We want to thank everyone for all the thoughts, prayers and cards when Kirby left us. We miss him so much. Mom was so use to him meeting her at the door so he could run outside, that she still hesitates when she opens it. He loved going outside when she out for the mail. <p></p><p><br /></p><p>Christmas: That boy loved Christmas. He would play in the wrapping paper as the grand kids ripped it off. When our Secret Paws came every year, he would paw and claw at it till Mom let us open it. This year it was so different. Our Secret Paws Partner was Paw News for Cat Lovers by BJ Bangs. Mom called us to come help open the package and I would not come out of the bedroom! Max joined her for a sniff and walked away. </p><p> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjv7jtPBesNoEKBIVb22Rm7PudZGqPIQg8EgNs6kfHBTaHzMPGBcPDaReGOkNhBJkTQkvujnRpoU85mp0HopYMo5-1yey1ejj3npn1j0jnioCu2UzqP7kFdsWPYv0xHFmLdEPkjE9RxU2LrEV2IcwLTpt49FtX0_RG6ONUgKzaVfd5rKlHjYrPwwg=s4032" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjv7jtPBesNoEKBIVb22Rm7PudZGqPIQg8EgNs6kfHBTaHzMPGBcPDaReGOkNhBJkTQkvujnRpoU85mp0HopYMo5-1yey1ejj3npn1j0jnioCu2UzqP7kFdsWPYv0xHFmLdEPkjE9RxU2LrEV2IcwLTpt49FtX0_RG6ONUgKzaVfd5rKlHjYrPwwg=s320" width="320" /></a></div><br /> Usually Max always picked out his toy and left the rest to us.

Thank you for the lovely fun gifts. <br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Tuesday was Kirby's 12th gotcha day. Mom did not want to get out of bed to post about it. And then her Great Grandson made an early and abrupt entrance into the world. He was 9 or 10 weeks early but came out screaming! 2 lb.s 6 oz.s and 14 inches long. He and his Mom are doing great. They have her blood pressure under control now. He is breathing on his own and has a feeding tube for breast milk. It will probably be 2 or 3 months (when he gets out of NICU) before we get to see him!<br /></p>Angel, Kirby and Maxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17142914249981749713noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734799581400320526.post-45346189090963879392022-01-13T11:30:00.004-08:002022-01-13T11:30:00.174-08:00Our Secret Paws<p> Sorry we're so late posting this.

In our corner of the world…zooming in to our home, we spent the evening with Mom. Dosed off until a firecracker woke me. Most annoying, the cacophony of car alarms were distressing to feline and human ears alike.