CAMERA CRITTERS - Bob and Blackie's Gotchaversary celebration Feb 7 2009

Hello, Bob here! Today we are celebrating early our "Gotchaversary!" That's the day that our mommy and daddy brought us home to live in our forever home. Our special date is February 12, but we didn't want to wait until next week to post, so here I am.






We also were tagged by our friend Trooper who asked us to talk about where we were 1 year ago today. Well, 1 year ago today, my little brother Blackie and I were living at the San Diego Humane Society (the one where that lady Joan Kroc gave money to) and were waiting to meet our new mommy and daddy. See, our previous parents didn't want us anymore. We don't know why.. it just happened. So we were taken to this nice place at the Humane Society in early January, where we were given a lot of love by all the peoples there, and given a really pretty room to live in. We got to sit in a window and look at all the other peoples looking for new kitties and doggies to take home.

So that is where we were 1 year ago today. Waiting to meet our new mommy and daddy! When mommy and daddy finally found us, they KNEW we were their new kitties. Even the social worker said that she could tell that mommy and daddy knew we were special kitties.

So, on February 12, mommy came to take us home. She couldnt' walk very well that day, because she had fallen down and spraint her ankle, but all the helpers helped her put us in the car. She couldn't carry blackie because he was way too big!

So, now it's almost a year since that day we came to our new forever home.

There's blackie, who is now very happy to be living here. He used to be very nervous,and would not let any one touch him or hug him or kiss him. Now, he even runs to daddy and will jump in his lap once in a blue moon! and he loves to be held and kissed and hugged. Talk about a changed kitty!


Here's the new toy that mommy bought for us (using a gift card that our cousins Emily and Zachary gave us for Xmas!) - i think we're supposed to sit on it and scratch it. We're not too sure. Blackie doesnt' like it yet, but I play on it sometimes...




Oh oh.... here comes blackie............ he sometimes is mean to me when I want to play with mommy...... oh oh..........









Ouch... sometimes we get really mad at each other.. but that's what brothers do......



I guess blackie is mad at me now...





But no one can stay mad at me for very long.....

So, that's our story... we are very happy here, with a mommy and daddy that loves us very much, who promises that this is now our forever home...

HAPPY GOTCHAVERSARY DAY!

Bob,

Bob here,
I don't understand why mommy keeps putting more of that paper stuff in the hallway. Blackie keeps tearing up stuff and daddy gets mad, but mommy knows how much blackie loves to play in it. So, she found some more old wrapping paper stuff and put it in the hallway. Here's what happend:




he's such a silly kitty!



Instead of playing catch and baseball with mommy (yes, he likes to run around and the wrapping paper is his home plate), he now runs to the paper and then goes INSIDE it... he thinks mommy can't see him but she can.. hehe! blackie won't move at all, except his tail makes noises when he's happy... every time she says BLACKIE! , his tail moves....

Ok, that's the end of my story.

Bob.

Blackie here,


Here is a typical evening when the weather is cooler... Papa is sleeping on the couch (pretending to watch that box they call the tv) and here is Bob, sleeping with him.


See how happy Bob looks? He's on his favorite blankies!


It's like they can sleep there all day....

I'm too busy to sleep like that! too many things to do...


Love, Blackie

Blackie here,

As you can see, Here I am with my favorite toy, what mommy calls "wrapping paper". I like to hide in it. Remember my pictures from before?Well, this is what it looks like now.. mommy wants to throw the paper away because it is so sad looking, but she knows how much i love to play with it...






Love, Blackie


Ps - Bob is feeling so much better since last time he was here at the blog. This is an older picture, but trust me, Bob is no longer sneezing and is being his old self again.

Blackie here! Mommy took these photos of me sleeping and wanted me to tell you all the story - she said that i was fast asleep on bob's blankie, and that all of a sudden i started to make sucking noises... she says i do this a lot, that i dream that i'm sucking on bob! (I used to suckle on bob all the time, until he told me NO MORE!).

Here's a close up...



Here's a photo of me and Bob. Bob just came home from the vet again. This time he had to get an asthma shot. Mommy says he seems much better now. In this photo we are spending time together, as we are best friends. Mommy missed a photo op when me and Bob were touching heads and we were holding paws....


Ok, that is all for today.

Love, Blackie

Bob here,

Mommy took me to the vet the other day because i have been acting sick for several weeks. I feel better these days but Mommy was still worried and wantd to be sure i was ok. the doctor poked and prodded me and they took xrays and blood and i had to pee for them. I was kind of scared but mommy brought my blankie with me so I was happy with it while we waited in the room.

When i got home Blackie was waiting for me. He knows i've been sick and has been nicer to me (he even let me beat him up). This is a photo of us when i got home. I was tired, so Blackie came to me and lay with me and watched over me. He is a good brother.

Hi, Blackie here!

Last weekend Mommy and Daddy came home with some gifts for me and Bob. They expected us to share, but it looks like I claimed the new scratching post thingy that you see me sitting on. Mommy and Daddy think it's too small for me, but I think i fit just perfectly!







Then, Bob decided he wanted the new tent for himself. I peeked my head in, but I think that's too small for me. Plus it's in Bob's part of the house so I thought i better not go in, in case he beats me up.










Well, this is it for this week.

Love, Blackie

Hi, Blackie here!

It's another Saturday evening, and I am forced to think up a Camera Critters post. I have to admit, every day Bob and I do the same thing. One of our favorite things to do is hang out in the patio. Here's some photos!



This first one is of me sitting near the glass door.



And here's one of Bob sitting on top of the couch. I think his tongue is sticking out!

Mommy is taking the photo of us through the glass door, that's why it looks funny.

Anyway, we spend a few hours every day after breakfast sitting in the sun out here in the patio room. It is enclosed, so no scary animals (like the next door neighbor's cat) can beat us up. It is also very warm and we like to take naps in here! The past few days it has rained (water comes out from the sky) so that was kind of neato to watch.

Well, that is it for this weekend.

Love, Blackie

Hi everyone, Blackie here!

Mommy had a friend visit on Friday and she took so many photos of me. her name is Sandy and she lives in Pittsburgh, but she comes to California at least once a year to visit someone or other. Friday she came to visit me! Well, ok, she came to visit mommy, but mommy also wanted Sandy to meet me and Bob. here is me in Daddy's arms while Sandy tries to pet me.

Here's a photo of Mommy and Sandy, and do you see sneaky Bob in the background? He always has to get into the picture!



Ok, that's it for this week. Sorry it wasn't more exciting. Mommy is always catching me lying on my back, so she keeps taking the same photo over and over... she always misses when i'm playing with my bags (I like to hide my head in them and move around) or chasing my favorite toys. She thinks I'm must like a doggy, always running and fetching my toy and then I bring it to her!

Ok, talk to you all later...

Love, Blackie
