It's Me!

Hi gang,
In an effort to bring you more of what you really want (cram it Pepper!), here are some fairly recent pics of yours truly that dad gave me for my blog. I hope you all enjoy! (Cram it Pepper!)
Roo

What is this?

My Donuts!!!

My Pizza!!

Stop! In the name of ice cream!

C'mon mom, look how adorable I am!

Misses Hiney gets hers.

Roo loves ice cream!

Sleeping with the snot noses mom.

Me and Amy.

Dumbass Marco!

I didn't get to see it, but dad told me that that idiot Marco Andretti caused another wreck yesterday this time sending Vitor flying and into the wall. When are the powers that be going to open their eyes and park that danger? He's one of the "Golden Boys" so I guess he can be as much of a menace as he wants and nothing will happen. And you know he isn't going to lose his job since he's the team owner's boy.

By the time he gets around to really hurting someone it'll be too late.

Meow!

Hi everyone. Not much today, but I am feeling pretty good after an awesome run by Vitor of Panther Racing last week at the 500! Wow, I really thought he was going to win it. Well it's on to Milwaukee and I think this will be his week.

Other than that I just have a new pic of me. I've had a lot of requests for some new pics of me. In this one I am just tooling through the kitchen and dad snapped the shot. Enjoy!

Search your feelings, you know it to be true!

Happy Birthday Dad!

Even though you haven't been very nice to me lately I still hope you have a nice day!

Rooney

Snot Noses!

Well it happened. I now have a couple of "nephews" and the snot nosed little brats came over and tried to take over. To top it off I have been chided for not being nice to them. So what, I growled a little. Sue me! This is my house and I will not let it be overrun by some snot nosed little twerps!

Oh and thanks dad and Misses Hiney. Dad was on the floor playing with them and Misses Hiney just hung around. She could have shown some unity, but oh no. Mom doted over them too so I gave her the cold shoulder yesterday morning and got yelled at again.

I guess I'm just yesterday's news. It's all about the new kittens and ol' Roo, who has been a good cat lo these many years is just pushed aside. Well you can have your kittens but just think what you'll be missing. You won't have Rooney to kick around any more.

Proof Sucks!

Well me and Misses Hiney had a couple of weigh-ins last night and as dad is fond of saying, the proof is in the pudding. I guess that means our diets are working. Well dad, the proof sucks and so does being on an involuntary diet!

The good news is that I am down to 13.4 pounds. Dad even said I looked skinny this morning when he was pulling my tail. Of course he also asks me all of the time if I am getting taller so who knows what the F he is saying. Misses Hiney is down to 16.2 pounds and mom and dad are real rpoud of her.

The bad news is that we are still on diets and Misses Hiney just can't get used to it. I see dad measuring our food and he has been serious about us not getting too much to eat. Misses Hiney devours hers and then whines for the next 12 hours until it is time to eat again. I like Misses Hiney, but her whining does get irritating. Oh well, as they say!

Well I guess I am back in fighting shape, but once again, I have no idea who I am fighting!

Love you all!

The Roo

Happy May!

Hi everyone! Hope everyone is doing well. I've been enjoying a few days off of writing and been pretty much acting a fool and messing with mom and dad! Oh I've been up to all of it. Knocking stuff around, eating Misses Hiney's food, jumping on mom and dad when they're sleeping and a new one, sneaking out into the garage when they open the door just a crack!

That's about all that's new around here. Dad is all agog since May is here. I guess he'll be out at the Speedway as much as possible this month. You know I'll be rooting for Panther Racing!!

That's about it for now. Oh, one last thing, I heard it was Sue's birthday yesterday, so Happy Birthday Sue!!!

Peace and love to all!

Roo

Double Lockouts!

I don't know what the hell we did, but all of the sudden we are being locked out of the bedroom twice a day. Once before it is time for dad to get up and then today, after he showered he locked us out when he went back to sleep. Yesterday I went in the bedroom after dad went in there and mom ran me out and locked me out. Look guys, if you don't want me, someone does. My feelings are really hurt right now.

Someone owes Roo an apology and maybe an extra bowl of food for this!

LMAO!!

Last night I pulled a good one, and one of my all time faves! I let mom and dad get to bed and then I made sure dad was fast asleep. Then I got a head of steam up running down the hall and leapt into their bed right on top of dad!

He popped right up and wondered what the heck happened. By then I was out of his reach at the far corner of the bed so he couldn't even swing a pillow at me. I had a hard time getting to sleep I was laughing to my self so much!!

Mama Mia!

Sorry about the water thing this morning mom. It really was an accident. It wasn't like me knocking things over when I'm hungry.

For those of you wondering, I was walking into the bathroom to lay by the register and I knocked mom's opne bottle of water over. Normally I don't think that would be all that bad, but it fell into her purse soaking everything in it. Mom has them fancy schmancy purses too so that makes it worse. But it really was an accident. Unfortunately I'm in the, and God how I hate this, doghouse. Guess I better behave tonight when mom gets home!

Hi There!

Howdy everyone!

Hope everyone is having a great day. Me, I've decided to tough it out and stay here and go to the vets in a couple of weeks. Thanks to my friend Smokey who offered to let me come over. Same to Greg and Amy. Dad just doesn't get it, but he will!!!

I don't really have too much else. I did catch some of a movie the other night called Best In Show. What the F is up with that? A movie about a damn dog show? Dog shows are so lame. If you want real excitement go to your local cat fanciers show.

Well take care. It's been nice weather here the past few days so mom has had some windows open. It's been really nice, except for last night. I had kind of a sour stomach so I just kind of laid around. Dad came in and watched Jeopardy! with me. I heard him tell mom that he kicked my ass at it, but I let him win. He's such a dork!

