SHARING THE CHAIR? NOT!

 

HAPPY ~ HAPPY ~ MEOW

 Mine Mommy is meowing-out-loud and wagging her tail 'cause she is so super-happy!  

Yesterday ... her (baby boy) son, that big tall purr-son on the right

 arrived in Baltimore with his beautiful wife (seated on the ledge), 

and her two wonderful grands ... 

that Navy boy and that lovely girl standing next to me, 

(oh my I swooned over her).  

Actually, I wasn't as a-scared of all of them as I thought I'd be.

And actually I did not get to go to the waterfront with them, I'm just purrtending

to be with them in this picture ...

They'll all go back home to Florida in just a couple days, minus one.  

The boy gets dropped off at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis 

to start a whole new adventure, a whole new life ...

we wish him well!

MAKING A PLAN

It's a new day, a new week and I'm ready to take on the world!

Well, after I check it out that is, see what's on my appointment calendar,

make a plan you know.

But then I heard mine Mommy say we wouldn't be here for a few days, she said

family was coming to visit, a bunch of peoples I don't think I've met before ... oh dear,

maybe my plan should include a quiet hidey place, I do get a little bits scared of new peoples,

even though I'm sure they'll all be very nice, she says they are ... 

anyway, it's still kind of hot out there, and I haven't been using my window-seat much

the last few days at all ... so, meow ... 

I'm going to work on that plan, and then it's off to that dark and cool

hidey place ... see you in a few.

NATIONAL SELFIE DAY

Tails and Toes Together ~ June & Ann Selfies

 

A THANKFUL THURSDAY SHORT STORY ABOUT THE "RED DOT"

 

So, there I was, resting comfortably at the foot of our bed, waiting patiently for my nighttime brushies.  Finally, mine Mommy was ready and I got in pawsition, beside her, my paws gently on her, ahem-meow, those chest-parts.  All was right in our world and I meowed, let the brushies begin and so they did and I was happy.

A moment or two later, I saw the RED DOT!  

How exciting!  Of course I had to catch it!  One always wants to catch it!

But in a millisecond our worlds turned upside down and inside out.

The brush went where no brush should ever ever go.

I screeched.

My paws with claws went where they should not have gone.

Mine Mommy screamed.

We both twisted.  We both turned.

My jaws clamped down hard on that arm with the brush and the

brush fell to the floor and mine Mommy leapt up,

running toward the litter-loo room and I ran too, I don't remember where!

The RED DOT still flashed.

I kept my distance, watching.  Watching as she washed that arm, dripping red.  I didn't understand.  Then a band-aid, and another and another and even more.  And all the while, that tempting RED DOT kept flashing.  It was all so very strange.  Finally she stopped playing "doctor", and pulled her nightshirt over her head.  OMC!  

A funny little box was attached to her, to those chest-parts and it had the flashing RED DOT!  That wasn't my RED DOT, the one I loved to chase around the house, oh noes. Then I saw her with some tape, tape it back into place and she pushed a little button and the RED DOT stopped being RED and all was right with our world again.

The next day mine Mommy took all those band-aids off her arm.

She has a really cool Connect The Dots game on her arm now,

and it's very colorful, too!

Original artwork by June, not photoshopped!

But we came to a little agreement that we'd forgo brushies for a

few days, I said that was OK.

I told mine Mommy I was sorry 'bout everything.

Mine Mommy told me she was sorry 'bout everything.

We told each other we still loved each other

a whole lot and we were very thankful to have one another.

BOX DAY

 

This one is too small.

I want my blankie in here.  No blankie, no box.

You're kidding me, right?

What the ... ?

Finally.  A box is a box is a box when it's the right box.

SLOW-BLINKING SUNDAY

Slow-blinking Love to all those wonderful Dad's,

the ones I know (meow) and all the other ones, too!

 

THE CATURDAY CAT (from a Fun Friday!)

The world looks very busy today ~

I need a closer look!

A note from mine Mommy: JUNE was certainly intent on watching something here on the street or in the sky yesterday though I've no idea just what it was.  Until ... oh no, oh dear, meow, meow!  One of the biggest and most exciting week-long events in Baltimore is beginning ~ FLEET WEEK.  And although we're planning to go enjoy much of it at the Inner Harbor tomorrow, had not paid attention to the schedule otherwise.

