Sleepy Kitty

I am working from home today and my little Tumble decided to take a nap. So, here I am trying to quietly work on getting my PCS reports finished. LOL! 

Our Bo

It's been seven years since you crossed over to Rainbow Bridge. We still miss seeing you run the backyard. Our perimeter dog. Our protector. 💗

Happy International Cat Day!

To all the people out there that have these little hairballs, I mean furballs, to care for and cherish - Happy International Cat Day!! Ours are all rescues, the newest being our little gray/orange tabby, Tumble. 

International Cat Day is a celebration which takes place on 8 August of every year. It was created in 2002 by the International Fund for Animal Welfare. It is a day to raise awareness for cats and learn about ways to help and protect them.

The Happenings ...

Well, as you can see, I went back and snagged my posts out of draft to update. LOL! I don't know why I don't just post them. 😜

The last several weeks have been hectic for me and my injury to my forearm has not been a joke. I am still wearing a brace half the day and the muscles and tendons get fatigued so easily. It really makes it difficult to type and working has definitely been a chore. I mean, I am an administrative assistant and that is what I do the majority of my day. LOL! 

It has also affected my gaming. The use of the W-A-S-D keys and mouse have really put a strain on my forearm, and I know between working and gaming, that my injury is taking longer to completely heal. I would have to not use my arm or hand at all and I just don't see that happening. I finished all my medications and the steroids helped. I still have a cream for pain that I am using several times a day.

On another note - I have shared pics here and there about our little rescue kitten, Tumbledart. She will turn two years old in October and we have still NOT fully integrated her into our little family. I feel like we have kept having to start from square one and not really getting anywhere. It seems that Tabitha, my daughter's special needs cat, just will not get along with her and accept her. 😕 She feels threatened anytime Tumble is in her presence. This saddens us. We have been trying so hard but Tabitha will either try to attack her, or she will just run and hide in another room. And poor Tumble, she spends her nights locked in the front room. It's so not fair to her, but I don't want Tabitha to hurt her while we are sleeping. Tabitha has a paw that never formed right with only one claw, and it's as sharp as a dagger. Zac and Korina have gotten used to Tumble and really don't both her. Zac has chased her a couple of times, but he does this when he knows food is in the kitchen. Goodness knows he can't have the cats getting something before him. 😄

Pretty Kitty

My family will continue to try with these hairballs, as they are all part of our family and not going anywhere. We will do what we have to do to ensure that our little balls of fur are safe and secure in their environment and have everything they need.

Korina always has to get inside of something. Here, she got inside of the plastic wrap that encases the water bottles. Silly cat. 😅

I am a day late. I meant to post this last night as I taken part in a while, and I haven't even really been posting. Cleaning and trying to organize has been crazy lately.

National Doggo Day - Six years already...

Zac is our eight year old Chiweenie and he is such a nut, but we still love him. 🐾 🙃

Today marks six years since we lost our beloved Bo. Man, time sure has flown. Not a day goes by that when outside in our backyard, I don't think about him. He was the best dog a family could have. We miss you Bo!!! 🧡

I meant to post this before I logged off last night, but I forgot. LOL! My Friday was quite busy workwise. I worked from home half a day, then had to go to the office to mail out certified letters and help with a couple of APS cases at the front desk. Then the hubby and I had to swing by the bank and open another account that we are going to move a portion of the funds in our checking account and attach just his SSDI check to this one.

Last week, I ordered a new work station since I am working from home quite a bit these days. I needed a little bit more width than my table was providing. My desk was delivered while I was at work and my amazing kids decided to put it together for me. I got home just as they were finishing up. My desk has already been claimed!!! 😂

        

Happy Belated Birthday ...

 

 

I meant to post these pics a couple of days ago. We celebrated with a lil dog food cake topped with a heart. We have always celebrated Zac's special day on Valentine's Day (with Bo) but with me working full time now, the day just kinda got crazy. LOL!

To our beloved GS, Bo - not a day goes by that we don't think about you. I can't believe it's been over five years since we said good-bye. Happy 16th Birthday in Heaven!!

The Little Kitten

Today we let Tumble explore the house. I took her upstairs to our bedroom first while our resident cats explored the living room. This is where Tumble has been staying so we can separate them. We are hoping that both cats have taken to her scent and know she is not a threat to them. Korina and Tabby both explored her area and appeared to be bored while I had Tumble upstairs with me. LOL!

Afterwards, my daughter took the cats to brother's room and kept an eye on them while Tumble explored the house. Oh my gosh! The name Tumbledart fits! Just like the Flash and everywhere. It was quite funny to watch. 

The Little Kitten that did...

A couple of weeks after we were returning home from Six Flags, we saw a mama cat and four kittens take cover under our porch stairs while pulling into our driveway. Mama cat looked very young and she had taught the little ones well - run from humans. A week later as my husband was headed out the door to visit the auto parts store, he noticed one of the kittens on our driveway meowing. He called me outside and I picked the little guy up. He was so cold and was in distress, and probably had been for quite some time. Mama was no where to be seen, and honestly, we hadn't seen her in a few days. Most of the time when mama knows we know she is there - she moves her babies.

I moved this little guy to a warmer area with newspaper inside a cardboard box and tried to feed it a little, and noticed the other kitten staring at us from under the stairs. Talk about a tug on the heartstrings! I believe mama was moving the kittens and this little one just didn't have the energy, and it's sibling stayed back with him. Mama never returned and unfortunately, the little kitten didn't make it, leaving his sibling all alone. I'm not really the cat person in my house and I don't believe in feeding the feral cats that roam our neighborhood, but there was no way that I was going to let this little kitten starve. We bought some wet kitten food and some milk replacer. It only took three days to gain the trust of this little kitten. Meet Warrior Tumbledart the Brave and Loyal. My daughter came up with the name.

Warrior: the will and fight to stay alive
Tumbledart: tumbling all over the place and darting back and forth under the stairs
Brave: for being strong and taking a chance with humans
Loyal: staying back with your sibling so they were not alone

Tumble for short...
