Our Holiday Card for 2021 and a "Stoned" Good Time!

 Hi everyone! Hoping you are all well!

First, my DEEPEST apologies that for the FIRST YEAR since I have been blogging (in 2009), I did not send out ANY holiday snail mail cards. Part of this was due to Chanukah falling disgustingly early, and I completely dropped the ball. I didn't have time to have snail mail cards made, haven't bought postage, and didn't even buy boxed cards from the store!!  The other reason is that I had a huge kidney stone attack the day after Thanksgiving and have not been feeling well at all. I am going in for Lithotripsy Number "I Lost Count, 15 Maybe?" on the 10th, so I wanted to be sure to post our holiday card for all of you now, on the day designated as:

 just in case I am feeling awful for a while after the lithotripsy. SO BE SURE TO GRAB THE CARD BELOW!!

In addition to our holiday card which was made by the sweet, thoughtful and loving Ann of the Zoolatry blog, I am including a couple of photos of Levi that Levi's most favorite person from Canine College, (Dylan), took yesterday! Enjoy!!

and from ME TOO!!!!

Wishing you ALL

a happy, safe and blessed

Holiday season!!!!

I am grateful for each and every one of you!

Do you think maybe Levi

could get a job with Santa 

guiding his sleigh???

Love to all of you!!

Meowy Christmas One and All!

Hi my furiends and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

I wanted to take a moment to THANK EVERYONE for the snail mail cards that I received:

Considering my lazy Mom never added us to the card list this year we are flattered that ANYONE took the time to think of us, THANK YOU!!!

Now on to the ecards that we received! (In previous years we linked to everyone's blogs, this year because I don't know how to Mom is lazy, we aren't going to. Please accept our apologies!) Now, bring on the cards!!

These are just the best ever, aren't they? Thank you so much dear furiends for thinking of us even if we aren't blogging nearly as much as we used to. It truly means the world to us!!!

Hoping Santa is extra good to ALL OF YOU!!!

Oh and we apologize that we didn't post about our Secret Paws gifts yet, but come on over on THURSDAY, we are going to post them for sure!!

Meowy Christmas to one and all and Happy Chanukah to those who celebrate! We love you!

Cody and Mom (and Dakota too!)

Our Holiday Card...and...We Know Who Our Secret Paws is!!!

Hi everyone!!! We are doing our best to send cards via email/snail mail to every furry/human who has sent us one, but in the event we didn't reach everyone we wanted to post our card here for you to grab:

It is always fun when Chanukah and Christmas fall together so we dusted off our card from the last time this happened and figured since we like it are lazy we would use it again!

And......guess what? We know who our Secret Paws is!!! We were full of glee when the mail person dropped off our package today! It is from none other than:

The most STUNNING Cathy Keisha and TW!!!! CK and TW have been blogging as long as we have been (slightly over 10 years now), and they were two of our FIRST blogging furiends that we made!
I am waiting to have the boys (yep I said boys! CK and TW were BEYOND THOUGHTFUL and even included a gift for Dakota!) open their gifts Sunday night, which is the first night of Chanukah! We are hoping to do a blog post on the 23rd showing what we received. We are all so excited! In the unlikely event that you don't know CK and TW you can visit their blog Stunning Keisha by clicking on their name.

Thank you sooo much CK and TW! We will be thanking you again and again! We love you!

To all of you, we love you too and hope you enjoy our card!

"Oh Christmas Card Tree, Oh Christmas Card Tree!! How Festive Are Your Branches!!"

Hi everyone!! In case you forgot who I am, it's Cody! Why would you forget me? Oh, just because Mom hasn't helped me blog in OVER A WEEK!!! Do you believe it? It's been OVER A WEEK since either Mom or myself have blogged. Mom said she just wasn't "feelin' it", well, good for her, I had to put my paw down because I AM "feelin' it" and I wanted to start today with another Christmas card post.

This one is different! This post features the cards I have received so far via snail mail (Mom has assured me we will blog about the ecards at some point next week). Of course, after Mom took photos another card came, and that pawson wanted to send us a card so badly they accidentally sent two!! (and they were different cards!). Mom and I love them both!

If you notice in the photo above, there are cards attached to my cat tree!!!! Mom said she had a quandary this year as to where to put MY cards (not hers and Dads, not Dakota's but MY cards) because I am a lucky kitty and I get so many!

So, Mom came up with the genius idea of attaching some of them to my cat tree so that I may enjoy them at my leisure (my entire day is spent at "my leisure" but I digress.) Here are some photos of my tree and the wall next to my tree where we have also displayed my cards.

I loved Mom's idea...until she decided to stick some loser Detroit Lions ornaments that they send to the season ticket holders each year, on to MY tree! I told Mom I didn't want losers represented on MY tree (even if they ARE members of the feline family), but she didn't listen.

Poor Dakota! I would have posted his cards too, but I didn't want him to feel bad since he only received about 10 so far and I have way over 20!!!!! Oh and Mom and Dad only received four and two of them are from the same pawson!!

Thank you so much to all of our furiends who sent cards, we love each and every one of them!

Before I forget, wait til you see the PAWESOME Secret Paws package I received!! OMC it is just the BEST!!!! Mom and I are going to blog about that on Monday for sure! Mom took a bunch of photos and we have to go through them but we will post on the blog Monday! We tried to write our Secret Paws a thank you note but we couldn't locate their email. We wanted them to at least know that their package arrived yesterday and today we opened it and I am one HAPPY KITTY!!!! You will find out who they are on Monday and we will thank them properly then. In the meantime we are happy to be pawticipating in the Feline Friday Blog Hop sponsored by Comedy Plus! 

Christmas Card Time!!

While reading blogs yesterday, we learned from the darling kitties, Peaches and Paprika that yesterday was Christmas Card Day

Cody is proud because so far (and usually every year), he received more cards than Dakota and he also receives more cards than his Dad and I do!!!

We have received a number of cards via email and a few have come via snail mail (THANK YOU!!). We want those of you who are on the list to know that our cards are addressed and ready to go, except for STAMPS! (It would help to have stamps, right?) I ordered stamps from Amazon a couple of weeks ago and was told they are on their way, so hopefully they will appear today and then I will get my cards out.

Until then, in case we missed anyone, feel free to grab either of these cards:

The card above will appear in Peaches and Paprika's Slide Show, and the one below is an oldie but goodie!!

Also, we will be posting photos of our ecards and hopefully our snail mail cards on Christmas Eve!!!

A Christmas Eve Thank You!

Hi everyone! It's Cody! I know those of you who are waiting for Santa to arrive are beside yourselves with excitement! Well, I am excited for you! I am living vicariously through all of you, wishing that fat jolly man in the red suit would visit MY house! Can't wait to read your posts about Christmas! While I am waiting, Mom and I wanted to thank each and every one of you for the FURBULOUS e-cards and snail mail cards that I received! Mom and I are deeply touched by the number of cards we received. THANK YOU!! Sit back and let me show them to you, Mom and I also listed the name of each blog listed (for the ecards) and we linked to you too! Why? Cause that's how we roll!
