Tuesday Telling…

Hiya! Savannah Here!

I am sure you are still wanting to see some more of Dad and Mom’s trip to Mexico…after all…they probably saw the whole country like 5000 times; they were gone long enough!

Mom asked me this morning…(we girls had a morning together working in bed)…”Savvy honey? What do you want to share next?”…

…and I was like…”huh??…I’m napping here!….what do you want Mom?”…

…just tell me which photos you want me to share with your furriends…”Ok, ok, how’s about the water stuff…now can I get some sleep?”…

Finally after I picked out some water shots, she let me snuggle back nice a close so I could keep her warm…heh…heh…

Here are some water photos…you can click on them to bigify…

…at first the ocean looks like this…all calm and inviting…

…then you see this swell…and notice the red flag?…it always flies on all beaches in Cabo…rip currents abound (VBP) and powerful under tow…

…then the wave reaches it full height…Dad thought the biggest ones they saw were about 7 feet (wonder how many paws that would be????)…

…and starts to break at the top…Dad was in one of these…thank Cod he is a really strong swimmer…

…Mom got scared when he was out there even when he was always with other people…but he was smart enough to NOT SWIM when the waves got this powerful…

…then that night, this is the view over the infinity pool all the way to the ocean…so calm again…

…”MOM!!!…I thought I told you what I wanted for today already!…what?…ok, ok…let me see the draft”…

…”now let me get back to my planning my Garden report for Jonesie for Thursday…I can use the iPad…just leave it here with me…now…go post, OK?!”…

Sheeesh…can’t she do anything without checking with me first???

Monday Meowsie News from FBI Agents Savannah and Kozmo

Hiya! Savannah Here!

As many of you already know, I am an official FBI Agent (Feline Bureau of Investigation) and known inside the agency as Agent 0.17…and I have a reputation as a ladycat with some international experience.

So it is amazing to me that my snoopervisor, Agent Kozmo , has never called on me to help with his recent troubles in locating his catnapped girl furriend, Callie (given her whining I can’t imagine why he would try to find her, but each to his own…).

Anywho, I was hanging out on our bed this week, playing a fitness video on my iPad (gives me new moves for my fitness recovery program)

…I really like doing floor workouts…

…then, I heard my incoming email bell.  I quickly checked…and Holy Catfish! It was a message from FBI HQ!!!

 I quickly shut down my game and read the message…it was about some dude flying in from China names Xui Ooi, bringing 6 of his wives and 16 kittens with him.  Hmmmmm…wonder why that matters????  Anyways, HQ tells me that Agent Kozmo will be in touch with more information.

 Then I hear the incoming email ping again…IT’S KOZMO! FINALLY!…

…he has more leads about Callie’s catnapper…all he has known up ‘til now is that it is one of Nellie’s exe’s who likes eggrolls.

Oh Cat! Kozmo tells me that this dude, Xui Ooi, arrived in the USA about a week before Callie went missing and he was actually IN HOUSTON the day she disappeared!!!…(wipes brow…starting to perspire(vocab builder project VBP)…

Koz tells me to get to San Francisco lickity split…(is that fast???)…and try to like hang out with the wives.

So I grab a ticket at my local BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) train station…

… and stroll through the entrance…

…casual like…no hurry…can’t draw any attention…

Then I go straight to the Mandarin Oriental where Xui Ooi and his family are hanging out; they have a Signature Mandarin King Suite…hmmmm…now I know Callie would just luvluvluv that…hmmmmm…wonder who made that reservation????

Anyways, sorry for the digression…I know Kozmo has already been in San Francisco with Agent Spitty  but to no avail…sigh..

So I decide to go undercover to the spa close to the Mandarin Oriental Hotel…hoping to meet one of the wives…and SUCCESS!!!  Ariva shows up for a mani, pedi…and we have a nice long cat chat…

We agree to have a shopping spree together with a couple of the other wives the next day, so I grab a hotel room in San Francisco, at the Mark Hopkins.  Then the next day  we meet up outside Neiman Marcus to do some serious shopping!

 We all just luvluvluv designer stuff…and the FBI approved a $4000 USD expense for maintaining my cover…WOO HOO…ahem…I mean…I just had to spend, right???…to keep my cover, right???

And then I take the wives to my fave BLING shopping spot…TIFFANY’S!!

