Feel the Love with Kismet, Froggy and Mousey


There was definitely love in the air this Valentine's evening!!

First things first though...


Best time of the day...DINNER TIME!


Mousing dining on "Lamb and Rice"


Kismet chowing - I don't even think he was taking time to breathe!


After a delicious meal, we all retired to the couch.

Happy Valentine's Day to you too, Mousey!!
Mousey kisses


Froggy joined us on "his side" of the couch. Apparently he had a hot date tonight, as he began rigorously grooming and primping.



Right down to his little toes


I'm ready for my close up, Mr. DeMille


Kismet was nearby, but wasn't joining us on the couch. Every once in a while, he'd look over at the purring Froggy and Mousey who were getting massages and lounging on their pillows.

But Kismet is no wimpy boy that needs to be coddled like a baby.
"Too Cool for School" Kismet


Or is he? Kismet....do I have to come over and get you?
Kismet sprawled out on the floor


Will Kismet join the rest of us?

He certainly did!

I love the Bunny paws!

Happy Valentine's Day from Kismet, Frog and Meep!

FKM Adventures, Part Deux

Happy Friday the 13th!! We had a very low-key and relaxing evening tonight. When I walked in the door, I got the look of, "Oh, you again. Ok. You feed us. We accept you."

All three were ready for mealtime, and after a flawless recital of "The Raven" by Froggy in honor of Friday the 13th, dinner was served.

We got it right this time! No mishaps on the rug. :)

After dinner, Mousey was having fun playing in the box in the dining room.

Keep back from my Royal Kingdom lowly peasant boys.


Now it was time to relax for a bit.
I had to have some of my new favorite tea - Sugar Cookie. Wow, is this good stuff!

Look at those little bunny paws!

Aww, Mousey! You just look so comfy!

Please...call me Meep.


Never to be outdone...Mr. Frog makes his appearance.
Hey, just in case you forgot, I'm cute too!


Froggy getting comfy on the other pillow


Oh Froggy....you are such a copycat


So, a very peaceful evening had by all! Everyone was comfy and cozy!

See you tomorrow sweet kitties!

The Adventures of Froggy, Kismet and Mousey, Part I

Hi Maren & Rom ! Hope you guys are having a great time! Every thing is under control back home. Here's a window into what the little darlings were up to tonight.....

I was greeted by very enthusiastic meows. Everyone came out to greet me, including Mousey! I got a couple kisses (from Mousey) and some purrs (Kismet) and some lively chit-chat (Froggy). Kismet quickly found a great place to relax for a bit as I was prepared their dinner.

Dry food was served first, and Froggy and Kismet ate a bit and then went to relax. Mousey was hanging out in the wings waiting for the good stuff (i.e the wet cat food). I gave them each 1/3 of the can, making sure to put Mousey's in her own "room". The boys weren't interested in the wet food and were already out in the dining room digesting their meals.

Mousey, on the other hand, made up for the boys' lack of appetites. She attacked all the food bowls and wolfed down everyone's share.

And then....
Mousey?


Really Mousey?


Wow, that girl can put it away!


I'm impressed!


Of course, I put out fresh water for all, yet when parents are away, sometimes rules tend to get broken......
Froggy?


Froggy??


Froggy!


Everything was going smoothly. There was a little playtime activity.
Mousey chasing the ball


Kismet, are you going to run after the ball too?
What do you think?


But then....out of nowhere....

I heard a sound in the hallway and went to investigate. Poor little Mousey paid the price for overeating...all over the hallway rug.
The poor hallway rug. No fear - it all came out!


Poor Mousey. She actually had a few more dry crunchies afterward and then took it easy.
Some TLC for Mousey


We had a little down-time relaxing - because I'm sure they worked hard all day today. I let them know I would be back tomorrow evening. I asked the boys to please be nice to Mousey, as she needed to take it easy tonight. They agreed, as Mousey walked by and solidified the deal with a threatening Hissssssssssss. (Apparently she was feeling much better).

Stay tuned for more Adventures!

Don't blink...you might miss me.

Fenway's Big Night in the City

Hi Mom, Dad and Gramma! I'm having a lot of fun at Uncle Steven and Auntie Debbie's!

At first I was a little uncertain about the whole thing....



But then I quickly settled in!



I put on my best cute act, but Uncle Steven wouldn't give me a bite of his lunch. Hmmph! This usually works with Gramma...


Maybe if I come down here so he can see my cuteness more....


Oh well. Guess I'll settle for some chicken leg!


Uncle Steven, will you come out with me for another walk?


I'm all ready for my walk! Let's go!


Look at me walking in the city!


Chicago is my kind of town!


Don't I look good in the snow?


Whew, that was a long walk. I'm pooped!


Well, I'll write more later. I think I am going to stretch out a little bit and watch some TV. I'm feeling a bit sleepy and....


Zzzzzzzzz


(Fenway will write more later!)
