Baby Joplin week 2 or 3

biped...."I need one of those pay pal donation buttons to put by this picture of Baby Joplin. We need some sort of caption to go along with it."



biped...."Yes you quessed right. The baby can get out of the big pink picnic hamper. Actually its now the big pink trampoline. He is actually giggling in these photos even if it doesn't look like it."

When no means no....

ollie...."You're not giving us enough attention so action must be taken. No more Facebook, no more Farms or frontiers, and your cafe is closing its doors. Do you understand biped?"

biped...."But its a holiday weekend. I'll just play for a few minutes."



biped...."Please?"

ollie...."What part of No didn't you understand?"




smudge...."I bet he's been waiting a long time to say that."

Box Day 2011

Our new Cat lounge....

annie....We's so happy. We's gots a new printer. Well da biped got a new printer. And it was sooo big that it wouldn't fit on the shelf. (tee heee...she found this out after she spent all afternoon cleaning the shelf for it.) So nows we's got a new flat spot to nap in."



annie....."Did I tell ya dat we's got a new printer that's really big and compfy to lay on?"

annie....."Yup we did. Now if we could get da biped to leave it on so it would be nice and toasty that would be the good life."



annie...."Did I mention dat da silly Ollie is still "Silly" He still prefers laying on da biped's keyboard. Silly cat there's no heat coming from da keyboard."




annie....Oh and an update on Baby Joplin. HE/she came over for a visit yesterday. I hissed of course, so did the brat. But the dogs really liked Joplin (dang it) and didn't eat him/her. Da biped's letting it out of the pen when she's in the sewing house and "lost" da new brat in a pile of fabric.

Multipurposing....

annie...."Look at what the biped bought me. A protective dome so major can't bother me."



major...."Look at what the biped bought me. A tornado shelter so I'll be protected from the vicious winds."



major...."Ooops I better get my tail in here so I don't turn into a manx cat."

biped....."What are you doing in my new strainer. We're going to have orange hairs in our spagetti."



major...."strainer? I thought it was a tornado shelter."

thump, rattle, rattle, pop, pop...

major....."Hey biped. I found a new tornado shelter, but I need more bubble wrap."

Major...."Pop...pop...Hey did you know it makes a popping sound when you bite it?"



annie...."A little duck tape and she'll be on her way back to kohls."

Update on JOPlin, the town not the kitten.....
After Sundays adoptathon, they either had 4 dogs and 3 cats left or 4 cats and 3 dogs. Either way it was a splendid sucess."

Joplin Adopt_a_thon....Tissue Alert

biped....."Today and Tomorrow is Joplin's adopt-a-thon for over 600 cats and dogs that were never reunited with their owners. The staff split the dogs and cats into two groups for Saturday and Sundays adoptions. There were 200 cats and kittens in todays group. By 4:00 pm EVERY single purrring CAT had been ADOPTED, and probably a few hissy ones too! That's right every single cat got a home. Also over 200 dogs were adopted today and the dog adoption continues till 8:00 pm."

The news reported that over 2,000 people showed up for the adoption event coming from as far away as Wisconsin, Gallup, New Mexico, Kansas, Illnois, basically from all over.

The animals were split into two groups for management sake and also to make sure all the animals got the best chance of being adopted. They deliberately held back some small dogs for tomorrows adoption because they draw in dog people better than the bigger dogs. That way a dog that wasn't adopted today has a second chance tomorrow when a new crowd of people come in for one of the "cute" dogs." From what I gather there's a little more than a 100 kitties available for tomorrows event, and about the same amount of dogs.

If tomorrow's crowd is as good as todays, and with cat adopters being turned away today I'm sure that it will be, All of the kitties should be on their way to their new homes by this time tomorrow."
