New Recruit

Hi, everybody!  It's me, Phoebe!  Tucker's taking the day off of work today, so I am responsible for breaking in the new recruit!  

You've all met my Uncle Riley before ... but usually he's just hanging out at Grandma & Grandpa's, eating birthday cake and wearing silly glasses!  But Grandma & Grandpa are on vacation for a few days, and Uncle Riley is staying with us.  So Mom brought him along to work with us today, to help me out here at the office.  Since my main job is looking cute, I can't imagine why she thought I could use any help with THAT!!!

But anyway, he's here, and I think he did pretty good for his first day on the job.  Plus, it was fun to boss my uncle around!  

I think I'M ready for a promotion!

Night, everyone!

Two-fer Tuesday With Tucker & Phoebe

It is sunny and HOT here in Tampa on the longest day of the year!  (North of the equator, anyway!)  Happy Summer Solstice, everyone! 

Wordless Wednesday with Phoebe

Happy Memorial Day!

Hi, everyone ... it's me, Tucker.  (And Phoebe and Cosmo and Uncle Riley) ... wishing all of you a Happy Memorial Day. 

And to all of our retired and active service men and women (and their families), thank you for your service.  We appreciate your courage, and the many sacrifices, large and small, that you make to keep us safe.  We should not need a day on the calendar to remind us that freedom is never free. 

We're not lost ...

Our Mom's just really super lame these days.  Did you happen to notice that all the pictures/videos in our last three blog posts were taken in Mom's office?  There is a reason for that - and it's because we've basically been living there the last couple of weeks.  Now, I am as dedicated an employee as anyone ... and more so than most ... but I am getting fed up.  There are other things in life besides work ... and plus, helping Mom at work so much has forced me to neglect my blog and miss out on visiting our friends as much as I like to.  And, I'll just cop to this right now ... Remington, I promise that we haven't eaten any of your treats or played with your toys, but Mom has still not gotten to the post office to mail your package.  Olivia is mortified, as I am I.  And even if I have to put the bitey on her, like our friend Spitty suggests, I will make sure that it goes out on Tuesday.  (Well, ok, I won't bite Mom - I just couldn't.  It is not in my gentle nature to do such a thing.  BUT - if I have to mail it myself, I promise on my honor as a canine, that it will be in the mail on Tuesday.  Promise!)

So anyway ... Phoebe, Cosmo, Aunt K. and I are at Grandma & Grandpa's for the holiday weekend and we've been really busy playing with our Uncle Riley.  On Monday we're going to have a BBQ - I'm looking forward to that.  Maybe tomorrow I can get Mom to take some pictures of us to post so you don't forget what we look like.  But right now, Phoebe and I are tired ... and I think we're going to have to go to bed now.

Night night!

P.S.  Spitty, Olivia sends her love.  She, Tanner, and Finn are home getting "sat on."  They are not happy.  Then again, they wouldn't be happy if they were here, either.  That is one of the troubles with cats.  They are only happy when Mom never goes anywhere.  But of course that means that then Phoebe and I don't get to go anywhere either ... so since I love to travel, staying at home being sat on is just something they have to deal with every now and then.  Mom left lots of treats and nip, so I think they'll survive till we get back. 

What happened to my tail?

Hi, everyone!  It's me, Phoebe! 

So Mom took this picture of me today ... and I thought it was pretty good ... except that my tail came out all blurry!  See?

And I was like ... what is going on?!!!!!!!!!!  What is wrong with my tail?!!!!

But then I remembered ... this happens to our friend Caroline sometimes, too!  It is called RTS (restless tail syndrome).  So it's all ok. 

Monday Memories ...

Happy Monday, everyone!  It's me, Phoebe.  You know, a few months ago, I wrote about my Gotcha Day.  And then over the weekend, Mom was looking through some old pictures, and found this one of me when I was only seven months old and had only been in my forever home for about two months. 

As you can see, my coloring has changed a little bit since then.  There used to be a lot more silver and black in my coat.  And in this picture Mom had not yet gotten up the nerve to cut my curl .  Also, I was a lot littler then ... I was pretty underweight when I got adopted and I was only about six pounds in this picture.  Now I weigh nine and a half.  Mom says I really should probably weigh about nine pounds optimally, so I'm currently on a diet.  Pffft!!!!

Happy Spring!

Hi, everyone ... it's me, Phoebe!  Just popping in to wish everyone a Happy Spring!

Strolling and Sunning on Sunday ...

Hi, everyone ... it's me, Tucker!  It's been a nice, relaxing couple of days this weekend, and the weather has been gorgeous with blue skies and cool breezes.  Here in Florida, it won't be too very long before we're complaining about the heat and humidity, so days like this are really precious and it's nice when they fall on a weekend so we can really take advantage of them. 

The cat kids have been outside on the porch since early this morning, stalking lizards and doing cat stuff ... and Phoebe, Mom, and I just got back from a nice walk ...

Olivia ... relaxing.



Tanner - enjoying a nice stretch ...





Finn - watching Mom

Phoebe  - looking for squirrels ...

Have a restful Sunday, everyone ...
