Laundry Day!
I like to help Mommy on laundry day. I’m a good helper. I hold things down for her, and I make sure that she trips a lot over me. So without further ado, here are pictures of me helping. (Sorry they’re blurry, Mommy’s phone isn’t very good.) As you can see, first I hopped into the Laundry baskets.
Then I hopped into the tub, and I was playing with the drain plug. It was very exciting!!!
Then I got tired and I had to take a nap. In the piles of clean laundry. Because I know Mommy and Daddy just LOVE my fur all over their clothes!!
I’m going to go finish my nap now.
Kisses!

My company…
I apologize for having been off-line for a while. I have been very busy.
Just after New Years, I was very lucky. I had lots of company come to visit me at my house; they liked me very much. I am pretty sure they came to visit me. People like me a lot.
We had many days of fun. I showed my new people how to cuddle and watch my deer. I also showed them how to find me. I helped them find me when they were lost; I yelled very loud. They petted me. I like being petted. I purred and cuddled them. I showed them my toys. I ran very fast. I slept in their beds. We had fun!
Just when things were getting really comfy, one of my new people left. I was lonely. I missed my friend… but I still had lots of company. I played with everyone and tried to keep them happy. Then a little while later a second person left my house… I was lonelier; I don’t know why they left. A few days later my daddy went away. I don’t like it when he leaves; he is my friend. He should stay.
I have had to work VERY hard to keep mommy happy. I don’t want her to leave me, too. I don’t know why people leave. They should stay. I am nice.

Gus! My buddy.
My buddy Gus came for a visit today.
He was already in the house and walking through the family room when I finally noticed he was there. When he saw me, he smiled and hissed. Gus was happy to see me!
We chased each other around the house. We ran very fast. Gus chased me… I chased Gus. I was fastest.
I helped Gus eat his food. His mommy brought my favorite kind of food- Gus’ food! I ate a lot; Gus ate a lot, too.
We ran and played. We made lots of noise. We crashed into walls because we ran very fast. My feet would not hold onto the ground when I made fast turns. I slid.
When we finished running, we got to look at the birds and squirrels. We made lots of chatter. The birds and squirrels liked us. We liked looking at them. They were exciting. We had fun. Gus let me sit next to him. He didn’t even yell or hiss or show me his teeth.
Then Gus went home… I was tired. I slept.
My friend!
I was resting upstairs in my bed when I heard the front door bell. I like it when the front door bell rings; it usually means people have come to visit me! People like to visit me!
I ran fast out to the hall and yelled loud. I have to yell loud so people will know I am there… I don’t want them to miss me, because they have come to visit me. They want to pet me and be my friends, mostly.
Gus was there! My buddy. He is my very best friend. I like him a lot. He makes lots of loud noises, rolls over to show me how big his feet are and waves his arms! He makes funny noises and shows me his teeth; I think he is proud of his teeth.
He curls up and tries to grab me with his arms. I like to jump on him and show him how friendly I can be. He gets really noisy when I play with him in a kitty heap. He gets really small and yells at me. Gus had many loud things to say- for little kitty he sure has a big voice. He tells me all kinds of things and I have to stand still.
When I stand still and let him out of our cuddly kitty heap, he goes fast to my eating place and eats my food for me. I think he is trying to be helpful. He likes my food! It is good food. I like food!
Sometimes when he yells really loudly and holds me with his teeth, Gus’ mommy and daddy put Gus in a room by himself. I think it’s because Gus gets tired quickly. When he is in his room resting, I have to lay really low and stick my arms under the door. When I do that really well, Gus will come and touch my paws. I think he likes playing with me. I am sad when Gus is tired and has to rest.
We got to play and cuddle many times. Gus was very happy. He waved his arms lots! He got to roll over on the ground and let me cuddle him. He got to rest many times. I like being his friend.
I think he likes me.

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!

Hi. I am Tim! Actually my entire name is Timothy Taag McDoogal (elegant, don’t you think?)
It wasn’t too long ago that I was locked up in a PetsMart jail. I must have done something wrong in order to get there, but I don’t know what it was. They even named me Patches… I really must have made a big mistake. I don’t know, maybe my old owners had too many pets… or been under some financial stress. Who knows?!?!
The people at PetsMart treated me pretty nicely, but still I managed to come down with kennel cough and several other nasty ailments.
My ‘accommodations’ were tolerable, although I never really liked them.
I sure was glad when my new people came to ‘break me out’ one day. Going from a small jail cell to a house was awesome… although my first bath wasn’t really splendid.
My new people sure tried to be friendly; even though I felt lousy.
To let you know a bit more about me…
I am a very friendly guy. Everybody likes me! I am almost certain about that. People regularly come by to visit me. I am totally irresistible! People practically stumble over themselves when I’m around!
I talk a lot because people are a bit ‘slow’ and need to hear what I have to say. For some reason, they seem to be get lost a lot and are often lonely for me. My shouting seems to help them find me. It really is hard to keep them from getting lonely.
Oh and did I mention, I like food?!?! Food is one of my favorite things. I used to be thin, but now I am robust. Some people think I’m getting fat, but what do they know? I’m just a big guy. Oh and I really do like food- fresh baked turkey, especially.
Anyway that’s a bit about me. We’ll get better acquainted as time progresses….
