.

I would like to welcome everyone to our 400th post! We are very excited about this.

I have to admit though that I am not as excited as I could be. I am sure you realize that something is amiss. I am, for the time being, boycotting the use of my likeness in this blog. The PM has disappointed me greatly and she is required to use this reasonably made facsimile.

Why, might you ask? Well. The PM forgot about a certain tuxie's birthday this weekend. A very special Gotcha Day. On Saturday, I turned 11 years old and I have been living with the PM and the MM for 10 years. That is cause for celebrations with all the bells and whistles.

What did I get? Nada. Zilch.

How did she find out it was my birthday you ask? Was it a huge colourful reminder on the calendar? No. Was it a gift that came in the mail addressed to me? No.

It was the stupid TV. Yep, the PM had turned on the Wii to do some yoga on Saturday night and the flippin' Wii told her that it was my birthday. It said "It is Shade's birthday today! Hope you had a great day together!" The PM felt pretty bad, I must admit, but I am still quite upset. She even said she was going to take me for a walk outside on my leash the next day but she didn't. I....




What are you doing Goldie? This is my tirade.


I thought this looked like fun so I wanted to try it out.

I also wanted to say I think you are being a little hard on the PM. The wee lass has been sick since Thursday, the wee lad got sick yesterday and the PM has been having a bout of migraines all weekend.


She was going to take you out but it snowed. Remember?

She also played throw the crushed up paper ball with you and let you sleep under the covers with her that night even though she was too hot. Too hot!!!!


OK. I might be able to forgive her. Someday.



From both of us and Banshee, we'd like to thank you all for sharing our lives with us and for being our furriends!

As a Thank You, we are going to give away one of our homemade Puck Packs to a commenter on today's post. We are also going to reveal the puck's new name!

Stay tuned!!!

Happy Belated Birthday/GotchaDay, Shade! Actuay, we think it's pretty cool that the Wii remembered! You should probably forgive the PM if she's been tending both wee ones and a migraine, as long as she makes it up to you BIG TIME!

And congrats on your 400t post! We love your blog! And #1 says she hopes to see the PM again in person on "The Island" in July.

The Monkeys said...

We think it's okay to forgive your Mom and we have a lot of congratulating to do here...

Mom says she had three days of migraine too. Strange, huh?

Concats on your 400th post. We have enjoyed your posts and pictures immensely. This is to 4000 more.

A belated Happy Birthday/Gotcha Day too! A bit sad to have to be reminded by the Wii that it was your day. Nevertheless, I am sure the PM will make it up to you.

#400 made me laugh and laugh!!

Happy 400th Post! and Happy (belated) Birthday, Shade! Your "reasonably made facsimile" made Mommy laugh and laugh. We are very sorry that the Wii is the only one who remembered your birthday, but it sounds like the PM is really trying to make it up to you. Since the Wii is so thoughtful, you might want to write its birthday on the PM's calendar, so you can wish the Wii a happy birthday too.

Happy 400th post.

But we think ya oughtta get a real live dead shrimp or something for it. Mebbe even ham.

Mr. Hendrix said...

Happy belated birthday and gotcha days and congratulations on your 400th post! awesome!
i'm sorry your mommy missed your big day. gotcha days are especially special.
i missed your pretty face on the post, but i understand the boycott. your stand ins are so cool! where did you find them?
perhaps you can still get extra special treats like chicken if you give your mommy the sad face to remind her she forgot.
we hope your wee lad feels all better now. it is so hard when they are sick to get your fair share of attention.

PS I think your mommy should throw the paper ball and let you sleep under the covers every night!

Just Ducky said...

Concats on 400 posts, you should have gotten extra treats and such.

quiltcat said...

Happy Purrthday and Happy Gotcha Day, Shade! Meowmy has a set of salt and pepper shakers who look a lot like your stand-ins...they live on the back of the stove and watch over the kitchen. Sorry that the PM missed your special day, but it sounds like she has had her hands full with sick pink kittens and bad headaches. Concatulations to all of you on your 400th post...best wishes for many more!

We's kinda late in our Gotcha Day wishes, but if wishes were fishes, you'd be nomming right now!

Those little cats did a pretty good impersonation of you two!
