Nuff said ;)

Queen Chani

I am Chani! Queen of all I survey. Bow down before ME, peasants! Muwahahaha!

Just kidding. I just like hanging out up high. But, I wouldn't mind if you made an offering of tuna again.

Oh my goodness!!!

Tonight, Mom gave us a special treat. Tuna! This was Q's favorite treat and Mom had never given us any before.

Chani who usually doesn't eat all her food just couldn't get enough tuna. (Ewww... don't look at our water dish, it's pretty disgusting. Mom changed it out right after taking the picture. And she wants to point out that we always have fresh water in the bathroom to drink... No wonder we always drink out of that bowl instead of this one. Mom's not sure how we get it so disgusting.)

I couldn't get enough tuna either. I even tried to get some of Chani's, but Grandpa chased me off. I can't help it if I eat faster than Chani does!

Nom nom nom nom nom nom nom. Please note our very happy tails.

Hmmmm... Chani sure cleaned her plate! And so did I!

Now, what was the special occasion? Well, today is our FIRST GOTCHA DAY! Yes, we have been with Mom for a whole year. Isn't it amazing how fast time flies? We have to say that we are pretty darn happy living with Mom (and Grandpa and Grandma). Life for Mom has been full of ups and downs in the past year or so, but she has to admit that we are definitely the best and highest part. She loves us so much! And we love her too.

We can't wait to see what happens in the next year and what changes are coming up. And of course, we are so happy to know all of you in blog land and can't wait to share our adventures with you.

purrs, headbutts and nose-kisses,
9 and Chani!

V-E-T

Today, Mom took Chani and me to nice Dr. Saito to get our vaccinations. Chani sang the whole way to the office while I was a good, quiet boy. At the office, Mom had to pull us out of the carriers. I explored, Chani tried to stay in the carrier.

Before Dr. Saito came in, Mom weighed us. I was 10.8 lbs! Yes, I'm a big boy, but not as big as Q who came before... He was 16 lbs at his heaviest according to Mom. Chani weighed in at 9.8 lbs.

Dr. Saito came in and knelt down to get one of us to come over to her. I won! I was a brave boy today. At any rate, I got examined and was given a clean bill of health and got two shots. I didn't complain once! Though, I was a bit wiggly when I got my temperature taken. Good thing Mom held me hehe... Dr. Saito admired my black paw pads.

Now, Chani was a good girl too. But something odd happened. When Dr. Saito weighed her, the scale said 10.2 lbs! How is it possible for my little sisfur to gain 4/10 of a pound in the course of a few minutes. Mom was very confused. I think Chani has magic powers.

Chani got examined and received her shots. However, one of her ears was very waxy. So, she had to go into the back. Mom and I waited a bit and then a vet tech came in carrying Chani. She put Chani into her carrier (I had already climbed back into mine. I was totally ready to go home!) Dr. Saito came in a few minutes later and said Chani was a good girl, but after she got her ear cleaned, she hid her head in the vet tech's jacket. This made Mom go all gooey at the thought of this cuteness and just how sad Chani was.

At any rate, we are both very healthy and doing very well. Mom says that tomorrow is a special occasion and we might get a special treat. She also promises to post pictures tomorrow as she didn't take any of us today... How wrong is that?

purrs to all!

Friday Frolics

Chani is resting up for the weekend

Hope everyone has a happy weekend!

9 on the laundry

I love adding the requisite amount of fur to Mom's clean clothes. Purrrr... Now can you take the flashy box thing away so I can get my beauty rest? Kthxbai

The NEW best seat in the house

Aaaaaah... this seat is sooo nice and warm! How nice of Grandma to warm it up for me. I just love lying in a nice warm seat... purrrrrrr.

What do you mean that Grandma didn't warm it up for me and that she wants to sit here again and knit? Nope! She did it for me!!! Grandma looooves me even though I always mew in complaint at her when she tries to tickle my toesies.
