Unkel Tony's Deck

One of the days that I wan home fow a bweak fwom Jackson's house, Petey and his Mom came ovew...the hoomans wewe going to unkel Tony's fow sitting on the deck and eating and dwinking and talking about Jolson theiw Cat who cwossed the bwidge a few days befowe....
Jolson was a weally sweet cat, and They wewe vewy sad, but wanted to be wif fwiends
Petey and I stayed at home..this is the position we wewe in when the hoomans left us..locked togethew by a ball

Unkel tony and Unkel Mawk have a bootiful deck

they have a big gween thumb, and gwew almost evewything fwom scwatch
thewe awe flowews , and hewbies..and lots of pots..Daddi (the scavangew) finds empty pots fow them all the time..some of the pots need sevewal hoomans to cawwy them
they even gwewed tomatoes to put into the salad wif theiw fwesh basil
it was a gowgeous day , wif the most amazing clouds, and pawfect weathew..mowe like Sept.
the whole place is vewy fwagwant, this is one of the weasons
this is anofew
can you believe those clouds??
we looked mowe closely, and guess what? thewe was Jolson sitting on a cloud looking ovew us
evewything was bootiful and peaceful...Daddi was thinking
Petey's Mom was listening



Unkel Tony said he was so happy that he had asked Mommi to make a pawtwait of Jolson last yeaw

then they all ate and toasted to Jolson's life



isn't that coleslaws the pwettiest colow?? I think it would look gweat on my fwiend Lacie



when My pawents and Petey's Mom came home...guess what we wewe still doing, hehehehehe

Petey nevew gets tiwed of that ball...
I hope you all had a gweat weekend and awe still thinking of Jackson and pwaying fow his full wecovewy.
I pway that all those who lost loved ones this week will be comfowted.

Today is the day Ouw Fwiend Jackson is expected to awwive home fwom his suwgewy..it's also his Birfday!!!


left to wight
Asta, Koobie, Lacie and Agatha in fwont wif hew head thwown back


the nuwsies, aftew wedoing Jackson's bed fow the umpteenth time, winding bandages, making tea, and wefloofing pillows, wewe newvously awaiting his awwival home, and let off some steam by pwacticing theiw intewpwetive Dance of Joy fow Jackson (Asta Oz had not awwived yet)

While he cewtainly isn't up to pawtying yet, we wanted to celebwate him and show him ouw love..so we all got on Aiw Ruby and flew ovew Jackson's house..luckily the windows open, so we could all lean out and softly sing the birfday song and thwow stweamews and confetti and tweats out the plane window...
(you can biggify the pictoowe to see who's on boawd)

on the top deck:
fwom lefttowight,
Dexter, Kaci, Hershey, Sparky(who also has a Birfday today!!!!!), Scruffy, Jake and Just Harry, Toffee, Riley, Moco, Clover, CharlieDaniels, Petey, George the airepup, Lorenza, Stella, and way up front..it's Miss Snickers
in the main cabin:
fwom left to wight,
Boy and Baby, Sophie the pug, Dixie the bug, Tanner, Teka, Joey, Gussie ,Asta, my cats fwiends Scylla and Chawybdis(they'we twins), theiw bwovvew Socks,(they bwaved being wif all the doggies just so they could wish Jackson well!!..now that's admiwable!..so pleez be supew nice to them..I don't want them to feel thweatened in any way)
Deetzy, Maggie, Lenny, Abby, Pearl, Mitch, Mango, Huskee, AmberMae, babyStan, Agatha and Archie, Stanley of Gooberstan, Eric, and Butchy

in the pilot's cabin....Ruby, and hew co-pilot Mack



latew I got off the plane to check on things at Jackson's , while Ruby did a ciwcling of the dog staw fow extwa healing vibes fow Jackson
the pawty on the plane continooed..evewyoe toasting Jackson's health...
I don't know what happeed aftew, as I was busy, but I think evewyone is spending the night at Eric's..unless his squawe mom objects..in which case..evewyone is invited to go to Dweamingspiwes and stay wif ouw hooman fwiend Blue.


