Dec 10th “I’ve got a “PROBLEM” – over here~”

“This is  “TIGER LILY”  and  I’m requesting  some emergency “HELP”   —  and “RIGHT NOW”  – does anyone realize that  –   for hours I have  been trying to get this “GECKO”  —- for my lunch  – – – today     – and   – it looks like I am not having any “LUCK”   –  with this situation  – can anybody   –    give an  “OLD GIRL”   like me   a helping hand???

“I certainly am not blind  —    but  – this “GECKO” is   simply trying my patience    – I see her as plain as day   – but she is flying around   –  just as if   –  I’m not even here  –   and I think she is laughing at me  –  and everybody knows – that it  is    not polite –  to laugh at a cat    – because the cat will get her revenge on the laugh-er   – where’s   my “ARMY” of friends  –  – I’m unable to catch her with my paw???”

This is one of those situations  – when you could say what my Mother used to say  –  “OH the GIFT of   “Gie  us”   to see ourselves as others see us” …   (from Robert Burns – poem)

Looks like it is getting dark outside  –  and the old   “GECKO”  – is probably trying to catch a hold of the “CAT’S  PAW”   – and cannot make the connection either   – that –  – they are each – in separate worlds  – only the window pane    – keeps them – world’s apart! ???

Dec 9th “Don’t forget US – Man’s Best Friend!”

“Lucy and Heather have some important stories for Santa!”

“LUCY, should I   –  just tell  “SANTA”  about all the neighborhood stories – that we hear about  –  from our “Barking Reporter?”   —-   “HOLD STILL!”   —-   “Those  “SANTA  ELVES” have the camera on us –  – just pose with your friendliest looking face   –  – since we have  been  – so good   – I know that we are going to receive some of the best   “LOVE”    that our   “OWNERS” can give  –  I’m so glad that we came to live   with the  “McClarren Family”  they really treat us so good!”

“SANTA”  –  we have a barking dog in our neighborhood  –  and we all call him the  “BARKING REPORTER”  – since  –   he barks to all of us – letting us know where the best homes are for  “MAN’S BEST FRIEND” – because sometimes – some people just drop  off  –  their animals that they can no longer take care of   –  and our  “BARKING REPORTER” lets  all of us  –   direct those poor friends of our kind    –  to a home with a loving and kind “FAMILY” that will take in and adopt  one more of “MAN’s BEST FRIENDS!”  – 

So, LUCY, dear  –  let’s give  our “FAMILY” and all the most wonderful  “Families” that  -take in and give  –   “LOVE and CARE”   – to all our stray friends – the best of “THANK YOU’s”  – as only we can do…  “BOW -WOW -WOW    Bark – barkie – barkio – ooo…”

Dec 5th “Hark the Herald Angels Sing!”

“Do you know why – I am playing – “Hark the Herald Angels – Sing!?”

“If you read – the post for yesterday – the post before this one –  – go to the arrow and back page to see my “feline cousin, Bonnie Opal – the “ANGEL”  – on top of the  Christmas Tree – She is up there because she heard me playing  –   “Hark the Herald Angels Sing”  – and she is not coming down   –  from the top of the Christmas Tree  – until I play her favorite song!”

“While you are looking at the   – “Christmas Tree Angel” – singing at the top of the Christmas Tree  –  do you see me sitting at the foot of the  CHRISTMAS –  tree???”  “The ANGEL – Bonnie Opal – said in her special “MEOW – MEOW”  – –    ” I can see from way up here – when it will be our  –   “DINNER” time – and when our  “DINNER” will be ready – I’ll let you know – so that you can play our favorite dinner song – and I’ll be singing  so loud   –  and will join you at the “DINNER” table!”

“Pearl – the “CAT” and also is  our favorite “Piano-Player”   – does most of the entertaining  and is  – so “LUCKY”   to have “ANGEL”  BONNIE OPAL  –   in the same household  –  because she will sing all the songs  that  “PEARL – the piano-player –   teaches  her!!!

Dec 5th Christmas Tree “Angel – Bonnie Opal”

Are you putting up your Christmas Tree?   Do you have a beautiful tree like this one in the “PHOTO” – and did you think to ask  – your family pets   –  for help???

This is the  – Christmas Tree –  that my brother,  Denny and his wife, Judy  were putting up  – and it looks like they were not working fast enough  –   to put all  of the decorations  and lights   – and then – like most people – when the lights are on   –  making the “TREE” look beautiful   –   you will put the “ANGEL” on the top   – as  you check to  see if the   “ANGEL”   will be  looking down on all in the room – from the “just right” direction – from the  very  – top of the “TREE!”

Well, it looks like the “FAMILY” cat, Bonnie Opal – decided that she needs to inspect this “TREE” out    – and see –  what part of the “decorating” can she improve   – so that this “TREE” will be the   very best looking “TREE” in the neighborhood.  So,  while “BONNIE OPAL”   was sitting on the top of the tree  –  she liked that spot so well   – she decided that she would be the   –  Christmas Tree  – “ANGEL”  – as she now had a “BIRD’s -eye” view of everything going on – and while  she was up  in “HEAVEN”  – why not call this “HOME?”

If you like this photo   – let me know and send in more   – We love seeing our animal friends taking part in our daily lives   – and always reminding us   – that they like what we do   – and only want to try to do  –   the very  same things!
