My Sisfur, Lucy.

Before, I did write a post about my big sisfur, Brownie. Now, Mom and Dad tell me it's only fair dat I write one about my ofur sisfur, Lucy.

Dat is Lucy on one of her first days wif Mom and Dad. She was about a year and half old. (Dat's da same age I was when i was adopted!) But now she is 10!! Dat foto was taken a long time ago!

February, 2003 Mom and Dad adopted my sisfur, Brownie. I already told dat story. Dat Winter, Mom and Dad saw Lucy for adoption at da PetSmart dat we go to. Mom really wanted to adopt her but Dad said no. Dey kept visiting da store and visiting Lucy. Da more dey visited and da more dey played wif da cats, the more Dad considered adopting Lucy. Eventually he said it was okay. So at da end of October, dey did submit der application to da rescue. Da lady didn't want to adopt da cat to M&D cuz dey rent der home. She said hoomans who rent der homes usually moof and den don't want da animals anymore!! Can you believe dat?!? Mom told her dat her pets are her family, she would not leaf dem behind. Den da nice manager at PetSmart wrote a letter of recommendation for M&D, saying dey are good hoomans and are a good Mom and Dad and dat dey should get to take Lucy home! So da rescue decided to okay da adoption!! On November 2nd, 2003 M&D took Lucy home. Dey say she is a very social and sweet kitty. I.. well.. I's just fink she is a cat. I duz like to chase her!!
She has been wif Mom and Dad a long time now! She has never been mean to me, 'cept when I suprise her by being underneaf da blankie she tries to walk on. But even den she is not mean, she is just surprized.
I guess she is a good sisfur, but just look at dees fotos! Mom and Dad say I is sillies, but look at all the silly places dey haf found Lucy!!
Here are more photos of her.

HAPPY FANKSGIVING!!!



Tomorrow is Fanksgiving here da USA. Dats a day where hoomans duz eat lots and is supposed to take time to be fankful for der lives, da people dey luff, and da fings dey have.
I fink eating lots duz sound pawsome. But Mom told me it is impawtant to remember not to share lots of hooman food wif doggies (even hounds, like me!), dat too much will make us unhealfy. She also sez dat some foods will make doggies sick even if dey duzn't make hoomans sick! So PLEASE be careful 'bout what you share wif your doggies dis Fanksgiving!! And remember not to give dem cooked bones as dey are dangerus.
But it is also impawtant to take time to be fankful for efurryfing and efurry one you love. 'Specially doggies, cause dat means extra cuddles fur us!!!

My Big Sisfur

I has two big sisfurs, Brownie is a doggie like me and Lucy is a cat. But today, I want to talk about my sisfur, Brownie.
Brownie was borned on July 2nd, 2002. I duzn't know what her life was like before, but when she was 7 monfs old she ended up at da Kansas Humane Society. Mom and Dad got married August 24th, 2002, and a short time later Mom started tellin' Dad she wanted a dog. Dey knew dey wanted to adopt a dog instead of buying on, and dey wanted a dog dat was harder to adopt. Dad wasn't so sure dey was ready for a doggie but Mom really wanted a dog. She started lookin' on da 'puter at dogs dat were for adoption. She was lookin' at da Kansas Humane Society website and saw a foto dat changed her life. She says it was love at first site. Here is da foto:
Mom talked Dad into going to da shelter "just to visit". Dey looked at all da dogs but were keeping an eye our fur sisfur.  When dey found her she was in da back of her kennel, Mom says she looked scared and sad. Dey decided dey wanted to find out more, when dey walked away from da kennel, Brownie cried! Dad says dat is when he knew she was der dog, Mom says she knew when she saw da foto. Da shelter let dem take her out and go to a visiting room. Mom sat down on da floor and when Brownie came in she ran into Mom's lap and put her head on her shoulder. She loved dem right away too!
Da date was February 9th, 2003, and dat was da dey Brownie got her furever home!!! Now she is nine years old and she is my big sisfur. I luffs my sisfur. I miss her when one of us duz stuff wifout da ofer. I like to be close to her when I is nervous and she is fun to play wif! She is an excellent big sisfur! She is always nice too me, even when I is being 'noying.
Dis is a foto Mom took of Brownie just dis week:
Today, Mom got sad. She took us to da dog park and we were very happy and had lots of fun. But Brownie wasn't moving as easy as usual and she laid down a lot. When we did a walk around da edge of da fence togetfur, Brownie had a hard time keeping up wif us. Mom says it is her hips, she says she is sad dat her baby girl isn't a baby anymore. She gave her lots of luffs when we gots home. I luffs her too so I wanted to talk about her on my blog today. Here are Mom's two favrit fotos of Brownie. One is older and one is newer.
And dats a little about my big sisfur, Brownie and how much we luffs her!!

After dat we drove to see Dad!! I got to explore his office and meet da man he works wif! He gave me a piece of ham!!!!
But dis is where it gets really 'citing! We got back in da van and drove a long time! I took a nap on da way! We stopped at a house... it was da house of Mom's Mom and Dad! I has two uncles and two aunts dat live der too! Dey is all golden retrievers!! I wuz pretty scaredy at furst cuz I has nefur met dem before, but I calmed down. Mom and her Mom took me to Petco! It was fun 'cept dey bought me booties! SO EMBARRASSING!!! Den we went to TSC and der were lots of people der. Dey stopped for food on da way home and it smellled SO NOMMY!!!
Dey ate der dinner but shared bits of it wif all us doggies! It was so tasty!!! Mom says dey were spoiling me, but I duzn't feel like I has gone bad!
