It is NOT love at first sight!

Lehana went to the shelter today and met 2 guys. She seemed to like the younger one a little better than the older one, however we're giving the senior guy first chance to bond because of the fact that he's so old. He just got neutered recently so he's still wayyyy too frisky for Lehana's tastes...we're hoping he'll settle down after a while and be content to just cuddle...if ya know what I mean!

The other handsome guy is only 2 years old but he had much better manners. If we can't make it work with this guy...we'll probably give him a try even though there's a huge age difference. Right now, Lehana isn't too happy that there's a strange man living in the other half of her pen that she is now locked out of.

Ain't love grand?

Kinzi

Success!!!

Lehana did GREAT during her surgery. Dr. Taylor was able to file off all the nasty points on her teeth and Lehana's bladder relaxed while she was sedated and alot of the icky sludge came out on its own. She's still on antibiotics for a week, but she's already eating harder foods like hay and carrots. Looks like she'll be going on a date with that sexy older man after all!

Kinzi

PS...special thanks to Dr. Taylor at Caputo Animal Hospital for taking such fabulous care of my friend!

We need paws crossed!

Remember when I lived in the basement and I had bunny neighbors, Lehana and Alvin? Well, I'm sure you remember that Alvin passed away over the summer, so Lehana has been living alone all the time. Mommy has put the word out to her bunny rescue friends that she's looking for a nice, older gentleman for Lehana. About 2 weeks ago someone turned in a sexy 8 yr old male so Lehana was supposed to have a date with him this week. Sadly, Lehana has become ill and stopped eating. Mommy took her to the vet last Wednesday and since then she's been getting sub-Q fluids and being force fed. She has 2 problems...the obvious one is points on her teeth and she'll have to be sedated so those can be filed off. They make it painful to eat so she's only eating her soft veggies. When she was X-rayed...a second problem showed up. She's got a bladder full of sludge and crystals, similar to what a cat gets. All the extra fluids are supposed to be flushing her bladder out, but it's not a guaranteed fix and will be a big problem in the future if we can't clean out her bladder.

Lehana goes to the vet tomorrow for her surgery. The vet will file her teeth and hopefully have some success at flushing out her bladder while she's knocked out. We are all hoping it works, because Lehana needs a husbun! It's taken a long time for an older bunny to become available...and since Lehana is a bunny, and not a cougar, that's important! tee hee

The fat man was here!

Santa found our house! I'm perplexed about my gifts, tho. I got a Barbie Dream House. Sure...it's nice, but even with all my weight loss I still can't fit my butt on the little sofa in there...so I'm not sure how I'm supposed to play with it. I also got an Easy Bake Oven...which doesn't help me much cuz I don't know how to cook and I didn't get any tiny oven mitts to wear when I'm using it.

Ok...Ok...so you're not falling for any of that. Truth is...I got a yummy can of food for breakfast instead of the usual diet kibble, and a really cool catnip toy that so far everyone in the house has played with except for me. I got a Christmas smooch from Mommy and I think later I will get some lap time during a movie.

Hope Santa was good to all of you!

Love, Kinzi

Snug as a bug in a rug!

Honey's back. Her mommy went into the hospital so we are baby-sitting for a while. Everything is going fine (except for all the snoring!) and we finally convinced Honey that Santa would know she's with us and bring her presents here. I'm glad about that cuz that improves my odds for actually getting something!

Kinzi

Finally...back on the computer!

I'm sorry I haven't posted lately. I've been very busy around here. Ya see...there are lots of presents under the tree and I've taken it upon myself to protect them all from the pesky beagles. They like to tear into them to see if there might be dog toys in there. I've also been checking all the gift tags on them and I'm a little worried...none of them are for me!

I know I've been kinda bad. I keep getting on the island in the kitchen and stealing nibbles of food from Sunny. I get yelled at that I'm breaking my diet...but I bet if I was on the biggest loser I'd get extra credit for managing to get my fat @ss up onto the Island in the first place! I don't think that should be a reason for me to not get any presents!

Mommy says I don't need any presents because I already have the world's best bowl collection...and that I don't need a new kitty bed because I spend all day sleeping on the sofa anyway. That's a rip off if I ever heard one! She promised me a new bed of my own as soon as I stopped pooping on my blankie. Now that I've done that, I still don't have a new bed. It's not fair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kinzi

Does honesty count for anything??

Love,

Kinzi

ART! ...ala Kinzi!

Just look at these fancy new socks that Mommy's friend, Rhonda, got for her! They have ME on them! It looks just like me.....from my chubby cheeks right down to my green, googly eyes! It will look even more like me after Mommy wears them around the house and they get covered with actual cat hair. tee hee.

Kinzi

Oh no...Now for sure Santa isn't stopping here...

I got busted today eating Sunny's breakfast. I climbed on the cat tree, jumped to the kitchen table, and then jumped to the island. I thought I could get away with it cuz Mommy was in the shower...but I got so involved with inhaling all the food I didn't even notice when she took this picture! I know all of you are cheering and saying how great it is that I'm able to even do that...but Mommy is NOT happy! She claims it's already hard enough to keep my food separate from all the other cats so I don't eat too much, but if I get so mobile that I can climb anywhere, she won't be able to easily feed the other cats. She said maybe Santa can pick me up Christmas eve and drop me at a new house somewhere...but let's face it, with all the swearing Mommy does watching football plus me climbing on the kitchen island and then Buddy chasing Jillian around...I really think it's a done deal that he isn't stopping here.

Kinzi

Ummm...

Why aren't there any presents for me under here yet???

Kinzi

Happy Thanksgiving!

This is Emma. She's the Queen Pesky Beagle of the house. She's already asleep on the sofa, snoring like a grizzly bear, and we haven't even stuffed ourselves with Tofurkey yet! She missed most of the parade on TV. I had a good spot for watching it...parked right on Mommy's lap.

Since today is the day we're supposed to say what we're thankful for...here's my list:

1. That my daddy got a job in Michigan and was able to move back home.

2. That Mommy has done a good job of starving me so that I could lose a few pounds.

3. That Mommy has been able to refrain from having a nervous breakdown from all her beloved Colts being injured. Her fantasy team is a disaster but she's managing to keep her sanity...for now.

4. That Mommy found great people to adopt some of my friends...like Buster, Starsky, Honey, George, Casey, and my beloved Herbie.

