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.

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...

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.

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.

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...!

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!

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!
