Kinda Blue

That's Roo.

I'm a little sick these days. Like a dumbass I had to eat some of the tinsel from the tree and now I am plugged up and am in agony. Dad says he is going to take me outside and juice me and I am just about ready to let him.

I know, I know I', not supposed to eat plastic but I just love to chew on it. Well this time I must have had a little too much. Oh, I know it'll pass, but dang I am miserable.

I just hope I am feeling better for Christmas. I've been really good lately and I expect I'm going to be nicely rewarded for it!

Love you all and pass the Ex-Lax!

Happy Holidays Everyone!

The Puparoo here to wish everyone a happy and healthy holiday season! I've been doing well, even if dad has been trying to hold me too much. I know he means well, but I'll go to him when I need attention!

As for Thanksgiving I was able to snag a little turkey so that was good! Mom and dad went out helping the less fortunate and then went and ate. Me and Misses Hiney toughed it out here as usual, but all was cool.

This week the weather turned colder so I have been trying to keep warm. Dad makes fun of me and says I have a cat suit on so I should be warm. Hello dad, it's my natural fur and NOT a cat suit. What a dolt.

Football hasn't been to good for me this season. My Jags are making a push and look like they'll make the playoffs. The Panthers and Lions suck. Dad's Colts are doing great and he loves to rub it in. He's working 4 days and off 3 so I get an extra day of abuse.

Mom's been doing okay. We've developed a good routine on the new recliner and I have adjusted well to the new furniture. Misses Hiney has as well.

Well I'm going to pop out of here as I here dad rattling some food bowls. I'm famished today. So everyone heve a great couple of weeks and I'll be back soon!

Roo

Howdy y'all

Hi gang!

Nothing really important today. Just hadn't popped in for a while so I thought I'd say hi and share a picture dad gave me from him and mom's vacation.

It was from a team he hates so I was surprised he even took it, let alone gave me a copy, but thanks dad!

Like I said, nothing really new here. The baseball playoffs are here, but there are no cat teams so I don't really care. As for football, once again my cat teams aren't doing so well. The Lions finally got a win, but the Panthers are dreadful and even the damn Colts beat my Jags.

Well enjoy the nice fall weather we are having. I'm going to go in and make sure mom and dad get up before they want!

Love you all!

REVIEW-New Furniture

Well the good news is that Roo's mom was correct. We are not moving. Instead our old furniture has been replaced with new, but in Roo's mind, not necessarily better, furniture.

As I stated in my last post, the recliner was still here, but it even left the next day. Mom and dad took it somewhere. A little while later some me brought a new recliner, divan and love seat. They certainly looked pretty. They are a beautiful black! But for Roo, that is the end of what is good about them.

For one thing they are made of some kind of animal hide. Roo does not approve of that unless of course it is dog! THey seem slick and a little colder to Roo. Plus the arms on the davenport and love seat are much lower and Roo can't "ride high" any more.

As for the recliner it is substantially smaller and a month in Roo has yet to find his "spot" when sitting with mom. I used to hang out on the foot part of the recliner but this one is much smaller so I have been sitting on mom's lap or half on her lap and half on an arm. Either way, Roo isn't crazy about it.

So a month or so in, call Roo less than tickled pink about the new furniture. I guess I'll assimilate, but I miss the old stuff.

Love you all,

Rooney

Moving?

Last night, soon after dinner, sister Amy came by. I didn't think anything about it as she often comes by and we play our little game where I run and hide and she tries to find me and pick me up. Yesterday was no exception, or so I thought.

Amy did something strange. Her and mom removed all of the cushions from the two divans and took them outside. I didn't see where they took them but I found it odd. Figuring they would bring them back in I decided to just hang out and not get too worked up about it. The funny thing is that they never brought them back in and in fact, Amy came back in and sat on one of the divan's without cushions. Well ol' Roo's curiosity was, to say the least, piqued.

A little while later dad came in and brought in a folding chair and sat in it. I thought this was really strange, but he is sucha dork that God only knows what he'll do next. What did happen next still has your host perplexed.

Some man came to the house. Everyone seemed to know him and I may have seen him before, but as I usually run from company I wasn't sure. This guy and dad then proceeded to take the 2 davenports out of the house pretty much the same as the cushions. Curiosity had just given way to fear.

Eventually Amy and that man left but the divan's didn't come back in. Mom's recliner is still here, but dad was in his folding chair until they left the house. Roo didn't want them to leave without him, but they asked me to be good so I figured they would be back. But I sat on the table watching the door intently until they came back. Well they did come back, but they didn't have our furniture.

I just got up a little bit ago and it still isn't here. Now I am worried. Did Amy and that man steal our furniture? Roo reads the news, was the furniture reprocessed from a alack of payment. Things are tough all over. Or, are we moving?

Roo is no spring chicken any more and a move may be more than he can handle. I have vowed to stay here no matter what. Hopefully our furniture will come back today as I miss my arm on the divan to "ride high" as dad puts it.

For now though, color me worried!

Happy Fourth of July

A big Happy Fourth of July from your patriotic cat friend!

Hope everyone is having a great day grilling out, visiting friends and family and watching fireworks! It's kind of rainy here in Indy but mom and dad are heading out to see AMy, Greg and the snot noses tonight. They went to a party yesterday sinec dad had to work today (he-he).

Ol Roo is going to hang out here and me and Misses Hiney will probably watch the race and watch some fireworks when it gets dark.

