February 9th is Nutmeg's Birthday!

Todayis a big day! Nutmeg is 2!

For our Grrl's Birthday, Alex has made a video of a few of the photos he has  taken of her. 

I'll turn the blog over to the birthday grrl! 

 You can't miss my house here in the tiny village of Midway! My bestest Doggie Furrend is our Next Door neighbor Lucy (though her Dad and Alex call her Goose) and she set up a Kissing Booth! Lucy gives the second best doggie kisses (I give the best ones!)

I asked Mom ifwe could do a Paws Patrol (it is my favorite TV show when I get left at home with the cats) Photobooth like she did for Marv a few years ago and Mom said YES!! 

But I did not ask until today...so Mom said that NEXT Monday is Family Day up here in the Great White North and we could post them then!  We made a Photo Booth and I got a great shot of my Bestie Lucy 

 

and Marv got one of Kozmo and Katie Isabella (Thanks for coming over and helping to set up the pawty Katie!) 

And Katie took a terrific shot of Marvelous!

 

 

If you would like to get a Photobooth Shot, please send a photo to nellieontheedge @ gmail.com before next Saturday (Valentines Day)! We will send your photobooth picture to your email address and post it on our Blog NEXT Monday!

 Mom says we will be donating to Boundary Helping Hands for every Photobooth shot we do. 

 

Now come on in, enjoy the pawty games, the singing and visiting!

 

AND 

Don't forget to get some cake! 

 

Or Something off the Barkcuterie Board! 

 

 

Thanks so much for making my Second Birthday so Furry Special! 

 

 

February 2 is Ground Hog Day!

It's Ground Hog Day!

Are you guys waiting to see what happens with baited breath!?!

Out here in the middle of nowhere in the Great White North, we have had a REALLY, REALLY, REALLY MILD winter! 

This is a good thing.

Our poor Mom took a fall on the ice last month and has had to "Crutch" it. Alex was in the Arctic (well, Edmonton which is very much like the arctic in winter) until this last week. Mom was lucky. It did not snow, even if it was chilly, the roads (and sidewalk) were dry. Our Mom did everything she always does (except the grocery stores - too much walking). 

Enough about Mom. She says she is grateful that she is mobile and can get from A to B (even if it takes longer and requires rest stops).  

Some ground Hog Day History!

Some things you might not know about Punxsutawney Phil (the FAMOUS Groundhog)

1. The original groundhog was named Punxsutawney Phil, and according to legend, every summer his life is extended by seven years.
2. If you think Punxsutawney Phil’s name is confusing, try saying his full name, which is "Punxsutawney Phil, Seer of Seers, Sage of Sages, Prognosticator of Prognosticators, and Weather Prophet Extraordinary."
3. After comparing temperatures in the US from 1988 to 2012, the National Climatic Data Centre determined that Phil’s accuracy is only 39%, which is worse than chance.
4. Groundhogs can tell when winter is ending but their shadows have nothing to do with it. Because they hibernate, they can tell when winter is over and it is time to come out of their burrows.
5. Punxsutawney Phil tells the Inner Circle president his prediction in “groundhogese.” It is then told to the vice president, who chooses the correct scroll – the one indicating six weeks of winter or the one saying spring will come early.
6. Punxsutawney Phil lives with his wife Phyllis and 2 other groundhogs in the children’s section of the Punxsutawney Memorial Library.
7. In 2004, 32 six-foot “Phantastic Phils” were installed on sidewalks in Punxsutawney. 

Here is a link to the Map that shows where the 32 Phils are located!

Happy Groundhog Day! 

Oh Yeah! 

Here's Kozmo talking to our local prognostigator (Miles the Marmot) getting his autograph for his lady Love Katie!

 

February is BUSY!

Happy Love Month! And Boy oh boy is it ever busy!

Cat Health Month

 

Cat Health Month is celebrated every February and I think that is PURRFECT!! It's a dedicated time for you Peeps to focus on our (your feline friends') physical and emotional well-being through vet checkups, making sure we get proper nutrition, exercise, grooming, and play time. It's the opportunity to schedule wellness exams, update our vaccinations, ensure our teeths are in great shape! Mr Kozmo is looking forward to seeing Dr Ruth! 

