I am sorry

I apologize to everyone.  I did not mean to be away so long but I have had a number of adventures.  A couple of them were not very much fun at all.  The worst was when mommy and daddy went away and left me with Gus and his family.

I like my house.  I don’t know why mommy and daddy thought I should go and be in another house.  I like my house. This other house had strange smells and things, but mostly it did not have my mommy and daddy.  I was scared.  Gus tried real hard to be nice to me; and his mommy and daddy were too.  But I was scared. I got very sick.

Gus’s mommy and daddy took me to a very strange place.  When we were there people shaved my tummy and gave me lots of needles and medicine.  I did not have fun. I was scared.  Did I tell you, they shaved my tummy.  They put gooey things on me. They put needles in my neck and left me with a big lumpy feeling that took a long time to go away.  They gave me medicine that made me wobbly.

But I think all these things worked, because my mommy and daddy came back.  I got to go home again.  I was happy.

Owies!

About a week ago, Mommy found some owies on my back.  She and Daddy thought I had just scratched myself.  So she cleaned them up, put some bandage spray on them, and made me wear a t-shirt.  I thought I was getting better, but it hurt a lot every time she put bandage spray on it, and I had to cry.  But this morning, she found a big bald spot on my back.  My owies were now very very big.

So she called the vet (I HATE THOSE PEOPLES!!!) and they said to bring me right in.  So Mommy and I got in the car (I love car rides, cars are fun) and Mommy got lost- we did not get out of the car at Timmy’s house?!?!   I really don’t like it when she gets lost.  She shouldn’t do that- we should only visit my friends.

We go into the vet, and I start crying, and I don’t want them to touch me.  But Mommy puts me down anyway.  (She’s so mean!)  The doctor says that they have to give me nice meds, because I’m being so grumpy.  Then they tell Mommy that I have an infection and they have to shave me and clean it out, and give me a very big shot of antibiotics.

Then Mommy left me alone.  I don’t really know why she left me alone.  But when I woke up, Mommy was standing in front of this really weird cage and trying to get me out!  Daddy even came with to pick me up.  I was really lucky.  They brought me home, and it was so fun!  Everything is very exciting, and I fall off of things, and I have to eat a lot and give lots of kisses.  It makes Mommy and Daddy laugh a lot.  They think I’m cute.  So I’m talking to them and telling them lots of stories.  They like it when I tell them stories.

This is me.  On meds.  I’m fun like this!

The Doctor.

Yesterday was a very scary day.  Mommy got up EARLY in the morning (she never does that) and gave me snuggles.  Then we went on a car ride.  I like cars.  But then she took a wrong turn.  We went to the doctor.  I shook and cried, but she took me in anyway.  Then to make it even worse, they took me away from her!  They put me in a kennel in the back for a very long time.  There were dogs barking, and kitties crying, and weird smells and it was scary!!!  Then they took me out and shaved one of my legs and put something in it.  It hurt, so I kicked it out.  Then they shaved one of my front legs.  I started waving and crying because I wanted Mommy.  They said I was being difficult.  So they shaved my other front leg and put something in there that made me feel really tired and yucky.  Then they cleaned my teeth (or so Mommy tells me).  Then they put me back in that kennel.  I don’t like kennels.  They gave me more medicine, it made me see things.  It was scary.  Then Mommy and Daddy came to pick me up.  Daddy NEVER comes to the doctor!  I must have been really lucky. (or bad depending on which way you look at it)  I sat on Mommy’s lap the whole way home.  She didn’t know why I was scared.  They had only told her that I would be sleepy.  I was scared of the lights and of moving.  We went upstairs, and Mommy let me out.  I got REALLY scared.  I ran into things and I fell on my butt.  People made noises and I fell on my butt.  I couldn’t walk straight, and I didn’t know who Mommy and Daddy were.  So Mommy called the doctor.  Then they put me into the bathroom with my pan, my food, my bed, and my favorite toys.  I calmed down.  It was dark.  Soon Daddy came to let me out.  Mommy said that I had eaten a lot.  I liked my food.  I ate two whole cans!  I’m going to be a big boy.  Then I went and snuggled with Mommy and Daddy on the couch.  We watched TV together.  I fell asleep.

I’m feeling much better now.

A Travesty!!!

Today Mommy put me in the car.  I love taking car rides!  Usually we go to visit Grandma and Grandpa and my favorite best friend Timmy.   But today, we took a wrong turn.  I think Mommy got lost.  We went to the VET!!!! I HATE THE VET!!!!! I snuggled up really close to Mommy when she took me out of the car, maybe  she was still lost?  But then, we went inside.  They checked me all over.  They say it’s hard to hear my heartbeat and hear me breathing because I growl so much.  I’m a good growler.  But then they started playing with my paws.  And my toenail hurts!  They said I had an infection.  They have to clean it all up and put me on medicine to make me better.  Well, that was all just fine and dandy.  But then they made Mommy leave me there!  So I’m sleepy, in a strange place, where they’re doing strange things to me, and Mommy’s not even there!  At least she left me with blankie.  I like my blankie.

