We have a new friend!

Jodie is a young, sweet Asian woman that owns a house on our street. She comes down from Seattle every couple of weeks. She came over today with a bag of treats and invited Richard and I over to her house for a romp in her fenced-in back yard with her two rescue dogs. Real fun!

Stay sweet,

Sweetheart

Richard got a haircut!!

Following Uncle Joe's lead Richard got a buzz-cut today and Richard looks much less homeless. When Richard loses his scraggly beard he may even look respectable.

Joe Hryczszyn (can I buy a vowel?) paid a visit and Joe H. , Richard and I had a great afternoon. We got a bit worried about Uncle Joe, but he finally came home.

Dreary day, but we are alive,

Stay sweet,

Sweetheart

A very different Thanksgiving

Richard, Rosie, ( Rosie is a one of Uncle Joe's cats, not a hooker from the casino just up the street) and I spent most of the day in bed. We think Uncle Joe and Bill made it safe and sound to his daughter's place. Richard should have asked Uncle Joe to call us when he arrives there.

All is well here, but Richard needs a haircut. Maybe tomorrow?

Always stay sweet,

Sweetheart

Spaghetti

Richard, Joe, and Laverna are having a spaghetti dinner tonight. This is our real Thanksgiving, and we all have much to be thankful for.

Uncle Joe got a great buzz-cut today and the haircut is a fountain of youth. I think he had a good day.

Well, Richard has to get cooking and I get to be Richard's sous-chef de cuisine tonight.

Love to all. Have a sweet and safe holiday.

Sweetheart

Sorry about the last post.

I know the Richard quote was coarse ( crude or unrefined in taste, manners, or language), but that is what he said. I would not be a good reporter if I changed the quote in any way.

Richard tells me he has a special Thanksgiving planned for me and my kitty cousins. Think maybe ham and green bean casserole?

We are all doing quite well and we are looking forward to the holidays.

Love,

Sweetheart

New bunk-mate

Rosie, the Calico cat, is now a member of the dank, cold attic club of Falls of Clyde Loop. Last night at about 1 am I heard Richard scream "You God damn fucking cat!" Using her back claws, Rosie had launched herself off of Richard's left shoulder.

Then at 3:48 A.M I awoke Richard needing a poop and a pee...not Richard, me.

Richard is no Saint Francis of Assisi, , but he is okay.

Love,

Sweetheart

Another glorious day here in OS

Richard and I expected awful weather today but the weather was wonderful. Joe and his buddy Bill headed into Aberdeen . Richard and I just hung out.

Uncle Joe has hired Billy (not Bill Puckett) to clear out the house...Yeah!!!

Love,

Sweetheart

Lysol- a verb?

I think Lysol is a name of a product. But the other night some cat puked on Uncle Joe's white jacket. Richard said, "I'll Lysol it." Uncle Joe responded, "When you're done I will Lysol my bed."

Is Lysol a transitive verb?

Love,

Sweetheart

Early Thanksgiving

Richard and Uncle Joe celebrated Thanksgiving today. Richard microwaved 2 Banquet turkey dinners. As usual I didn't get a bite.

The weather is changing and today feels more like winter. My gosh, the incessant rain!

Uncle Joe continues to be great.

Gem, send me your dang picture.

Love,

Sweetheart

Great weather day today

I think Richard gave me some bad info the other day. The weather today was glorious! The next few days may be iffy, but today was great.

Uncle Joe is working one his 2 long days and we can't wait for him to get home. Tomorrow is a day off for Uncle Joe so Richard and I hope Joe kicks back. BTW, his TV is Working. PTL!

Richard tells me that he misses his wife dearly, but he knows it is God's plan he is out here. Both Richard and I are discussing a PLAN-B and will let you know what that might be..

Gem, my cousin, is responding to my blog, and I can't wait to meet him/her. Gem, please send me a photo of you to rryan52@gmail.com. I will post the pic on this blog.

Life is real good here.

Love,

Sweetheart

Last good weather for a few days

Wind and rain is predicted for the next couple of days. But we had 2 good walks today, Richard is working real hard to find a job.

Richard talked to Duane today and Duane is doing OK sans wife.

