All I want for christmas is..........................

.............my big uncles hat!! I loves it, it smells of his head.


On the night he comed to visit me, he left it on the bed, so I sniffed it real good.

Then I fell asleep in it!!

When mum showed him these pictures when he got home................

he tooked his hat away from me. Awwwwwwwwwwww big uncle can't you share?

I hope you all get something to make you happy this christmas. I wish all of our friends a happy and healthy 2009, and hope that all the lovely cats in shelters get to find their furrever homes.

Almost merry christmas everybuddy.

V-E-T visit

Today my mum put me in my ptu. She suprised me, so it happened quickly. She called the taxi and then took me outside to wait. So while she was looking up the road, I pushed on the PTU door, and miracle it gave and fell out and I escaped. Of course that was when the taxi came.

Mum had to ask the man to wait, then runned inside to find me in the garden. No way mum I'm not coming near you again today. What's that - the fancy feast and the plate. YUMMY, maybe I will come a little bit closer. Damn, she got me again!! But I drew blood!!

Off to the V-E-T, vaccinations and a big brushing all done and mums wallet is a little lighter. Oh and I am spending the evening in the garden, not talking to her. Except at bed time, cause it is a little chilly and she might sneak the electric blanket on, and I might need to snuggle between her knees a little bit. So she is a little bit forgiven.

Fank you secret santa!!

Fank you secret santa friend, for sending me a special parcel!!


It got opened by the MAF (customs men), but they said I could have it!!

Mum says no peeking til Chrismouse day though!!

Ohhhhhhhh I wonder what is in it?

Fank you secret santa friend, I'm gonna put it by the chrismouse tree.

Weather

It is meant to be summer here but we are having lashings of rain today. Poor mums washing will not get dry at all. A good day for resting.

Christmas Cards - Raising money for Moki ****Please Scroll down for new posts****

This is me and our christmas decorations for the year. We have a star glowing at the window, and a cute fibre optic tree.

We would love to send all of our friends christmas cards, and this year if you get us to send a card, we will donate $3 per card to our friend Moki to help pay his bills (you don't have to pay anything).

If you would like a card from me in New Zealand, you can email me at: julieq AT xtra Dot co Dot nz Just remember to run all the letters together and to just use little letters, no capitals.

Merry Holiday season everybuddy.

What do you mean?

What do you mean I have to go for a checkup on Monday? Oh man, I now have all weekend to find me a hidey hole.

Have a nice weekend everybuddy.

Hello friends

Mum says, that two nights with four hour sleeps, and having to stay at work til 5 am...............


a misbehaving computer, and christmas presents to wrap........

.........means we have missed our blogging friends.

We hope to catch up with everybuddy soon.

Christmas Cards

Dear everybuddy,

I have been helping my mum finish the christmas cards. Please forgive the delay, we have had a few interruptions and mum has been very busy at work.


We have emailed you all our address, if you wanted to send us one. However we would be super happy if you saved the postage money and donated this to our friend Moki, or any of our other sick friends to help with their vet bills.

Grey hair

Oh, that is my catdoor over there, and yes I can fit through that tiny hole.


No point going through it now the door is actually open.

Yes, mum made it to her hair appointment today. I don't know why she pays the big dollars to hide the greys, what's wrong with grey furs? I love mine!!

Saturday

My G'dad went home today. He dropped mum into town for her hair appointment, pity she got the day wrong - her appointment was for Sunday not Saturday, hahaha!!!



As soon as G'dad went I spent the afternoon rolling around on the bed he slep in, soaking up the smells. Maybes visitors aren't so bad.



Have a nice weekend everybuddy. We know lots of our northern friends have snow, we have lots of sun forecast so we will soak up some sunbeams for you.

Busy

Wow it has been a busy week. G'dad is still here. Mum and him went out for a drive today, and had a look around the harbour, and town. They went to the botanical gardens and looked at the nice roses. They looked in the cafe there but it was very expensive, so they drove to a cheaper one and had a tasty lunch.

Mum worked tonight, and G'dad went visiting friends. So I had the house to mycatself. I am getting used to visitors, especially ones like G'dad who know how to dish out the biscuits.

Brave

This is what the sky looked like today, and in fact most days where we live. Lots of clouds and some blue skies and sun.


A great day to dry the washing.

My G'dad is here, and when mum got home from work tonight she found us playing footsies on the bed together, she couldn't find her camera though. I love it when someone lets me chase their toes. I have been very brave in getting close to my G'dad. I am learning to be nice to visitors.

Tuesday

Another visitor is coming? What do you mean I have to give up my bed again?

Bug

I can hear you noisy bug, but I can't see you.


You sure like to make some loud buggy noises.

You better get quiet soon, as we are off to bed and mum needs lots of beauty sleep.

P.S we posted 20 of our christmas cards today. We hope to have the rest finished by the weekend. We will also email you all and let you know our address. Keep checking your letterboxes.

What to buy your bean for christmas

Welcome to our guide for buying a present for your bean. Mum has helped me chose the presents from Etsy http://www.etsy.com/index.php. We love Etsy. All the things we have bought from sellers there have been awesome. Artists around the world sell their wares, there is no bidding like ebay, they set a price and you buy now. Mum has found that if you want something custom made, most sellers will do anything in the shape, style and colour you want, if you give them enough time. We like to support people who make their own stuff, and we hope you find something you like.

Please enjoy looking, and if you can help out we ask that you spare a few christmas dollars to help our friends in need this holiday season.

Aunty Visit

Last night my aunty visited with me. I rubbed and rubbed all over her boots, and left some pretty good kitty smells on them. That should drive her dog crazy when she gets home.

Have a good weekend everybuddy.

Visitors

We have visitors coming for the next couple of days. I'll be outside if you need me.

Under the Washing Line

Under the washing line............



you can often find a shady spot...........

as long as it is not too windy!! (Our town is known as Windy Wellington)

Long day

Upside down, half sleepy almost lazer eye look, so attractive. Why so many pictures of me sleepinng, mum says she gets good shots of me.

Mum had one of those days at work. Just when she felt like coming home and relaxing with a big cold drink, she had too many jobs to do and she is on call, so a nice cold Gin and lemonade will have to wait a couple of days.

Christmas card writing is exhausting

I have been busy helping my mum write christmas cards.


I am all tuckered out.

Thanks for helping our mate Moki. We will have them in the post to you soon.
