INDEPENDENCE!!!

freedom is furry important to kitties AND beans!
please remember those who gave it to us,
those who kept it for us,
and those who still protect it for us!!


we hope you has a safe, happy day!

just for the sake of our sanity . . .

NOTE: we are re-posting this one just as a test. this graphic image's href begins http://bp1.blogger . . . an' the one with the here-again-gone-again picture of mom begins wif http://bp3.blogger. if this one stays, we'll know it's DPB's server. we are just terminally curious about this. why not? we're cats!!*tee-hee* mom allus laughs at us an' tells us how lazy we are, specially onna weekends. she thought she'd keep the camera handy to get pictures of us sleepin', but guess what? she fell asleep, an' now we get to show you the view we see from her frontal appendages! scary, huh? we figger we'll hafta pay that guy named "hell" that she's allus threatenin' us with if we do somethin' she gets mad about, but we think this shot is worth it!

we's cornfused

we don't see the "mom's snoozin'" sunday picture today. does anyone else? is DPB on a bender again, or are we just silly? the html text says it's there, but we don't see it--but it's showing our little woofie-buddy, jake (who is recovering from parvo!). any thoughts on this selective picture showing?

sunday snooze . . . an' it ain't us!

NOTE: sometimes this picture is visible, sometimes it isn't. we think DPB is maybe having server trouble? has anycat had this problem before? we even tried re-posting anofur post, an' it doesn't show. phhhllllllllbbbbbbbt! (razzberry!)

wacky picture wednesday

this was k.c., the kitty who lived at the place where mom hunts during the day. she lived there for two whole years. she liked to sleep in drawers in funny positions. the kitty got out one evening when a bean came in late, an' was gone two whole days. the people at the next door hunting place found her in one of their trucks! that episode caused so much heartache for mom an' the ofur lady there who loved k.c. (miss nanet), that they:

1. stuck lots pins in a doll of the late-arriving bean;
2. spit on the late-arriving bean's shadow; an'
   
3. decided that though mom would miss k.c. turrible bad, miss nanet should take her to live full time at her house, where k.c. went on weekends so she wouldn't be lonely. (we already had four kitties here, an' it only brought nanet's herd up to three;-)

that was three years ago, an' people comin' in still ask where the kitty is--they remember her as being so furriendly an' nice. an' she was. mom still misses her.

toesie tuesday!

now here's a SUPER toesie tuesday for ya!

moovey monday: our DKM prize package!!

SOMETHIN', at last: rainy sunday

well, rainy for cocoa, at least:not understanding the process of getting in the rain box,

she filed a rather rigorous protest:

all that's left of her . . .

nah . . . she's just inna backyard, runnin' around like her butt's on fire, tryin' to dry off. but dad sez mom can HELP next time, insteada documenting the event!

more saturday . . . STILL nuffin'

ed's been on the DKM snuggle we winned for guessing san antonio in a "where in the world is DKM" contest a while back. it had acshul stalks of catnip rolled up in it, an' you know ed an' nip!
he hasn't moved off it for almost a week except to eat, drink, or go pee. when his sweetie, midnight teleported ofurr to visit, they dragged it into the laundry room an' put it onna fresh, hot laundry inna basket to cuddle in. boy, he knows howta treat his woman-cat right!

an' mom hadda good time last evening wif her friend, miss ginger. *smirkety-smirk-smirk!* in this picture, they'd already made away wif the mead, an' were tryin' to soak it up wif pizza!

wordless wednesday

torcher tuesday!!!!!

warning! may be too intense for some kitties!
'member we told you our mom & dad went to a pond on saturday? well, dad musta done something worse than mom did when she hadda squirt herself in the head!! they . . . oh, it's TOO turrible! . . . they . . . DRUG . . . HIM . . . THROUGH . . . WATER!!!!! . . . LOTSA water! for hours! an' hours!! it was dredful!! at times, he even seems to be laughing, but that's just proof that his mind became unhinged under torcher!!
the beans who met them at the big pond were people dad works with. we haf heard about THEM before, but nefurr anything this heinous. he was furry, furry quiet when they came home, an' movin' real slow. then he went to bed really early, before the sun was all dark.

an' ya know what? he WENT BACK TO WORK the next morning. we figger his brain got waterlogged an' he din't know any better. we pleaded wif him to stay home, but he jus' told us we'd already gotten our breakfast an' weren't gonna get any more. poor dad; he's just a sponge wif legs now. *sob* *whimper*

mystery monday

whose furs are these?

***well, hockey-darn. we thought this would be difficult. youse guys are too perceptive. mom thought because SHE couldn't guess, no one else would. we will put our thinking caps on an' come up wif a REAL mystery photo, by gum.***

sleepy sunday

it's been a sleepy day here at chez pierce. we 'nipped ourselfs into oblivion yesterday while the woofies were outside an' mom & dad were at the big pond. they all had a good time. we even has a moovey of the action at the pond for another day. but this is pretty much what we look like today:

breakfast with the meowers

we ALL got bits of buttered toast. it was yummy!

an' then mom an' dad went to a big pond with the floating machine tied on behind dad's maroon machine. they're gonna be gone all day, an' they the LEFT THE WOOFIES OUTSIDE!

they don't let us haf furriends ofurr when they're gone, but we're gonna PAR-TAY! amongst ourselfs!! we gots lotsa nip an' fev-ver toys an' we're gonna enjoy 'em to the fullest wifout worryin' whether cocoa or xena will eat them!! hope all you kitties has a great day!!

kittyup, you cayuse!

this is our bean furriend miss tesse's li'l cowboy, gabriel, an' his faithful, patient steed lucius. you will notice that gabe is furry fashun conscious--he an' his horsie has matching furs!

(veiled) threat thursday

back on mancat monday, my best frend, skeezix, asked if i'd gotten any action yet. yup, i had. right after mom snapped that picture, i heard an outside kitty jump up on the barbecue grill. the grill sits on the hard floor outside where the green machine lives, next to the window behind my dad's head when he sits in "his" chair.

always ready to rush into action, i took the shortest path between two points (floor to window). i learned some new words for the "don't say" list. it's not MY fault his head makes such a good springboard!

right after mom put the camera down--frustrated 'cause i couldn't maul, er, greet the outside kitty--i lashed my tail an' it smacked dad upside the head all the way to his nose. so he grabbed it . . . an' PUT THE BITEY ON IT! then HE learned some KITTY-words that are on the "don't say" list!! dang--i only put the tiniest of holes in his head, an' he fought back wif a whole mouthfulla teeth. not fair! they keep their bedroom door closed, so i couldn't even poop on his pillow! that's ok; you know what khan said about revenge. *kitty-smirk*

(meower mom sez: no cats were harmed in the episode described above. they only think they were.)
