Happy Belated Fathers Day Daddy

Mommy sure has a lot of excuses these days (blah blah blah possible broken toe. blah blah blah caught the blurpy's cold. blah blah blah green papers deadlines.) so we really have no apologies for her. We sure missing visiting all your bloggies as much. We hope to catch up with you all again real soon. Please do not think we don't care or don't love you all and think of you often - we do!! We also wanted to tell our Daddy how much we love him (even though Mommy didn't have time to help us blog on Fathers Day). Daddy is the reason Ollie does not live in the shelter anymore. Ollie is Daddy's special pal. Here is Ollie giving Daddy some love. We hope all your daddys and food dudes had super special days, too!!

Wordless Wednesday

What the??? Wednesday

Mommy says we have to share with the blurpy but we're not allowed in HER bed now are we???? What's up with THAT??

Memorial Mancat Monday

Happy Memorial Day and Mancat Monday to everykitty!! Hope you and your beans had a super day!

You say it's our birthday!!!

Today is our birthday!!! We had a low key but fun time today celebrating our birthdays. Mommy gave us each our own salmon cake with a candle in it. And, we wore crowns. Ok, "wore" perhaps isn't the right word but we *enjoyed* crowns which made us feel very special.

Rainy days

We don't really mind all this rain. Mommy and Daddy and Blurpy get a little nuts about it raining so much but rain is good. Rain means you get sleepy and need to nap. Rain means birdies come out and get food and take baths. Rain means beans don't leave the house as much. We think rain is pretty great actually!! Happy Rainy Days to all!

Oh, but this photo was taken when there was actually still sun in the sky. We did this to help the beans remember what it was like.

Mancat Monday

It's a misty Mancat Monday here. Good time to curl up on the bed and not come down all day. Enjoy!!

Wordless Wednesday

I love my blurp

You know, I sort of wanted to be alone with myself but then the blurpy wanted to play. So, I did. then, I got annoyed and went and played with the easter carnage instead.

Happy Easter!!

We're having a great Easter day so far and hope you all are, too!! Hope the Easter Bunny brought you lots of great plastic eggs to swat (he sure brought us lots of them this year but for some reason the Blurpy Girl keeps taking them) and lots of HAM!!

Mancat Monday

Real Mancats like ride-on toys, too.

(At least somebody gets to use it since our blurpy doesn't understand how to ride it yet.)

Edie and Floyd

Well, here are some more silly woofies in scarves. Mommy gave these woofies matching scarves for Christmas and apparently they love wearing them!! Perhaps you remember we introduced you to Floyd and Edie back in September. These adorable woofies are and the fur kids of our mommy and daddy's friends, Chris and Jim. We are glad they liked their christmas presents!!! Again these scarves (and the ones mommy gave to Bailey and Chaeli) were made by a local artisan here in Lansdowne at 79west designs. Cool, huh??

What a month

Wow! We can't believe our last post was so long ago now... It's been a busy month for our beans because our blurpy sister's 1 year birthday was on March 26th and Mommy and Daddy were busy preparing for a big family party and out of town guests. In addition to that Mommy has been very busy in her free moments with some consulting projects that are eatin' up all her time she would normally give us on the computer with her. This, we feel, is just not fair. We know she needs to help bring in some green papers but seriously, we do not like it when we cannot check our friends' blogs and see what is going on. For example, we didn't even know Kimo had to go to the V-E-T recently until Mommy told us because she says she saw it on facebook. WE say "stop spending your time making green papers and checking facebook and help us blog!!" What do you think?? Should Daddy help us blog more since Mommy has been so MIA? Also, Mommy claims that because our blurpy girl still is getting up at weird hours that somehow that is affecting her ability to help us blog. Come on lady... If you're up at 4am, that's more time for blogging, right???

Anyhooo... the party was hit with the beans though we stayed upstairs all day once the guests started to arrive. Here are some photos of Ollie with the Birthday Girl before her party really got going, though.

Scritchy Sunday

I, Mr. Chen, declare today a day for lots of scritches. Enjoy!!!

Fun Furry Friday

Well, we could have saved this for a Mancat Monday post but we thought it fitting for a fun, furry friday post anyway. Hope you and your beans have a wonderful weekend!

Mancat Monday

Hanging with my blurpy

Here is the blurp. And, here is Ollie with the blurpy. Do you think he is trying to train her to throw her food his way? First bagels, next temptayshuns!

Mancat Monday

Good mancats always inspect their blurpy sister's play yards for any safety hazards.

Good grief

Look at these woofies in their sweaters!! Meet Bailey and Chaeli - two woofies who live in Baltimore with Mommy's friend Heather (who is going to have a blurpy soon - boy those woofies are in for it then). Mommy got these sweaters for them from a local craftsperson right here in Lansdowne. Aren't they great??? Still, we don't know about you but woofies in sweaters just make us a little uncomfortable. Oh well, to each their own, right???

Moody Mancat Monday

We officially declare today Moody Mancat Monday. Our blurpy sister got up real real early and woke up mommy and daddy and us and we all were awake from about 2:30-4:30am. Then, when the blurp finally decided to go back to sleep, Ollie decided to play the Push Things Off the Nightstand Loudly game and this made mommy and daddy very annoyed. So, we're all a bit "moody" today. Lack of sleep and patience will do that to the best of us, right??

But on a positive note we want to also say how grateful we are for some wonderful awardies we have received (even though Mommy didn't help us thank you on the bloggie sooner). LC, Ayla and Iza gave us the "Friends' awardie! We are so honored - thank you guys!! And, we also received a "Love Ya" awardie from Teri and the cats of Furrydance. Actually, we think they are the same award with different names perhaps. Thank you for such sweet and fun awards!!

So, better late than never but we will now pass along these great awardies, too. Here are the roolz: “LOVE YA” award-winner… These blogs are exceedingly charming.
