Please remember to Help Mittens and her Kittens!

I asked my Mom to remind everyone that we are raising money this month for Mittens and her kittens.  My Mom found out yesterday that Mittens is recovering well and that her kittens are doing great. We look forward to reading that they, like me, are adopted and will have happy spoiled lives ^..^  Any purchase you make during February will contribute toward the total amount we are donating to BARCS to help defray the costs of Mittten and her kittens, and also Marilyn, another cat that was harmed in Baltimore City a few weeks ago. The Ava Anderson line has expanded - it now includes skin care, hair care, makeup, body lotion, body gel and oh, so much more...check it out and help my relatives - www.AvaAndersonNontoxic.com/patlehr.

I am not sure what happened today! I woke in the middle of the nite and there was NO food. I was very hungry but my Mom seemed to be ignoring me.  Next thing you know I was in an elevator. I don't really think I liked that at all, but it was better than the veterinarian visit. I overheard the veterinarian telling my Mom I have "petite veins;" I don't know what that means but they must have liked them because they poked three of them. It took hours for me to clean myself up when I got home. Then I bit my Mom - not really a bite but she said I smelled and I did not like that - she said it was perfume and she wished I did not smell like that. I mean really, who likes to be told they smell after they spent hours cleaning and cleaning? Has she ever had a mouth full of hair from cleaning herself? I think not...happy weekend! We have windows open!

We Love you Kelly!

This is me sitting at the computer - I am getting ready to write a new post on my blog - I am so excited; you can almost see steam coming out of my ears as I think of exactly the right thing to say!  My Mom said I should start by wishing everyone a belated new year...Happy 2011!

January is a special month for us - on January 16th of each year we do a happy dance and celebrate the day Kelly and her family - Kathy, Kevin, Megan, Shannon, Murphy and Sadie - came into our lives. My Mom says Kelly is a wonderful friend and role model. I don't know what a role model is but know it must be good. We are thrilled to have the entire family in our lives and consider January 16th an extra special day. Every year we remember how thankful we are for the many blessings Kelly has had and brought to us. Kelly always makes my Mom smile - my Mom says you cannot look at a picture of Kelly with her beaming smile and not smile back! 

In 2009 I was able to meet Kelly and her family. My Mom came home from a very hot and extremely humid day in DC looking, if you will excuse the expression, "like something the cat dragged in!"  The next week everyone came to our house. I had my picture taken with Shannon - it is one of my favorites! I would like to note that I would never "drag" anything in the house. That would be undignified and beneath me ^..^

Kelly and Megan spent this past weekend at the Ronald McDonald Camp.  Every time you are in McDonald's please make a donation in the little boxes that sit by the cash register. Those donations support the camps and the Ronald McDonald Houses throughout the country. If you are like my Mom and would not eat at McDonald's if you were starving to death you can make a donation at http://rmhc.org/how-you-can-help/donate/!