Later gators!

Roo

I'm Out Of Here

It's been some tough days for ol roo. First off, the Tigers lost the big game last night because they can't hit free throws. Dad said it would catch up to them and it did. But mainly, bad days are here because it is truly vet time. Well, I am not going to just sit here and take it.

No, I've decided I hate it so much that I am planning my escape. It's not that I want to leave home, but I just can't handle going to the vet again. On top of shots I have to have a physical this time around. It's going to hurt so much that I have just decided not to go.

So if any of you see a beautiful black cat with his hobo pack strolling down the road, that'll be me heading for greener pastures and ones where there is no vet. As for the blog, I'll catch you up when I get a chance.

Bye for now!

Roo

I'll Earthquake You!

More earthquake's last night eh dad? You are going to get it this time. I was really tired last night after you made me sit with you for about five hours. You know how that stresses me out. Then you pull your earthquake crap while I am trying to sleep.

You better sleep with one eye open tonight because I am going on the offensive and I will get my payback. You close that eye and I'll pounce right on top of you, or maybe I'll bite you while you are sleeping, but revenge will be mine.

There's nothing you can do so you better just be on the lookout!

Roo

A New Way!

Faithful readers of this blog know it's been a while since I really had dad on the run, but today I am happy to report that there is a new way and to paraphrase the song, I won't be fooled again!

You all know about me and Misses Hiney being locked out of the bedroom in the mornings before it is time to be fed. We get hungry at 3:30 or 4:00 but dad won't feed us until 5:00. That is when I start my reign of terror. This results in dad getting out of bed, acting like he is going to feed us. Then when me and Hiney head for the kitchen he locks us out of the bedroom. I know I'm a dope for falling for it every day, but that shit is over!

Today I got going about 4:00 and mom told dad to lock me out. When he got up Misses Hiney did her usual move to the kitchen, but not ol' Roo. No sir! I went under the bed and dad locked the door. But as he went back to bed I jingled my collar just a little so he would know I was still in there. He was pissed! So he got back up and went to the kitchen and rattled the food canister. I came running. I didn't get fed, but I made him work harder just for a lockout.

The bottom line is that I can outlast him in a battle of wills and soon I will be fed when I want, not when it is convenient for him. I got you good on this one dad! I told you I'd win this war and now it looks like the end is near!

Happy Birthday Roo!

Hi Everyone,
Roo's dad here to wish him a Happy Birthday! Roo is taking the day off to celebrate the occasion. I just wanted to put the word out and wish him a Happy Birthday!

I Thought Spring Was Here and the NCAA

Is it ever going to stop raining? God this sucks. It has been raining for more than 24 straight hours. Am I in Seattle? It even looks cold out there. I know it rains in the spring, but cold and rain. I even heard dad say it might snow tonight! Winter, I'm over it!

Tomorrow is the start of the big college basketball tournament. Dad is all geeked up about it. Of course, he is a geek! I'm not that big of a basketball fan, but there does seem to be more of a charge in the air this time of year for the sport.

So I was looking at the tournament and filling my brackets out and I noticed there are only 10 cat teams in the damn thing. But what is cool is that the team that is going to win IS a cat team. The Pittsburgh Panthers are the strongest team going in and I can't see how anyone can beat them. Look for the Panthers to beat North Carolina for the whole enchilada. Duke and Kansas will round out your Final Four.

The Indiana teams you ask? Well the Hoosiers (non-cat) will lose their first game. Boilermakers (non-cat) will probably win 2 at the most. Butler (I won't even put their name on here) is a one and done at best and the Fighting Irish (non-cat) might win 2. Pretty sad year for the state. IUPUI got jobbed by not getting in. They are a cat team and would have done the state proud!

There you have it. Now go enjoy the games, if not the weather!

I Am So Sorry!

Dad,
I am so sorry I acted like a baby yesterday. I know I hurt your feelings and I know you are mad at me. I was just feeling a little off and I just wanted to lay around. But I know you like me and just want to hold me and have me sit on your lap. I know you're not going to hurt me. I don't know why I was acting all scared, but I know you were hurt.

You didn't say two words to me this morning, even when I was yelling when you fed me and you didn't pull my tail when I came in your room. You didn't even say bye to me this morning. I'd be hurt by all of this, but I know it is my fault.

I promise that I will try to be less of a wuss. I don't want you mad at me and I hope we can still be friends.

Sincerely,

Rooney

Outrage

I don't do too many serious pieces on here, but today I am just outraged. For those who have not heard some drunk in Muncie forced his kids to kill thier pet cat. "Boots" was stabbed and strangled because this piece of human debris "wanted his kids to learn how to kill."

The complete story can be found here http://www.indystar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080314/LOCAL/803140459

What kind of sick moron, drunk or not, forces his kids to kill anything, let alone a cat. And rest assured that I would be equally outraged if it was any pet. I poke fun at dogs on here because dogs are kind of dumb and they make an easy target, but I would never condone killing a dog in this manner.

Sometimes I wonder how people have even survived on this planet as long as they have the way they act. They war, they kill each other over the littlest things and they basically hate. It's just so sad.

Is That Really Spring?

Roo here!

Man what a day it looks like out there, and even though I'm stuck inside I can lay in the window and soak up all the sun and just bask in the warmth! Hopefully this'll mean I get to at least go out in the garage a little more. On the downside it means that my trip to the vet can't be far off. I heard mom talking about getting the notice last week. That kind of sucks, but hey, who can be mad on a day like this?

Well I'm gonna bop out of here for now and head back to the window. Maybe I'll see my squirell friend and maybe I'll even see mean old Bob across the street and shake my paw at him!!

Peace and love!!

Roo Roo Roo
