लोला स्कोरेस अ परफेक्ट १०!

Some last thoughts and photos as Shane & Echo will be returning to the US next week:

Ok, so I think Lola has gained some weight, but then I am just happy she still has all her fur! Ok, so a friend said to me that the last 4 months had gone by quickly...maybe for her (smile). Ok, so now I can actually pet Lola and she seems to like it, but then she smacked me with quite a wallop an hour later. So are my feelings and experiences with Lola...on one hand she is a sweetie, but on the other...just watch out!

Posting some last photos for Mom & Dad. Lola has not tried to jump over the lattice barrier we have placed across the entrance to downstairs, so I decided to let her have a supervised walk on the deck. It's been awhile since she was out in her stroller due to rain or the cold temps. She liked it, but now wants more.

And honestly, sorry about another shot of cat poo, but this was how it came up on the scoop...too funny not to post...Lola Scores a Perfect 10!

I couldn't believe it when Lola jumped up into Cali's favorite sleeping spot! Cali was outside, so Lola took advantage and got right into a nap. The shot from behind reminds me of a Butter Ball Turkey :)

And doesn't it look like she is about to cry...here in she shot of her in the pink chair? I think she was thinking of her Mom & Dad!

Welcome Home you world travelers!

Lola, Not The Cheesecake!

It must be close, the time that you will be home. Ok, I admit it, I like the early morning sun to relax and get a quick clean up, but boy is GrandMa strict! Lola, don't to that, Lola, No! are words I often hear Mom.

And ok, although I don't like my country cousin, I have enjoyed sneaking tidbits of her food~she does know how to eat!

And I have a favorite chair, but wouldn't you know it, last week GrandMa was sitting in it! I acted like I didn't notice & just got up there and tried to get comfy. Some people, honestly.

I sure am looking forward to your return Mom & Dad, how about a bath when you have rested up? Safe Home!

Lola's Photo Shoot

I heard Mom & Dad had a photo shoot in China, so I had my own person come in and take some shots of me. See how you like them.

How Sweet It Is!

Hey Mom & Dad: I understand that you are now in China because Grandma & Pops have been saying it was half way now & they seemed to be very happy about it. I enjoyed hearing your voice on the phone, but did not like having the camera in my face, when I wasn't dressed properly! Wanted to tell you that I learned a new trick~ Have been watching Grandma put Cali's delicious food up on the stove whenever I am around. Don't think that is very nice, but little I could do about it until last night. I thought if they won't bring the food to me then I will have to go to the food! And boy did I~it was a little tough getting the heavy metal pie pan off the dish, but I did it & was able to get a big chunk of Shrimp & Fish Dinner, before Grandma got in the kitchen :) She was yelling something or the other, but I noticed she didn't come too close to me & the food...by this time I had jumped to the floor & How Sweet it is, was all I could think as the juicy, wet fish & shrimp slid down my dry parched throat! Ok, so I am a little itchy today, but a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do!

And I have to say it's a good thing I have such good self esteem~having grown up on the streets of Brooklyn, NY~ I have developed pretty thick skin Because it's not nice to hear Grandma tell people that if she didn't know better she would swear a small dog was using my litter pan! Seriously, is that nice! AND she is even posting a photo because she has never seen anything so big being deposited by a cat. Come on, after all I am a 'big' girl.

Oh well, I am enjoying my time out on the deck in the stroller each day and the country air helps me sleep better at night. But I do miss you & looking forward to your return!

PS Grandma wants you to ask my other Granny how to cook the thing on the deck railing?

Relaxing in the Country

Lola is getting use to the country life...she is exploring more & more but still not friendly with Cali :( Lola loves to go downstairs & boy can she get into 'things' :) She played a few keys on the piano, but didn't like the sound & left very quickly. You were right when you said she likes to find the highest spots! Last night she went right up the mattress that was standing on end! All those extra shape claws in action. She didn't want to get off either. Last post was 9/11~two weeks, two days :)

Last night she was running from 'her' room into the living room and back...quite a racket, I have to say, but she was getting some exercise anyway and she was having fun. She is outside now as we speak, enjoying the warm Sept sun.

Kitty Gone Bad

 

Is It September Yet?

Hey Mom & Dad:

GrandMa, said I could do this one on my own...I had already instructed her which photos to take so you could see I was learning the house. I do like Dad's old 'Clubhouse' and I've found some interesting stuff on the walls...have you been up there? I do like the down stairs, as I can hide from GrandMa, which is a blast...Well, she doesn't think so, but hey a cat's gotta have some fun! And I will say this new array of furniture to stretch and sharpen my claws on is pretty sweet. Boy, I thought GrandMa & Pops were old till I saw them move toward me to get me to stop the stretching...all I'm sayin' is that they can move when they want to!

GrandMa did buy me a 'scratching post' which is actually corrugated cardboard, but it works for me, although Pop's wasn't too happy w/the price for Cardboard!! $6.00 for a slab of cardboard, he said! But I get on it pretty regularly, although, I have to admit, I still prefer the furniture. Who can blame me, really?

The other day I heard GrandMa say Veterinarian & I hid in a box, but she still found me :( I did enjoy my walk around the neighborhood and getting to see Mohegan Sun~doesn't look so bad to me.

You will note the ghetto cone I am now forced to wear :( Please bring me something pretty from Italy! A Moreno Beaded Necklace will do or perhaps a Persian scarf to match my smokey gray fur?!