And most of all, I'm thankful for Shelter to Home cuz without them, none of us would be here while we wait for our forever homes.

I gotta go watch football now...

Kinzi

I think Santa is gonna skip our house this year.

We just got done watching the Colts lose to that idiot, Tom Brady. With all the things that came out of Mommy's mouth over the last few hours, I'm certain it has moved her to Santa's naughty list with a black check next to it which means to skip the whole house! Daddy is mad because the Colts were just about to score and win the game in the last minute...and Mommy said "it's about time for Peyton to throw an interception"...and then HE DID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Daddy says she jinxed him but Mommy says that she didn't...that he's just THAT predictable.

I say it's a good thing Daddy made a chocolate run at half time when things weren't looking so good...cuz without that sugar buzz for Mommy, who knows what would have happened when they lost.

Mommy says this just adds one more reason to the long list of why she hates Tom Brady. I need to go lay down now and sing some happy songs to myself to try to get all the bad words I heard today out of my mind. ...and Santa...if you're listening...just remember it wasn't ME who was saying any of that stuff...honest! I think it's Peyton Manning's house you need to skip, not ours!

Kinzi

Mommy goes to the...

I'm just glad she and Daddy don't drag me there! I've seen videos of cats walking on treadmills and I just hope Mommy never gets the idea to have me do that. I get enough exercise climbing the cat tree and jumping on and off the sofa.

I probably could lay down and spell a "C" like this cat did, tho...does that count as a workout??

Kinzi

Are you doing your Friday happy dance yet?

Anyone have any good weekend plans? Mommy is going to paint pottery tonight. I don't have my hopes up on getting a new bowl cuz I heard she plans to paint Frankie a bird bath. Apparently she doesn't think he should be splashing around in a Pyrex casserole lid forever. She's also going to get her nails done. Have any of you tried the Shellac polish?? Mommy says it's awesome cuz your nails get super hard without thick gel or acrylic junk piled on and it looks great for 2 weeks!!! It dries instantly when they put her hand in a box with a light in it. We all love it because Mommy's nails are super long and they feel sooooooooooooo good when they scratch us. Mommy is happy that she doesn't have to paint her nails at home and then walk around with her hands in the air until they dry hoping that dog or cat hair doesn't get stuck on them before they dry. Madeline at "Perfect Ten" in Southgate is her new best friend cuz she does such a good job on her nails.

Buddy finally came out from under Mommy's bed. He still spends most of his time in there or in bed with Mommy...but we did spot him in the kitchen at 3am so he's getting better. He sure is handsome...but Mommy says she still loves me the bestest! :o)

Kinzi

Please keep your fingers crossed that the Colts do well and nobody else gets injured. Mommy's Indiana informant is teasing her that 2 of the injured guys might play this weekend..but we'll believe it when we see it. Winston...you know anything???

Boy...I didn't see that coming!

Today Mommy came home from work like she always does...fed me supper like she always does...and then stuffed me into a cat carrier and made me to go the Ford Road Animal Clinic. There ought to be some sort of rule about that. I didn't even have time to hide under the bed! At first I thought maybe it was a pet store because I didn't see the word VET on the sign...but sure enough...that's what it was.

Once we got there, a very nice lady named Linda (who has a weakness for beautiful black and white cats like me) gave me special lovies and then put me on a scale that said I weigh 17 pounds. That's my lowest ever! Mommy weighed me last week on her scale and it said 17.6. (For the record, for the extra .6 I would prefer to be weighed at home from now on, thank you!) So after the weigh in and the special lovies, Dr. Lapshan came in and checked every inch of me. It was like going through security at the airport! Then he stuck a cold little stick in my keister! Mommy tried to distract me with a treat but who can eat at a time like that??? Sheesh!

My ears were a little dirty. Mommy said she spends so much time keeping my other end clean she must not have noticed my ears. My heart is fine and my big, googly eyes are fine, too. I didn't have to have anything shaved or washed, which was a refreshing change from previous visits. I did get poked for my rabies shot, tho. I know I've said it before, but I'm going to say it again...what are the odds that a rabid squirrel, raccoon, or vampire bat will break into our house and bite me? I'm more likely to get the bird flu if that crazy Frankie snaps at me! Where's my vaccine for THAT?

Dr. Lapshan was happy to hear that I've taken up residence on Mommy's lap now that Quincy is gone. We need to make sure that Mommy stays nice and warm and knows how much we love her...even tho she makes us get things shoved where the sun don't shine and have shots. As much as I complain, I really am glad she keeps my keister clean!

Kinzi

Well..we were TOLD that Buddy is here...

I'm not so sure I believe Mommy got us a new foster cat. I haven't seen him anywhere. I heard Jillian say that he's hiding out in the laundry room cuz he's a scaredy-cat. (tee hee) I don't know what he's afraid of cuz there aren't any obnoxious dogs here and the rest of us are being nice and well behaved. Well...lately Jillian has been trying to play with the 2 old geezer boys but I think she's given up on them playing with her.

Anyway...we'll tell you more about Buddy once we actually get to know him. How's he gonna fall madly in love with me if he never comes upstairs to see me!? Sheesh!

Kinzi

It's about #(%)#( time!!!

Mommy got me a new man! Just so you know, I'm declaring him mine because he looks like me. Jillian will have to fend for herself!

His name is Buddy and he's a 7 year old 4 paw declawed big squishy boy. He's checking out the basement right now but I'm sure he'll soon discover my bedroom! I better go tidy up in there or he'll think I'm a slob.

Kinzi

Special thanks to Alyssa from the Wyandotte pound who had sense enough to send Mommy a text when she saw my handsome new man at another shelter. She pulled him and had him vetted so Mommy wouldn't have to do it.

We have a winner!

After making many lists and looking through pet name books and websites, a name for the bird finally popped into Mommy's head last night.

Mommy has been calling the bird her "little green monster"...and Mommy's favorite real green monster is Herman Munster...who is technically Frankenstein...so the bird is named Frankie. Ya...I know...her method for picking names is somewhat skewed. It's a miracle I ended up with such a cool name!

I tried to get Frankie to play with me and my catnip toys, but he was more interested in splashing in his dish of water and then shaking water all over me.

Kinzi

What's so funny???

I'll tell you what...the Shelter to Home Comedy Night Fundraiser at Portofino's in Wyandotte! It's Friday, November 12th at 8pm. Tickets are $20 each and can be purchased from my Mommy or by contacting info@Sheltertohome.com. If you buy tickets at the door right before the show, you have to remember to tell them you're supporting Shelter to Home or we don't get any of the proceeds.

