Finally Friday

It's been a long week. But seems kinda short because Daddy only worked 3 days this week. I am happy it is Friday because I can relax and get lots of scritchins over the weekend.
Grandma had surgery on Monday and is doing well. She came home Wednesday afternoon and has been lounging on the couch ever since. She has to be out of school, she's a teacher, for a whole month. Oh and while they were at the hospital Great-Grandma was feeling very bad. She has lots of problems with her older age and they said she was sitting in a wheel chair so she didnt have to walk around and all a sudden her head just fell over and she was non-responsive for a bit. She woke up or whatever it was and said she wanted to take a pain pill. So, they found an empty bed and had her lie down for a bit. Things are going down not slowly, but not fast too, for great-grandma and everyone knows it. When Landon was born in '06 the Step-Great-Grandpa
(her Husband) was a few floors up in a hospital room too. He never got to see Landon. It was sad.
Ok, I have had enough of all this sadness! I need to cheer up!!! Hmmm, How about a WWE Smackdown party tonight?!? Any of you watch wrestling? My adult beans like it. Mommy's favorites are Jeff Hardy, Randy Orton, and John Cena! Oh, and who doesn't love the Undertaker!?! I admit it, I sit on the back of the couch and stare at the tv...they say I'm weird.
Here are some videos of the above mentioned guys.

Thankful Thursday

It's late but I just wanted to post something I am thankful for....I am thankful to have a very special mancat in my life! His name is Redfurd!!!

Wordless Wednesday: Me & Tigger

Tuxie Tuesday: Whiskers

When Mommy finds a whisker, I like to eat it! She says I'm weird, but that it's funny to watch. Hope everyone has a good day. Daddy is back to work tomorrow, so maybe I can get back to posting more.

Finally Friday

Well, I made it thru another week, but the bad thing is Daddy says I get another bath this weekend. They found another flea. Ugh! I don't know how it got in here on me, but they are doing their best to kill the one here and there that they find. But, I will admit I do like how fluffy I am the next day. After I get a bath, the next day, I lay around with my tummy sprawled out waiting to be rubbed. So, it's not all bad I guess.

Oh, and I think it was T'abby Normal who told me about the "Gimp" software. Thank you! Mommy downloaded it and is going to try it out later!

P.S. Mommy finally got the bean, Landon's headshots from the lady last night. She's a little peeved. The lady said she would photoshop his busted & bruised lip when she took the pictures. Well, she didn't do a single one! They wouldn't have gotten them taken if she wasn't going to fix them. They would have waited a bit. It took her 2 weeks to put about 20 pictures on a disk and give it to us, without fixing them. So, mommy did it herself in about five minutes. See, you can't even tell he had a busted lip! So, why did this lady take 2+weeks to get them to us and not even do what she said she would?
Anyway, Landon's headshots are for a talent/modeling agency in our town. Mommy hopes he gets to do some stuff here and there and they are planning on putting the money in the savings account at the bank. Oh, and Eli is doing it aswell. But, don't worry mommy says that it's not going to turn into a crazy parents trying to get their kids on tv type of thing. Just a way to help with the future college fund. :-) Click to biggify and see how good Mommy did on the pic! The second one is using the new Gimp software and Mommy is still figuring it out. So, you can still tell a little bit where his booboo was. The third, well, we will call it an outtake!
*edit*:Mommy can't get them to click to biggify, anyone know why?

Hope everyone has a nice and sleepy weekend. Daddy is off for the next 4 days. Yay!

Tuckered Tuxie Thursday

I am a little tired so I think I'll nap on the couch today...Wanna snuggle, Redfurd?

Wordy Wednesday: Lil Bit of Everything

My Mommy is a happy Mommy as of last night. She is very happy that Barack Obama gets to be the next President. I don't understand all of this "vote" stuff, but if Mommy says it's good, then it must be...except when she talks about bathtime...eek!

So, see the evil gate in this picture? That monster keeps me from getting in the living room. Normally I wouldnt want to go in there anyway because of the beans messing with me, but when it is closed I HAVE to be right there watching everything that happens. I give Mommy a sad look from the other side of the prison gate, but she says things like "You don't want in here! The boys will get after you!" I guess she is right...

Chloe/Update: She came home from the Funeral Home on Tuesday. She is in a little white box and is right next to Tigger's ashes from a few years ago. Grandma said that when grandpa came in with the pet carrier that Snowy and Sandy came up to it looking for her. When they didn't see her, they ran and hid from them. She said that every so often Sandy would come and peek his head around the corner and look at them then run and hide again. They know something is not right. Poor kitties.

I also wanted to ask you all two questions.
1.)When you make those pretty pictures, what photo editing software do you use? Mommy can't afford PhotoShop, so we need a free something to use. She has a trial of something that costs $100 to purchase, but that's still a little high for the budget right now. Anyone have any ideas what she could use? You can email her/send her a suggestion to her email if you would like: apeclems(at)comcast.net Just replace the "(at)" with @ when you send it.
2.)I have seen some poems about the Rainbow Bridge and was wondering if any of you could point me in the right direction to find a good one for grandma to give to her with her scrapbook that is going to have pictures of Chloe in it..

Thanks Effuryone in advance for your help!
Headbutts,
~Gizmo <3

Tuxie Tuesday

First of all I would like to say thank you all for the nice comments. I have tried leaving everyone a comment to say thank you, but there were maybe 2 that I was having trouble with the comments box thingy. So, if you don't have a TY comment, please know that I tried to leave one! Here is a picture of the boys on Halloween.

R.I.P. Chloe

Update: I talked to my mother finally. She said that my Step-dad, Steve, took Chloe to a different vet and was told that unless they could pay around $600+ for 3 different tests, to figure out what is wrong, then she only had about 3 months, at the most, to live. And that's not counting all the painful pokes and pricks she would have to endure...She was in pain and was not getting better from the medicine after all. They decided to help her to the bridge this morning and Steve was taking her to the place where my Jewels (RIP 9/16/01) and my mother's other kitty, Tigger (RIP 2006), was cremated to have her cremated as well. I am trying to get around to everyone to leave thank you's for your kind words. However, the beans keep unplugging the laptop and hindering the process. I am making my mother a scrapbook of the boys and her cats for Christmas and am thinking of including a page with all of your comments in it. It would definately take her by surprise and make her smile. My mother sent me a text message saying that Chloe had crossed the bridge. I do not have any details, as I am waiting on her to call me around lunchtime, which is any moment now.

She was doing much, much better last time I talked to her. But, we didn't make it to church yesterday for me to ask my mother about her. I know Sandy and Snowy (Chloe's twin) are probably sad and looking for her.

I will have the full story as soon as my mother calls.

For Redfurd!

Lookie what I got Mommy to make!
