Does your life run on crock
pot time or microwave time?
When I was an itty bitty
kitten I’d watch Vincent run the refuge in his spare time ... he’d mosey along
... chow some nums ... and somehow always keep nums on the table for every one
.... he’d have some nums and answer like
14 thousand 11 hundred and 92 emails and then mosey out to nap in the sun ...
then have some nums and round up the funds to pay for six surgeries !!!!
And it all looked so
easy!!!
Since I had to take over,
like about a year ago, it seems like I gotz 3 seconds to do this and 2 for that
and if I get to stop in for nums in between anything I’m lucky. So that’s why I have to sleep next to the
nums bowl at night and wake up and eatz all night.
Don’t you believe no stuff
you hear from mom and da hoomans bout my belly being too big .... when Iz working at microwave speed for like
four dayz in a row with no breaks for nums .... I need that belly fat. So
I need you to help me tell her to STOP this diet. I’m just wasting away ....
I’ve lost three whole pounds and that’s a lot of ounces you know. It’s something like almost half a hundred
ounces and that’s a lot.
Is your to-do-list longer
than your tail or do you cruise the house bored looking for another place to
take a nap?
I keep finding things to add
to that to-do-list. Just seems to grow
every day, finding new things to do round here to keep making Rikki’s Refuge
better and better.
So tomorrow is called
Memorial Day in Merica here on Planet Earth.
That’s a day we are supposed to remember all the hoomans and other
critters too, who worked so hard and sometimes even died to make Merica a free
and safe place for all of us to live.
Thank you hoomans for all your work and all you gave. I preciate you muchly.
Memorial Day was first
officially observed on May 30 in 1868 .... that was a very very long time ago
... when flowers were placed on the
graves of Union and Confederate soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery. The northern states recognized Memorial Day
long before the southern states joined in ... until after World War I .. when
those lost were remembered along with those lost in the Civil War ... and it
became a time to remember those lost in all wars.
In 1915 Moina Michael had
the idea of selling red poppies on Memorial Day in honor of those who died. The tradition caught on and spread from
country to country.
Red poppies makes me think
of red kitties. Lots of folks call us
Orange Tabbies “red”. We’re not really
that dark ... but that’s ok. I think
RED is easier for hoomans to say then ORANGE.
And did you know where TABBY
comes from? The word "tabby"
derives from a striped silk cloth made in Attabiyah, a neighborhood of Baghdad
in Iraq.
AND I’m an Orange Tabby
!!!!!
And I hope you’re having a
great Memorial Day Weekend !!!!
Love you bunches,
Opie and Timmy
