Daddy's Boy: Practising Camera Avoidance for the Olympics

PS: I've been working very hard lately to finish up my thesis project and packing up for piggies' relocation to Georgia. Hence the lack of commenting in your blogs. Please forgive us. Be assured that I'll be back!

YIPPIE! SASA'S FIRST AWARD

We received our very first blog award from Molly, the Wally. Technically, it was Sasa who received it because this award is for females only. So, let's pass this to Sasa to speak.

Meow, meow. (Cat Curtsy) Hello, every tail and every paw.

I am very honoured to receive this award because I beat my brothers to be the first in this family to receive a blog award. Girl power!!! It pays to be sweet is what I say. 

I looked like this when mummy showed me my award:

Mighty pleased. THANK YOU, Molly.

I am not funny like Molly or Goose or Puddles but I will try my best to make myself sound interesting. So, 7 things about me:  

1. I HATE my butt-sniffing brother!!!! Hate him, hate him, hate him. I can't get him to stop treating me like a dog i.e. I don't like getting my butt sniffed at and I don't play chase!

My exasperated and annoyed face. He is doing it again! Sheeesh.

2. The toilet in the house is my SANCTUARY. Cos it is the ONLY place my butt-sniffing bro won't dare to step inside. The toilet is his HELL so it is my HEAVEN. This is the place I receive 100% attention from my grandpeeps with no distraction. I don't even mind the smell. Really.

Mummy's Note: I will tell you the story of why Rich Boy hates the toilet another time.

3. I love to please people. Whatever I need to do to make my humans happy, I will do it. This includes putting on clothes and getting a bath. Yuck! When my mummy used to put clothes on me, I would pretend to be OK with it (see here). Later, when she wasn't around I would take it off and left it outside the house hoping no one would ever find the pink top. Nothing I can do about the bath. I just meowed. 

4) I have saggy boobs :( I am not proud of this but I did give birth TWICE! My grandpeeps tease me about my saggy boobs from time to time but I usually get fresh fish right after that, so I tolerate their mocking.

5) I have a bit of weight issue now. Full stop. 

6) I have never been trained at recall but I can do it PERFECTLY. Grandpa boasts to all his guests and friends of my ability to RUN home from WHEREVER I am WHENEVER I hear my name being called.

7) My name comes from a Chinese character i.e. 撒嬌 (pronounced Sa as in Saturday) meaning to act in pettishly charming manner (lady); Mummy said I was extremely ladylike and well-behaved even as a kitten. Chinese people like to double everything so everyone calls me 撒撒 (Sasa). The two characters are pronounced with different tones. First one going up, second one going down. I know it is complicated but everyone in the neighbourhood knows my name because grandpeeps call for me out loud all the time. Suffice to say, a lot of effort was put into naming me, unlike my BUTT-SNIFFING GOOD-FOR-NOTHING BROTHER. 

Now, we have to pass this on to 5 other female bloggers. We nominate: 

1) Silly Sasha the Lovable Shih Tzu 

2) Connie at tails from the foster kittens 

3)  Puddles at We 3 Doxies

4)  Bert's darling, Charlotte

Message to Bert, our founder/God: Since we can't give this award to you cos you have a Y chromosome, we are giving it to your sweetheart. Fair? 

5)  Nellie, thecatfromhell 

Message from Sasa: I checked your blog. You don't have this award yet, it seems. I would like to be as HOT as you, Nellie. 

Thank you once again to Molly for this award. We are looking forward to more award(s), hehe.

PS I have my eyes set on Allred. Paws off every other female cats!!! He's mine. Mummy says he is a real Man-cat so he will protect me always, especially from that big bully I am forced to call brother. 

 

A Dog's Love

                                           special dedication to tails from the foster kittens

I read this post the other day from tails from the foster kittens. Then, I saw a very cute photo shared on facebook. The photo reminded me of all kitties in the world and how lovely they are. Especially the one Connie mentioned in her post. 

Cat and mouse

Hope you like this as much as I do.

I'll be back :)

Thursday's Specials

Today's post is about Harley and Scooty.

1. HARLEY

Harley lives in Georgia with Cindy and Bill. She is very spoiled with Love by her peeps.

Harley and her birthday presents

Harley can be quite nosy as she likes to investigate everything. She lives like a princess with her own stroller and chauffer i.e. Cindy or Bill and a box full of toys.

Harley was so tired she just crashed onto her toys instead of her bed

Harley is very much a girl who knows how best to take care of her body. To stay in shape, she practises yoga on a daily basis.

Harley and her favourite yoga pose

Do you think I can enter this photo to the Olympics?

If you like seeing Harley and would like to get to know her better, please send me your questions in the comment section and I'll get back to Cindy for more information :) and lovely photos.

2. SCOOTER/ SCOOTY

Scooter was CL's first dog. They lived in South Carolina for many years. Scooter was a very intelligent dog.

He is infamous for bullying a gigantic Great Dane and stealing its ginormous bone which was probably the size of Scooty himself. His most heroic story is his remarkable survival from an attack by another Great Dane which almost took his life.  

When Scooty was a pup, he was all silky black.The breeder warned CL and Cindy that its colour would change. They didn't believe the breeder because it was soooo completely black in colour. As you can see, they did get Scooter from a reputable breeder.

Cindy, Scooter and CL (from left to right)

If you like Scooty and would like to know more about him, send us your questions in the comment section.

I would like to thank Cindy for sharing these beautiful photos and stories.

What I have been busy doing

I am so sorry, my blogville friends. I have not been able to post for the past few days. All I do lately is

DATA ANALYSIS...

I will take some time off tomorrow to get piggies' entries into the Olympics taken care of.