Love,

Sweetheart

Fire update

66% of this tinderbox is up to code. But you know you have a problem when your fire extinguishers catch on fire.

Great sun today, but a bit colder. Uncle Joe had a crap job-day yesterday, but today seemed to work out for him. PTL!

Love,

Sweetheart

TAZERS

Richard is on E-BAY right now trying to buy something called a Tazer. Richard says this device will keep Uncle Joe quiet for at least an hour. Richard tells me he just wants Uncle Joe to scream "Don't Taze me bro", but I think Richard will Taze Uncle Joe just for the fun of it.

Life is good. My leg is much better, and AA was real fun (not really).

Love,

Sweetheart

Can you find me in this picture?

Love,

Sweetheart

Went to the vet today

Richard tried to walk me this morning and I did pretty good. However, he noticed my back right leg was still giving me trouble. Went to the vet (I love Doc Stiles!!!) and she told Richard that I probably hurt my knee jumping into bed or maybe by chasing a deer. But I gather I'm going to live.

Joe is great. The house is flame-free, and we are doing just fine, thank you.

Love,

Sweetheart

More rain!

So my paw felt a little better this morning. Walked down the street, but no beach. Met up with Sammy and she is doing fine.

Went to Walmart and rode the cart. I got many pets and smiles. Richard and Joe are very good to me.

We bought 2 fire extinguishers, so we will sleep calm tonight.

Love,

Sweetheart

Bad paw day and a fire

Woke up this morning with my right rear paw a bit sore. Went to the beach and walked using three paws. Richard called the vet today and if I'm not better tomorrow we will take a ride to Olympia.

Uncle Joe had an electrical fire in his house this afternoon. Joe, Richard, Laverna and I spent the good part of the afternoon on Joe's front porch. Fire Department, cops, and an ambulance showed up, but we are all quire safe.

What a day!

Love,

Sweetheart

So what's up with WA weather?

Another crap weather day. Richard and I went to the beach late this afternoon. Windy and wild. But thank God I did not fall into the ocean.

I love my life and I love my Uncle Joe. Richard is somewhat OK, but still an a-hole.

Love,

Sweetheart

Rain, rain, and more rain

Another crappy weather day and so no beach. But Richard and I took a car ride and that was pretty sweet. I think Richard and I are starting to annoy Joe so Richard and I are discussing a Plan-B. Don't get me wrong, Joe has been sweet and generous, but I think we've invaded his personal space. Joe works long hours and works very intensely so we (Richard and me) have to be a bit more "guest-like".

Let's hope for sun and a beach walk tomorrow!

Love,

Sweetheart

Rainy Wednesday

Rainy day so no beach. Went to AA today and sat in Bill's lap. They call me the "therapy dog". After AA Richard, Joe, and I went to Aberdeen. Got some new worm meds, but I doubt Richard can force them down me. And I don't think I have any worms. Richard should take me to a vet, but he has no job. After that we went to Walmart (surprise!) and then Safeway. Even without the beach it was a pretty fun day

It is Joe's birthday today and he got calls from his kids. Richard and Joe are having pot roast tonight, but not me.

Love,

Sweetheart

Short update

Yesterday, Sunday, the rain stopped and the sun broke out. Richard and I went to the beach and had a great walk.

Richard and Joe had a cookout , but as usual I got nothing.

Today was dreary and rainy, but we took a ride and had some fun. Richard did some chores for my Uncle Joe. Richard and I are so blessed that Uncle Joe invited us into his life and into his home.

Love,

Sweetheart

Another uneventful day

Got Richard up at 2:45 am for a poop and a pee (not him, me). Big mistake, but he was a gentleman. Went back to sleep but then ran downstairs at 5 something and tried to get the cats' food. Richard forgot to close our upstairs gate. He scooped me up, apologized to to Joe , and took me back upstairs. My feelings were hurt for a couple of hours, but Richard and I are friends again.

Met Duane this morning. He's a guy that lives a few door down from Joe. His wife left him today (go figure) and Richard invited him over for a cocktail.

Laverna cleaned and straightened today. Richard and I went to the beach. Joe had a hell of a long day. But at least my life is good, and that is all that counts.

Love,

Sweetheart
