Wordless wednesday - last one of my green friend, giving him a kiss goodbye

More views of my bug friend

Where are you going green bug?




Our friends think you might be a kaydid. We will have to look it up on Wikipedia and see!




Almost got you!!

I just played with the bug. I never ate him. He runned away and hid in some weeds. Big weeds.

He looked about the right size to fit in my mouth though.

I am sending big hugs to my special friends at Kodak, Winton & 3Perf . Sweet Winton went to the bridge today, and I know his family will miss him lots. He had chronic renal failure and his mom did a super job of loving him, and giving him fluids and special foods. But he was tired and let her know that he was ready of the bridge. Winton I hope there are lots of bugs at the bridge for you. I am going to send some hugs to your family, I know they miss you lots.

Bugalicious

Green bugalicious!!



You sure is a big green monster.


We don't even know what kind of bug you are?

Anybody clever know?

Great Weekend

Today my mum found me snoozing in the sun. It felt like a lovely spring day.


We had a big photo shoot session with lots of fun photos to share with you during the week.


Don't I look silly upside down? Mum loves this photo. She thinks I look like a grey teddy bear.




You can see how floofy my chest is and how wrinkly my furs look.

And how many weeds have grown between the bricks.

Have a nice week everybuddy.

Tonight - our election

Today was our election day. The votes are in, and like our friends in the US, we have elected to have a change of government.


We hope when they move into these buildings, that they will help do good things for all of us in New Zealand.

When big uncle comes to town, he likes to go and have a picnic in the gardens. It is open to the public, and you can roll around on the grass and enjoy your mcmuffin.




Have a nice weekend everybuddy.

Rastus and Max

This is a picture of a very famous New Zealand cat, Rastus and his driver Max. Max used to ride his motorbike around the curvy country roads of NZ and Rastus was always perched like that on top of the engine, with his own helmet on. He even had his own ad on tv!!

Sadly Rastus, Max and Maxs girlfriend Gaynor were killed in a tragic road accident 10 years ago. They have a memorial website here: http://www.petsonthenet.co.nz/maxandrastus.htm and one of their friends has written several childrens books about this very clever cat.

We miss you Max and Rastus.

Have a great weekend everybuddy.

Exciting

Wow - that was an exciting election. Ours will be dull - they are all boring, will want too much tax and won't solve anything.

I should be the next prime minister - free catnip for all!!

Wordless Wednesday

Elections

Tonight our leaders debate was on tv, see we have New Zealand national elections on Saturday.

It was very boring.................zzzzz

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....... so I went to sleep,.............

..........change the channel mum.

Mum says she is not sure yet who she wants to vote for, in the debate the leaders said nothing to impress her. Good luck to all our US friends voting soon, we hope you know which one to tick.

Oh happy birthday to my big uncle. Big uncle, I hope you had a nice day!

MONTY Q WHERE ARE YOU?

Monty Q cat was missing, but now the dude is home a bit cold and hungry. We are so glad you found your way home my super friend, luckily your escapes don't last long.

Tabbyman you should stay at home with your sweet family.

View

Blogger still seems to be doing silly things with the photos. Today the rain cleared and mum went out with her good friends for a walk to the botanical gardens. This picture is from the top of the gardens overlooking the harbour.


As mum walked home she walked across the parliament gardens. The big round building is where our government spends all the countries money, and we all call it 'the Beehive'. Our elections are coming up this Saturday, and we know all about the ones in the US too. Please make sure you all get out and vote.

This is another view of the city down below, and looking out onto the harbour.

On a sunny day, it is a lovely place to live.

This was my view all day, I stayed home and guarded the neighbourhood.

Relax

I did a bit more of this today as the weather was horrid. We had lots of cold, wind and rain. It is good for the garden but not good for us. We hope you got some sunshine wherever you is. Stay warm and take it easy everybuddy.

Minding my own business

I was just lying here minding my own business,.................when my mum dropped this fella onto my bed......................................................................................



..............herrow little blue catnip fish,......................................


............................you looks like fun!!!...............................

Mum says she has seen me fall off the bed chasing him twice in the past three days.......................

..........blue fish I loves you!!!

Have a great weekend everybuddy.

Holiday part two

Blogger is mixing up the order of the pictures we are trying to post. Anyways these are some of the little country houses in the next town that mum stayed at.



Martinborough is a small country town that is in the middle of what is now a large wine growing region. Lots of these houses are owned by rich townies, and can be hired for the weekend.



They are very sweet, and all a 5 minute walk to the local pub, supermarket and cafes.

Luckily most retain their original features, and haven't been torn out and replaced with modern houses.

This is the one that mum and her friends stayed at. It got lovely morning sun, and you could sit on the porch in the sun, next to the lavender and drink your fresh orange/grapefruit drink squeezed from fruit that grows in the back garden.

Mums Holiday

Hi everybuddy. We are back home now, and thought we would share some of mums snapshots. Mum went for a holiday for her purrthday to a wee town called Greytown, with her friends. This was the nice bedroom she got to stay in.........


........in this nice old house................

.........which had a great fountain outside with real live fishies in it. Boy mum, you should have let me come and stay with you.

This is the nice little back garden. The wee house at the back is where they cook and do the washing.

Mum says it was a lovely weekend away and she would like to thank everybuddy for the birthday wishes. Especially as her birthday is shared by a couple of her lovely blogging friends.

Tomorrow we will show you the other place she stayed.