Last time we had one of these it was very funny and everyone had a good time. What's even better is that this time the smoking ban is in effect so non-smokers don't have to choke while they enjoy the show.

Please, Please PLEEEEEZZZZ tell your friends and co-workers about it and see if you can help us sell some tickets. It's events like this that help Shelter to Home raise the money needed to be able to provide the special care that animals like me need.

Kinzi

What's in a name?

The test results came back and Dixie is a BOY! So...Dixie is out and we're looking for a new name. Something that rhymes with Dixie would be nice because he already thinks his name is Dixie. So far the best thing Mommy and Daddy came up with is Vinnie. If we're going to go totally different, Mommy likes the name Linus because the birdy sure does love being wrapped up in his blankie.

We are open to suggestions if anyone has anything good!

Kinzi

Awww...look at the new baby kitty!

Hey...somethings fishy with this new kitty! First off...I know Mommy would NEVER bring a baby kitty into this house. Second...this black kitty is laying on a light colored blankie and there appears to be no shedding going on. What's that?!?....Ohhhhhhhhhhh...Mommy just informed me this isn't a baby kitty...it's a baby named Kady dressed up like a baby kitty. Boy, say that fast 5 times!

Baby Kitty Kady is the granddaughter of Mommy's friend, Teresa. I would like to thank Kady for dressing up for Halloween so that this year Mommy didn't humiliate ME with a costume!

Happy Halloween, everyone! Now where's my candy!?!?!?

Kinzi

OMG! Hasn't this family suffered enough???

First...we have to endure losing Quincy...then, the fridge died...and now we find out that Mommy's beloved Dallas Clark has an injury and is out for the season. Seriously...what is going on?!?!?!? Mommy just got done crying her eyes out over Quincy...now she has a whole new reason to lay on the floor screaming like a 2 year old having a temper tantrum. Daddy is trying everything he can think of to soothe her pain...he's even going out to get pizza tonight, hoping that will cheer her up a little. It's touch and go around here, people...Mommy could snap at any moment!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kinzi

We will miss you, Bubby

Last night Quincy lost his 2 month battle with *#%)#($*)@(#@!!~! cancer. (Mommy gave me special permission to use bad language in my post today due to special circumstances!) Mommy is a wreck so we might need to order a case of Kleenex to be delivered.

Mommy told me the story of how Quincy got here. He was a foster dog back in 2003 and when Mommy got him, he weighed about 13 pounds and had horrible heartworm. He was skinny because he had hookworms. It wasn't long before they knew they had to adopt him. Quincy has always been the snuggly Momma's boy, so now that he's gone maybe I can finally get my well-deserved lap time! I got some last night cuz I saw Mommy crying so I went to her and told her I was sorry she was so sad so I got lots of lovies. I was a little soggy afterwards but it was worth it.

Things are sad around here, but we're all doing OK. All of you are pet lovers and know what we are going through. Thanks for thinking of us.

Kinzi

We must be the cleanest house on the block!

First it's me getting lots of baths, then Quincy started having to have baths cuz his tumor makes him drool so he's been kinda stinky lately...then Emma had to get her foot washed cuz she stepped in something icky out in the back yard...and now the new bird is even taking baths! The crazy thing is, Mommy puts a dish on the floor full of water and the bird hops right in and starts splashing around. What is up with that???? I swear, I will never understand some of the things that go on around here!!!

Tomorrow the bird goes to the vet. Bloodwork will be taken so we can find out if she's really a she or not!

Kinzi

Jillian got a job!

Mommy worked from home today and Jillian decided that she wanted to be Mommy's assistant. She helped hold all the papers down, make sure Mommy's hands didn't get cold, she made sure the caps to the pens got lots of activity, she sampled Mommy's lunch, and she took a nap cuz she was working soooooooooo hard. We'll just see if Mommy remembers all the help she got when Secretary's Day comes around!

Kinzi

Why didn't we get one???

Mommy went to the pound last night with Rhonda. I know this cuz she came home smelling like all kinds of strange animals. The pesky beagles were on to her immediately!!!!!!!! I don't see any new sexy boy kitties hanging around, so I take it that Mommy came home empty handed. I heard that Rhonda pulled a sexy man, tho. Maybe I'll have to sneak over to her house to check out the newbie! Mommy says we can't get any new fosters because Quincy is so sick...but I'm doing my best to convince her. When Mommy is at work, I'm in the living room trying to teach the new bird to say stuff like "we need more cats"...but so far she's not cooperating. At least all of Mommy's teams did well this weekend so Dixie didn't learn any bad words.

Kinzi

Well...at least it's not a pesky beagle!

It's a Quaker! Mommy and Daddy have adopted a bird from a birdy rescue. They had to get approved and have a home visit and everything, just like when Mommy adopts out dogs. All us kids were on our best behavior....except for Abby who tried to eat the 3 yr old little boy that came along on the home visit. Mommy would have had a hard time explaining that to the police!

These kinds of birds are rumored to be loud...but Mommy says that's what everyone says about beagles, too...and she proves them wrong. The biggest problem is that Quakers can learn to talk and Daddy says that Mommy is going to have to put duct tape over her mouth when we watch football or else the birds first word will be "#@$#&*$!@&%!"

The rescue lady thinks the bird is a girl, but nobody knows for sure so I suspect a vet visit with a blood test is in the near future. The current name is Dixie, but Mommy says if it's really a boy, he shouldn't have to go through life with a girls name. Dixie is probably 6-8 years old and she's had a rough life so far. This is at least the 5th place she's called home, including 2 foster homes. The last home that had her let other birds beat her up and she's missing a few toes. She gets around OK but her cage has a few flat perches so she can rest if her feet get tired. She's settling in fine and already had some food and played with her bell toy.

Kinzi

Mommy also says I have to say "GO SPARTANS!!!"...even tho I don't even know what that means.

Someone didn't take their happy pills....

This is Sunny...otherwise know as the "cranky old geezer". Some of you may remember him from the Wyandotte pound when Mommy pulled him as a foster in January 2008. He was a senior, but alot of people were interested in him. Three people came to the house to meet him but he never got adopted. Mommy says it's because of the same face he's making in this photo! That's the reason he got adopted by Mommy and Daddy. He lived in Tennessee with Daddy and now that he's back, he's crankier than ever. He loved being the only cat for a year. He's also learned to be very demanding with his canned food and bowls of water in the sink. Daddy clearly spoiled him!!

