Eartha's Artistic Endeavours

Hey there, dogs and peoples. It is me again, Eartha Kitteh.

This lady E. Rabbit thought you might be missing those dogs Gus and Teka while they are still not having power in Richmond. So she said I could share with you some of the pictures she took of them the last time she visited.

She does not want you dogs to get Gus and Teka withdrawal, you see.

So here is that other dog, Teka.

She is in that guy Dad's office. She knows that this office is where that guy Dad thinks all of his important thoughts, so she is trying to have important thoughts of her own while she's there.

She is somewhat limited in her capacity to do this, if you ask me.

And here is that dog who is my uncle, Gus.
He is saying "Pbbbbblllllt to you, Dominion Power. Give me my lights and internet back!"

And here am I, Eartha Kitteh.
I am sitting in this lady E. Rabbit's underwear drawer. I know you are not having withdrawal from me, but I thought you would like to see this picture anyway, since I am very good looking.

Hurricane Central

We are fine

We still do not have power.

We have hijacked the compooter at my Dad's office but it is a mastadon!

We are reading posties, but not always responding. We hope you all are OK!

Our kibble supply is still ample, but we are below 26 lbs, so we know have less kibble than we do Gussie and Teka is eyeing me strangely!

We love you all and are so happy the hurricane did not hurt any of our friends.

Gussie and Teka

Eartha Gives The All-Clear

Good morning, doggies and people. It is I, Eartha Kitteh.

That dog Gus who everyone says is my uncle texted me this morning on his muzzer's cell phone and asked if I could let you all know that he and that other dog Teka and those people they live with are all OK.

They just do not have any electricity at the moment, so he cannot update his blog himself. That Irene hurricane knocked out their power down in Richmond, but didn't hurt them or their house.

We are fine here in DC, too -- we still have our power and our internet and everything, which is why I can update this blog even though that dog Gus cannot.

We also have a lot of extra cans of BEANS and CAT FOODS because this lady E. Rabbit was convinced things were going to go all catty-wampus.

I do not think catty-wampus sounds like a bad thing, especially as it results in our having a huge stockpile of canned CAT FOODS.

But to recap: every dog and cat and person affiliated with this dog Gus and his blog are OK. Further updates as they are available.

Emergency cat reporter Eartha, over and out.

To our Dear Friends

We are having some busy times at our house, and it is interfering with our blogging.

Since we came back from our trip to St. Loulis and Mayemphis, both Aunt Marie and our Grandpa have gone to the hospital.

Aunt Marie is doing better, still in the Health Center where she lives, but we hope that her cracked pelvis heals quickly and she is ready for another visit from us by Christmas time.

Our Grandpa is not so good. His surgery went well, but he is still in the hospital after two weeks, and just this morning, our dad flew to Azrizona to see him.

We ask that you remember both Aunt Marie and Grandpa in your prayers, and hold all of us close to your hearts.

On a much lighter note, we have heard that our Sissie E.Beth is coming to visit us this week, to help keep the muzzer in line and on track. She is lots of fun.

All this is a most involved way of telling you that we are doing our best to keep up with reading and comments, but we don't have much heart for blogging. We hope you understand. We love you all.

kisses

Gussie n Teka

Happy Bastille Day y'all

To All of our francophile friends

Today, I am surprising Miss Asta with a

short trip to Paris.

Where we will have a baguette or two

Some most tasty French Sausages

mmmmagnifique

And some cheese and wine.

We hope everyone else has a good

time too. But keep your hands

off of our sausage.

Some Notes on our vacation

We seemed to spend a lot of time

Playing Muzzer's Silly Game

"Oh look there is a Wirey Guy

doing roaches in the sky"

"And over there, five puppies"

Though I never found a one.

I cannot think why she keeps looking

For Wireys in the sky.

When on her lap

She has right here

A Pawfect

Wirey

Guy!

kisses from me and Teka,

We are sooooooooooooo

glad to be home!

Aloha Honoroooorooooo!

Aloha my friends

Miss Asta and I will be leaving shortly

to return to the mainland.

We want to spend time with Asta's Mommi

and Daddi on the fourth of July,

and I want to catch up with

Muzzer and Dad before they

leave St. Loulis for Mayemphis.

We have had a wonderful time, and

want to thank all of those who organized this

and Asta's most talented Mommi for the

wonderful pictures.

Aloha, like Shalom, has many meanings.

I hope it means that we can return to

this beautiful spot some day soon.

The Moon and you......

Group photo of us having a great time

at honorooroooooo

(any of these can be bigified by clicking on

them, but Blogger is not cooperating with me tonight!)

Asta and I are part of the welcome committee!

This is wonderful, because we can greet our friends as they

arrive. Asta has been kissing each guest and giving them a lei from

around her neck. I hope we don't run out!

Isn't she marvelous?

There is NO DANCE this

wonderful girl cannot master.

I'm thinking that a few of these

have helped her relax.

I'm also hoping that they make

my ukulele playing sound better to

the crowd. I've been hearing

murmurs that I may be furry

but I am no Elvis!

Aloha my friends, join the party

tomorrow for more fun. Right

now I am enjoying the company, the sunset

and our wonderful friends.

I would like to thank Asta's Mommi

who offered to let us use these

photos she had prepared. Please stop by

Asta's blog and tell her

what a wonderful job she did.

Affirmation is a wonderful thing.

Honorooroo

Click here to Join in the fun

at the Honorooroo Pawty!

Me and Miss Asta are there.

Our Mommi and Muzzer are

busy this weekend, so we

took Miss Asta's plane and

zipped over.

The Music is fine and the

mai-tais are flowing like wine.

We'll all be posting pictures

and news from there, but you

should just join us!

See Ya there!

Wait a MINUTE HERE!

Do all y'all remember when

muzzer and dad took the flats

to Dee Seee and New Yawk?

And they stayed in hotels like the

one above?

And the one above here?.

Well, we are in a hotel tonight too

And while it is OK

Baby, it ain't no Klimpton!

Teka says this is SOOOOO

unfair.

And I am a bit miffed too.

Gussie

Many Apologies

To DogDad and DogMom

Miss Asta, Mommi, Daddi, Duffy, Aunt Karen, the folks at

the Eventi hotel, Jon and Becka, the folks at Indochine

in NYC, the bagel bakers of New Yawk, SniqueAway and the folks

on the Amtrak train for a great trip.

I would like to thank my vet and staff for keeping me

safe and dry while they were gadding about.