As usual, remember all those who fought or are fighting for our freedom! Things may not be so great right now, but we American's are a hardy breed and we'll persevere!

Have a great day and I'll talk to you all anon!

Roo

Sad Days

Hi everyone,

Wow, it's beena long time since I have been on here. For those of you who hang on my every word I apologize!

Ol Roo has been somewhat in the doghouse lately. And those of you who know me, know how much I don't like anything to do with dogs. Yes, Roo has been having some urinary issues and mom and dad are none to happy with me. Sometimes I just get confuesd and don't pee in my poophut. I make it there most of the time, but like I said, sometimes I get confuesd. Mom thinks my kidneys are failing because I am gaining weight, but I don't think so. Dad says I need juiced, whatever that means. He never did the dignostics on my new food, but I think in the long run it is heavier per piece and I am getting more food than before.

Anyway, that's been my life lately. I'm trying to do good, but it's hard!

Not a whole lot else is going on. How about that Panther Racing at the 500? A solid second place and if 3 was in jail like he should be, we would have won! We'll get them next year.

I'm going to pop out of here for now. I'll try to be a better poster in the future.

Peace and love to all but Pepper!

Great Days!

Hi gang!

Ol Roo here. Hope everyone is enjoying the nicer weather we have been having. Even your fave cat has got spring fever and what a great day I had today!

First I got up early and walked on mom until she got up and fed me. Dad was on te sofa butI couldn't make him get up. He whined that his shoulder hurt. Wuss! Then later today I got to go out in the garage and I had a ball.

Dad has a workbench out there and I like to jump up on it and just hang out, but I was feeling adventurous today and found a spot higher up and it was way up by a window so I took me a little nap in the nice warm sunshine.

Then when the sun started to go down I started wandering around and lo and behold the sunroof was open on dad's car. Naturally I jumped in and promptly got in the back window deck and took another nap. Dad came out and found me but I got out before he had a chance to drive off with me.

Finally, a stupid bird team got the number 1 seed in the NCAA tournament, but my Pitt Panthers were number 2 so that made Roo feel good.

All in all it was a real red letter day for me!!!

Well that's about it for now. I hope you all have a great week and I'll speak at you soon!

Lazing On A Sunny Morning!

Hi gang!

Well ol Roo is just hanging out this morning. I had a nice bowl of food (and a little of Misses Hiney's) and just have been laying around relaxing. Dad came in and picked me up earlier and then he rubbed my belly for me so it is all good today for the Puparoo!

I really don't have much else. The "pee bomb" hasn't gone off for a few days so that makes everyone happy!

I guess I'll just chill out until race time and then root for Jeff Burton in the Cat car.

Y'all have a doozy!

Roo

Pix!

Anyone up for some new pix of America's fave cat!?

Is it hot in here or is it just me?

Low 5!

My quilt now dad!

As dad would put it, "There's a lot of pain and shame in those eyes".

Reading up on what them Catholics is up to!

After reading the funnies!

One of Misses Hiney!

Ugh!

Nearly a month after the fact and I am still not over my Panthers early playoof demise! To a a bird team no less! Birds suck out loud as evidenced by their lousy Super Bowl appearance. I watched some of the game but I knew they'd lose. Losers! But the good news is that I am not bitter!

Hi everyone. It's nice to be back. These warmer temps have me a little more motivated. It was so cold there for a while that I would get up in the morning and eat and then find a nice warm place to go back to sleep. It was so cold dad wasn't on the Wii in the mornings so I couldn't even bug him!

On a much somber note, mom's mom (I don't think the grandma thing works for cats like mom, dad or sister) is very sick. Please keep her in your thoughts. I have been trying to be extra good fo mom since she is very upset, but you all know how I am.

Speaking of being bad, I have been labeled the "pee bomb" by dad. I had a couple of little accidents and now I am locked out of half the house and whenever dad comes home he checks everywhere to make sure I didn't "go off" again. He really makes me feel guilty about it. He says my weevelishness is what makes him super suspicious. I guess I'm getting older and have a hard time holding it, but it's not done on purpose!

Well that's all that is going on here. Hey to all of my friends. I hope to get back on here a little more as it gets nicer outside.

Love to all!

Roo

Happy New Year and the Playoffs!

First off, Happy New Year to everyone except of course Pepper! Hope you have a prosperous and safe 2009!

This week the NFL playofs start and Roo is goign back to picking the games, albeit not against the spread. So with no further ado, here's how the black cat sees it!

In the NFC my Panthers earned a bye and will be at home watching like Roo. In a classic bird brain game the Falcons travel to Arizona to face the Cardinals. Roo thinks birds are dumb and in this case the Cardinals are just posers. Roo sees a Falcon win in the desert.

The other NFC matchup has another bird team, the Eagles going to Minnesota to face the Vikings. I may not like birds but the Eagles look hot coming into the playoffs and the winning the NFC North is like being the tallest midget. Eagles fly over the Vikings!

On the AFC side dad's Colts hae been pretty hot themselves and go to San Diego to fae their nemesis the Chargers. The Chargers limped inot the playoffs and at 8-8 only got there because of their crappy division. The Colts are loaded and have to much for the San Diegans even though horses scare me!

Anothere damn bird team, the Ravens go to a stupid fish team, the Dolphins, I know, I know. I think the Dolphins are a nice team, but I just don't see them beating that Raven D. Ravens by a TD.

That's it for now. Tune in next week for my divisional round picks!