Mommy says we're getting a surprise tomorrow...we don't know what it is but I'll be sure to write all about it when it happens!

Kinzi

Where's the rubber ducky?

Mommy is home. Everyone got hugs and kisses upon her return...I got a bath! Speaking of baths...rumor has it my buddy in Indiana, Winston Beagle, is getting lots of baths these days. Guess he was getting in trouble digging in the garden and wound up with a case of ringworm. EWWWWWWWWWWWW.....Cooties!!!!!!!!!! Sorry to hear that, Winston, but for once I take comfort in knowing someone is getting more baths than I am!

What the heck is up with those Colts, Winston? The bad language is flying around here! I'm spending most Sundays hiding under the bed with my paws over my ears. And if that's not bad enough, Mommy was also mad that Kurt Warner spent the first episode of Dancing with the Stars showing off his SEVEN kids and kissing his wife. Mommy has officially given him up!! Those of you who know her are aware of just now much Mommy LOVES kids...so knowing Kurt has seven of them pushed her over the edge. She didn't even make it to watching the 2nd episode of the show! Sorry, Kurt.

Kinzi

I can't believe we've all survived this long...

Mommy went to Florida to see Grandma after she had surgery. She's been gone since Sunday and Daddy is in charge of taking care of all of us. Mommy had to leave him detailed instructions on who gets what medications and all that stuff...since the dogs here are medical disasters. At least he's remembering to feed me, which is the most important thing, for sure! I was hoping I could con him into ordering some pizza or maybe giving me one of those stinky sardines the dogs get...but no such luck.

Kinzi

That's IT! I QUIT!!!!!!

Some of you know that Mommy made a sign for my cage that says "NO FAT JOKES...a year ago I weighed 27 pounds and now I weigh 17". Well...apparently there are alot of humans who can't read so they still point and laugh and call me fat. As much as Mommy jumps in and snarls at them and lectures them about my progress and how a fat cat isn't funny...today at Petco, some feral child asked if I was a MUTANT! This happened right around the same time a lady asked if Shelter to Home could take her 2 leftover beagle puppies that she wasn't able to sell. I thought Mommy was going to blow a gasket!!! And I'm sure glad she said no cuz the last thing we need are baby beagles running around our house. I have a hard enough time defending my room against the old geezer beagles we already have!!!!

Kinzi

Another public appearance?????

Geez...isn't having this blog enough? Do I really have to go spend my Saturday sitting in a cage at Petco while people point at me and say thing about how chubby I am? Won't someone pleeeeze adopt me and put an end to this? Saturdays are for watching Football, anyway...not sitting at Petco!

Kinzi

PS...Go Buckeyes! (Mommy made me say that!)

Oh the shame...

This is Elliott. He had to go to the vet today for his annual shots and rumor has it that he got so upset he pooped right on the table during his exam! He won't be able to pull off his "tough guy" routine around here anymore of word of that gets out. Oops...it's on my blog so I guess the word is out! haha

Notice the giant dog behind Elliott in the photo? That's a giant "Quincy" that Mommy painted at the pottery place. I still think the bowl with my face on it is better!

Kinzi

Free cat with the purchase of a bowl!

Mommy has totally lost her marbles now. She's saying if someone pays $115 for this bowl, they get me free with their purchase. How about we let someone just buy the bowl and then we use the money to buy more snacks and catnip toys! How about that??? Oh well...since nobody is gonna pay that much for a bowl Mommy painted, it looks like I've got myself a new food bowl for my collection.

Yesterday I was forced to spend the day outside at the Paws in the Park adoption event. Lots of my friends came to visit me and lots of people I don't even know talked to me. I hope the folks at PAWS made lots of money to help build their spay/neuter clinic.

Kinzi

Quick...call the Fire Department...

I thought I was being all cute and atheletic so I climbed this stupid cat tree...now I'm stuck up here. So...call the Fire Department to come get me down (& tell them to send the cute Firemen!!). Ugh...how embarassing. Naturally Mommy was right there with the camera, as always!

Kinzi

What did you call me???

Mommy called me a new word...instead of the usual stuff like Chubster, Chubba-wubba, KK, or wiggle-butt...she called me "available". That doesn't sound much like a term of endearment to me! I think that means she's trying to get rid of me! Then she says I have to go to some event this weekend called "Paws in the Park". I'm all for making public appearances for my adoring fans...but I'm not sure what Mommy is up to with all this "available" business. What exactly is it that I'm available for? Dinner dates???? Jillian says it means I'm available for adoption! I hope there's a family out there who agrees that Fat Bottom Girls make the rockin' world go round!

Kinzi

Smile...and the whole world smiles with you!

Yes, I know...I'm letting another pesky beagle be on my blog. This is Quincy...otherwise known as "Momma's Boy, Bubby-Wubby, or the Quinster". It's no secret that he's Mommy's favorite around here. You'd think the dog walks on water or something. Even Mommy's friends are in love with him and go on and on about his big, soft ears. Blah blah blah! My whole body is big and soft...what about ME!!!!!!!!!!!

There's a reason I'm being nice and letting him be on my blog. We found out recently that Quincy has an aggressive type of cancer. It showed up out of nowhere and blindsided all of us. Mommy has gone in to panic mode and is trying all the stuff listed in some book called "the Dog Cancer Survival Guide", hoping it slows down or shrinks Quincy's tumor. She's giving him all sorts of supplements and really good stuff to eat like cottage cheese, blueberries, and sardines! What do I get??? You guessed it...plain 'ol hypoallergenic kibble. Whoop-di-do!

Anyway...so that's the reason there isn't a new pesky beagle foster dog here. Mommy is avoiding Petfinder so she's not tempted. She says Quincy is her current "special needs" pup. I'm glad about that because the fewer dogs to break into my room, the better!

Kinzi

Oh nooooo.......

Well...football season isn't off to a good start. Mommy's beloved Colts got beat up pretty badly today. Good thing it wasn't on TV so we didn't have to witness the horror with our own eyes! How about you, Winston...how bad was it at your house?

Kinzi

Drumroll please......

