1. My plans for August include stalking the stores for new Halloween decor and learning more about dividend investing.

2. I exercise my brain by doing Murdle each day.

3. I try not to let food go to waste. We eat leftovers until they're gone! 

4. I know it's going to be a good day when I wake up with Mudpie beside me.

Helping Mommy Mop the Floor

Meows from Mudpie!

Last week Mommy moved all my stuff out of the kitchen so she could mop the floor. 

Did I move out of the way? NOPE! She mopped around me. She can clean this spot another time.

Oops! You caught me just as I was cleaning up from one of my favorite lunchtime snacks - Brown Cow maple yogurt. Whenever Mommy has some she shares it with me, and it's soooo good!

1. The best part of the summer is Halloween on store shelves and Christmas in July.

2. I can't believe that I ever enjoyed travelling.

3. I would happily eat pizza every single day.

4. I could use a break from the heat and humidity.

Blurry Head #PetPhotoFails

Meows from Mudpie!

Thank you for joining us for this month's edition of the Pet Photo Fails blog hop! What a disgustingly hot and humid summer we're having. Mommy is counting down the days until it's over. 

How exciting is this...5 months from today is Christmas Day! (I'm trying to think cool thoughts.)

My blooper this month is another selfie fail. My brain was obviously melting as I pointed the camera towards the sun, and then I moved my head at the last minute. The rest of my body stayed put though so it's not totally blurry!

That's my blooper...let's see yours!

Wordless Wednesday: Sunning in My Stroller

 

Our Morning Ritual #SundaySelfie

Meows from Mudpie!

Every morning when Mommy opens the door for the day we look for Mo. This time of year he's usually waiting for his breakfast in the driveway or appears shortly after he hears the door open.

Mommy helped me snap this selfie just as I first spotted him yesterday morning. It's no secret that I don't really like other cats, but I don't mind Mo. He's a good egg and I know that he needs Mommy.

1. The Ghost of Christmas Paws is a book that I would reread again.

2. My house is in need of dusting. I use my allergies as an excuse not to do it though.

3. I've been working on a special post for Mudpie's 10th Gotcha Day.

4. I finally figured out how to access my brokerage account online. Now if I knew what to do with it...

Feline Friday Flashback: Mudpie's Summer Clubhouse

Meows from Mudpie!

We first posted this photo 4 years ago today, on July 18, 2021. This big box still lives in our front hall, but I don't use it as much as I used to. Mommy says she could use it for storage, but since I still take a nap in it once in awhile it stays right where it is. 

This is what I said about it in my original post -

I commandeered this super cool Walmart box that arrived a couple weeks ago. I've got some stuffies in here, fun crinkle paper to sleep on, and my Tower of Tracks toy is just outside on my front porch. I even get snacks and squeezies in here. The only thing I have to leave it for is to use the little girl's room! It fits me purrfectly, and it's all mine. NO BOYZ ALLOWED!

Christmas in July

Meows from Mudpie!

Today we want to thank the wonderful Miss Ellen of 15 and Meowing for the pawsome Christmas in July package she sent us.

She sent Mommy a DVD containing a movie on NASCAR legend Richard Petty, Nightmare Before Christmas sticker sheets, and loads of kitty stickers, and she sent me the cutest little watermelon toy we've ever seen...

...which I look forward to playing with if the temperature ever dips below elebenty billion degrees again! 

We can't thank Miss Ellen and her kitties enough for always thinking of us during Christmas in July and picking out the most purrfect gifts!

1. A word to describe my life right now would be stressful.

2. Mo drives me batty. He has gotten incredibly fussy.

3. When it comes to my extended family, I'm most known for being a cat lady.

4. Home is my idea of cozy. All of my favorite things are here.

Wordless Wednesday: Just Charging the Kitty

 

Tara & Truffles...Forever Loved, Forever Missed

 

Today marks the 10th anniversary of the day my baby girl Truffles flew off to the bridge, and the 12th anniversary of the day her big sister Tara paved the way before her.

It goes without saying this is the hardest day of the year for me. Comprehending the tragic set of circumstances that took Truffles from me far before her time is something I will always struggle with, and most likely something I will never be able to accept. She deserved so much more from life. And the fact that I lost them both on the same day two years apart makes me wish I could scratch this date right off the calendar.

In honor of my precious girls, please give your own fur babies a little something special today. Maybe an extra hug or kiss, a few more minutes of play or cuddle time, extra treats wouldn't hurt either.

Our time together is so fleeting; their fragile lives all too short. Never miss an opportunity to show them how much they're loved.

1. My plans for July 4th include just staying home.

2. I don't care for fireworks.

3. I'm grateful that I have the freedom to be a stay at home cat mom (and take care of my dad).

4. I wish I could do a factory reset on the last 5 years.

Happy Birthday, America!

Mo is Melting Too

Yo! It's Mo!

I keep hearing that prissy pampered housecat Mudpie complaining that she's melting in the house.

If she thinks that's bad, she should try taking her afternoon siesta in the driveway! I'm melting too.

 

Hey, did I just hear a can open in the kitchen?

*** Note from Melissa - Mo has plenty of shady spots and cool grass in the yard, plus fresh water nearby at all times. He just sacks out in the driveway when he wants a snack. ***

I Grew a Horn #SundaySelfie

Meows from Mudpie!

See that single white whisker over my left eye? It just appeared in the last week or so. Mommy says Angel Truffles used to get one white whisker there periodically too and she would jokingly call it her little devil horn.

But I'm 100% angel. Mommy agrees.

A Real Doozy #PetPhotoFails

Meows from Mudpie!

Thank you for joining us for this month's edition of the Pet Photo Fails blog hop!

How is everyone surviving the heat? We hit 99 on Monday and 96 on Tuesday...in northern Vermont! HISS!!! 

Mommy is living for the fact that Halloween is starting to hit store shelves, and Christmas in July is right around the corner.

Our blooper this month is a real doozy, and a total Mommy fail. When she found it on her camera roll we laughed and laughed. I see one of Mommy's fingers, her legs and feet...and oh yeah, there's a Mudpie there somewhere too, but I can't even tell if that's my head or butt! 

Mommy's trigger finger obviously had a mind of its own when this one was taken...

That's our blooper...let's see yours!

Unboxing June's CatLadyBox

The theme of June's CatLadyBox was Chasing Sunbeams...here's what was inside!

 Featured Cat Lady Artist:

MakitsuNeko

Take It Easy Tee:

The graphics on this shirt are so sweet and summery!

Mellow Meow Trucker Hat:

This will be purrfect for covering up bad hair days caused by the yucky humidity this summer.

Kitten-Soft Cat Scrunchies:

I live in ponytails during the summer so I will get a lot of use out of these.

They're actually cat ears!

Sweet Sunnies & Beachcomber Boot Catnip Toys:

Mudpie spends so much time lounging in that sun that she needs a pair of sunnies, and as a huge country music fan I might be tempted to steal the adorable catnip boot from her :) 

*********************************************************

We're super excited about the redesigned purple CatLadyBox too!
