Making smiles.....

I always make mum and dad smile when have my cat milk, sometimes I just drink it or other times I like to dip my paw in and just lick my paws. I can drink a whole lot like that and it always makes mum and dad smile..( And Glad I am drinking it too. )








an you see my little dish of ham too. If it gets put in my big dish I don't eat it but if I get a little dish in the front room I eat it..



What....... I am a cat and can have these little foibles...
Mum was going to delete this photo and I wish she had. talk about bad hair day... Have a great day... Hugs GJ xx

Noos and more noos....

Hello everyone.. well this morning has been a very emotional morning. We have much noos to tell you and are hoping blogger lets us.
Firstly just a little while ago mum got a phone call from Ivor who said could she speak to Jackie and she was crying, mum's heart went straight to the floor when she heard this. It soon came straight back up because Jackie was crying tears of happiness. The councillor had just rang her from the hospital and the noos is.... Jackie is clear... They got all the nasty out in the operation.. what brilliant news.. Just fabulous.. Jackie asked that mum tell everyone and to say a huge thank you because all the purrs worked.. The power of the paw for sure.
Now mum.. The doctor said she has healed brilliantly and he is very pleased with her. Mum can go on holiday and .. The doctor also said that mum must decide what she wanted to do regarding work and he could only advise her. Mum is going to try at her own job and be sensible doing it. No more lifting and trying to do it alone, she will call back up to help. This way hopefully mum Can continue to do the job she loves..
Now me. Friends have been asking how am, here is my report now. I am still not eating what I did before, but mum does not think I ever will, I seem to have settled into a pattern and will eat a little of what I like and then later a little more. Mum and dad continue to tempt me with different things and I decide what I will eat. I usually eat a small amount but will go back to it later and have a little more. I don't seem to be losing weight and seem to be holding my own. This mum and dad say they can live with so long as I don't lose any. Dad actually says he thinks I have put a little on as he tried to weigh me on the scales at home with him holding me, not ideal but an indication. they are however not taking me back to the vet yet so as not to cause stress.
When mum and dad go away they usually take me to the pet hotel, they say that this time they dare not risk the stress of that and Sue and Tristan bean will instead come here and take care of my needs. Sue will come from taking the beans to school and stay a while with me while I hopefully eat for her. They will come back later and check all is OK. Mum and dad both think this will be a better option than staying at the pet hotel, because although I will be on my own I will be in my own home and can go where I please and will nap more than if I was away.
Sorry this is a long post but Mum wanted to tell you our noos..
Take care my friends.

Hugs GJ xxx

Bits and bobs.....

Hello everyone... Well a mixed bit of news today really. Firstly blogger is being a bit of a pain again and is only letting me comment on my friends blogs every now and then. Mostly yesterday and this morning it is saying not available at the moment, it is so frustrating when we want to say something to our friends. We don't want you to think we don't care.
Mum goes to see the hospital doctor this evening for her check up to see if all has healed as it should. Mum is keeping everything crossed that he will say all is A-OK and that she can now go on holiday. the doctor said that mum could not be cleared to fly until after this appointment was OK. Mum is also hoping that the doctor will say she can go back and do her own job, but that is what she has been worrying about because it does involve quite a bit of lifting etc and he said this is a no no really. So fingers crossed for a few things really.
If the doctor gives the all clear then it will be all systems go with booking the flights etc as mum and dad will be leaving me and they are going across the pond on holiday.
In our thoughts are all that are effected with the weather at the moment. awful weather that has effected so many of late and our hearts go out to them all.
Mum has not spoken to Jackie today yet so is not sure how she is, she will call tonight and be able to say more then.

I hope we can comment but if not we will as soon as possible and know we are reading your blogs. Much love GJ xxxx

In the yard with dad....

This morning I was in the yard with dad, I found a few sunpuddles and even though it was quite windy and blew my furs around I enjoyed the sun.
The sun in this photo makes me half disappear. mol.
The wind blew the sun away in this picture...


Enjoying that sun...


Of course dad gave me plenty of attention..


We had a game of bitey foot...


Back to the sun....


I really enjoyed my time in the yard with dad..


I hope all my friends had a good day too..


Jackie phoned mum and she is doing really well and is so glad to be home. I bet it wont be too long before Jackie will feel able to do a blog and let you all know. Jackie is so thankful that she has so many sending her prayers and purrs and woofs..

Much love to all.. GJ xxx

Can you see what I see.. And ..Updates on Jackie....

Dad was out in the yard and I was helping him, I sat on the wall and watched.When I turned around who do you think I spotted on the neighbours roof... The ginger cat that's been coming around. I squashed myself down in pounce position and watched what he was doing...


Keeping my eye on him....Then I set off to see what he was up to....
He was off like a flash and out of the end yard... I checked all where he had been...

I looked under the gate for him for ages afterwards but no sign and dad said come on back now because I am not to go out of that gate.. I know I'm not to go out the gate but sheeesh where did he go..

