The Tale of TUXIE The Tuxedo Cat And A Prayer Update on Krista

We went away a couple of weekends ago.

Just before we left I looked out the front door

and there was a beautiful tuxedo cat

sitting on our porch.

He looks EXACTLY like the tuxedo cat

we had 15 years ago.

It is just plain EERIE!

Anyway, We can't have a cat right now

so we stopped by our shelter,

which is a no-kill shelter, 

on our way out of town.

CLOSED

They had a number posted for Animal Control.

"Leave the cat on your porch we will pick him up".

We are gone for 2-1/2 days.

We come home and

my heart sinks to my feet- 

TUXIE

is now sitting by the 

BACK DOOR.

On the front door is a note from animal control

that says-

THE CAT RAN AWAY!

Okay-

We go get cat food, litter, 

a litter box and a scooper.

We set the cat up in our heated garage.

We call the shelter again and they have a posting

that someone has lost a tuxedo cat

SIX WEEKS AGO.

We make arrangements with the lady to 

pick her cat up....if it is her cat.

She arrives and she is OVERJOYED

and picks Tuxie up and

TAKES HIM HOME.

He does not look any happier to see her 

then he is to see us.

We give her the food, the litter and the scooper.

Two hours later she calls.

It is NOT her cat.

Helllllllllllllloooooooooo-

I could pick my cat out in a room full of cats.

Anyway,

She has decided to 

KEEP HIM.

We are thrilled because she is a nice lady

and you can tell she was lonesome for her kitty.

Long story short

already too late, isn't it

TUXIE has a new home!

I swear-the strangest things happen to me.

Now-if I could only find a home for this one-

If you'd like him I will arrange 

transportation.

You will have to put your own collar on him

and litter train him though.

His name is Squirrely but you can feel

free to change that if you'd like.

Update on Krista!

She is out of ICU--still not able to come home

but getting better.  Debby and her family

thank you for the prayers for all of them.

FRIDAY THE 13th AND MY SUPERSTITION ABOUT #13

Yesterday I told you I was Irish.

You KNOW that the Irish 

are a superstitious lot, right?

Well, I don't have 

MANY superstitions but I
DO NOT LIKE

the #13.

Did you notice that SUPERSTITIONS has THIRTEEN LETTERS? creepy, huh?

Did the Devil do that just for me?

Moving on---

I would NEVER live in THIS HOUSE!

You will learn something new about me today.

I count things!

Yes.I.Do.

There!  I've said it.

MY SECRET IS OUT.

I have a bit of OCD.

However, I do NOT count EVERYTHING.

But- I do count things like STEPS!

We have moved MANY TIMES over the years

and rehabbed MANY HOUSES

BUT

I won't buy a house that has 

THIRTEEN STEPS!

That is just ASKING FOR IT

if you ASK ME!

image

There is just something 

CREEPY and UNLUCKY

about the #13 to me.

Even writers like James Patterson

know that is true.

image

I love a good old scary movie..

The Shining,

Poltergeist,

The Changeling.

So-it is nothing to do with being scared.

It is just a quirk of mine.

It is mine and I claim it.

It MyHero wants to get rid of me

all he would have to do is 

have a tattoo like this.....

I don't know where this is on that guy's body

and don't WANT to know-thank you!

I see some of you are emailing MyHero right now.

image

So-There you have it!

Here's my advice to YOU for the day.

image

OH! NO!

Just realized I have to pick the girls up from 

school today for the weekend.

Wish me 

Good Luck........

and if I don't come back...

wellll......my luck ran out!

It would be just like 

MyHero to bury me under this sign.

image

If he did I would come back to haunt him.....

Maybe I will anyway---just for fun.

BIRD TALK From A BIRD BRAIN

It's amazing where my imagination

will take me when I am not able

to do much.

Now- I am reduced to 

creating a whole fantasy life for

THE BIRDS.

that are sitting on the playhouse roof!

Pictures are NOT great-taken 

through a window!

I will let the birds do all the talking

for themselves.

Yeah- Even being 

FREE AS A BIRD

is not all it's cracked up to be!!!!

I need to DO something-

the mind is a terrible thing to waste!
