Very worrieds...

Dearest peoples on the innernets,

This is all of us speakin'. We are all very real worrieds.  Our sweet Mazie Grace seems to be havin' troubles with her eyeballs again.  In case you are new to our bloggy, see...our Mazie Grace was borned blind as a bat.  Her eyeballs just wouldn't work.  So Unkle Doktor Blair operated on her once, and then twice and then finally a third time.  After her third eyeball operation, Mazie Grace could see!!!  Oh, how happy she was and we all was so thankfuls!  Them nice people from TLC was with us when she had her last eyeball operation.  It was very real dramaticals!

But now...well...over the past couple of days, mommy has been noticin' her not bein' able to see things so well...walkin' into stuff and fallin' sometimes on the stairway.  It hurted mommy's heart.

So...mommy called Unkle Doktor Blair.  He called Mazie Grace in some eyeball drops at the bean drug store...she has to take them drops every single day in both eyeballs.  She is a very real good girl 'bout takin' her eyeball medicine.  Not all of us can say we would be that good...

Please say a prayer for our sweet girl, 'kay?  She really had lotsa funs bein' able to see!   These past few months have been very real sad in the Whiskers & Purrs House.  What with mommy's mommy bein' so awfully sick and all...and then the stress of rescuin' Eddie, Thelma Louise and Little Joey...well...we don't think any of us need for more sad news like Mazie Grace havin' troubles with her eyeballs.  Any prayers you good peoples on the innernets might be able to spare sure would be appreciated.

Very truly yours,
The Whiskers & Purrs Gang 

A Very Important Day

Dearest peoples on the innernets,

This is Madam Top Cat Elsie Fallulah Graves speakin'.  Today is a very important day in the Whiskers & Purrs House.  Two years ago today, our sweet Miss Lucy Margarite had to leave us to go to heaven.  We sure do miss her.  She was the best big sister that has ever been.  You can read more 'bout Miss Lucy here.  She was a wonnerful wonnerful girl and does a good job watchin' over us from heaven.

Lucy was my best friend.  I loved her.  Back when I was a bottle baby, I tooked one look at her and said "I look just like her...she is gonna be my momma cat!"...but, at first, Miss Lucy hated my guts...I mean to tell you, she hated every single thing 'bout me.  It tooked 'bout 2 years before Lucy agreed to be my friend and my momma cat.  Once she finally accepted me, well...we was inseparable.  Well, at least we was inseparable until she had to go to heaven. 

I just gots me a few words I wanna say to my sweet Lucy...

"Dear sweet Lucy, I miss you more than you could ever know.  You was the best big sister a girl could ever ever have.  It's 'cause of all you teached me that I was selected to be the new Top Cat...ain't no way I could've been this successfuls without you and all that you teached me 'bout bein' the boss, sweet Lucy.  Even though you hated my guts at first, we got to be real good friends .  I miss you lickin' the insides of my ears...I swear I don't think my ears have been nearly as clean since you went away. I don't unnerstand why your liver had to go kerflewy...mean ol' liver...what does it know, aways?  And, Lucy...mommy misses you so much.  Even though you have been in heaven for two whole years, well...she still cries 'cause she misses you so much.  Just know that no matter what, you are still my best friend and you will always be a part of the Whiskers & Purrs Gang."

Today we is gonna spend the whole day just thinkin' 'bout Lucy and all she teached us.  As all of you wonnerful peoples on the innernets are goin' 'bout your business today, take just a few minutes to think 'bout the special little kitties and wolfs that you have loved.  Maybe you can send them all a little special thought today while they is waitin' for you in heaven.  Let them know you still love 'em, 'kay?

Very truly yours,
Elsie Fallulah Graves & all of the Whiskers & Purrs Gang

Good News!

Dearest peoples on the innernets,

This is all of us speakin'.  Guess what?  We gots good news the other day!  Last week when mommy was in San Francrisco, she gotted a call from the rescue group that taked Eddie the Dog for us.  Eddie the Dog was adopted by a wonnerful elderly couple!!!  The man told mommy that Eddie was already bein' spoiled rotten!!!  Ain't that wonnerful news?

We are so proud 'cause in the past month, we have founded homes for Thelma Louise Graves, Eddie the Dog and Little Joey Cartwright Graves III.  We are very thankful that everything has worked out for these little furry ones!

Now we have to be honest...we did not care for Eddie 'cause we all knowed he wanted to eat us for a snack.  BUT...that was just the way mother nature made him.  He was a real good doglet and mommy falled in love with him real hard.  She is so thankful for that wonnerful couple that adopted Eddie. 

Eddie, we do not miss you but mommy sure does...just know that we would've gived you a home with lotsa love if we could have.  But...you are in doglet paradise.  Live long and stay well, sweet boy.