</p><p><br /></p><p>We had to wait until yesterday to open our Secret Santa Paws box. Pals, Onyx and I were blessed with our Secret Santa. As I mentioned before, this is Onyx’s year of firsts and top of the list has been participating in Secret Santa Paws exchange. When Mom opened the box, that boy just didn’t know what to rip apart first. I wasn’t feeling well, so I let him enjoy the smelling, ripping, biting to his little heart’s content. And we still haven’t made a dent in opening our gifts.</p><p>Here are a couple of pictures, </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgf38CYIJVOJuV2ShCp8cv_fqNw4uCOTcqb1g3-oDaRoLGWaVb5n59geeFaBk53Y8bfSz2AvRyXzixahTIZpgChQoRDOGEzgvYPD4qkLOMOkHnsoZGY7QJDnIKEGQurv6xV5lAoHFqnMVH5GEJ8cEP02J6KN-UvGyDJlI4GplLSHZ1S8_4eFQrIZQMMhw=s2048" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgf38CYIJVOJuV2ShCp8cv_fqNw4uCOTcqb1g3-oDaRoLGWaVb5n59geeFaBk53Y8bfSz2AvRyXzixahTIZpgChQoRDOGEzgvYPD4qkLOMOkHnsoZGY7QJDnIKEGQurv6xV5lAoHFqnMVH5GEJ8cEP02J6KN-UvGyDJlI4GplLSHZ1S8_4eFQrIZQMMhw=s320" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgge0UKKaI4rBPRejtIO6-6ZtLGlMDSX3b2PtpnQNbfAgAuocSKcniW2UC8uTW0oRnEQngWQwUOl3DHgP3PQn826j8lJSwYmJ-NbQ_PMwo9u9nLp0b_DUtM-aLdSbp_wMVDbyMzJDw1uLhXd0A6Fpt1RqiTsekrWbL2nfdRa2_ldEXO-pZOsppNcjyWDg=s2048" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgge0UKKaI4rBPRejtIO6-6ZtLGlMDSX3b2PtpnQNbfAgAuocSKcniW2UC8uTW0oRnEQngWQwUOl3DHgP3PQn826j8lJSwYmJ-NbQ_PMwo9u9nLp0b_DUtM-aLdSbp_wMVDbyMzJDw1uLhXd0A6Fpt1RqiTsekrWbL2nfdRa2_ldEXO-pZOsppNcjyWDg=s320" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhXAFTDXVHOMsCd0TMhzoqivUg2a2qgnB8SGwCiAqdg2TP9UX9egkQjbJGn7oDuLDGc8pTYFLB0sRithuoLkUMEJFwYTVsgysiYu0gftGsYs1Pz0CGjXgZ3xWqRrMtPqbJkFyJpL_uwowrfD4wB8ELdOuZydPjk4dqgGv_JS3oGQEzFn2Rjc1vttI8QfA=s2048" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhXAFTDXVHOMsCd0TMhzoqivUg2a2qgnB8SGwCiAqdg2TP9UX9egkQjbJGn7oDuLDGc8pTYFLB0sRithuoLkUMEJFwYTVsgysiYu0gftGsYs1Pz0CGjXgZ3xWqRrMtPqbJkFyJpL_uwowrfD4wB8ELdOuZydPjk4dqgGv_JS3oGQEzFn2Rjc1vttI8QfA=s320" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi2WJNJlsmbv_NuDOUT5e4WFfliaaV17Gmwn1-PvdONR7Gsb_WDl5Ow1QB9nqL5fcvNJdQDwrFQc00NDF_9ITBLUMm7P34hcNfCI31lM3VX--CYjtdj5rRoM9iUPGN0erkz0ULiNUD5mRrT2RW1uJkrN5Z26D8W1cofhuSZi6EIlzbKUtVvMkpnZw3ASw=s2048" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi2WJNJlsmbv_NuDOUT5e4WFfliaaV17Gmwn1-PvdONR7Gsb_WDl5Ow1QB9nqL5fcvNJdQDwrFQc00NDF_9ITBLUMm7P34hcNfCI31lM3VX--CYjtdj5rRoM9iUPGN0erkz0ULiNUD5mRrT2RW1uJkrN5Z26D8W1cofhuSZi6EIlzbKUtVvMkpnZw3ASw=s320" width="240" /></a></div><br /><p>We’d like to thank <a href="https://fourleggedfurballs.blogspot.com/">Four-Legged Furballs</a> and their Mom and Grandma who selected our gifts and even made some of the gifts for us! </p><p>Here I am right now in my new bed with matching blankie and pillow.

