I am but a small stone tossed into the great pond of the world, but the ripples I create will echo long after I am gone.

Dad: I read the story of Liam and his beloved companion, Theo, and I was deeply moved. We may not all agree with the reason that Liam and Theo died for, but none one can critize the love that Theo had for his master. This story is for them.Cirrin hovered over the sleeping body of his new charge; A black and white mottled springer spaniel named Theo who slept peacefully at his master's side.

The rest of this commercial is pretty much crap. But if you watch for the Ginger Cat on the counter top, then you get to see a cat being a cat.A very distracted Ginger Cat has found something utterly fascinating at the bottom of a coffee cup. It happens at the 0:08 second mark.It made my day. Dolce and Bella do this all the time.

It has been almost eleven months since he suddenly left us.As anyone who has lost a beloved pet, friend and companion, it is always the firsts after their passing that are the hardest; The First Christmas, the First Birthday, The First Anniversary of their passing.You

Dad: This was supposed to be a Christmas Story. Unfortunately, I have been very bad about delivering these stories. But then I found that the stories are less about Christmas and more about the power of love. I have given hints about what happens in the precursor to this story, Jingles and the Wishbringer. I had trouble finishing this story in the world of Jingles and the North Pole. Today, I

Dad: It's been a while since I was here with my beloved furriends. I have missed each and every one of you. I would like to say that work took me away, but the real reason is that I still miss my beloved Magoo. Everytime I tried to write, I found myself thinking of him and missing him. Dolce and Baci have tried to fill his pawprints. I love them more than I can possibly say, but they are not

Dad: I don't like to leave a story unfinished, but I am unable to finish (share) the ending of last year's story "Jingles and the Wishbringer".Don't get me wrong, it is finished, but the story took me to a place that Magoo's passing was too hard for me to share. I miss him...We all do in our house...We don't have anyone to remove the gift tags from all presents, forcing us to unwrap them to

Dad: When I started telling stories here at Dolce's Story Chair, I envisioned a large chair that of all us could sit and enjoy some stories that I had thought up. I used to put a really bad picture of a red chair on the blog to signify that this was a Story Chair moment...I'm sorry. It was pretty lame.Then my furry inspirations decided to help me out...Welcome to the Story ChairDad: This is a

Magoo is not feeling very well. He collapsed as Grandma was getting his breakfast ready. He has to go see Dr.Nick. We are very worried.Update: 5:20pmThis morning at 10:00am, my wife and I went to the Vet and met up with Grandma. Magoo was already in the incubator getting oxygen when we arrived. He was clearly in distress. His gums had turned blue which meant he wasn't able to take in enough

Thirteen years ago, an angel came to earth. He did not have wings, but had four huge grey paws instead. He did not have a halo, but had a fluffy little tail instead. We did not know it at the time, but this little angel was made just for us. The paws are still huge, and the little tail has grown into a long dust mop. He may have changed and grown up into a handsome mancat, but he will always be

Sorry that it has been so long since we have posted any pictures. We have been busy with our two new housemates and the chaos that has ensued. Which brings us to the purpose of this post.Baci is being a jerk. He keeps chasing Chloe and Smudge. There have been couple of fur-flying fights, which has upset Grandma terribly. So we decided that we need to stop encouraging Baci's bad behaviour and at

Jingles and the Furry HelpersPart 5B: A Hectic Ride homeSanta and Jingles stared at the three little forlorn faces in the cardboard box. Each of the kittens were staring right back at Santa and Jingles. Jingles felt a deep excitement within his chest. He tried to fight it but his very audible purr betrayed his happiness. The loneliness that had plagued him at the North Pole was gone. The sorrow

Jingles and the Furry HelpersPart 5A: A Hectic Ride home “On Dasher, On Dancer, On Prancer and Vixen!” Santa called out to his magical reindeer. “On Comet, On Cupid, On Donner and Blitzen!”Santa’s reindeer strained against the sleigh. There was a most unChristmas-like screech of steel runner on snow-clad asphalt. Slowly, the sleigh picked up speed. Soon it jumped free of the snow lined street and

Jingles and the Furry HelpersPart 4: One Last GiftJingles and Santa made their yearly trip around the world. Now that Jingles was no longer hanging out the back of the sleigh or trying to time his jumps through Santa’s fireplace portals, the trip went quicker for both Jingles and Santa. It went so well that Santa let Jingles have several extra minutes with his brother and sister at one house and

In the comments of our last post, Grr, Midnight and Cocoa made a very special request. It was not special in what it asked but in the way it asked it.During the Christmas Holiday, I was working and at the same time trying to progress the story of one of my favorite characters, Jingles. One night I had a dream. Now I am a believer in what some people call Vivid Dreaming. A dream so real and true

Smudge and Chloe have now been here for two whole days, and I wanted to give all our furriends out there an update as to how everyone is doing.Day One:Smudge and Chloe were confined to the new room downstairs. They both preferred to hide under covers on the side of the bed or under the improvised tent I made with their blanket and a footstool.Chloe did not let out a single peep, but Smudge was a

Dolce was right. Her furriends are very smart. Some of you guessed exactly what is about to happen very soon. This weekend to be exact.But before I go into any details, we must enter the Cat Time Warp Machine and set the dials for minus 2 years...Well here we are and it is Nov. 21, 2006...

We aren't very happy with Dad about it, but he sat down with us and explained what was happening in and to our house.First off there is stuff all over the place, which is okay 'cause Baci and I has lotsa places to play. Then there is the dust, which is not okay 'cause we has to lick dat stuff outta our furrs.So now we know what Dad has been doing

We lost a lot of furriends this year. Too many, some far too soon.Early on, I tried to post a tribute to each furriend we lost. But as we lost more and more furriends, especially ones that we had come to live, laugh and love with, I found it harder and harder to post each tribute.I decided not to put the tributes on this blog. Mostly because my own posts were so few and far between that I worried

We don't care if another cat prefers shade. If a cat doesn't like it, they will just ignore it.Dad: What are you trying to say?