Mommy hauled me into the bathroom today and forced me to get on the scale. I put up a good fight and I think my toenails even tore a hole in the shirt she was wearing. (Sorry, Mommy!) Anyway...after all my kicking and screaming, it turned out to not be so bad! The scale says I'm down to 17.6 pounds! I don't know what Mommy's always screaming about in the mornings. She is always in the bathroom yelling that the #*%Y#$)%^@ scale is a piece of %#&@!!!! Today the scale seemed to be in a very good mood...for a change! Maybe Mommy is just warming up her swearing skills for when football starts.

Kinzi

Where oh where has my Starsky gone???

What? He's adopted??? Seriously? He just got here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You mean that nice family that was here visiting us kidnapped him right out from under my nose and I didn't even notice??? Boy...they're good!! I hope Starsky is happy in his new home. I guess Jillian and I will have to go back to playing "Go Fish" to pass the time since we can't stalk Starsky anymore. Ho Hum...

Kinzi

What a polite little man!

Now I can handle this! A man who knows how to stay on his side of the sofa! Cooper isn't using me for a pillow and he's not wiping his doggy snots on my behind. Mommy should foster more little dogs cuz clearly they have better manners than those pesky beagles. ...although, I was thinking...Cooper is blind. Perhaps if he could see how beautiful I am, he'd also be hogging my part of the sofa. Hmmm...

Mommy came home last night smelling like Honey. At first I was worried that she'd only been to camp for a few days and was moving back in, but I found out that Mommy had just taken her to the vet to get her stitches out and then she went right back to her new home. Whew...talk about an anxiety attack! Things just calmed down around here! Now we're back to every dog in the house being over 10 years old and calm! Let's keep it that way!

Kinzi

Don't let the door hit you on the @$$ on the way out!

Er...I mean Woo Hoo!!!!!!!! Honey got adopted yesterday! She and her stupid giant bowl are OUTTA HERE! I can now resume my spot on Mommy's lap without getting pushed off, having dog snot on my keister, or having to move over so there is room for anyone else. So...until Mommy pulls another pesky beagle from the pound, I'm back in charge around here.

Honey got a GREAT home. Her new mom is an older lady who recently lost her 18 year old beagle to cancer. She also knows all about mammary tumors and doggy allergies so she's prepared to deal with Honey's health issues. I saw Mommy crying about her leaving, but the fact is that if Mommy keeps everyone she's in love with, there won't be any room to save anybody new.

The little blind guy, Cooper, is coming for the weekend. I better get in some quality lap time while it's available.

Kinzi

This is a joke, right?

So a few weeks ago Mommy went to paint food bowls for me and that pesky beagle, Honey. CLEARLY there has been some sort of a mistake. Was my bowl made out of pottery???...or out of Shrinky-Dink material?? I know this can't be right!!!!!!!!

Mommy says that all the diet books say you should eat your meals off smaller plates so you get the illusion of having a bigger meal than you're really getting. If she thinks that this tiny bowl is going to disguise the fact that she's slowly starving me to death, she's got another thing coming!!!!!!!!!! It may be time for me to place another complaint to the ASPCA...although they never return my calls...

Kinzi

Now about this egg recall issue...

I've told you all that Mommy is silly and that she comes up with some ridiculous ideas. You want to hear her newest one? Well...you know how all these eggs are getting recalled because they're dangerous if you eat them? Mommy laughs at stuff like this cuz she doesn't eat eggs...but...her idea is that Cadbury should bring back the Cadbury chocolate egg and everyone should eat those instead!!!!!!!!!!! She says that as far as she knows, nobody ever got salmonella or any other kind of cooties from eating that kind of egg. She may be on to something here...but I don't think they'd make a very good omelet.

Kinzi

Apparently I type too slow!

Jillian wanted to help me do today's blog entry, but she got sleepy waiting for me to decide what to write about and took a nap. She lays here all the time and pesters Mommy and Daddy when they use the computer. She spent most of today on the bed sleeping so I don't know why she needs ANOTHER nap. She says it's hard work being so cute all the time. I don't get that...cuz I find it quite easy to be adorable all the time!

Kinzi

OMG! How could I forget to tell you????

STARSKY IS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Isn't he dreamy??? He came into my room and slept in the cat tree for a while. Jillian was soooooooooo jealous! I told her that Starsky is a big boy and there's enough of him for us to share.

I guess with all the drama of Honey's surgery I forgot to tell you he was here! It's so unlike me to be more concerned about Honey than my own love life. What the heck is wrong with me these days? Honey is fine by the way...she's not even acting like she has 5 huge gashes on her stomach. Then again, I think even if she had all four legs in casts she'd still find a way to follow Mommy around the house and jump in the bed.

Kinzi

one, two, three, four, FIVE little tumors!

Honey had her surgery today and she's doing great. The vet found an extra one so she had a total of five more removed. Mommy called the vet to check on her and the lady who answered the phone said "She's fine...can't you hear her? Couldn't you hear her before you even called???" ..so I guess that means Honey was doing a wee bit of howling. We knew she didn't like to be crated...but I guess if you don't let her eat breakfast AND you crate her AND make her spend a day away from her beloved Mommy...AND you do surgery on her...well, of course she's going to howl all day. We know to expect it from Honey around here. Daddy complains all the time that Honey whines if Mommy goes anywhere.

One interesting thing that happened today was that someone broke into my room and made a big mess. Honey is always getting blamed for it, but she wasn't even here today so obviously it wasn't her! I was taking a nap on the sofa so I didn't see who did it, otherwise you know me, I'd be the first one to be naming names and pointing paws! I think we need a video surveillance camera!

Kinzi

Everyone grab your pencils!

Let's play CONNECT THE DOTS on Honey's belly! Mommy circled the tumors she found and Honey looks pretty silly! Good thing for her it's not the weekend she needed to be in her bikini! Actually, when I first saw Honey's belly, I thought Mommy had been jotting down football plays from all the games she watched last weekend...but then I remembered that Honey is having her surgery. I did think it was kind of weird that Mommy would use Honey's belly instead of paper if she were going to do something like that...but Mommy has been known to do some silly stuff! At least it's still just pre-season. The bad language and throwing stuff at the TV hasn't started yet!

I guess there's a delay in me getting my new food bowl. Mommy said that Honey's bowl had to stay at the pottery place to get another coat of glaze put on. The only glaze I know about goes on donuts, not pottery, so that really makes no sense to me. All I know is that I hafta wait until next weekend to get my bowl just cuz Honey has to wait for hers. Hmph...!

Kinzi

Tuesday is the big day!!!