I went back into my own yard.. There is always next time...


Now for my news on Jackie. Yesterday afternoon mum was really surprised to get a call from Jackie herself.It was good to hear her voice and to hear that she was doing OK. Mum was going to put all this on a post last night but had problems with the interweb or something so could not get it on.. Then just a little while ago Ivor rang mum with an update. Jackie didn't do so well last night and had a bad night, she had the sickies and was awake all night. They gave her something to stop the sickies and hopefully she will feel a little better today.The good news is that the doctor has been round to see Jackie and told her that the operation did go well and there were no visible signs of the nasty in her tummy spreading. They have to wait for biopsy results but the first findings looked good. This is brilliant news and lets hope that those biopsies prove that it is so.. With the power of the paw behind her then it should be just perfect. Ivor said Jackie thanks everyone so much for all the good wishes and knows it is helping her tremendously...Keep them coming .. You are all the best.... Hugs GJ xxx


18 May 2011

More Noos on Jackie .......




Hello everyone I have more news. Ivor phoned this morning to say Jackie was feeling so much better, she had not had a too bad night and was sat out of bed in a chair. Catheter removed and only using the pain relief button when she had to. Now this is what mum calls brilliant news and we had to share it with you all. Jackie says to thank all our friends for the purrs, woofs and prayers because they are working. Now here's hoping those biopsy results are good too.

I used this photo again because Jackie liked it.. Get well soon Jackie.

Love and hugs to all GJ xxx

Update on Eric and Flynn's mum.....

Hello everyone.. As most of you know my good friend's Eric and Flynn's mum Jackie had her surgery today to cut out the nasty that's in her tummy.Their dad has just rang mum with the update and the news is that the operation went well and although Jackie is in a lot of pain which they are trying to control for her, she is back on the ward and the operation went well. Mum told Ivor to send lots of love, purrs and woofs from all our friends and he said he will do that. Now its onwards and upwards with the recovery. Mum will update each time she gets news. Ivor will ring when he has been back to see Jackie.

Jackie giving me a cuddle when she was here on a visit a couple weeks ago..


When mum had her operation I got out my doctors bag and Jackie knows I am here and ready if she needs me to pop over and help nurse her. She will though have her boys ready to take charge and make sure she rests and gets well..
Please send along lots of purrs and woofs and I will make sure Jackie gets them.. Love to all GJ xxx

Just checking.....

My neighbour had been messing in his flower bed, you know like they do, taking weeds out tidying up and taking away all the good stuff for hiding in. he had put up a little mesh fence too. I went to check his work and to see if any introoders had been near....
What !!!!!! I am just checking....

Mmm I think something or someone has been here...
Wait..... I think I heard someone coming.....
I'm out of here.....
Still an OK place for hiding to watch the birdies though...



Hope you are all well and happy.... Hugs GJ xxx

15 May 2011

Can you see me birdies........

If I hide behind the honeysuckle then the birdies might not see me and I can sneak up on them...

Keep really still...



I see you birdies but can you see me.....




One day birdies.... one day....



Mum has been playing with my blog and as some people suggested there was too much on the side bar moved things to tabs at the top. ( thanks Jan ) There are now tabs for my awards, for remembrance and one showing a few of the events I have been involved in. They are not in order. ( mum gave up on that one for now ) but have freed up a lot of space on the side bar. Thank you to everyone offering to help and you may yet still get a e mail from mum cause it is by no means finished. MOl.

Hugs and love to all.... GJ xx

Frustration with blogger.....

Mum has had awful trouble with my blog. All the side bar items dropped to bottom of main blog, footer went in middle and lots more things happened. Mum thinks it was maybe because when she went to post yesterday it was telling her that tags were missing etc. Mum had been cutting and pasting pictures. Mum has been tearing her hair out trying to fix it. After contacting a help link most of it has been fixed but lots of side bar items are now right at the bottom. Mum had enough for now and will try and lift them up later. Mum said she wishes she was clever like a lot of blogger friends and knew how to put awards etc into special places.

See you all later.. Love GJ xx

Can a mancat not go bug hunting in peace.....

There I was in the yard with dad and on patrol for bugs. I was minding my own business and I spotted mum with the flashy beast...
Oh oh here comes trouble....
Maybe she wont spot me...


Oh no she has seen me....

I had a word with dog as he usually has bugs crawling by..

Yes he had seen a spider this morning...

Is mum still there....

I asked frog ... Have you seen any bugs....

I asked Robin... have you seen any bugs.....
I will pretend she is not there...


Mum I am busy.......


Then on the neighbours roof... these appeared...


Mum said.... No Jasper .... Leave them alone....
























































































Sheesh two of them and I was not allowed.. Mums....
















































































































































































Hope you all had a good day....
























































































Love and hugs GJ xxxx

























































































Hope you all had a good day.. Hugs GJ xxx