Pet Dental Health 

Taking care of the teeths is important! Did you know that 80% of Dogs and 70% of cats have some dental disease? And this can cause health issues. We don't get our teeths brushed everyday, but our Peep buys us dental treets. Nutcase er Nutmeg DOES get her teeths brushed by Mom and she LOVES it! How are your teeth?  

Spay Neuter Awareness Month

Is your pet spayed or neutered?

This month is an opportunity for us all to remember the importance of these procedures for preventing animal overpopulation and advancing overall pet health. Animal Shelters see the impact every day of failure to spay or neuter. Cats and dogs are brought to shelter after being found homeless or abandoned. 

Spaying and neutering has positive effects on your companion animals and your relationship with them. Animals that have been spayed or neutered are less likely to be aggressive. Female cats, who can go into heat every three weeks throughout most of the year, will frequently escape during this time, sometimes becoming lost or injured. Spaying makes them calmer and more content at home.

Animals that are not spayed or neutered are at risk of uterine, ovarian or testicular cancer and other afflictions.

Up here, where we live in the Great White North our annual dog license fees are even lower when your pet is spayed or neutered!

Breaking News!

I caught Kozmo practicing his dance moves! 

Katie Isabella - He's getting ready for a Valentine's Blowout! 

 

 

Katie & Kozmo!

In the middle of May, I asked My Mom if we could paint a picture of Katie and Me dancing. I have not been in the best of health and have not been up to spending too many nights traipsing through the tunnels to visit my Lady Love. AND I miss her. I sent it to her as a token of my love. 
Katie Posted it on her blog and I poured out my heart to her.

Katie's Mom sent us an email of the picture they made of our digital one and hung it on the wall at Katie (and Her Mom's) House! What an HONOR! 

 I am the happiest cat in the world, knowing that my Katie will always shine in the moonlight and that the stars will shimmer brighter! 

EVERY move you make is  melody! 

I LOVE YOU!

Forever in my heart! Your Kozmo  

 

Black Cat Appreciation Day!

 Does this graphic resemble a certain Tuxedo cat that you all are familiar with? Like our resident Black (and White) Cat? Well, you would be right! Mom DID use him as the Model!

Kozmo thought we would show you some flashback photos that are Kozmo's purrsonal favorites.

As some of you know, Kozmo and Cinnamon were pair bonded. In this photo,  Kozmo is about 8 months old and Cinnamon is 2 months old. They wrestled, they played and they slept together. As they got older they did not wrestle (often) but they still slept together often and Kozmo loved to go on Cinnamon's walks.

 

 

Kozmo is a snazzy looking guy and three years ago he ordered a red bow tie on Amazon. In this Valentine card he looks just like the Man Cat in the cartoon!

 He did not like it when Mom and Nellie were living in Vancouver, but he (and Cinnamon and Jo Jo) did come for a few visits at Queen Nellie's request. Especially when she she was getting older. She loved Kozmo and he her.

 

Kozmo has a girlfriend in the blogosphere that he has loved forever! The beautiful Katie Isabella! We are so glad that they have figured out why Katie has been feeling poorly and you KNOW that not only is Kozmo sending Love and purrs, me, Marv and Jo Jo and our new hairy slobbery sister Nutmeg send healing purrayers too!

Kozmo also has some pretty terrific dance moves. Here he is on a date with Katie Isabella!

 Besides getting out and about and partying, Kozmo loves the quiet out here in our yard in the middle of nowhere. He like to spend a lot of time on the back deck watching the river go by (he says he is meditating but I did not cats snored when they meditate...)

 

Here he is last year wearing a regular tie! He wanted to impress Katie!

Austin (on the left of Katie Isabella) and Kozmo are brothers by another mother. Austin and Kozmo used to LOVE to get together and often Kozmo would bring Katie when they were going out for Fish at the Bulkeley Arms in Austin's home town in Wales.

 

 

Kozmo and Katie like jokes and they Joke around ALOT!

 

 

Kozmo is a breakfast guy - as you can tell, his favorite is Mice Krispies!

This summer has been HOT! Here is Kozmo melted into the cat tree

Kozmo has a LOT of Attitude! (But so do I, I think we got that from our Mom)

 

 

He is also an excellent typist, and really knows how to use the internet, he was Nellie Bellie's researcher and he really helps me out a lot too.

We hope you enjoyed all the photos and quick trip through Kozmo's favorite memories!
