Hi Guys~ Yes it is July! Where does the time go?
We have had a busy month...our Mom's Step Mom passed away and our Grampy has been furry sad. Mom and her sisters have been trying to help him through this tough time. Well, mostly Mom's middle sister...she lives in the same city as Grampy. We live about 10 hours away, but together they found Grampy a new place to live, got him moved and settled in.
Grampy says he is starting on his Fifth Big Adventure!
Speaking of adventures! It was Canada Day yesterday!
This is what it looked like here yesterday...can you see the geese on the bank just by the other side of the river? They are YELLING at Kozmo! He was chasing the baby geese and they swam over and started giving him heck!
Undeterred, he caught a mouse and brought it in for Mom for breakfast! Mom threw the mouse out for the Crows and headed off to the pancake breakfast at the park.
Around Noon, Alex and some of his friends went tubing on the river. When he took his friends back to pick up their truck, Cinnie went for a ride. And when they got there, she rescued a stick!!
Several times!
And Mom went and watched the parade! In our village almost all the kids take part. This is one of our neighbours.
Jessica pedalled her bike the whole parade!
THe day was beautiful and the fireworks were spectacular! When they started, Mom sat on the front step and watched them, we all went down to the basement and laid on the bed in Alex's Man Cave! It was a wonderful day! We hope you all have the purrfect July Fourth!
The Cat On My Head started and has been hosting Selfie Sunday FOREVER! We can't wait to go to their blog and see who all is linked up this week!
Now click their badge to be whisked to Selfie Central!
Sorry about your mom's stepmom. Glad you had a nice Canada Day and those are great pics!
ReplyDeleteBig healing hugs. I hope Grampy does fine in his new digs.
ReplyDeleteCinnie was having a ball. Adorable.
Happy Canada Day.
Have a fabulous day and week, Scritches all around, a smooch to Marv and a big hug to you. ♥
I am sorry about your mom's step mom. I hope Grampy does well in his new home.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you all had a great day.
A belated happy Canada Day to you all! My what a fun time you all had. That mouse looks tasty, I wonder if there are any spare you could post over.....
ReplyDeleteWe are sorry for your loss, but pleased that Grampy has a new home and starting a whole new adventure. That is what life is about, not dwelling in the past.
Stay well Marv and family

so good to see you here. good job on the mouse hunt, not so good on the geese chasing. those goose really yell loud. I don't like geese at all. sorry Gramp is alone again and had to move. he looks happy. Happy belated Canada Day, sorry we missed it. I forgot to check the july calendar, been feeling down a little bit and thought who cares about days and now i feel mad because I missed it. so glad Cinnie got to chase that stick. we are dreading the fireworks that are on the way.