Santa Paws Came to Town. Our Home! The Reveal!<p> Hello everyone in all time zones!</p><p>We hope everyone had a wunnerful Catmas!</p><p>As previously posted, I found a huge box on my side of the bed and Mom told me it was from our Secret Paws! But we weren’t allowed to open the box until December 25. I promptly went into shock. As you can well see, #CatmasEve Pawty came and went, so did Catmas Day and what happened to our box?</p><p>Well Mom has been under the weather a little bit as she got a booster shot on Dec 26. Nothing major but she’s been resting (for some reason, this time she got dizzy). So we have made a date to open the box on New Year’s Day and we will post pictures for all too see. However, we did find out who sent us this wonderful huge box,,,,</p><p><b>THE REVEAL!</b> Our Secret Paws for 2021 are The Four-Legged Furballs and their mom, Lorianne! We thank you from the bottom of our little hearts for being so kind to us! I know we will love everything you sent us, especially Onyx who’s having his first Secret Paws box this year!</p><p>We also want to thank you for the card you sent us, here I am with your card as I dictate this post to Mom.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

We know our Secret Paw has got most of our gifts except one. OK. OK, yes we even by the Dec. 15 Deadline. We actually sent it on Cyber Monday. Our gifts came from Amazon so we can track them. Well first we got a notification a few days ago the shipment of our last Prezzie was delayed but should there December 20. No big deal that's before Christmas so we were OK with that. However, late last night we got another email from Amazon saying something to the effect of we're sorry for the inconvenience and disappointment we've caused you up to this point but were sorry but we had to cancel your item and you're not charged. To Say The least, Mom Crystal was not a happy shopper and she talked with an Amazon representative via Chat and they him hawed around about the problem. They kept telling her it won't happen in the future and don't worry about it. Mom Crystal pushed and pushed until they finally told her it was a problem.</span></div></div><div>The good news is our Secret Paw isn't out a gift but still has another gift coming. We are trying to get the gift to our Secret by Christmas and if it doesn't arrive by Christmas it will arrive soon after.</div><div>Mom Crystal is so sorry and asks our Secret Paw to be patient with us as this problem was Amazon's fault not our. </div><h4 style="text-align: center;">🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄Merry Christmas Everyone!!🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄</h4><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgvKWzQiE9G5EcHWxW0cqpQlChO6dv1DbpeabXySLEhXg3dM73s81BlswAjYWVc0pmZ3Dt5aE0ME6pDI-a8JiRx4eYObaezOxDHhll8MJRu0-V_84ApUDxAVaXAJwwaAhClqt2X0UomCzlMg4ifX7zQErjCMbaqonyU-1BVIY8-h_nzmcU5xoVPlQjA=s700" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="233" data-original-width="700" height="107" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgvKWzQiE9G5EcHWxW0cqpQlChO6dv1DbpeabXySLEhXg3dM73s81BlswAjYWVc0pmZ3Dt5aE0ME6pDI-a8JiRx4eYObaezOxDHhll8MJRu0-V_84ApUDxAVaXAJwwaAhClqt2X0UomCzlMg4ifX7zQErjCMbaqonyU-1BVIY8-h_nzmcU5xoVPlQjA=s320" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div>Crystal And Daisy Mae</div>CRYSTALhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13724689604511809997noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734799581400320526.post-55246810995778567472021-12-17T21:30:00.007-08:002021-12-17T21:30:00.208-08:00Our Secret Paw Package is On It's Way<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiy1fHdxMpT4Cd96Ged9m06I3QV2PNzTLpOlIGVoROcMwOrV9n7Gp-vv3uD-PMzE4gSFuzmisJkNYnDtvkyLYH2t1pXupzoY0TZzloHzMal4o3GSe_zKftUbOCenNLwR4MyrakcGqhGDK4OEckqjhk_8Ib0SbPQjsvfI9zJ-jh1FFamK0qJcCvqE82l=s3000" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="3000" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiy1fHdxMpT4Cd96Ged9m06I3QV2PNzTLpOlIGVoROcMwOrV9n7Gp-vv3uD-PMzE4gSFuzmisJkNYnDtvkyLYH2t1pXupzoY0TZzloHzMal4o3GSe_zKftUbOCenNLwR4MyrakcGqhGDK4OEckqjhk_8Ib0SbPQjsvfI9zJ-jh1FFamK0qJcCvqE82l=s320" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg4yoeve-tVpE9q00sBzufLg7vZpdzd-MwRuDqfWKVr9gV5TsZM5zoR0OYQs9CFOJQjMxGmjXOHRe8Al9fiiS6EQmAzT1Q25c83viOrEFDdW8zprHt2IG4e0BG2zQL85n2a3qck0z8hxud4d-yJkkJFtYUd9Al_KtKCo9fMCPQ-JN_H9aw0_xvrl5I3=s500" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="281" data-original-width="500" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg4yoeve-tVpE9q00sBzufLg7vZpdzd-MwRuDqfWKVr9gV5TsZM5zoR0OYQs9CFOJQjMxGmjXOHRe8Al9fiiS6EQmAzT1Q25c83viOrEFDdW8zprHt2IG4e0BG2zQL85n2a3qck0z8hxud4d-yJkkJFtYUd9Al_KtKCo9fMCPQ-JN_H9aw0_xvrl5I3=s320" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p> Good Morning/Evening Humans and fur friends, I am here to tell you our Secret Paw presents are on their way.

