

which is much cheaper to get around than driving

Willow: I sometimes listen to when Mom calls my name and come

to her so embarrassing

Mom: Mom never had a cavity paws crossed as she tries

to have good tooth maintenance

Willow:  I do not always meow at 0 ten O'Clock in the morning

as I let Mom sleep in

I am also thankful that I am one of the

16 finalist in synchronized snoozing that

is being hosted by The Island Cats.  I would

like to ask for some help with voting as I know

I would not win against Eric and Flynn, but I

would like to make a better showing than I am at

2% of the vote with 4 votes.  So I would be

very thankful for this support

Thankful Tortie Tuesday

Hi it is me Willow I convinced Mom to write a blog post

as she got done with all her work earlier than expected.

I am grateful that you understood why I needed

to limit the amount of blogging that I am doing now as

Mom has a case of the busies and can not spend as much

time helping me with the obligations in blogging.

I should have know that  my furiends would be supportive

of this change in schedule.  We were just grumpy pants

because of the amount of stuff she was dealing with as well as the rudeness

of bus people.  This was the second time that a stranger made a

comment about Mom's peeling face and these individuals did it in such

an icky manner it made Mom sad because it is not like

she does not know this and it is a scary thing what the diagnosis.

We know that with this new schedule of reading three to five

books a week and writing papers that there will not be as much

visiting, but we know that you will be there when I do have the chance

to blog.  I am a thankful tortie girl to have such good blogging furiends.

Thankful Thursday

I am thankful that Mom got potentially good news

after all the medical news.  She got a call from one

of the librarian jobs for an interview.  While it is only
a part-time job it will let her gain some contacts if she

gets it as well as opportunities to other jobs when the

economy is better and there is more places hiring.

It is also fun to be thinking about if she needs to change her

course schedule so she could work and take classes.

I am thankful to be planning for a happy thing as

things have been so down with everything.  It is only an

interview on Friday and there might be other candidates,

 but it is a tiny bit of brightness that makes me purr. 

Thankful Thursday

We are thankful for all of the warm words of support

from our furiends as she goes through this process.  She was

worried when the process involved surgery

as the probable diagnosis could be bad depending on the

results of the biospy. The surgeon is going to remove the node on

right leg to do testing to see the cause of the swelling

through he said that it is a short with minimum recovery time.

YAWN it is tiring when it is the humans that have to

go to the V-E-T since this means nurse duties for the humans.

This is hard as they do not listen and do what is best for

themselves even when we try to make them as it serves their

best interest.  I am thankful she is a decent patient and does

not meow too much.

Treat Thursday

My Mom gave me a special treat for being such a

good girl in letting her tend to my Ouchie.  She was proud

of me and pleased that it is beginning to heal.  I got a Grandma

Lucy freeze dry treat.  This treat is meticulously prepared since I

like my treat presented in tiny flakes to be better able to eat.

She uses the container to mash a piece of freeze dry

treat in a paper towel.  After crushing it for about 30 seconds

she checks to see the consistency of the flakes. 

When the flakes are a size that I approve of I will

then be presented with the treat on the carpet. I love

this treat. A short film was made of me enjoying the treats

  If the sound is turned up my purring

might be heard as I lick up the flakes. 

Thankful Thursday

I am very thankful that my Mom does not move me

when I have gotten comfortable on her bed.  She lets

me stay even when there is no more room for her on the

bed until I get tired and move to give room for her to

get onto the bed with me.

When I am on the bed she also makes sure not to move

because I tend to leave the room.  Movement makes

the napping hard so I trained my Mom to be still when

I rest on top of her.