I overheard Mommy say something about snagging a new kitty from the pound tomorrow! I sure hope it's that big, chunky monkey, Starsky! Everyone keep your paws crossed! Tomorrow is also when Mommy goes to pick up the food bowls she painted last week...I sure hope mine is nice and big like the one Emma has!

Kinzi

PS...I'm being nice to Honey this week 'cuz she goes on Wednesday to get 4 more mammary tumors removed. Poor kid...I know I've had a rough year with lots of baths and stuff...but I never had to have my belly cut open...and she's going to have had it done TWICE! Yikes! So...ummm...if anyone wants to send Honey a basket of Get Well cookies, I'll make sure she gets them!!!

It's the Double-Mint twins!

Ok so maybe it's more like the Double-Catnip twins...but you gotta admit, they do look alike. Sunny is on the left, Binky on the right. Both guys love laying on the island but they do NOT like each other...as is sort of obvious as both of them are on it, but staying as far away from each other as they can without falling off. Sunny is 15...he was from the Wyandotte pound back in 2008 and was apparently so evil to anyone who came to see him that he got to stay here forever. He was in Tennessee living with Daddy. Now he's home and all he does is complain all day long...demanding fresh, cold water in the bowl, canned food, to be brushed...Mommy says if cats can be Metro-Sexuals that Sunny definitely is one!

As for Binky, he's looking for a new home and would prefer one without a crabby old cat who refuses to play. He really misses Casey. Those two use to tear it up around here. We used to hear the running and then the thud as one got thrown to the ground. Now all we hear are the sounds of Sunny screaming like a girl if Binky even thinks about chasing him.

Boys are so dumb!

Kinzi

We lost a local celebrity today.

Remember when I lived downstairs and I had 2 bunnies for neighbors? Well, Alvin went to the Rainbow Bridge today. Recently his potty habits had gotten so bad that Mommy said he was a bigger mess than I ever was! (that's pretty bad!) The vet checked him out and said that he had bad arthritis in his back legs and he wasn't able to lift his rear end high enough to go potty without making a big mess. He was 7 1/2 years old which is pretty good for a bunny. He'd been living here since 2004. Rumor has it that he's bitten alot of pesky beagles over the years so he was kind of my hero.

We call him our local celebrity because this photo was featured in a book called "Hopeful Tails" back in 2007. That year Mommy bought a copy for just about everyone on her Christmas list.

Too bad I wasn't here in 2007 cuz I could have filled a book like that just with cute pictures of me! There could have been an entire chapter about my bowl collection. We are all very sad that Alvin is gone, but Jillian and I are just waiting for Lehana to hog the computer so she can go on Petfinder and look for a new husbun. I'm sure she's going to miss having someone to snuggle with and groom behind her ears.

Kinzi

Look at this dumb dog...

I would just like to point out that while I was, once again, caught laying on the sofa....look who's using my backside for a pillow! Apparently she forgot that we're supposed to be at war! I am SOOOOOOO not inviting her to my party!

Kinzi

PS...Today is Josh's birthday. He used to work with Mommy but now he lives in Florida and plays golf all day. Mommy says she doesn't know why anyone would want to spend every waking moment playing golf, but then she says his girlfriend is a vet so he must have some smarts in that head of his! Anyway, Happy Birthday, Josh! Oh..and have you seen Honey? ...She ain't nothin' but a hound dog...crying all the time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Somebody looks happy!

Doesn't Casey look like he's having a great time at his new house?? I see TWO catnip toys there...and a cute gray kitty watching him. That must be his new sister, Opal. I'm sure glad he's being a good boy and fitting in well. I miss him cuz he was so handsome...but knowing Mommy...it won't take her long to snag another kitty for me and Jillian to fall in love with.

Now..down to important business. Mommy says she's willing to have a party for my one year anniversary of getting sprung from the pound...but she needs feedback from the folks who would like to come so she knows when is a good day to have it. She's trying to figure out what time of day or what day is the best...so feel free to send her an email if you have any suggestions or preferences! I don't know why I'm even excited. I know there will be cake...but I also know that she won't be letting me have any of it! What the heck kind of party is it when the guest of honor can't even eat her own cake? "Happy Anniversary, Kinzi! Here's some kibble!" Pa-leeeze!

Kinzi

Look how BIG this bowl is!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is Emma's bowl...she's one of those pesky beagles. Notice that it's almost big enough for me to take a bath in...Awwwwwwww crap...I shouldn't have said the B word...now Mommy's gonna want to give me one.

Tomorrow is pottery painting day for Mommy and her friend, Rhonda. You remember Rhonda?? She and her daughter, Sara, are the ones that kidnapped my sweet Loki so he never came to live here. Anyway...I'm really hoping I get a new bowl...maybe even one as big as this. Although I'd be even more depressed over dinner if my few pieces of kibble didn't even cover the bottom of the bowl. At least when I get dinner in my tiny bowls it gives the optical illusion of being a decent sized meal. ...seriously...when is someone willing to feed me going to adopt me??????

Kinzi

Alright...who ordered the Aerial photo?

Well...at least my butt is shrinking...although at a disproportionate rate compared to the rest of me. I better lay off the Thigh-Master for a while until my belly catches up!

Kinzi

Is it Friday yet???

We all need a vacation! First, while Mommy and Daddy were camping, the water pump in the camper broke. Then when they got home yesterday, they found Abby, one of the beagles, not doing well at all. She was really sick and had a fever. Today she's fine...so we all figure she was just trying to sucker Daddy out of more cookies. Another bad thing that happened when they got home last night...the computer had another virus! I swear I wasn't on-line shopping for boy kitties while they were gone...really I wasn't! I bet it was that Honey...she was probably shopping for snacks and gear she can use to break into my room.

So Abby is fine, Daddy took the water pump out of the camper and will get a new one, and my computer is working again. Life is good here!

Kinzi

PS...rumor has it that Mommy is going to paint pottery this weekend!!!! Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I hope I get a new bowl!

Ok Mommy...GO SHOPPING!

Tonight Casey was adopted! I hope, for his sake, that his new family has a bigger kitchen table than we do cuz he barely fit on the one here! His new mommy is a former vet tech so he'll be in good hands if he ever gets sick. Binky is really going to miss him...but now maybe we can get a new man around here!!!!!

Kinzi

Poor Honey!