Very truly yours,
The Whiskers & Purrs Gang

Introducin'...Little Joey Cartwright Graves III

Dearest peoples on the innernets,

Well, little Baby Boy has finally telled us what his name is...it sure did take him long enough!  See...his markin's make it look like he has a saddle on his back.  That must mean he's a rough and tough cowboy!...But...he sure is a little tiny squirt.  He only weighs 8.5 ounces!  So...because he's a tough cowboy and a real heartbreaker but just a tiny little fella, his name is Little Joey Cartwright Graves III.  Now if you don't know who Little Joe was...you can find out more 'bout him here.

We wanted to let you know that Little Joey has finded a forever home!  He will be goin' to live with our neighbors forever and ever but not until he's a couple of months old.  Until then, he'll be campin' out with us and be a Mommy Hog...that is the one thing we do not like 'bout Little Joey...he steals our mommy way too much.  We do not know if his name will stay Little Joey but as long as he is a member of the Whiskers & Purrs Gang, he will be Little Joey Cartwright Graves III.

Anyways...here he is in all of his glory demonstratin' what he learned this week...he's startin' to be able to walk and he can see and hear a little bit now.  Mommy says she thinks maybe he is brilliant!

We hope you enjoyed seein' Little Joey.  Please say a prayer he keeps doin' so good and maybe will stop bein' such a Mommy Hog!

Very truly yours,
The Whiskers & Purrs Gang

Reflections on becomin' National TV Stars...

 

Dearest peoples on the innernets,

Well...our big TV show aired just a little bits ago.  We are all so happy and relieved!  We thoughted it went real good and we are so thankful that all of them very super nice peoples from Pink Sneaker Productions and the kind peoples from The Learning Channel crossed paths with us. 

Aunt Sara, you are so kind and willin' to take time to rub our tummies and talk with us.  You're also very good at what you do.  Please tell Jude we are sayin' prayers for him every single day, 'kay?  Unkle Mark, we think you are the coolest person in the whole dang world!  You are so creative and funs.  Thank you so much for tellin' our story in such a compellin' and thoughtful way.  Unkle Warren, you is the best dang camera guy that has ever been in the whole dang world!  And, since you live in Charlottesville, please wave at us as you drive through Richmond, 'kay?  We like you very much lots.  Unkle Eric, you were so kind and good to us, too.  And, Unkle Shawn, thank you for coming with the crew for the 2nd visit.  We enjoyed havin' you all in the Whiskers & Purrs House, even if the visits was very shorts.

Now...here are some things we observed in tonight's show:

1. Mommy sounds like Ellie May Clampett, Loretta Lynn and Dolly Parton all rolled into one.  This is not necessarily a good thing.
2. Fergie licked her stuff not once but twice on national television and looked right smack dab into the camera while she was doin' it. 
3. Senator Henry Jackson Edward Graves III was catched right on camera sniffin' nip and wasted.  Senator, there will probably be a Senate 'vestigation into your activities...what was you thinkin'?
4. We have now been National TV Stars for 'bout an hour now and...well, we gots to be honest...WE LIKE IT!

Thanks to everybody that made the show and everybody that watched it!  We are thankfuls for you all!

Very truly yours,
The Whiskers & Purrs Gang

Watch us on TV!!!

Dearest peoples on the innernets,

This is all of us speakin'.  Well...it's time for our big-ass freaky-deeky announcement!.  The TV documentary that we telled ya'll 'bout back in the spring is gonna air this comin' week.  We are very nervous 'cause we ain't seen it yet.  We really like them people that came to our house with them big ol' cameras and lights and stuff.  Unkle Mark, Aunt Sara, Unkle Warren and Unkle Eric...they was all lotsa funs and we actually hated to say goodbye to them.  We was real excited when they came back for a 2nd visit and filmed us more!  That was great funs! 

Mommy says this could go one of two ways...we could either look like good peoples that are just tryin' to help other little ones OR we could look like ignorant doofusses.  We don't want our mommy to look like a weirdo freak. We know there are people that are gonna think she is weird and we don't really keer 'bout that.  We just hope our message of doin' the right thing when it comes to homeless animals is communicated.  We agreed to be in the show for the right reasons and we didn't git nothin' like green papers or anything so...if it turns out that we look goofy or people make fun of us well...at least we tried.

There are lotsa peoples in the world that like to pass judgement on others...don't matter if you have a house full of cats or look a certain way or believe a certain way...there are people that think they are important enough to decide that you is wrong or weird or crazy...them judgemental peoples are really ignorant and are a big part of what's wrong with the world today.

Anyways...please say a prayer that this turns out in such a way that maybe we will help people to think twice and actually do somethin' when they see a homeless little person like all of us used to be...if you git a chance, watch us on Wednesday night and let us know what you think!

Very truly yours,
The Whiskers & Purrs Gang