…well!!…who knew what coincidences were happening!…I get back to my room…and Kozmo has sent me a photo taken from a store security cam…and guess where it was taken???? and who was in it????? Go on, guess????…(tapping nail up, down, up, down…waiting for readers to guess…)

…OK…here it is!!!….

…CALLIE!! Efurrybody knows she is addicted to BLING and look at her…trying to go unnoticed in that little hot pink hat number…and check out the dude in front of her….hmmmmmm….betcha’ Nellie will recognize him…maybe even Kozmo will!

So, I arrange for Xui and his two wives Ariva and Phi to meet with me and my husband (Koz in undercover role) at the Mandarin Brasserie for niptinis, shaken not stirred.  I hope that Kozmo can detect whether or not Xui has Callie or perhaps aided in her abduction (VBP).

Being the skilled and experienced international ladycat agent that I am…when we meet Xui, I present him with my personal identification card (no, I was not dumb enough to give him my FBI ID! sheesh!)…Xui is stunned that I show him honor by using the proper wayof presenting my card…I hold the two top  edges in my paws, with the writing facing Xui and present it to him as I bow…then I use my paw, NOT JUST ONE CLAW, to direct them all over to the table I have reserved…(pretty cool huh?!)

Poor Kozmo, he is so overcome and distraught…he BREAKS COVER and blurts out to Xui ”why did you scruff my Callie like some dirt bag catnapper???”…I reach over and stroke Koz’ ruffled hackles and smooth his tail back to its proper size…then Xui speaks…

“I only remember Peni from years ago on a ski trip to Whistler…I asked her to be my 3rd wife then and she turned me down…she was not yet ready to settle down…then she left me”.

So, I thanked Xui and Ariva and Phi, and Koz and I headed back across the bay on BART to my place.

Back to the iPad and more research…poor Kozmo had another dead end to face and still no idea of Callie’s current whereabouts…Kozmo finally hopped into my transportation vortex, decidedly more creative than his,  and headed home…(whispers behind paw…he was so anxious I had to whisper encouragement in his ears as he left…and he squuueeeed in worry over Callie…)

I grabbed some much needed shut eye in my office bed…whew…what a whirlwind few days…and my first ever FBI assignment!!!

Thank Ceiling Cat!!!…Easy Like On Sunday…

Hiya! Savannah Here!

Guess you all figured it out by now…my blog posts will suffer in content, creativity and PHOTOS OF ME!!…during the time Mom and Dad have ” HOUSE GUESTS”…(like…seriously…who the…invited them!  Certainly NOT ME!)

At least I managed to have a really nice, looooooonnnnnggggggg nap this morning…because they went off with their HOUSE GUEST for breakfast (no, I was NOT invited)…and so at least I had time to myself to ponder (vocab builder project VBP) my state of being…and ask myself questions such as …”why, oh why did I let them have access to a phone or my internet so they could issue invites“….

…pondering the need for Mom and Dad having phone or internet access…

OH!! You must be wondering why I am seemingly asleep??!!….noooooo…not at all…remember…I am “pondering…”…and please notice they left me an “UNMADE BED”…shock!!!…horror!!!…how could they leave me with rumpled bedding…(heh heh…that was my plan all along, of course…)

Of course what they did this morning, not wanting to tell me…but as all of you know……I READ LIPS!!…what?…you don’t think so???…why, just ask any cat…we all do!!

…anyways…they went to get the keys to our new home…and I am sure they were checking out exactly where I will want my feeding station and my two litter boxes…and they had to measure to make sure my space would be sufficient for all of that and of course, my Bird Watching Tower, my Office Bed, and so on….

…then later… I had time to focus on my blog posts for the next several days…and of course, I also had to fret (vocab builder project VBP) about the fact that I will most likely NOT BE GRANTED access to my iPad or my laptop so I can visit all my furriends and their blogs and respond to all my Tweets…the nerve of Mom and Dad…sigh…

Did you notice how disturbed I am that they left me all alone…after getting the keys, they went to something called a “moovee”…must have been a lot of cows I guess???…

That is how my Sunday Easy Went…hope yours is just as stress free…Paw Pats, Savannah

peeEss THANK YOU SO MUCH ALL YOU DOGGIES FOR VOLUNTEERING! THE MORE THE MERRIER!

AND I CAN USE A COUPLE MORE CATS TOO…just wonderin’ if anyone else wants to pawticipate…

Saturday Hunting…

Hiya!  Savannah Here!