Honey, my enemy, went to the vet tonight. Unfortunately, she's got a couple new mammary tumors that have popped up and need to be removed. She had 3 big tumors when Mommy pulled her from the pound, but now that her mammary tissue is shrinking because of her spay, 4 tiny ones are now showing under the skin. She's going to have to have surgery and get her belly all cut up again. She'll come home looking like Frankenbeagle.

Even tho she's a pesky beagle and she breaks into my room alot, I don't want her to be sick! We may have to set up a lemonade stand in the front yard as a fundraiser for Honey's surgery. Who's thirsty????

Kinzi

Sigh...

Is this really necessary? The whole world knows I'm on a diet...but do we need photographic evidence?

As if this wasn't bad enough...I also got my backside shaved, a bath, and a big poke in the but with a needle!!!!!!!!! Apparently the Dr. thinks maybe I have food allergies and that might be why my personal hygiene isn't the greatest. It looks like there's a new food in my future. I saw the bag...it doesn't say anything about fresh fish or turkey or anything I know I like! Plus...it's dry kibble!!!!!!!!!!! I've never had dry food since I got to this house...I've worked hard on my diet and now my reward is icky kibble?

Mommy says it won't do me any good to run away from home because anyone who loves me would take care of me and also make me eat the icky kibble. Is that true??? How did Garfield get lucky enough to have an owner who gives him lasagna???

Kinzi

Boy..he is handsome!

This is Starsky...currently at the Wyandotte Animal Shelter waiting for a home. He's declawed, a little older...and a chunky monkey just like me! He'd fit in great around here. OK someone needs to get adopted out of here so we have room! Jillian is sitting here helping me shop for men and she agrees that Binky and Casey are no fun...so she's voting for a new man, too!

I heard Mommy say something about me having a bath today...so I need to go hide under the dresser in my room until the coast is clear.

Kinzi

Art fair schmart fair!

Hmph! Pottery Creations is closed because they have a booth set up at the Ann Arbor art fair this weekend...so nobody around here is getting any new fancy bowl anytime soon. DRAT!

By the way...I hope everyone is OK after that ridiculous storm that blew through here. Mommy & Daddy were out and I saw a couple of the dogs piddle on the floor cuz they were so scared. Once again I have to say...I don't think a cat would ever do that! Bad doggies!!!

There's a Petco adoption event tomorrow. Mommy's gonna take some of the cats and try to find them a new home. I hope she does...cuz we need some new faces around here! Casey and Binky spend all day chasing each other around and they don't even notice me! Men!

Kinzi

Security Breach!

Kinzi here. Apparently I need to change the password to log into my blog. As if the beagles invading my room and stealing my food and toys isn't bad enough...now my own personal website has been broken into. When will it end????

As for being called Sushi Breath...well...the way I look at it, Sushi is very expensive which means if Mommy is feeding it to me, I'm very special and she feels I'm worth it. Honey, on the other hand, has nothing to brag about but Kibble Breath.

As for a new bowl, just about everyone here has a bowl of their own that Mommy made so I suppose Honey can have one. But...it has been a very long time since I got a new one! I overheard Mommy & Daddy talking the other day and it sounds like it will soon be time to dig out the old football themed plate I had to eat off of on weekends last year. I suspect that means it's also about time for Mommy to start swearing at the TV when things don't go so well. Daddy is here now, too...does that mean twice the screaming? Maybe I better hope to get adopted before it gets too crazy around here! I know Mommy is still heartbroken about the fact that Kurt Warner won't be playing this year. I know just how she feels...I still miss my Herbie.

Kinzi

ROTFLMAO???? Me too!

I guess several of you thought me calling Kinzi Sushi Breath was pretty funny! I thought about it...and got to giggling myself...then I went a little overboard and Mommy snagged this picture of me! It's a little embarrassing...but hey...at least you can tell I don't have any cavities!

Honey

PS...Kinzi isn't laughing!

Paybacks are a B*tch!

Hi everyone! This is Honey...the foster dog that Kinzi seems to enjoy tattling on. She's on the sofa (again!) so I snuck down here and logged into her blog. She has some nerve asking if I was raised in a barn! Look at how she used to look before Mommy got her cleaned up. She looked like she'd been rolling around in the dirt with some pigs or something! I may sit on the kitchen table, but I don't leave any stains behind after I get off!

And she wants to know how I get on the kitchen table? I'll tell you...I'm quite a jumper! I may have short, stubby, Basset Hound legs but I can out jump any dog in the neighborhood! Kinzi is gonna have to drop a few more pounds before she can haul her lard butt up on anything more than a foot tall.

So I'll be monitoring this blog to make sure she's not snitching on me anymore and if she does...it will be WAR!!!

Woof!

Honey (or Miss Honey-Pie as my mommy likes to call me)

PS...hey Kinzi...rumor has it that Mommy is going to paint pottery this Friday...and the new bowl will be for MEEEEEEEEEEE! Take THAT, Sushi breath! Maybe if you apologize to me...I'll tell her to make one for you, too.

Was she raised in a barn???

Mommy and Daddy went camping and Honey was lucky enough to go along...and just look at how she behaved! Honestly!!!! What kind of hooligan sits on the dining room table??? (...and how did she do it cuz frankly, I suspect the snacks are better up there and I'd like to know how to do it myself!)

Kinzi

My goodness...who's the drug addict???

Mommy is going to have to have the kitchen remodeled so there's more counter space for all the drugs that Binky brought home from the vet today. He's got two bottles of some fancy oral anti-biotic, 4 syringes of liquid pain meds, and a huge bottle of kitty Listerine that Mommy somehow has to try to squirt into his mouth. (hahaha good luck with that, Mom!)

Binky had to have one tooth removed, but almost all his other teeth have gingivitis. Didn't that boy ever brush or floss??? Apparently it's a condition where your gums are allergic to your teeth or something goofy like that...and he'll have to be adopted by a family who will make sure he always gets a dental cleaning when he needs one. I sure hope there's a family out there who will do that for him!

In the meantime, I'll make sure he's not eating any sugary treats. He is always begging from Mommy and Daddy for whatever they are eating...he just won't give up! His former family must have let him eat whatever he wanted. Hey...I wonder if Binky knows how to order a pizza.... "Hey Binky! Come here. I wanna talk to you..............."

HELP! We are STARVING!!!!!!!!!!!!