Evewyone has been pwaying and bawking, and puwwing, and thinking the most pawsitive thoughts fow Jackson..I now tht the powew of the paw made a big diffewence, and the healing thoughts will continue..as well as mowe volunteews..like this cutie:

I weceived this lettew today:
Deaw Doctow Asta,
What a nuwsing dweam team you have to take cawe of Jackson. You nuwes awe hot but I'm cool, hehe! Can you include me, besides my handsome appeawance, I'm a healing male nuwse, don't you need a muscle paw to weposition or twansfer Jackson fwom bed to chaiw or to walk with him ow to give him a sponge bath?
Cheews! Mango the Maltese kiddo
How could anyone wefoose such a gwacious and sincewe offew of help..thank you Mango, you may cewtainly help us..but I think Jackson might be a tiny bit heavy fow you to twansfew him, ow weposition him, ...and he only likes his giwl nuwsies to give him spongebafs, but don't wowwy, I'm suwe you will be vewy helpful.


HAPPY BIRFDAY AND WESTFUL , HEALING DWEAMS SWEET JACKSON fwom all of us!!

Keep Pwaying and BAWKING for Jackson!!!!Its' wowking

UPDATE ON JACKSON!!!!


We just got this message fwom Jackson's Mom

"You cannot begin to imagine how relieved I am to tell you that Jackson made it through surgery. The procedure went well but the tumour was very large at just under 5cm. It has been sent to the lab for analysis so we'll know more in 3 days. They only removed the back lobe in his left lung. He's still in intensive care and will remain there until given the all clear by the surgeon. He just needs to get through the next few hours. We are not out of the woods yet, but I am feeling cautiously optimistic. Thank you for all your kindness during the last 2 weeks or so. It has meant everything to us. "

This is wondewful news..but we have to keep sending all ouw pawsitive enewgy and pwayews..till Jackson is all the way fine!!!
It's his Birfday Friday, and we hope he'll be home by then and on the way to full wecovewy!
Thank you evewy doggie, catses and hammies, and youw hoomans too!
love
and smoochie kisses

Horrible news from my cat friends


Tragically gone, at the age of three months, with deep condolences to the family of Monty

our friend Monty's littlest bean has left us and flown away to heaven. We are absolutely heart broken for his family.

If you can, we need donations to send Little Violette's God Mother to the funeral - please visit the Cat Blogosphere and give if you can. Also, please take a moment to visit Monty's family and keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

Pulling fow Jackson

I wanted to help my BFF Lacie ,
Scruffy, and baby Stan pull weal hawd fow Jackson, in addition to Pwaying and Bawking at the dogstaw...all fow his successful suwgewy on Tuesday mowning...

sooo I gwabbed Mommi and said "let's go get some bevewages cause Auntie Jane and Petey awe coming ovew"
I dwagged hew to ouw local bevewage stowe

It was hawd to decide what to get

but we finally mde a decision, got some stuff and waited fow them at home

Petey was delivewing a gift fwom ouw pal Eric Square dog(akshually two giftswes, but the big ball needsabycycle pump befowe I can show it to you)
Bof Petey and I got these faboolous squeeky lips to give us smoochie kisses...his has a gweat big cigaw he wasn't suwe at fiwst if his Mom would let him put it in his mouf(he's so politically cowwect about smoking)
my silly Daddi demonstwated to him that it was OK

then he put me in a hammew lock so Mommi could get some sowt of pictoowe..cause all she kept getting was images of my fuzzy butt as I scooted out of the pictoowe wif it in my mouf, hehehehe

this is how you'we supposed to hold it in youw mouf

this is all I kept doing..
I'm sowwy I was being so uncoopewwative, but it was just sooo delicious



Finally to makeMommi happy, I got it the wight way! THANK YOU ERIC!!! I LOVE YOUW LIPSES!



MY DEAW FWIND HAPPY GAVE ME THIS AWAWD..THANK YOU SO VEWY MUCH!!! I WILL TWEASUWE IT, AND WOULD LIKE TO PASS IT ON TO MY FWIEND Axel , who is a vewy cawing ,kind doggie
