Typical Thursday

Leave me alone.

Tell her to leave me alone.

ANNIE! LEAVE SADIE ALONE!!

Wacky Nicknames Wednesday

Our adorable orange friend, Kellie, tagged all of us for the name meme.
How did we get our names?
Which nicknames do we like?
Which nicknames do we wish Mosaic Lady would stop calling us?

Because we all want to play and don't want to bore you to tears, most of us got our names because:
1) ML likes old-fashioned human names that end in "ie" (Willie, Sadie, Annie).
2) ML likes to name us after dead relatives (Walter, Leah, Annie).
Bianca came named. Her rescue mom is Italian and pronounces her name very differently!

Sadie Badie! (and I have a stocking from Victor that proves this!)
Badester (that is my street cred name.)
Dookster (short for Dookster Pookster Little Fookster. Zero cred anywhere name.)
ML needs to stop calling me Meatloaf.
Now.

Yanca Banca
Kitty Girl
I get nervous when she calls me: Damn Cat!! (Usually after I have peed on Leah's bed.)

Willie Billie
Mister Big Boy
I have no bad names. I am very good.
(I don't think it counts as a name when she says: God damnit, Willie -- I am not letting you out that door again only to have to get up in five seconds to let you back in!)

Annie Bananie
Nannie
Nannie Bananie
Nanners
Nanners Bananers
Those are almost tolerable, as embarrassing as they are, but I do not want to be called Tubbo.
That was Walter's nickname and even though I am Walter's Walk In... still.

Leah Beah
Herzabeah
Mostly lately she calls me:
Leah! Quiet!
F'in Dog!
I am not overly fond of those.

(This is my new buffet bar! It is a few inches too tall for me. I can only nibble at the edges of my food and can't reach the middle or bottom of my bowl. ML shipped it down to South Carolina so it could be sawed shorter for me. You did not think she was going to own a saw, based on what you know about her issues with scissors and knives??)

SomeDoggie Tagged Mosaic Dawg, Sunday!

Diamond Doggie, who lives with Perfect Parker and the other adorable kitties, tagged Mosaic Dawg for her very first meme. She was beside herself and had a very hard time narrowing her list down to only 3, as you will see.
This meme was created by the charming cats at http://www.petspics.blogspot.com/.

What three things would you do that you have never done before, if you knew you wouldn't get caught, get in trouble, or suffer any consequences?

1) I would bite my Godbrother, Zeke, in the butt.
Many times.

And he knows this about me.
See the fear in his eyes?

I bit him once the night we first met, Christmas of 2006, at his home in North Carolina.
Here we are at his new home in South Carolina celebrating Christmas of 2007.
I don't know why Mosaic Lady does not trust me to walk behind Zeke.
I did not bite him once this year.
Of course, it all depends on what the meaning of "bite" is.

2) I would sleep on all of the couches and on Mosaic Lady's bed any dang time I want. The cats sure do, and you can see that Willie thinks my bed is his, too. I am not allowed to be aggressive toward the cats, so my arthritic body suffers in silence on the hard, cold floor.
I am not allowed to get up on furniture or beds. This is grossly unjust.
Mosaic Lady does not approve of dogs on furniture.
This is grossly insane.

3) I would eat a Whole Container of my very favorite treats EVER!
Well, on second thought, I don't really enjoy pooping in the house in the middle of the night, so maybe I would eat only the bonus 33% Free?
They have 30% less fat than beef sticks, so it would be like I didn't eat any, right?
Oh wait... that doesn't qualify for this meme, then, does it?

3 - Revised - Part A.) I would ATTACK anycat that got near my food bowl or my treats or my bed.
Many times.
And they would know it and live in fear of me.

3 - Revised - Part B.) I would phone Direct TV and insist that they block Animal Planet and National Geographic and any other channel that airs The Dog Whisperer. Mosaic Lady watches that a lot and then she gets very full of her calm, assertive Self and goes all Alpha on me.

I know this meme has made the rounds a few times and that kitties in these houses have already played, so if they are not too tired, I tag CoCo the Weiner Dog over at Jimmy Joe's Pad, and also, my secret crush, Titus, of Furry Kids fame.

Wordless Wed ~ Annie's Stump Speech

Mancat Monday - For Sweet Caesar

Caesar went to the Bridge in his sleep two nights ago and this makes me sad. We had a lot in common:
we sort of look alike -
we are both 16 -
we both have sisters who look like us; are close to our age; and have lived with us all of our lives.
(Even though Bianca is not my blood sister, she came to live with Mosaic Lady five months after I did.)

I borrowed this wonderful graphic from Dragonheart and Merlin's tribute. I hope they do not mind! It is so touching.
Caesar's family, and his sister Princess, are in our thoughts and hearts.

Sadie's been framed!

I am not very happy that Mosaic Lady used my favorite seashells from our South Carolina Christmas trip for these frames.
I am also not very happy that ever since she remembered her camera has a flash she has gone glare happy.

mmmmmmmmmmm....
fish!
mmmmmmmm....
a pair of fish!
Am I pretty as a picture?

Once again, Slacker ML had to rely on the Zoolatry human to complete her post.
I don't know what her problem is, really, since she's lived in her pajamas for the last 48 hours, taking them off only to shower and put on a clean pair.
(Thank Dawg for small favors, kitties.)

We woke up to inches of snow on Thursday morning and are supposed to get a bunch more today, which you know if you have CNN or MSNBC. It is the first snow since we moved here because it did not snow all last winter.
You should see the clueless snow newbie, Annie. She did not know what it was or how to navigate it.
Of course, all the other Mosaics are snow savvy veterans from our years in Colorado.
Mosaic Lady is glad that she is not a South Carolina Republican like some persons we know who have to go out and vote today.

Four weeks till Valentine's Friday

Well, four weeks yesterday but we need to use an "F" in our title to match Friday because Mosaic Lady is SO LAZY about helping us blog in 2008.

So LAZY, in fact, that she had to rely on the Zoolatry Human to do this post for her!
She was going to use it for Monty Q's "Who Do You Love?" contest, but we doubt she'll get her doo doo together in time to post it there.

Of course, everykitty knows who Sadie is sweet on, but can you recognize Mosaic Dawg's new secret crush???
