Happy 5th Birthday, Senator Henry Jackson Edward Graves III!!!

Dearest peoples on the inndernets,

Well, this is me, Senator Henry Jackson Edward Graves III, speakin'.  Today is a momentious occassion...today is my birthday.  I am now officially 5 years old!  Peoples, this is a very important day...this is B.I.G....what with me bein' a very powerful Senator and all!  Shoot...I bet even the mail won't be delivered today.  I bet the banks will be closed.  I bet the trash man won't come git our trashes.  I bet schools will be closed.  The whole world will be celebratin' the fact that I came into the world 5 years ago today...

In honor of my very special day, I am gonna make poops on anything I want and mommy ain't allowed to fuss at me.  Wait a minute...I do that every day.  Let's see...how can i celebrate my very special day...?  Well, I guess I need to spend the normal amount of Senator time spent on senatorin' for my peoples...ya' know...like maybe 17 minutes/day.  And then, of course, I must take some naps.  Then, I will need to tend to my peoples...in particular, the female peoples...I guess I will kiss all them girl peoples in the Whiskers & Purrs Gang for 'bout 5 hours.  And then, well, I need to git some of my recreational nip on.  That's just got to take 'bout 7 hours.  Oh, and ya know I gots to do my duty and stare at myself in the mirror for 'bout 12 hours.  And, how could I forgit...I've gotta walk in a big circle and bark like a seal at the tops of my lungs.  What kind of a senator would I be if I didn't do that.

Well...I think you git the picture.  Today is a busy day for me...I'm gonna be sure to mix in a little bits of fun with all of my very important senatorin' duties.  Thanks for stoppin' by and sharin' my very special day.

Very truly yours,
Senator Henry Jackson Edward Graves III

The Bachelor

Dearest peoples on the inndernets,

This is me again...your Senator Henry Jackson Edward Graves III speakin'.  Because I am such a lovin' and romatical manly man, I catched the attention of the peoples on that TV show "The Bachelor".  They called me yesterday and asked if I wanted to be the next Bachelor.  Seein' as the most recent one was a big ol' weenie, I ain't so sure I wants to be on that show 'cause it could cause me to git very negative PR what with me bein' sucha powerful Senator and all...I gots to think 'bout it and consult my spiritual advisors.  I don't want me no bad karma and Lord knows I would have to break some hearts...

I will let y'all know very real soon.

Very truly yours,
Senator Henry Jackson Edward Graves III

The Senator: Showin' my love for my mommy

Dearest peoples on the inndernets,

This is Senator Henry Jackson Edward Graves III speakin'.  I have a heart warmin' story to tell you all.  See, I love my mommy.  I love her more than I love any mommy in the whole wide world.

Last night I decided to show my mommy the sheer magnitude of my love...and also impress you with the fact that I can type a big word like "magnitude".  So...I left her a little gift that would always make her think of ME...not any of the other Whiskers & Purrs Gang members...just me.  A gift that will live on forevers.  A gift that only I would go to the trouble to give her.

So...in the middles of the night last night, I sneaked downstairs and I got mommy's present all ready.  Once it was just perfects, I sneaked back upstairs and crawled up next to mommy.  I didn't want to let on like anything was outta the ordinaries in the mornin'.  I pritty much layed low.

It wasn't 'til mommy got to work that she found my present.  She had opened up her purse to git her liptsticks...within just a matter of seconds she found it...yes, my sweet friends on the inndernets, I tinkled in mommy's purse.  What better way to say "I Love You, mom" than to leave my very special purrrfumes in her favorite purse, ya know, the one she uses every single day of her life for ever and ever?  Mommy instantly thoughted of me when she got the whiff and she keeped thinkin' 'bout me all throughout the day as she was sittin' in her office.

I am a very thoughtful boy.

Very truly yours,
Senator Henry Jackson Edward Graves III

I gots lots to say!

Dearest peoples on the inndernets,

But, I can't spend no time sayin' all my stuff today 'cause I gots to take me a very important naps.

Very truly yours,
Senator Henry Jackson Edward Graves III

Boogers

Dearest peoples on the innernets,

This is Senator Henry Jackson Edward Graves III speakin'.  I just wanted to let everybody know that I have been attacked by an evil army of boogers.  Now with me bein' a Senator and all, this is very serious.  I have been tryin' real hard to fight them evil boogers off...I has been sneezin', coughin', wipin' 'em on mommy's sleeves and workin' hard at blowin' 'em outta my head.  So far it ain't workin' too good.  But I am a strong and loyal Senator and will keep fightin' the good fight.

Very truly yours,
Senator Henry Jackson Edward Graves III

Today is a good day to not be a turkey.

Dearest peoples on the innernets,

This is Senator Henry Jackson Edward Graves III speakin'.  Many many MANY years ago, my mommy's mommy used to sing a song to her at this time of year.  It went somethin' like this:

Thanksgivin' day was comin'
And Mr. Turkey said,
"I must be real careful, 'cause I may lose my head!"

The Pumpkin heard the Turkey
And said, "Oh me, oh my!"
"Mix me up with sugar and spice and I'll be pumpkin pie!"

I can say with all honesty that today would not be a good day to be a turkey or a pumpkin.  I'm glad I'mma cat.

Very truly yours,
Senator Henry Jackson Edward Graves III

Henry: What I know for sure

Dearest peoples on the innernets,

This is Senator Henry Jackson Edward Graves III.  As lots of y'all know, I have been real sick over the past two weeks.  We has all been skeert...'specially mommy.  It just ain't been no kinds of fun. Every time I starts to git better, I git sick again.   Although we ain't for sure, we think that maybe I am startin' to git better!  Ain't that wonnerfuls?

I still ain't eatin' food yet so mommy still has to syringe feed me...I will tell you a little secret...I kinda like gittin' my suppers that way.  First of all, mommy feeds me Hill's AD.  It is so dang DELISHUS!  It has already been chewed for me...all I gots to do is open up my mouth and let mommy put some of it on my tongue and then slurp it up...Mmmm...it's so good!  Plus, mommy holds me real close and kisses me the whole time she is feedin' me.  What's not to love 'bout that?

Although we don't know what has been wrong with me...there are some things that I knows deep down in my heart:

1.  I gots lots of good friends on the innernets that care 'bout me lots.

2.  My brothers and sisters in the Whiskers & Purrs Gang love me and give me head butts all the time to let me know they is worried.

3.  Already Been Chewed food is T.H.E. B.E.S.T!

4.  When I feel like crap, crawlin' up on mommy's lap is the best place to be on the face of this earth.

5.  And, the most important thing I know for sure is that, no matter what, I am not alone.  I am loved.

Thanks to everybody for carin' and sayin' prayers for me.  We will keep you updated on how I'm doin'.

Very truly yours,
Senator Henry Jackson Edward Graves III
