Jewelry gift ideas

I would like to suggest, on behalf of mom (and myself) that if you would like to get earrings and or a bracelet for someone special on your holiday gift giving list, to please contact mom. Let her know a general idea of colors and what you would like, and she can make something for you to give. And, or, you can check out mom's private jewelry website. (It is by invitation only, and if you forgot your sign in and or are new, please also contact mom and she can (re) invite you. Prices are dependent on what you want and stones/beads used. Mom will let you know prices in advance for your approval. General they run $20-30. ALL FUNDS FROM JEWELRY SOLD WILL GO TOWARDS MY ANNUAL VET APPT. *NOW SCHEDULED FOR THIS WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 18 AT 11:30 AM.* (Mom and I still don't have all the funds, but thanks to a few jewelry sales and donations, we have half so mom could at least go ahead and schedule.)

Photos at Last!!

At long last, I've finally have new pictures posted...and the next 2 posts I do (whatever days they are) will also have new pictures. We want to send out a huuuuge thank you to Samantha, Tigger, and Maverick's mom for emailing our pictures to us so we could save them to this laptop, since we had trouble uploading them through a disc. And, we continue to be ever so thankful to Sammy, Miles, and Billy's "Meezer Mom" for sending this laptop as a gift so that we could continue to blog. Thanks to both of you for your ever generous hearts and gifts! Now, we would like to point out two things in the first, closeup, picture. Notice both my beautiful whiskers AND my beautiful eyelashes. Mom LOVES my eyelashes!! And, notice how alert I am in the next two pictures! Love, Beau

What I Put Mom Through

Yesterday, by the time mom was bathed, dressed, and ready for me to go into my PTU I had figured out what was happening. I NEVER EVER go down without a fight! (Ask anyone here who knows me...there's a reason for "Fluffy Scissorpaws!") I streaked to under the bed and didn't move for a very long time. When I finally did come out I bolted for the living area and went on top of the highest piece of furniture and looked at mom. I gave her a look of, "I'm not an idiot, mom!" I stayed up there for an even longer time! By this time, mom had already called the v-e-t office, told them what was going on, and that we might be late. Between bed and high furniture standoffs, mom had tried dangling ham in front of me, opening the fridge several times, asking me if I wanted to go out on my leash, ignoring me, eating something herself, and trying to get me to play with her, all trying to entice me into getting withing grabbing distance. I knew what she was doing so nothing worked. All this lasted an HOUR! I wore mom out too...heehee!! (She needs the excercise.) I finally let her get me when A) she shook the tall piece of furniture making me a bit nervous, and B) I was TIRED! However, I made sure to growl, hiss, and claw her as she was putting me in the PTU for proper effect. I even did something new this year. After she put me into the truck, and climbed in next to me, I reached through the door space, grabbed her arm with my paw, and pulled it up again the PTU, pleading with her to let me out. It didn't work, but she was impressed! Mom was so tired by the time we returned home she left me alone all afternoon! heehee Love, Beau

Vet Day

Today is vet day. I will be having my annual shots, teeth cleaning, physical and blood work. I will also be weighed and have my nails done. I will be gone for several hours, but mom promises to let me on the computer when I get home to update. MAYL!! Love, Beau

UPDATE: We are home and I got a good report. The v-e-t said everything looked good, and my teeth weren't too bad. Yea! I had gained a little weight (less than a pound), but mom was told that was okay because I'm still only 2 lbs. over my "ideal" weight...and they said it's better for cats my age to be a LITTLE overweight than be losing weight. Mom agreed. I still have yet to get my blood tests results, which we will get Friday. The only thing we expect with that is that my iron is on the low side of normal. That is normal for both me AND mom. So, I found out I'm a healthy 10-year-old cat, and I have a prettier smile to go with it! (The bad news is mom still owes $150 pfft) Love, Beau

Notes

I wanted to mention a few add-ons from the past few weeks. First of all, as for my graduation and receiving the actual certificate for being a minister, just call me Beau. No need to call me Reverend Beau, Reverend Davis, etc. I'm still just the Beau you know and love! By the way, my GPA was 4.0. As for my relationship with Purrl, we are not officially a couple right now. Since there is an age difference, we are taking our time getting to know each other and see where it leads...but she is a very sweet and nice cat. I go to my v-e-t appointment Wednesday morning for annual shots, physical, and dental. Thanks to a few donations, etc., we at least have a little more than half of the estimated bill. Thanks to those who have donated...handwritten thank you notes will be enroute this week! Lastly, mom got to talk to ex-boyfriend for 20 minutes the other night, and he SAID he is going to call her on Thanksgiving break! (Let's all pray he actually does.) That's all the news for now! Love, Beau