My Human Mom thought I needed some fun since 2020 had been a rough year to put it mildly. I'm a 14+ year old Cat and always can use fun. Secret Paws 2020 did not disappoint that's for sure.</span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;">I had the fun opportunity to buy for another special Kitty Cat and who was that? Well that special Kitty Cat was Summer (AKA Summer Samba). OH what fun Mom Crystal and I had buying gifts for Summer.</h3><h3 style="text-align: left;">Now on to my Secret Paws gifts. OH my what a surprise it was when I found out who my Secret Paw was. First, I was surprised to find out my Secret Paw wasn't just one Kitty Cat but a group of animals and their human. So Who were my Secret Paws and What did I get from my Secret Paw? I got:</h3><h3 style="text-align: left;">1.) A Pet Water Fountain.</h3><h3 style="text-align: left;">2.) Fresh Pack Variety - A variety of flavors.</h3><h3 style="text-align: left;">3.) 30 oz. Chicken Treats By Temptations.</h3><h3 style="text-align: left;">4.) A pole with a feather at the end that extends up to 4 feet.</h3><h3 style="text-align: left;">5.) A Laser Light.</h3><h3 style="text-align: left;">6.) Mom Crystal got Goat's Milk Soap.</h3><h3 style="text-align: left;">That's right, my Secret was nice enough to get Mom Crystal something too.</h3><h3 style="text-align: left;">You are all probably wondering who my Secret Paw is. Well I'm going to tell you. My Secret Paw was: Sherpa, Harry, Puffball, Fang, Queenie, and Cappuccino the Bunny plus we can't forget their human Patty.</h3><h3 style="text-align: left;">P.S. If anyone knows Sherpa, Harry, Puffball, Fang, Queenie and Cappuccino the Bunny's blog site address please let us know. We would love to visit and even possibly follow them.</h3><h3 style="text-align: left;">Thank You Paula for heading up Secret Paws. I had a blast and look forward to possibly doing it next year.</h3><h3 style="text-align: left;">You can find our other secret Paw post at our other blog at <a href="https://crystalsphotobloggingsite.wordpress.com/2020/12/27/daisy-maes-1st-secret-paw🎄🎄🎄🎄/" target="_blank">DAISY MAE'S 1ST SECRET PAW🎄🎄🎄🎄</a></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;">Crystal And Daisy Mae</h3><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6zFJqKjnd7o3aSmup9HiRJo8v1LHWrFUoIRtb1W-PpB0gLcDNhwmO8iAJnu4TiEWq9PxEpP8CQjIEpSBdSwQUlHyM2ncydewsXG1u_hMRpNbwE6Rb63GCL4iAd6bSMbV6mOef9JYvGS4/s700/choclate-christmas-train1.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="233" data-original-width="700" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6zFJqKjnd7o3aSmup9HiRJo8v1LHWrFUoIRtb1W-PpB0gLcDNhwmO8iAJnu4TiEWq9PxEpP8CQjIEpSBdSwQUlHyM2ncydewsXG1u_hMRpNbwE6Rb63GCL4iAd6bSMbV6mOef9JYvGS4/w640-h212/choclate-christmas-train1.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><br /></h3><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /> </div>CRYSTALhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13724689604511809997noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734799581400320526.post-78210262271026272082021-01-05T19:05:00.004-08:002021-01-05T19:05:59.382-08:00Thank You Secret Paws!<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMTG_sxVibbMjMITGJNH7ZKpV56PlV-T2XWIcs9kTfPKr1j-rJekwru1n7-IyRvD4fkT1uPuKeMhgo7X4CagaCJnrPu697q5CtYeVctnAVTjRUKkzZpVBILn-XiqstskZ7KWawwofRJwtH/s2048/PC250341.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMTG_sxVibbMjMITGJNH7ZKpV56PlV-T2XWIcs9kTfPKr1j-rJekwru1n7-IyRvD4fkT1uPuKeMhgo7X4CagaCJnrPu697q5CtYeVctnAVTjRUKkzZpVBILn-XiqstskZ7KWawwofRJwtH/w400-h300/PC250341.jpeg" width="400" /></a></p><p style="text-align: left;">Well, you know the saying "time flies when you're havin' fun"?
