More Snow

Well, crappity, crap crap crap.
Again.
Another winter storm today.
The snow from the last storm was practically all melted, too.
This is the view from outside our front door.

Lookit!

We got a new bed!
Mom said Petco was having a pet bed clearance sale when she went there to get us food.
She said this one originally cost 40 green papers and she got it for 17 green papers.

Shaggy jumped in it right away, but mostly I use it. Mom says it is actually a woofie bed, but now it's a kitty bed.

See how decorative it is!
You can have the pillow so it matches the pattern on the outside.
Or, if you turn the pillow over, it matches the inside with a suede-like fabric.
But I like it best with the Kitty Kosy we got from Timothy Dickens Grammie!

Spring?

We got about 8 inches of new snow to add to what we already have on the ground from the storm this weekend.
But the good news is its supposed to be near 40 all week and some serious melting going to happen. People here call these kind of spring snow storms Tournament Blizzards because they seem to happen without fail every March at tourney time. They melt fairly quickly this time of year, so people are never too upset when it happens.
I just want to enjoy going outside again in my harness to stalk birds & squirrels!

Spring Storm

Well, crappity crap crap crap!
Just when almost all the snow was melted, look at what we have today!
I darted out around Dad's ankles when he went out to get the paper this morning and man, did I get surprised....It was only ankle deep at that time, and it's piling up fast! Heavy, wet & slushy.
I turned tail and bolted in just as fast, let me tell you!
Dad's singing "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas" and we are all confused.

Scooby on Patrol

I've been restless lately.
Patrolling the house, doing lots of meowing.
Going from window to window, keeping track of the birds & squirrels.
They are all rather plump & juicy looking these days.
Mom's got another head/chest cold.
So we three are busy helping her rest on the bed and being sure she takes it easy.

Dad's Turn

Dad was on the treadmill thing the other night and mom came in to scoop out the litter box
we keep in that room.
As she was doing this, Dad exclaimed:

"LOOK at the SIZE of those LOGS!"

Mom had to explain about clumping litter.
Mom also says Dad needs to take a turn scooping boxes.

Cat Sitting

Our mom was catsitting for our long-time neighbors last weekend.

They have two beautiful girl kitties.

She brought them some new feather butt mice and they were very excited over their new toys.

Our neighbors are originally from Pakistan so the girls names reflect that.

The calico is Chotee, which means "Little One". Chotee is the first and only calico that mom has ever met.

The gray tabby is Sonee, which means "Beautiful".

Here are some pictures so you can meet them too.
(Something happened on our camera date thingy. These were taken last weekend.)

Thanks Everyone

Thank you everyone for your prayers and concern for our boy. He didn't eat dinner the night before and took his usual shot at bedtime. Then around 6am when he started to get disoriented, he took another dose, thinking he hadn't taken the earlier one. So with a double dose of insulin in him he almost went into a coma, or worse. Thank goodness mom was home!
He was back to his normal self the next day.
Mom says she hopes it is a wakeup call for him to take better care of himself, but she doubts it because he doesn't remember a thing.
Mom wishes she had video so she could show him, but the EMT's probably wouldn't have liked that.

Scary Day

Mom & us had a scary thing happen today.
Our boy, 19, had a bad, bad diabetic reaction this morning.
Mom went to wake him up for college and he was rolling around, glassy eyed and not responding to her.
She called 911 for paramedics and they got here fast.
We had to be shut in the other room so we wouldn't get stepped on or escape. We were real upset, especially Scout, who was running all around with his tail pouffed out.
They checked his blood sugar and it was 24, which is extremely low for those of you not familiar with it. Then they hooked up an IV into his vein and pumped glucose directly into
his bloodstream.
He started to respond in about 5 minutes and was back up to where he should be in about 15 minutes. He had no idea what was happening and who these people were. He said "Hey, what's going on?" He felt ok and the paramedics didn't have to take him to the hospital. They were in touch with the emergency room doc and he advised it would be ok to recuperate at home.
Please keep him in your prayers today, he is eating again but his blood sugar keeps dropping down making him shaky.
Mom's adrenaline is still going and she's kind of jittery feeling too.
-Scooby, Shaggy & Scout
