Spring Has Sprung...

Well, I know it's been some time since I last wrote an update...Mama Al was away at a conference in New Orleans earlier this month and then she got really busy with work.  But what I am really excited about are two things - first, it's spring and the grass is starting to get green and I really like running around in the back yard. Granted, it's been rainy, but when the sun does come out, it sure is nice to have grass under my feet and sun on my face.  I'm so glad I came to live in Michigan, even though the winter was really long.

The other thing I am really excited about is the new human that comes around our house.  Her name is Valerie and she likes me a lot.  She takes me on walks sometimes and talks nicely to me.  She seems to like Mama Al a lot, too, which is why I think she comes over.  Mama Al likes her, too.

On a sad note, a couple of weeks ago, while Mama Al was away, my kitty-brother Sam was having trouble breathing.  Our nice housesitter took him to the vet, but Sam didn't come back...I learned that Sam had congestive heart failure and Mama made a decision to let Sam go.  She told me it made her sad and that she wished she could have been here with Sam because she doesn't like us to feel alone when it's our time.

Sorry to end on such a sad note, but it's time for bed...
cheers,

Real mandogs...

don't each quiche.  Well, I would eat quiche if it were offered to me, but the point is that Mama Al spent most of Thursday and Friday last week trying to clean the house.  And I spent most of the time standing in the way...either standing in the middle of the room or right in front of the vacuum.  Mama Al kept swearing and yelling "Henry, you are SUCH a man!"  I'm not exactly sure what she means by that, but I guess after doing five loads of laundry and cleaning the bathroom, she wasn't in the bestest of moods...oh well...
Cheers,
