We are very sorry that we haven’t posted for a squillion days. Mommy types for us and she has been LAZY! It is so hard to get good help these days. Thank you to everyone who came back to check on us!
We have been keeping busy by playing Thundering Herd of Elephants (THoE). Kesey wanted to chase me so much yesterday that he used his nose as a pry bar. I was sitting on Mommy’s lap helping her watch the morning news (we like to have special girl time together in the mornings), and Kesey started poking me with his nose. I didn’t move because he can’t scare me with his nose! So then he started trying to pry me off Mommy’s lap with his nose. The nerve! I like to play THoE sometimes, but I was busy! Mommy time is important!

Mommy has been making salads every day. That means we (Tiki & I) get lettuce every day! Hooray!! We will hop up on the counter and help ourselves if we do not get our lettuce! Lettuce! LETTUCE!! When Mommy brings home the groceries, we ignore everything but the lettuce! We try to steal it out of the bag. Mommy thinks we might be part bunny. What do you think?
Kesey
Lettuce is yucky. It is a vegetable.
These kitties are getting on my nerves. I try to chase them and sometimes they just sit and look at me. So I poke them. Pry bar nose didn’t even work. How do you chase a kitty that won’t move? I think we should play THoE whenever I am awake. They will only play it 5 or 9 or 25 times a day. Not nearly enough!
I have a question. I chase my kitties at full speed up and down the stairs. One flight is even open stairs. I’m still pretty spry at 11 if I do say so myself. But, a couple of times lately I have stumbled when trying to jump up into Mommy’s SUV. Has this happened to any of you doggies out there? Usually it’s easy, but sometimes it feels hard to jump that high.

Kesey,
You might want to have your Mommy get your back checked the next time you go to the vet. You could have a swollen disc or a torn muscle. Since I am so small, my parents give me treats that have glucosamine in them for healthy joints and hips. My favorites are the Zuke’s Hip Action.

Kesey wasn’t sure if he liked the Zuke’s treats at first, but Mommy pretended she was eating it, so he tried it, and now he likes them. Kesey thinks any food (except vegetables) is better if a bean pretends they are eating it. It can get pretty silly.

You can EVEN jump into your mommy’s lap? If I tried that, I think I would kill her. Max and I back up to mommy and daddy, and sit our rear on their lap. They usually push us away, but we can hear them snickering behind us, so we know they really do like it. Max even tries to do it when they are standing, he is such a dumb puppy!

I missed you all! I think I might try eating some lettuce. It sounds like it could be a little bit delicious.

We like red leaf lettuce the best.

My favorite human vegetable is celery. Yum! I also enjoyed the plums from a plum tart once. The female was NOT happy about that. BTW, I’d like to tell you that my hilariously funny book, The World Is Your Litter Box, is in bookstores now and is also available on Amazon. The book is cleverly disguised as a cute cat book so humans will buy it, but is, in fact, a how-to manual FOR cats. Check it out on my website, http://www.theworldisyourlitterbox.com.

Dear Kesey, Our Vet says what Chance’s Vet says, if you aren’t yelping when you jump, you probably aren’t hurting when you jump.
As for lettuce…you can have my share too!

Hi Riley, Tiki and Kesey! I didn’t know kitties liked lettuce! My three are so fussy. I’m glad everything is ok.
I checked in a few times. I wish us beans didn’t have to get so busy.
Kesey, I hope you are not hurty. I’m not too limber myself these days.
I hope you all have a really super week!
Hugs and Smoochies,

archi's mum
Kesey, my O’Reilly was having some troubles and his vet said he could have an adult buffered aspirin a day and to give him glucosamine. It helped him A TON! If it’s joint stuff glucosamine is great and it could be that. But if your mum can afford to have you checked out you can know for sure. Its always good to let your Mum and Dad help you into the car too if you’re having a hard time. I do that for O’Reilly now so he doesn’t hurt himself. He has a hard time getting up and sitting and he’s a puppy! So sometimes it’s not just age.
thank you for your kind words about Archi.

If I were mom I’d be offended, you have to be pretty bad for a cat to call YOU lazy!!!!
That is funny about the lettuce. Growing up our dog loved lettuce and would expect to get the core. My cat won’t look at it, but he enjoys a variety of fruits and veggies.
