I'm gonna try not to miss a day in September !!!!
Morning! We'll they're really gonna do it to me. I see my car seat going
in the truck. Gee and I can't even drive to the vet, even if I agree to
go. Mom says, yeah right, I know YOU Vincent, you'll take off in the
opposite direction and we'll miss our appointment. All I did was sneeze
and snot a little, it's not like this is a problem. I don't hurt or
nothin! And when I get back mom says I'm stuck in the office with the
bills! This is an outrage! Sam is trying to escape too. He hates to have
his eye pressure checked and he hates to have eye drops and he even
hates to ride in the truck. I like that, I can see out the window and I
like to wave at all the doggies and kitties we go by! Well I'll be back
later, probably with some kind of foul slime they're gonna start
cramming down my mouth. Sam and me is plotting ......

Been having unexpectedly high water bills lately?

It's really cool at night these days, huh? I think if I was in charge
of that I'd stir up night and day and make it just right all the time!!!
The hoomans are still talking summer and hot hot hot. But us aminals
knows better. We've already started eating more. Lots more. We, well
some of my friends, lose lots of our warm insulting lining in the summer
and our fur gets thinner and cooler too. And now we have to eat lots
more to build it back up. Please try to help me convince mom that I
lost my fat and really need to eat lots of cans of Fancy Feast to build
it back up!!! She says I look the same! We're all shedding like mad
now too - got to get the rest of that thin summer coat out so the thick
winter one can come in.
You know we really are a lot smarter than hoomans. We just eat and we
grow the right covering for the season! You have to worry and fuss and
muss about winter clothes and summer clothes. And it's so funny, you
actually think you're ... how do you say it? ... higher on the
evolutionary chain! He...he...he...
Lori: Do more than belong ~ participate. Do more than care ~ help. Do
more than believe ~ practice. Do more than be fair ~ be kind. Do more
than forgive ~ forget. Do more than dream ~ work at making a difference
on this planet we share ! Hoping you all have a productive week filled
with magical moments. ?´´¯`*? ? ?*´¯`•? o ? ? •

ok! Just tell me. I'm here to make you happy, just tell me how! If
