Rest in Peace Steve

Steve Jobs 1955-2011

Thank you for all you have done. It might have been done without you, but it wouldn't have been anywhere near as cool!

Livestrong!

Ann of Zoolatry makes this fur us, isn't it great?

Today is a day of celebration and memory.  Our mommy's life has been up-lifted,crushed and forever changed because of cancer. For 3 years she ran 3 cancer support groups on-line back when AOL was the main way to chat.  Her groups were for children with cancer, young adults with cancer and a group for the parents of children with cancer. The groups were attended by hundreds each week.  She also did intervention support for several local hospitals who would ask her to speak to young patients that were having troubles.

During that time she saw unnatural empathy and amazing bravery from the young warriors in her  world.  Their comedic antics could fill volumes. Their ability to suck every minute out of a good day was amazing.  The lengths they went to make situations better for their families would break your heart. They were Living Strong before there was a term for it.

For all those young warriors, we give thanks fur their contribution to all our lives.

We would like to thanks Ann of Zoolatry and Jan, Milo and Alfie's Mom fur giving us this opportunity to remember openly.

Mommy's memberances.

MoCats!

Mommy not has lots of times to help us Blogs. Seriously kitties, she is staying up all the nights typing, but not fur our blog. Sometimes she starts typing slow, then she gets more of that brown stuff, what Squashies likes to try to bury, then she types fast again.

So we begs her acause we not wants to miss MoCats Day.

So here are some highlights of things what has been going on:
When we goes to BlogPaws we meets sweet Teri, Disco and Brighton riding in their strollar, (Teri was pushing, she not fits in the strollar,) and they gives us our very own "Curlz and Swirlz" swag bag fulls of such wonderful stuffs. Redmousie has been very lonely acause they gives us a oranj swirly thing what is yarn just like redmousie, only i can throws it up in the air and pounce it.  Is my mew favorite toy!  We gots lots of cool things in the bag, even some of that brown stuff what Squashies likes to try to bury just fur Mommy. Mommy takes picshurs but she hasa wait til work is not being stoopid to get them out of the camera.

At the BlogPaws I was in a interview fur the Petfinder.com it was very good, cept after about 10 minutes I was done being held by the pretty ladies and wanted to go splor more, so  I just gets up, and leaves.  Dis the advantage of walking on a leash, I can walk Mommy where ever I wants to go!

So asides from BlogPaws, way backs on August 28, our resident funny lady, Wendy, LOL'ed us!  We just love all her LOLs and spends some time this morning going over the posts we has missed.  Is a gud way to cure the blues this rain has put on us.  Thanks you fur making us funny Wendy, you are special to highlight all the kitties!

We are home!

We finally gets home from our trips. We is so very sorry we not gets to blogs much, but the innernets not gud to post picshurs and mommy not has any pashuns.

So this what we did:

After we leeves Canada on July then we takes a nice leasurely tour through UpState Noo York, in search of some cools.  First we goes to Rochester, Noo York where we gets ourVan last year. We stops at the woorld famous Jell-O museum.

Dis ourVan at the world famous Jell-O museum!

Okay so this not the biggest tourist place ever, but LeRoy Noo York is a very nice town. We spends the night there too. I sampled some of the grass in their village green, it was quite tasty!

Then we heads east and spends a night at a rest stops so we can gets to Syracuse, Noo York.  When we gets there we stays the night at WallyWorld acause mommy needs to get the oil changed in ourVan.  When we gets the oil changed, Squashies and me gets to ride up on the lift!  Squashies not thinks this was too much fun and hides in her little hidey-hole under the bed that mommy makes fur her. I not likes the hidey-hole acause I can't fit in it, and I just knows that there are treats in there!

So then we finds this grate campground that has green lakes! (Don't ask Mommy about the picshurs from this part, acause she might starts to cry again.) The water was really green but not in a dirty way. I smells it, and it was not stinky or anything.

This campgrounds had chewy grass, but it was good, and when I goes for my walks in the morning and after dinners, all the childern cames to pet me!  I was quite the star. One ladee takes my picshur with a card that sais "Cat on a leash".  She was doing a scavanger hunt.  She was very happy to see me.

We likes it there lots, and so we stayed a whole week. Mommy takes out ourFence so we can sit outside while she works. But don't worry kitties we not allowed to stays outside by ourselves. (We shows you a picshur of that later.)

All this purrty sure makes a kitty tired!

Then we spends the weekend driving through the back roads of the Adirondack. It was so purrty.  Mommy stops lots to bisit with the peeple that has town fairs. It seems like all the towns was having art shows and stuffs that weekend!  I gets to get out and sample all the grass, but Squashies not want to puts her harness on, so she guards ourVan while we walks.

This me sitting on top of a glacier rock in the Adirondacks. These big round rocks is everywhere in Noo York.

 Then the next day we goes to takes a ferry ride to Vermont!  It started out as fun, but then it gets the hots, and we not allowed to runs our engine or generator. Mommy gets a worry-worry and takes the big water bottle out of the fridge so Squashies and me can get a cool. We both lays down next to it for most of the trip.

ourVan on the Ferry from Port Kent, New York to Burlington, Vermont.

So then we drives through Vermont. Burlington is a nice city with lots of purrty houses.  We drives until 6 oclock cause that's when we eats.  Mommy finds a WallyWorld in Montipeller, VT so we stays there for the night.  The grass their was delectable!

Then we goes to one of Mommy's favorite places: The White mountains in Noo Hampshire- "Home of the worst weather on Earth".  Is ok, kitties, the weather is mostly bad in the winter.

Now I knows you has a picshur in your head about white mountains, but they is not white! But they is very cool. So while our poor Daddy has the hots at home, we was nice cool!
We stays at the Mt.Washington Cog Railway for a few days, as you can sees we has a nice place, and it was free acause Mommy has a park pass.  As you can tells from the picshur, there was plenty of grass to sample. Let me tell you kitties, mountain grass is the bestest!

ourVan at the BaseCamp of the Cog Railway.

Then Mommy has to do laundries so we goes to town. (She not brings us toona like she did when she does laundry in Canada! Hmmph!)


After we has clean laundry we drives to the other side of the mountains to the Mt.Washington Auto road.  We stays there for 2 nights to waits when Mommy not has to work so we can go up. But they not lets us go up in ourVan acause they sais we is too heavy.  I offers to stay down acause I know I'm very heavy, but Mommy sais is all our stuff that is too heavy, not me.

This ourVan at the Auto road parking lot with a beautiful birch forest behind us.

The whole time we is in the mountains it not get hotter than 83f, most days it stays in the 70s. So we tells Mommy she should go up the Auto Road without us. So she rides up.  Mommy loves history so was fun to go up on the 150th anniversary of the road.

We is going to stops now, acause the next part of our trip, we travels to Bar Harbor, Maine.

We hopes you likes our storee!
