My apologies

Well, I didn't know that my trip would scare so many kitties. I only went for a walk. Yeah, maybe I was gone for almost four whole days. So wut?, as Jeter would say. I'm home now. This is where they found me.


Just waiting for the beans to wake up and LET ME IN THE HOUSE! I promise to not run away again. (not really). No, really. (no, not really). No really. I do promise.

Please Clyde, come home!

I've been outside looking for you, Clyde. You left two days ago and you've never come home. I miss you, brother. Get back quick!

Happy New Year!

Goodbye Pixie

Good Bye Sweet Sprout

Thursday Thirteen: Edition 10

As many of you may have noticed, yes we do now have a woofie living here with us. And as many of you may have guessed, not many of us are very happy about it. It has been awhile since I have done a Thursday Thirteen so I decided to do one on my new woofie sibling.

1. His name is Clifford Waylon Rodriguez.

2. He is a boy.

3. He is a Brussels Griffon woofie.

4. He will turn five months old in a few weeks.

5. He has red fur with a black beard.

6. He weighs 8 ½ pounds. My brother, Mar weighs 18 pounds.

7. He does not shed. My Lady says this is a very nice thing. I beg to differ.

8. He is a very calm puppy I must admit. He doesn’t get too excited and jump on people too often. Again, My Lady says this is a good thing. I agree.

9. He has all of his claws, front and back. I think this is unfair and that he should at least get his front claws yanked out like mine were yanked out. My Lady says that this isn’t done to woofies. I say there is a first time for everything.

10. He sleeps in a crate at night and not in the bed with us. I like these arrangements and think they should stay this way always.

11. The only one of us that he gets along with is Clyde. Cliff likes Clyde a bit more than Clyde likes Cliff, but they still really do get along. My brother, Clyde gets along with everyone. I think he is brain damaged.

12. He does not use a litter box. He goes outside on a leash and the beans wait and wait and wait and wait and wait and wait and wait for him to go potty. My Lady says she doesn’t like this part, but it has to be done.

13. He doesn’t like food very much. This makes him extra weird. The beans have to play with his food in front of his face or he won’t eat it. He gets ½ cup of kibble twice a day, but he never eats it all.

I really do not know much about this new creature as of yet. I haven’t decided on whether I should plot his departure or if I should just cave in and stop hissing at him and try to get along. I have heard many kitties in the blogosphere that get along with their woofie siblings so I may end up giving it a try. We’ll see.

I am no longer home alone

Well, okay. The beans are back, finally! They got back late Wednesday night. It had been raining a lot in Virginia so they came home early. I was so excited. I followed My Lady everywhere she went. I even sat on the edge of the bathtub and watched her take a bath. I had missed that.

However, I am no longer excited that she is home. You may be wondering why. Well, I'm gonna show you why. I do have to tell you that the following picture may make some kitties queasy. It does me. For those who do not want to see the frightening image below, do not scroll down.

I wouldn't look if I were you...






I really would rethink your decision to scroll down...






This could be harmful to your health...






I'd stop if I were you...






I'm telling you, you may scratch your eyes out...

Well, too late now...

I am all alone!

Okay, so I do have my brothers and Charlotte here with me, but My Lady and Senor left a week ago and haven't been back. This is horrible! They said they were going on a cruise. I thought that meant a really long drive. I just heard my Grand Lady on the phone with My Lady. She was over here giving me food and water and I heard her say that My Lady was in St. Thomas. Then she said something about a week in Virginia afterwards to go camping! Wait, what?! This means that they are leaving us for almost three weeks. This is horrible. Does any kitty want to come over and play???? The Grand Lady has the computer on right now so I can blog for just a bit. We are all alone. We can have a partay with niptinis and tent wars!!!

Scout, I miss you! I'm sorry I can't visit.

Wordless Wednesday: My Yard at Night

Henry's Wordless Wednesday

Clyde's Outdoor Fun

Hey guys, it's me, Clyde. I have something exciting to share with you all. Guess what it is? The Lady and Senor have been letting me outside! Can you believe it? It all started when it got nice outside and everytime someone would try to leave I would dart out the door. They got tired of chasing me and just gave up. The Lady said if you want to go outside then that's fine, go outside. So I did. The Lady goes outside with me and does yard work. I just hang out nearby and play in the dirt or sometimes just sit around. Doesn't it look like fun?


There is just something that I love about having the dirt squish between my paws. (My Lady got to clean that whole patch of yard out. She was not too thrilled). Anyway, there is a really nice little creek that runs through the neighbors yard. I really like the creek. You wanna know why?


Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks! Quacking ducks!!! They are moving toys with wings! I was very nice to the ducks. I watched the duckies walk through the yard. I didn't chase them. I was a very good kitty, see.


All I did was look at them. Okay, well maybe I did try to chase them a little bit. They didn't seem very phased by it.


I had so much fun playing with those ducks. They haven't been back though. I'm not sure why. Anyway, when The Lady was ready to come back in she yelled my name and I had to stop playing with the ducks and I ran back home to My Lady.


I can't wait to go out again!

The Book Meme & an award

I got tagged by Sly to do a meme. It has been a long long long time since I have done a meme. I really thank Sly for tagging me for this and I think every kitty should go and visit him. He is still kind of a new blogger since he just started in January. Anyway...

Here are the rules:

1. Pick up the nearest book.
2. Open to page 123
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five people and post a comment to Empress once you post it to your blog so she can come see!

Products. (What new reports, new forms, new physical items, new procedures, or whatever, will result from implementing the change?) Cost. (What will it probably cost, and how did you determine that? Remember that kinds of costs, e.g., personnel versus capital equipment, are important distinctions in some organizations.) Appendix. (Include any back up charts, computations, survey data, references, lists, or other items which, while necessary for the decision, would interrupt te flow of the proposal if included in the body of it.)

Yep, that's it. My Lady is taking some business classes right now. She is really tired of it, but it has to be done. She told me that if I copied this out of the book that I was going to have to cite my reference. I gave her the bitey and hissed at her. I think she caught my drift. Anyway, I am going to tag any kitty that wants to play since I know I am playing this a bit late and most other kitties have already played.

Now, second and just as important, we were given an award from Karl over at The Cat Realm. This is really a great award that Karl is passing on to us kitties here in the blogosphere. Everykitty who was around last year went through a lot when Anastasia went missing. It was really a shock and so unexpected. Karl, it has been great to be friends with you. I'm very glad that you did not stop blogging over Ana's disappearance. I know it was hard to keep going and I am so glad that you did. For those kitties who never got to know or meet Ana, click here to go to her tribute blog created by her loving brother, Karl. You can get to know this great and crazy gal that we all grew to love so much.

Karl, Happy First Blogoversary to you and you are a very valued friend of mine.

I hope they are okay