I’ve been having some really great aerobic workouts with a new toy. I learned about this toy from one of my bestest girl furriends Cathy Keisha, Stunning Keisha, ‘cuz talked about these totally cool Pheasant Feather Toys on a post a while back…and guess what??!!…YES!! Thanks to you, CK, Mom bought me some….

Another great thing I do with Mom is use the Pheasant Feather Toy for some really good core strength building, not just aerobic…we play on our carpeted stairs…and I pull myself using my upper body and abs along the stair to chase the feather(ladycats need a nice 6 pak too!)….and I work my gluts and quads ‘cuz I also push myself along the stair.

Carpeting is key for this workout ‘cuz ya need to be able to sink those claws into the carpet to get leverage…whew…

…getting a good taste of the feather always is essential for me to build my focus…

..now some warm up work using just upper body…good for paw to eye coordination…

…now the stair work…here is where I get really serious about dedding the feather…ROAR!!!…

…smack, whack…munch, munch…

…yuummmm…tasty…hey, Mom?…I think I may need a new one next workout, OK??!!…

And that my furriends is how this cat did her Saturday Hunting…a real work out for ladycats and mancats…if you are up to it….meowwwwwww….that’s a challenge to all you napping cats…

…speaking of that….yawnnnn…hmmmm….ahem, koff, koff….maybe I will just see if there are some morning sun puddles with my name on them…zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

peeEss…I know I am now 3 days behind…purrlease forgive me…I will be around today and tomorrow trying to catch up…see you soon

Monday Meowsie News…

Hiya!! Savannah Here!

And I have finally made up with Mom and Dad…I know they need to have their little get-a-ways…and they have been showering me with attention!

…of course I hid in my closet after they got home…it always makes Mom and Dad fret a bit when I do it…pitiful looking, huh??!!

Of course I was not being spiteful at 2AM when I upchucked on Mom…she woke up, comforted me,  took off the bedspread, then started to go back to sleep, and just to let her know how much I was still hacked off appreciate her attention, I got back in bed and talked to her for about 5 minutes and gave her some head butts…ya know…stuff to keep her awake let her know I missed her…but as I said…I have totally forgiven them…(snicker, snork, snork, bwa hahaha…)

Alrighty then, on to my newsy stuff…

First…I GOT A NEW AWARD!!!

My Weimer pal, Easy, over at Easy Blog gave me the Beautiful Blogger Award!!

I hope that means he thinks I am BEAUTIFUL!!!  And that he thinks my blog is nice too!

As always, the award requires I share some things about myself…so I will add 5 more things to stuff I have already told you…

  1. I have nightmares!…no, seriously, I really do…I wake up sort of half asleep, cry out very pitifully…Mom comes running…and last time it happened,  I was on my fave step at the bottom of the stairs and Mom was upstairs and she called me from the top of the stairs and I literally RAN up the stairs mewing to her every step of the way…and let her stoke me and baby talk me and I finally laid down and relaxed.  It was a terrible nightmare.
  2. I don’t like bacon…sorry furriends…I am not a “treat” kind’a ladycat I guess
  3. I have started to sleep on the floor outside our office waiting for Mom to come play with me
  4. My fave time to play is about 10PM
  5. I still want to do my Precious Prancing Pony Movie….sigh
The Award needs to keep moving…and I think it is impawtant for it to do so…I can’t just give it to a few furriends, so I ask that anyone who doesn’t already have it…please, please help yourself and post it on your bloggy.
My reason for doing this is that I have found that so many of you prefer to not have awards hanging on your blogs and others have been blogging for a long time and have every award in the book.
 So, it takes Mom and me hours to find just a few to whom we can pass an award.  I feel guilty doing it this way…but I hope you will all understand.
I want to have time to come around and visit you all ‘cuz I am behind, so I hope you understand why I have passed this award forward in this way.
Another bit of Meowsie news is that I have started to play in our OFFICE!!!  YES!!!  So now I play, mostly, in our bedroom, but I also will play in the living room, on my Bird Watching Tower and now in our OFFICE.
And here I am, with a “new” toy…actually, it is some packaging papers Mom kept just for me…I LUVD IT!!!
This is a photo of me today, right outside our OFFICE, waiting for Mom to come out to be with me….
…and yep!…that is Mom’s footsie in the mirror MOL..she just saw it as she posted…
Thanks lots for stopping over for my Monday Meowsie News…
Paw pats, Savannah