Dear Marv, doesn't your mom know you can not live by pancake alone. She should have mousie protein. After all, Kozmo did great trying to increase her protein! And your Grampy, so sad to see he has lost his mate. But a new place to start over, and maybe meet new folks to help with the lonely days. We had local
ReplyDeletefireworks here last night, and I did good and still slept in our chair, when Lynn checked on me at midnight. A couple thundery nights, I slept in the bottom of the closet. And you know, I am a top of the closet girl. Give Princess Jo Jo a furry friendly purr fur-om me. I am so glad to see you, and Cinnie did good savin' a drowning stick. Precious
oh Canada!!!!! hey marv!!! cinnie, good job rescuing that stick!!
ReplyDeleteWe're sorry about your Mom's step-Mom. It's always good to see you. Too bad your Mom didn't appreciate her present.
ReplyDeleteGentle hugs for your Grandpy as he settles into his new life ~ and happy Canada Celebration to all of you, what a wonderful day it was. Good to see you here (that made us happy!)
ReplyDeleteHappy Canada Day and Happy 4th of July. We stayed in the house while the fireworks were going on, Teddy is terrified of them.
ReplyDeleteWe are very sorry that you lost your Step Mom, and purrs to Grampy as he starts off on his new adventure. As we live in Metro Detroit, Canada Day and Independence Day are celebrated on both sides of the border with lots of fireworks, and we are glad that Da Boyz aren't too bothered, while Sweetie is deaf.
ReplyDeleteWe are sorry for your loss and hope Grampy can find peace and comfort in this chapter. Phod is totally jealous about the whole swimming thing. Lee and Phod
ReplyDeleteCinnamon's 'rescue' made me laugh so LOUD!!! Good one.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry you lost a your Step Mum, but I am glad randad is having a new adventure - Good For Him.
I'm so sorry for your family's loss. Happy belated Canada Day!
ReplyDeletePlease accept my condolences for the loss of your mom's step-mom. I pray your Grampy will be comforted by the love of family and friends and enjoy his new place.
ReplyDeleteNever bother the geese, they are mean! We have Canadian geese which no longer migrate north, they live here year 'round and they are chasing away all the other water fowl.
Talk about a mighty hunter! I'm sure the scavengers enjoyed the breakfast.
Cinnie, it's wonderful to get a stick to play with, and to get to play in the water with it is fabulous.
I am so glad you had such a fun and happy Canada Day!
You sure have had a busy week. We have our paws crossed for your Grampy during this transitional time for him.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry for the loss of your mom's step-mom. Your Grampy looks very sweet. I hope he likes his new place. How kind of Cinnamon to rescue the stick so many times. Happy Belated Canada Day!! XO
ReplyDeleteI am very sorry. I will pray for your family.
ReplyDeleteWe are very sorry to hear of your step mom's passing. Sending lots of purrs and prayers for the whole family, but especially Grampy.
ReplyDeleteGood job rescuing that stick, Cinnie. And Kozmo, for a minute, we thought maybe the geese were yelling "Happy Canada Day" to you, but it sounds like it was about you messing with their babies. A different kind of yelling. Happy belated Canada Day, by the way!
Hugs to you all, sweet pals.
Kozmo! It’s best to leave those baby geese alone.
ReplyDeletehugs to your grampy... and all the best to your furmily.....
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to stay nice and cool, Cinnamon! We are so very sorry for your loss. Hugs♥
ReplyDeleteLulu: "I kind of wish we had a bunker for when the fireworks start."
ReplyDeleteChaplin: "They said basement, not bunker."
Lulu: "Same thing."
Charlee: "We cats send lots of purrs for you and your Grampy for your stepmom's passing."
Java Bean: "And we dogs send tail wags!"
Lovely post, good to see you all again and Happy Canada Day!
ReplyDeleteOh I am so very sorry about Grampy's loss of his wife. He has a mighty fine smile!! May his new living situation bring him new joy.

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the 4th of July card! Looks like you had a great Canada Day. Can't believe your mom would rather have pancakes than a mouse for breakfast! Purrs, Snoops and Kommando Kitty
ReplyDeleteSorry about your mom's stepmom.
ReplyDeleteA new adventure could be a good thing for Grampy!
Cinnie seems to have fun!
Be well in your world!
Beautiful blog
ReplyDeletePlease read my post
ReplyDeleteWOW looks like you had a much more active Canada day than I did! What fun! Very nice of Cinnie to find that lost stick so many times!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry for your family's loss. The rest made me smile, aside from a dead critter. lol Best wishes, my dears.
ReplyDeleteOur sympathies to you Barb, on the loss of your Step Mom. And to your Dad. We hope he'll enjoy his new living arrangements.
ReplyDeleteWe hung out our Canadian Flag on Canada Day...and petcretary wore one of her Canada Tee shirts...and she phoned her sister who lives in Canada.
The fourth wasn't too noisy for us, the hot air balloons cased Benji way more distress than any boomers...go figure.
Those geese can be mean...for real! That was a nice fat mouse! Almost as fat as the mole one of us pups dug out of the ground...and then iit didn't even want to play with us anymore, BOL!
You're good at stick rescuing duties, Cinnie!
That sure looked like a fun parade. The town nearby to ours had a similar parade...not sure why ours doesn't do one, though it might be because we have the Balloon Festival and Field of Flight at the same time.
Enjoy the rest of July and summertime!
We are furry sorry for your loss. On a happier note, it looks like you had a wonderful Catnada Day!