I have been lax in posting here on the cats' blog for the last three weeks. Part of it is due to Dolce's (and prior to her, Smudge's) nemesis, Mr. Project and part of it is due to our at-home schedule.The majority of which has been spent ferrying a different batch of cats to and from Dr.Nick's office. Because we have four cats of varying personalities and affection for one another, Dr Nick

This is the Dad here. Now that the cats have apologized for slandering my good name, I decided to get off my butt and get the video of the fishes published.So here is the first installment of CatTV: The Sushi Files... If it fails to load, it is Baci's fault. He was drooling all over the keyboard and he might have broken the Intertubes.

We have four(five) cats in our house, each has a personality. One that that is unique to each of the little furrballs. One is a Soldier, a Defender, a Knight who knows no fear. One is Lover (Healer) who gives his heart and strength to whoever needs it most. One is a Thinker. To look into her eyes is to look into the eye piece of the Hubble telescope (I see the stars and see what lays beyond.) I

Happy Purrthday Magoo!Today you are 12 years old! Just remember that no matter how old you get, you will always be our fuzzy gund.You have become a great Mancat. A terror to all who try to invade your territory. Master of all that you can survey from your deck.Loves you lots,Mom and Dad.

Dad: Welome Back to Dolce's Story Chair. The catmilk is ready, as are the tuna and catnip cookies as well as some leafy greens and munchies for our vegetarian furriends. Dolce and Baci are sleeping at my side as I tell this part. They stayed up while I wrote this so they are a little tuckered out right now. So please, pull up a cushion.

It has turned very cold here in the Great White North, which is also living up to its nickname. Right now it is -30 Degrees Celcius, -45 with the Windchill. That is far too cold for human or furry beast.Baci think the cold weather had fogged my thoughts because I forgot a very important day for him. It was one year ago yesterday, January 27th, that he first graced our doorstep. I told him that

I couldn't sleep last night so I got up and watched some TV in the living room so that my wife would not be disturbed. There was some crappy movie on as well as the usual late night junk. The only entertainment I saw was some previously unwitnessed Dolce/Baci antics. From about 11:45pm to 1:30am, they ran and chased each other over and around the sofa. Magoo and Bella were sound asleep. Why?

I have written a lot about the bonding that has occurred between Baci and Dolce. But there is one effect of this bonding that I have not written about; its effect on Bella.Bella has always been a very independant cat. She would play with Smudge and even with Magoo sometimes, but she never seemed to need to play with either of them. When we brought Dolce home, Dolce wanted to play with Bella after

I have barely been able to keep my New Year's resolution. I have no right to complain because I have a great job with an employer that measures me on terms that I can live with and excel at.

First, Dolce wanted to thank everyone for their wonderful comments about this year's Christmas Story. Once is an event, twice is a tradition? If that is the case I will have to start thinking now about next year's story. I do have a question for all the furriends who read and left comments. Is it too drawn out? Is it too long? Should it start earlier so that it is done on or before the 23rd of

I was reading Miles and Sammy's blog and I noticed that they had a blog anniversary countdown widget. I thought that's kind of cool and it got me thinking... When is my blog anniversary?Well it turns out it is in two days. Two Days! I couldn't believe it. The cats have been sharing their stories and adventures for two whole years. I almost missed it. I know that Dolce would have never let me hear

Last weekend, my wife and I got our Christmas tree setup for the season. Of course it is minus any ornaments at this time. We do this every year in hopes that the cats will get bored of the brightly lit tree after a week and then we can start putting all of the ornaments and ribbon on it.Last year, Dolce and Bella took turns going for rides in the tree. (My wife purchased a tree that rotates.)

I know from reading all of Magoo, Smudge, Bella, Dolce and Baci's furriends blogs that many of us have found our beloved companions at different stages of their lives. Some were adopted as wee kittens (Magoo, Smudge, Bella and Dolce), some as older kittens (Baci), and some as adult cats (Grandma's furriend, Chloe). So I ask you...when you look at your furriend what do you see...When my dear wife

I have a question for my cat-blogging furriends...Do You Suffer From Sudden Hollow Leg Syndrome?Dad says he feeds me plenty and that my food bowls always have some munchies. He says that I must have a hollow leg or something, because I always seem to be hungry. Now I have checked all of my legs and not one of them seems to be hollow. I even had Dolce check them out. She bit each one. I can tell

It has been far too long since I have posted anything here. The problem with blogging is that there is a fine line between describing every bowel movement of every single cat in the house and stories of major events and happenings from your pets perspective. I got lost trying to find a happy medium. That, and trying to get our stories ready for the new book.I could try to recap what the

Dad tried to fool me into thinking we were going out to find party stuff for Dolce's purrthday party tomorrow. If I have a choice in this outing, why do you have the PTU out, I asked. Dad stammered and mumbled. I was not fooled. You are taking me to that quack, Dr. Nick. I reminded Dad that the last time I went there, Dr. Nick took some of my bloods and did not give them back.

Before I explain the title of this post, I should let you know that Baci and Dolce are with me on Project. There is a reason why they are with me and not Bella. I will explain later why, but be assured there is nothing wrong with any of the four cats in our household.We have tried many different ways to manage the output from our four cats. We orginally used the self-cleaning litter boxes, but

I have mentioned before that Bella is my Thinker. She is also Queen of the Household. She is also one of the hardest of my cats to write about. To say there is nothing special about her would be a lie, so there are things about her I could write. But she is so quiet and independent in her ways, they might seem to be no different than what you see your own beloved cats doing. Bella shares a treat