NO FAIR! Tomorrow is Binky's surgery so he's not allowed to eat tonight. That's his problem, right??? Well, apparently NOT! Mommy has taken away ALL of the food bowls so everyone is starving. I realize that misery loves company, but I think this is over-doing it just a bit, don't you???

Kinzi

We have a repeat customer!

Binky has returned. If you remember, he got adopted last October. He has a big, icky, sore in his mouth and his family isn't able to afford the surgery he needs. He has a cracked tooth and the infection has caused some sort of bump to form on his gums. He fusses at it alot so we know it bothers him.

He was grumpy when he first got here, but he really likes Daddy and Casey, so he's in a better mood since he made some friends. He's a mess...Mommy keeps trying to brush him out but he hates it and runs off after about two strokes with the brush. He's nuts if you ask me! I'd let Mommy brush me till I'm bald! It feels sooooooooooooo good!

Kinzi

Another home invasion!

Two of the pesky beagles have figured out how to break into my room again. Mommy had to make the door even smaller so now I have to crunch myself wayyyyyyyyyyy down low to fit through the tiny hole. It's like being one of those freaky contortionist people who can bend over backwards and tie themselves into a pretzel shape. I'm thinking I could audition on America's Got Talent...I'm way more talented than some of the freaks they let on that show! I can inhale a can of food, smack a beagle upside the head, and fit into a tiny hole all at the same time! I bet people would call in and vote for me! Just imagine all the food and catnip I could buy with all that money!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kinzi

Ahhh fresh air!

Finally the temps have dropped and we can open up the windows for some fresh air. Of course around here that also means that we can hear all the birds chirping outside and Hope, the cockatiel, likes to answer them back early in the morning. Guess nobody is sleeping in around here until we turn the AC back on.

Tonight Mommy is going to see Jessica's new house. Jessica is our baby-sitter and the one who makes the awesome clay figures. I heard that there might be some times when Mommy and Daddy go away that the dogs and I will have to go camp out at Jessica's for the weekend...so I hope it's a nice big house with a big sofa for me to lay on all day when I'm over there!

Kinzi

Shake, Rattle, and Roll!

So did anyone else feel the earthquake last week?? Mommy was at work when it happened and she felt it. She said to her coworkers that she thought it was an earthquake and everyone except for a guy named Ron thought she was bonkers.

I'd like to point out that Michigan is normally a safe place to be to avoid natural disasters like hurricanes, tornadoes, and earthquakes...but this past week we had 2 of the three!!! YIKES! During the tornado warning, Mommy and Daddy made all of us go into the basement. I remembered when I had to live down there full time and thought maybe that was what was going on again so I high-tailed it right back up the stairs again...all 13 of them!!! Whew...that's enough exercise for this week...I'm still resting on the sofa.

Kinzi

MOMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!

Honey's butt is on my side!!!!!!!!!!

You know, contrary to what all these pictures may indicate, I do more than just lay on the sofa all day. Honest I do!!!

Kinzi

Sundays are for napping!

Ya...Mommy caught me taking a cat nap on the sofa. It was awesome! I had the whole thing to myself...no dogs were trying to use me as a pillow or anything. The fan was blowing on me and Mommy was watching golf and hoping that some old geezer named Davis Love III would win. He didn't win, but Mommy was just happy that she got to see him for a few minutes. I guess some hottie with an Irish accent won. Mommy wasn't too sad about that! What's really funny is that mommy absolutely despises golf...yet she watched it for like 4 hours today. I think she got too much sun and it affected her brain.

Kinzi

Brace yourselves!

Today is the last day of decent weather...now we cook for the next week. I'm hoping Mommy isn't too cheap to turn the AC on...cuz it's gonna get kind of crowded in front of the fan if she doesn't!

The only one happy around here is my roomie, Mildred. Then again...she's a box turtle and they love the heat. She's even got lamps in her pen to purposely make it hot in there. She's NUTS!

Stay cool, everyone!

Kinzi

Who's your daddy???

I know who MY daddy is...and he just came home to live with us full time! Most of you don't know that he has been living in Tennessee for the last year and a half because of his job... but he recently got a job with Ford and can now move back to Michigan and actually live with us again. He got home late last night and he and Mommy have spent the day trying to cram all his stuff back into the house. He sure did accumulate alot of things while he was down there.

Anyway...Daddy is home...that's 2 extra hands available to give all us fur-kids some daily lovin! Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mommy is happy she won't have to cut the grass or kill spiders anymore, too!

Kinzi

Ummm...can I get some help here???

Ahem...excuse me...could someone please pull me out of this crater in the couch?

Clearly this dumb dog isn't going to offer any help. She's acting like she can't even see me here..stuck in this obscene position! Oh wait...what's that?? Now she's offering to help me if I give her half my dinner for a week! Now I know why girl dogs are called the B word! Sheesh! ...and don't even get me started on Mom...who's got time to snap this picture but not to help me! Good thing Casey wasn't around to see this! Hopefully he doesn't read my blog!

Kinzi

I've got Saturday Night Fever!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, what I really have is the opposite of that. It's Saturday and nobody is coming over, Mommy went shopping and then planted some flowers (in between murdering mosquitoes) and then she watched a movie she's already seen 500 times. We need some action around here! Maybe Honey will break something or get into trouble...that's always good for some excitement. tee hee

Maybelle the kitty had her surgery this week and she's doing very well! Thanks again to everyone who donated.

Hope all of you are having a better Saturday night than we are.

Kinzi

I'm moving to Alaska!

The air conditioner here is dead so I have to spend all day laying belly up in front of the floor fan. Mommy has to call a repair man to come look at it. There goes more of my catnip fund out the door. I told Mommy to get a firstgiving page to help the A/C with it's surgery but she said that's not allowed. Too bad!

Casey finally came out of the basement...he sure is a snuggle-butt. He's hogging the sofa and Mommy's lap!

Kinzi

FINALLY!

Mommy got me Pacey (but she changed his name to Casey)!! He hasn't been out much, tho...but I did see him take a snooze on Mommy's lap before he disappeared again. I think he's camped out in the laundry room where the dogs can't go. He ran by me without snarling or anything so I think that's a good sign! I will keep you posted.

Kinzi

AMAZING!!!!!!!

I can't believe the response to Maybelle's plea for help...and in just 24 hours! WOW...way to go everyone!!!

As promised...here's the video Mommy took of me yesterday. Sorry it's crappy, but Mommy used her "$#%!&%^$# new phone" as she calls it. Enjoy!

Kinzi
