Formal Sunbathing

Rain, rain, come to stay!

Ollie however dreams of sunny days and beach babes!

Ornj Magic in fur and scales!

Some friends are travelling over seas to teach for a time.

They needed someone to babysit Linus their pet Corn Snake.

We said yes immediately  and when they brought him 0ver we knew it was meant to be!

He's lovely and docile. Ollie was indifferent and didn't  mind Linus coming in for a snuggle.

Happy New Years!

Merry Christmas from alla us!

And I got to use my favorite ribbon!

It's 4 ft tall. 

Ornj rules!

And tulips in December.

Under Construction

As you all may know (since I seem to live on facebook and see most of you there) this has been a long year indeed.

Ms Stella left April 17th.  Two weeks later to the day, April 24th (3 days after her diagnosis of lung cancer) my mom died.

In September we had to let Miss Scraps go due to her quickly failing health.

So I find myself wanting to share my Secret Paws news and realize it's been since July that I've posted last.

I need to completely revamp the blog.  My Ollie deserves it.  We have had a foster kitten come back to live here after her adoption nearly a year ago.  Little mezzer Misty girl.  And completely had a 'Foster Fail' in Master Bruce (who my daughter and her boyfriend adopted  the moment he was brought into the house. (I was just to 'cat sit' him for a few days till his permanent foster could be found.

HAHAHAHAhahahahhahahahhahahah!!!!

And so it goes.

I want to rename the thing and use a different email log on but can't see how without starting completely over.  But maybe that's a good thing. I still love to blog and seem to do very well with micro-blogging on facebook.  But facebook will never be this place.  So I will re do it and make it more comfortable for alla us and hopefully alla you too.

Thanks for reading and hangin in with us during this difficult period.

Be back soon!

Ode to Ms. Stella

Sun on my fur

scents on the air

Birds chirp, wheel and zip!

Leaves crackle and blow

I am instinct and action

 blood and bone

no quarter given

the thrill of chase

capture and consume

I am lithe, elegant and graceful

 Quirky, goofy and ridiculous

the crook of my tail

the tilt of my head

the swiveling of my ears

immutable

irreverent

inscrutable

My coat is invisible

my eyes disappear 

Tiger!

Lion!

Cheetah!

I am all 

and I am none

but I was briefly

Ms. Stella O'Houligan 

Boxing Day (fail)

Lucky 13!

Ollie: "I win the interwebs!!! I entered Miss Nellies 'finish the sentence' game (so what if I entered every single time?) and I was THE CHOSEN ONE!"

Miss Jack: "Oh Cod, the'll be no livin with him now!"

Miss Scraps:  "What? Seriously?  Like there was livin with him before?"

Ollie: "That's right ladies and this here certificat says you gotta know now that I AM the King of alla you!  And I gots this way coolio crown too!"  

        *looks at mom* "is it still on my head? it's on my head right?" 

Mom: "Yes Ol it's on your head ya big Ornj goof. But I don't think it gives you license to be mean or lord it over the girls." 

Ollie: "They just gotta be nice to be now no matter how much lice I got, or whatever.  And I'm a Viceroy too; King Spitty says so.  Now I just need a Lord to waive over them. Must be some kinda stick or something.Wonder if I can get that on amazon?  

Thanks Miss Nellie! If you was here I'd kiss you!

Hi! I'm Zack!

I yousta live wif That Woman's mom.  But hers got really sick. And even tho I visited hers in the weird smellin place, she didn't get better and didn't come home.

Its ok tho on accounta I know my VERY LOUD PURRS was all vibratin on her and she feeld 'em. She's livin wif Ms Stella now.  That Woman says theres two old cantankerous broads rasin 'you know what' cept I dont really know what on accounta I dont like rasins.

So then there was a looong dark and kinda scardey ride (it's ok-I meowed to That Woman so she wouldn't be scared and she singed to me in the car) and then I was here.

You can sees I'm not myself even layin on That Woman's pillow an all. Like right next to her there. On her pillow...and I'm a kinda droolie since I don't gots one of my fangs. I ain't let her see which one tho! Heeehehe.

So wees gettin to know each other and in betweens we cry together and her brushies me reall good too! I only yacked a little bit when I first was here last night cos I was so nervous wif all the other cat smells in this room. I even can see some cats under the door and I hissey faced 'em so they know I'm not a big baby.

Imma full breeded rag doll and imma BIGBOY! like 18 poundes. Whatever that means. That Woman says I gotta cut back on treats alla time.  But not just yet. She says we iz both stress eating but I dunno what that is either cuz I never tasted a stress and I think I would remember eatin a bunch of somfin like dat.  Or maybe not.

So I lives here now and I reeeealy hopes I can be friends wif the other kitties and we can all share the bed together pretty soons.  But not the same pillow.
