Throwback Thursday

 Today would have been Miss Cassie's Birthday.

Unfortunately she left for the Rainbow Bridge.  We still miss her.

I really liked waking in the night to see and feel her on my lap.

She was Ginny's cat and then she was Jon's

 He took her with her to University and she did not thrive in that environment.  His roommate had a cat that did not get along with her so I allowed her to live with us.

She was fine there.  She could handle dogs, just not other cats.  So arrangements were that as long as Jon took care of the kitty litter she could with us.

 She liked men and some women.  She always "nipped" at Jon but it was just love bites.  She tried to do it with me but I didn't like that so she just had to be content with letting me scratch her ears.

She was not really good a purring but she was loving in her her way.

We miss her.

Cassie crossed the Rainbow Bridge this morning.

Cassie was born September 1, 1998.

The itty bitty mini kitty who I named for Cass County Minnesota where Leech Lake is located and Cass County Iowa where I was born.

My Sister wrote this.  Cassie was first, her cat, then Jon's and at the end she lived with me.  We will miss her.

Molly and Todd and Cassie on Monday

BG took some pictures of the flowers for you to see.

 Molly here,

   Jon was here.  He was in town to go to a funeral and he wanted to see Cassie (and me (and Todd)).  Cassie is not in good shape.  She has been feeling poorly.  Dr. Brenda looked her over and she has kidney disease.  B G has worried about her but there is not much he can do.

Most of the time she is here watching the grass grow.












She has gotten blind also but she knows where to go and gets to her food knows how to find BG for scratches.  She climbs up to him for sleeping also.

 B G found a new bird.  It is a Blue Jay.

B G likes it because it is like his name  (Jay) -

Here are some pictures of Me and Todd and Jon.  We had a good time.

Todd is starting get better around people and he and Jon were getting acquainted  

 Here is a movie.

                                           

Molly on Monday

Molly here,

Well the Big Guy has been messing with the computer again.  He installed something called Mavericks and we are not sure we like it.  But as they say, we are stuck with it so I guess we are going to have to live with it.

In the meantime let me tell you about Miss Cassie.  It seems that she does not understand what a window is.  For that matter neither do birds, they are always flying into it and bumping their heads.

Miss Cassie finds that endlessly fascinating.  She will go to the window and stand up on her back legs and stare out at them.

First she looks to the left -

Then she looks to the right.

There are more of them over to the right so she keeps her eyes on them longer.



Then she turns around and sits sweetly as if she did not have murder on her mind.  Cats!

I don't understand them.  I have a few pictures of me which B G took while I was listening to a video on his computer.

I was curious as to what was going on.  I could hear barking and a springing noise but sold not see it.  So I just listened.  He got some good pictures of me.  He tried to take a video but as usual he messed up... Oh well, typical!

For now that is all except for the picture which John took and photoshopped a fox into it.  He and B G have been discussing the song "What does the Fox Say?"  I think it is silly.

Here is the link to what I was listening to.

But they say people have always had silly songs.  Like "Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Polka Dot Bikini."  

And B G's Favorite just click below to listen.

Molly on Monday

Molly here,  This is my favorite picture that B G took rhis week.

It has not been what I call a good week.  I hate thunder and lightening.  I went in here a lot to sit on my bed (it used to be B G's until he hurt his shoulder so now he sleeps on the recliner - I sleep there too when it is storming. A lot of the time I sat on B G's lap and he petted me to make me feel better.  I liked that.

The other thing that wasn't good was that Dr. Brenda came.  But she was not here to see me.  She was here to see Miss Cassie.  I don't know why she didn't pay more attention to me. I had to go and sit on B G's lap while Cassie got all of Dr. Brenda's attention.  At least she got a shot and I didn't

I guess there is a trade off.  I don't like shots and she did pet me a little.







B. G. left me alone a couple of times. Ginny's new car had to be taken some place to get fixed so he and Bruce had to go to a place called Indianola. They left it there.

Then B G had to do what he called "taxi service" for Ginny and take her to work and pick her up.  He let me ride along.  That was fun.

He tool all the covers off from my bed to wash them.

Then when he put them back he covered me up with them  I don't like covers.

So I got out from under and I know you have seen this picture before but I like it best. Look at it again.

All this posing wore me out. Nap time.

Here are some things we saw on our trip.  This was a strage looking thing outside a building at Iowa State.  It moves with the wind.  B G said it was a "Cyclone"  - I thought it was dumb and so did Bruce.

Then we went by this house that some guy lives in who is a fan of the Civil War.  He made his house look like a Plantation and has a carved tree in front with Civil War Era figures on it.  B G thought that it was nice but he would like to have seen that house on an acreage with no other houses close by.  Oh well - to each his own.

Have a Grrrreat Week - Woof!