I wish I was with Timmy, I was having fun yesterday.  We were playing.  I was showing him my teeth, giving him kisses, and showing him my belly.  He doesn’t like my teeth as much as I do.  I don’t understand it.  But then Mommy took me back to my small house (the house where I play with Timmy is my big house) and then I wound up at the vet.  I just don’t get it.  Was I naughty?

When Mommy and Grandma and Grandpa came to get me, they were very happy to see me.  I wasn’t let out of my carrier on the way home, though.  And I like to look out the windows while we drive.  Mommy let me out when we got upstairs. And I gave everyone kisses.  Lots of kisses.  And I had the munchies.  I ate a lot.  Mommy was impressed.  I think they gave me something that made me feel funny.  But Mommy says it will make me feel better.  I tried to sleep, but everything just felt so good.  Pets were good, cardboard was AWESOME, and I got anything I wanted.  This was just a really weird day.

Busy morning

Bunnies! Bunnies!

My bunnies are outside! I rushed down this morning, looked out my window and there they were. My bunnies!

I was so excited I didn’t even stop to get my breakfast… and I like my breakfast. But I like my bunnies better!

hunterWhen my bunnies are there, I have sneak up really quietly… lay low, and peak over the edge of my window. If I don’t do that no one will believe what a great hunter I am. I am a great hunter. I know how to lay low. I know how to sneak. I can peak over edges at things. I am a good hunter.

If I sneak really carefully maybe they will want to come in. I could be their friend. We could cuddle.  Maybe we could be in a kitty heap. I like being in a kitty heap. Mostly I only get to be in kitty heaps with my people and they’re not fuzzy like my bunnies!  Maybe the bunnies will like me and want to cuddle.

I HAVE BEEN ABUSED!!!!

family-shot

gus-santaYes, it’s true.  It’s horrible.  Mommy and Daddy abuse me horribly!  These pictures are evidence of it.    Apparently they thought it was “cute” or something.  I cried.  I hissed.  I meowed.  And THEY STILL DID IT!  I don’t understand my people sometimes, they can be so mean.  And now I hear that these pictures are going out in CHRISTMAS CARDS??? WHY????? So that the world can see my humiliation??  I love my Mommy and Daddy, but this is just abuse!!!

Boxes


Every now and then, Mommy and Daddy go out.  And when they come back, they always have these really cool cardboard things for me to play on and chew!  One time, they came back with these things that Mommy puts on the stove and makes food with (I don’t get why she likes those), but she gave me the box!  And it had little cardboard things inside of it that I could throw around and make a mess with.  It made them laugh.  I like making them laugh.  Then last week, Daddy got something that Mommy called his Christmas present.  I don’t really get it, it’s a box that sits on a table and they watch pictures on it.  I’m not sure what it really does.  But it came with a HUGE box!  Daddy cut doors in it, and made me a ramp too.  I really like it.  I can climb on it, and in it, too!  And they even throw toys in there for me to play with.  And when they’re in my room with me, I can stand on top of it and give them kisses.  I like giving kisses.  Mommy says I’m a good kisser.  I think she might like me.  But my favorite boxes are the ones that they’re using.  Those are really awesome.  I really like it when Daddy and Mommy play games, because I can take over their box and then they can’t put anything away and have to stay up with me allllllll night!  It’s pretty exciting.  And I discovered that shoe boxes are almost as much fun as toilet paper!  I can shred them too.  Mommy doesn’t like it when I shred boxes or toilet paper though.  I don’t understand it.  I think it’s fun!  She’s worried about me getting something called a “blockage” again.  I don’t remember it, but she says it’s from when I ate styrofoam when I was little.  She says I didn’t like it.  Well, that’s all for today.  I have to go help Mommy do the laundry.  I’m a good helper!

Gus

Hi Friends!  My name is Gus.  More technically, I am Sir Augustus Lancelot Meowgie Esquire the third (prestigious don’t you think?), but I am referred to as “Gus” or “Gusalupagus”.

It was in October of 2007 that I was found, I was only about 4 months old.  I was left out in the cold in South Bend, Indiana.  I was being beaten by sticks, and having rocks thrown at me by mean children.  I was also being attacked by dogs (and still cannot hear a dog bark without being scared to death).  A very nice couple named Jeremy and Miriam took me in.  They tried very hard to find my family, but no one seemed to want me.  Then one day, we went on a very, very, very long drive.  All the way to Colorado.  There, I met my new family, who happened to be Jeremy’s little sister, and her husband.  (I like them, they’re my favorite)  I was very scared for the first few days, but then I saw my new home, where I had my OWN room, many toys, and plenty of food to fill my little belly.  They even let me snuggle with them on the bed!!!

Now, I’m a big boy.  They bring home boxes just for me to play in, feed me yummy things (my favorites are peanut butter, roast beef, and cheese), and pretty much let me do whatever I want.  Yeah, I’m pretty much totally awesome.  And everyone always comes to visit and play with me, and give me belly rubs.

Regularly, I am taken over to my arch-enemy’s house (he’s also my best friend) and I’m forced to play with him.  I don’t like him very much, I have to growl and hiss at him to keep him in his place.  But he’s learning.  I’m just scared of him because he’s so much bigger than me, and I’m such a little boy.

That’s all for now, we shall talk more later.

Kisses!

Gus
