Greetings from Sunny Southern California.......update

Oh I forgot.................greeting from freakin hotter than the hinges of hell Southern California. Holy crap I long for the cool windy days and brisk nites of Colorado.

In spite of the hotter than holy hell weather we are having fun doing what ever it is we do. 

By the way Bogey is pretty angry we made him bring his fur coat with us cause it certainly isn't necessary here!!Temp today 109 degrees.......................yep 109!!


Todays update ...........temps have cooled drastically, plus there is moisture in the air.  Supposed to change to a bit warmer but praying to the weather Gods it stays out of the three digits.  Bogey still has that fur coat ya know.

One more update..............http://frenchbenefits.blogspot.com/2010/09/there-is-disturbance-in-force.html

Onward

Well our journey at TreeLand has ended . Do I sound sad............nope not a bit, just mixed emotions, lotsa mixed emotions.

Mr and I are speeding our way to the wide open Desert to spend time with FAMILY!!! Cannot wait cause there just ain't nuttin better than Christmas with FAMILY.

I must close, but not without mentioning our beloved Buddy the cat. We miss him every single day and especially now cause he loved chewing on the fir branches that I would cut off and bring in to make an arrangement.

Did I say Merry Christmas.................yep I just did.

May he rest in peace

We have lost our Buddy.  And yes it's terribly difficult., in fact it sucks.  I'm sure that I could Google to find out how to cope with losing your pet. 

Well Mr Doodles and I are gonna handle it in our own way.  We will mourn, shed several tears, talk about Buddy, think about him and even think he's here walking around our feet.

We will miss you Buddy, thank you for bringing joy and lots of laughs to our lives.

Thanks so much to my sweet sister and our dear bro in law for being here,  you have no idea how much we appreciated your being here.

Another Birthday

Did I ever show you this?

Bet not...........click on the photo and you can read about Buddy and the vet that saved him. Dr. Baker always had a special spot in his heart for Buddy. The whole time we lived in Key Largo he never charged us for any visits that he had to make.

In the caption under the photo (yep that's Buddy) it mentions that he was rescued........turns out he was found in the mouth of said large dog after the dog killed the momma cat as well as his brothers and sister kitties. So Buddy was an orphan and Dr. George thought of himself as his guardian angel.

A few days after they found Buddy the Baker's were invited to our house for a dinner party, Mrs B called to ask if she could bring a kitten they just rescued. Of course bring the baby kitten............when Mr Doodles held that kitten it was all over he was now our baby.

Dr George and Mrs B found Buddy on the 4th of July so that's when we celebrate his special day.


Sure wish Dr. George and Mrs B were around to help you celebrate your 15th year.

Happy Birthday Buddy!!!

My Buddy..........the cat

First Buddy the cat sends get well wishes to his cousin Buddy the dog who is not feeling too well these days.

Get Well Cousin I'll see you in September

Buddy has very limited taste when it comes to food. There are only two foods he has eaten in all of his fourteen years both of them dry. We have tried canned food on a few occasions with no success.

When Buddy went on thyroid meds the vet suggested we change his food to wet canned food so he would get his medicine that way...........Mr Doodles and I both laughed and said "that just ain't gonna happen Dr. so we will have to struggle to get his medicine in him". And struggle we do everyday but he is healthy now and happy so I have no intention of forcing him to eat canned food. At the time he had lost a lot of weight so forcing him to eat something he didn't want just didn't make sense to me.




Now open a bag of potato chips and it's a whole different story. Buddy can hear a bag of chips opened from way in the other room even if he was sound asleep curled up on the bed wrapped up in a blanket.

The other day Mr had put some chips in a bowl, I had gone over to use the computer. Buddy brought me a present, he had gotten into the bowl of chips, licked every last bit of salt off of the stolen chip and brought it to me. Sitting at my feet looking like he was saying here I brought ya a present or was he saying the salts all gone could I have another.

Cats are unusual creatures this one is especially unusual but we love him anyway, by the way Buddy knows when we are eating steak cause he smells the grille...............steak is another favorite.
