Wriggley's Corner



Coming to you from the cone of silence (can you tell mom is a Get Smart fan?  ::sigh::)

 

A week ago yesterday was my 9 year Gotcha-versary.  Apparently 9 is the year for teeth cleaning and stitches...who knew?!?!?

 

I had my regular check up this past December.  For those of you who may not know, a few years ago I had two tumors removed.  Both were malignant yet neither was a type of that yucky "C" that is likely to spread.  Since then, though, any new lump mom finds on me freaks.her.out.

 

Well, I had two, one on either flank, that mom had been keeping an eye on since May.  Plus I've had one on my hip for about a year (it was staying small).  My Doc didn't think the lumps on my flanks felt like fatty tumors usually do.  The best way to know for sure is to cut them out and send them off to the lab for testing.  What with my previous history, mom wanted to know for sure.  It turned out that I needed my teeth cleaned, too, and my doctor's office was running dental specials in February...do you see where this is going?  Mom figured to get everything taken care of at once.  But on my gotcha day, mom???  Sheesh!

 

Now here I am, a week later, with a sparkling smile and sporting a bit of a Frankenlabbie look.

 

 

We got the call on Monday that all of my lumps were benign, so all is good!

 

Mom says that if she couldn't see my stitchies, she wouldn't think I'd had surgery.  Yeah, it takes a lot to slow this Lab down!  I especially get excited when mom comes home in the afternoon and takes off the cone.  I guess I'm not supposed to run or jump...well...I'm not jumping at any rate...

 

At least my gotcha day wasn't a total wash.

Mom brought back some soovenir toys for me!

 

My Chile Walrus and Texas Sock Monkey.

You can tell Sock Monkey is from Texas cause he's so big :)

 

AND mom took a couple of days off of work just to take special care of me right after my surgery.

 

I get my stitchies out next week on Tuesday.  I can't wait!  This being calm and no playing is really boring!  And, I have to say, I think mom is having too much fun dressing me up in t-shirts and stuff!

I do wanna say thanks to everybuddy for the well wishes and concern.  I really am feeling just great.  Mom made this movie to show where my stichies are and how I am still moving around normally and as crazy as ever (her words), bol!

 

Woofs,

Finally

 um...hai...it's me, Hollie, again...

 

Well, we may finally be back to regular blogging and visiting again.

Every year in January the lady has to travel for her work place.  She always gets stressed out with preparations before she leaves and ends up abandoning our bloggie...then she leaves and abandons us...and this year, when she came back, she still abandoned our bloggie!

 

 

 

The lady gets on a cleaning bent before she leaves anywheres.  She did some cleaning in my room and took away a fun box I had.  It was big and had holes so I could hide in it or run through it.  The lady thought I might like a real tunnel.  Um, ok...but she said before she'd spend any green papers, she'd let me try one that the other kitties here don't play with any more.

 

Do you see it there in the picture?

 

Well, to be honest, I don't think I've ever had a real tunnel before and I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to do with it.

 

 

 

This one that the lady gave me is pretty soft...

 

 

...and feels rather nice under paw for biscuit baking...

 

::purr, purr, purr::  ::knead knead knead::

 

Woops!  Sorry about that...I got a little distracted...

Still, I don't really know what else I'm supposed to do with a tunnel.

 

My new favorite place to nap.

 

If nothing else, at least it's comfier than the box ever was!

 

 

P.S.

That black dog that lives here Wriggley will do a post tomorrow.  Even tho he has to wear that big funny collar, he really is ok.  He says "woof " "thanks" for the well-wishes.

Wordless Wednesday

Wordless Wednesday: Mountain Climbing

 

 

 

I have no one to blame

I have my own room and it is really nice.  No other cat is allowed in here.

 

Yup.  It's me and only me here. 

The only drawback is that I don't have anycat to blame things on, since, um...yeah...I'm the only one that is ever in here.

Take the other day, for instance.
Mom found a bit of yak on our computer chair...

 

Woops!  Heh-heh!

 

Would you believe...

 

 

froggy did it?

When they don't make it easy

Do you see how mom's got my fleecy blankets burried again so I can't nap on them?

 

 

How's a kitty supposed to get her Easy on when the peeps don't make it easy?

 

 

At least mom left me her fleecy sweatshirt.

 

 

Have an easy Easy Sunday, everybuddy!

Ha! Don't it figure

None of us have ever really gone for playing with the roulette wheel.

As soon as we post about Minnie not wanting to play, Smidgen goes and does this...

****Edited to add Youtube link here

We edited that clip down from a minute to the highlights you see.

And since then...

::crickets chirping::

Life is back to normal.

hee hee!