And I will be introducing Harley and Scooter too. Here's a teaser:

Our Happy List

Hi, every paw and every tail, 

We are back! Today, piggies and I are going to compile a long list of all the things that have made us really happy this week. Ready?

Darwin: ONE, Mummy is NOT scary anymore. WHEEK!!!

Einstein: We don't have to do this around her anymore. WHEEEEEEKKK!

"I'm not coming out even if my butt gets stuck."

"I'm staying here till your PMS goes away."

"My butt is NOT stuck, bro."

"Bro, is it safe now for me to come out? See, she was so MEAN, our bowl was empty!"

Mummy: Yeah, that is no. 1 on the list, hah?  

Einstein: TWO, weather has been Great with a capital G. 

Darwin: We get to go out every day and eat lots of fresh grass.

Einstein: You and your eating. 

Chom-chom, chom-chom. Fresh grass is real yummy.

Darwin: Not just eating. THREE, we get to bask under the sun. I love the tan on my nose and midriff. How about you, bro? 

Einstein: Look at me! Do I need more tan? I just love to chill outdoor and feel the fresh air and breeze. 

Darwin tanning his midriff while eating

"Bro, I want a cute red nose like yours so I am tanning mine."

" I prefer to stay under the shade. I absorb heat as quick as Darwin finishes his food."

"Mummy, I love this canopy. Wheek, for taking this out with us."

Einstein: FOUR, most importantly, being relaxed like this helps us think up of new scientific theories to test. 

Darwin: Yeah, we are going to find out how to maintain this weather forever! Fresh grass every day, WHEEEEEKKKK! Back to eating.

" I think this experiment will work. Let's try it out."

" Don't worry about funding. We can sell our poops as fertilisers to bring in more funds."

Mummy: Is it MY turn now, piggies? I got a tan too, on my feet. Hehe.

Just so you know I am real. Hehe

E&D: Yes, mummy. Go ahead. 

Darwin: What makes you happy, makes us WHEEEKKK too. 

Mummy: FIVE, the other night, I woke up at around 4am and saw this beautiful full moon. 

Einstein: She was missing daddy. She never wakes up in the middle of the night to feed me.

Which one is THE moon?

Mummy: I showed this to Rich boy over skype webcam and his reply was, " Mummy, which one is THE moon?":)

"Isn't this beautiful? Remington would be pleased if he sees this."

Darwin: SIX, Mummy spent a super long time on skype with our other big bro and sis. She was sooo happy. 

Einstein: Yes, we got to meet The Predator and Miss Scary Species. He was huge and scary whereas she looked so hungry, like Nellie, the cat from hell. I freaked out. Are you sure we are related, bro?

" That's The Predator. He will chase us like we are squirrels. Stay away, bro."

"Don't they look alike? Well, dogs smell like this to us, piggies."

Rich boy was so happy to meet piggies. Yes, he wants to PLAY chase with them.

"Let me think of a good recipe to go with all that meat."

Grandma giving Sasa a deep massage to let her forget about 'killing' piggies.

Mummy: Last one, SEVEN, I love seeing my pets sleep.This week, I get to watch piggies sleep under the sun. They looked so at peace. I think they have really learnt to feel safe around me and their crate. 

"All that eating is so much hard work. Let me catch a nap."

Post-prandial nap and chilling under the rays of sunlight. Perfect!!!

Einstein: I don't think these are the REAL reasons Mummy is soooo Happy. 

Darwin: Let me say it. 

Einstein: NO, let ME wheeeeekkk it out to our readers.

Darwin: DADDY IS COMING HOME TONIGHT. There, I said it.

D&E: WHHHHEEEEEEKKKKK!!!!! :) :) :)

PMS

I am sorry. I have been quiet for a couple of days, not posting nor commenting on my new friends' posts. 

I have been suffering from very unpleasant PMS. For my four-legged friends, please ask your peeps, your mums preferably, for what it means.But this picture may help explain a lot. 

Usually this is what happens at home around this time of the month.

CL just flew to Seoul at midnight on Sunday, for a whole week. Now you know why...

Been feeling guilty for not being able to do anything productive but I learnt from Zim-Zim and Dave today that it's called Hanging Ten. Maybe biologically I am just destined to Hang Ten a few days every month.

I'll be back,

Sankissjuice

PS If anyone has any home remedies or tips that will help overcome PMS symptoms e.g. upset stomach (bloating, indigestion) and PMS blues, please share it with me.

PSS How many women with PMS does it take to screw in a light bulb? (This one is specially for TANK)

 

One. ONE!! And do you know WHY it only takes ONE? Because no one else in this house knows HOW to change a light bulb. They don't even know the bulb is BURNED OUT. They would sit in this house in the dark for THREE DAYS before they figured it OUT. And once they figured it out they wouldn't be able to find the light bulbs despite the fact that they've been in the SAME CUPBOARD for the past SEVENTEEN YEARS.But if they did, by some miracle, actually find the light bulbs,TWO DAYS LATER the chair that they dragged from two rooms over to stand on to change the STUPID light bulb would STILL BE IN THE SAME SPOT!! AND UNDERNEATH IT WOULD BE THE CRUMPLED WRAPPER THE STUPID @*!#$% LIGHT BULBS CAME IN! WHY?! BECAUSE NO ONE IN THISHOUSE EVER CARRIES OUT THE GARBAGE!!IT'S A WONDER WE HAVEN'T ALL SUFFOCATED FROM THE PILES OF GARBAGE THAT ARE 12 FEET DEEP THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE HOUSE. THE HOUSE!! IT WOULD TAKE AN ARMY TO CLEAN THIS... I'm sorry... what did you ask me?