Shortly after 11 a.m., a booming noise so loud as to hurt ones ears came down on us, JUNE nearly flew from window to kitchen counter to top of the cabinets ... the noise was barely over ... when boom ... there it came again ... and off she went again from the cabinet tops, screeching and into the hall closet!  

Repeat.  Repeat.  Repeat over the next 30 minutes or so ... I had pulled the blinds wide open and though my ear drums ached, was thrilled and enthralled as with nose pressed to glass I viewed my own private air show in the blue skies above the city.  Military jets doing acrobatics leaving contrails, twisting, turning, climbing and diving.  Even ducked my head once as one seemed to head straight toward the building before a sharp turn upward!  Not long after, jets in formation doing flybys.  Once it quieted, JUNE came out for lunch.  Only to disappear again around 3 p.m. when a second show began.  Not a happy afternoon for her but a very fun one for the Mommy.  

P.S. we later looked at the FLEET WEEK website and learned that Friday afternoon was planned as the practice session for all the events flyovers!

Needless to say, as good as my I-phone camera might be it's not as fast as those military jets!  All I got were lots and lots of blue sky photos ...

 

FRIDAY FLASHBACK ~ FELINE FRIDAY

 Did the ball fall?

Or not?

Only the cat knows ...

FRIDAY FLASHBACK

FELINE FRIDAY

THANKFUL THURSDAY

 What's wrong with this picture?

Yeah, I know, I know, meow, meow, give the old girl time, but fur real,

I'll be thankful when mine Mommy puts my house back in order again.

WEDNESDAY WORDS

 Meow. Oh dear.

So here I am, still sitting up top here,

just like I was yesterday, 

when I was asking mine Mommy if'n I could 

have my polka dot chair back and she said

yes I could and she also said I could even start blogging again,

well, now I'm all meowy, miffed and muddled

cause I'm just not sure what to post on my bloggie ...

maybe I'll think of sumthin' by tomorrow.

Meow. Oh dear.

HAPPY JUNE-IN-JUNE TUESDAY

Meow, good, you're awake, now that you're done napping, 

can I have my polka dot chair back?

OK, but guess what I dreamt about ~ I dreamt that you could start doing some

blogging again ~ so you wouldn't miss anymore of your special

June-In-June month!

Well, meow, it's about time.  All the more reason for you to get up

and get out of my chair so I can have some of my own thinking time.

I have a lot to think about, you know and 

I think quite well while napping.

HAPPY TUESDAY

 

HAPPY HOMECOMING

 Photo from a Not-So-Easy-Sunday ~ June 2, 2024

Mine Mommy's superfriend Dee snapped this picture of me giving her a kiss-kiss

when they got home from hospital last Sunday night, like late, really late,

it was maybe already even early Monday morning.

  I was so happy she was home!  

But then Miss Dee had to take an Uber-Thing like almost another

hour back to her house, OMC!  Meows.  

Anywayz, Mommy really loved

this picture so wanted to share it, but said to say 

"sorry, we are really not

yet ready to run here, there and all over to comment on all your awesome

bloggies just yet, but will try to be back soon, thank you for understanding."

THANKFUL THURSDAY

 

Mine Mommy is still napping a whole lot.

That's kinda ok, I nap a whole lot, too.

Like right here, right now.

But every once in awhile I open my eyes to check on her, and

sometimes I even get up and go check on her like up close and purrsonal,

with a little whap on her cheek, you know, one that doesn't do a hurty.

It's good and getting better, so we're thankful,

and thankful for all your well wishes, too.

But she says we still won't visit for a few more days, or post again,

so I gotta keep my paws off the 'puter, bye now, 

JUNE

"COMMENTS OFF", Per Orders from JUNE, R.N.

 So, Sunday was s'posed to be a fun day.  Mine Mommy and her bestest friend went down to
Harbor East, planning to walk the waterfront, 

enjoy the sunshine 'n' breezes, and outdoor lunch, 

and just have lots of fun being together, girl-talk (meowing) and all that.

Things don't always go according to plan, do they ...

The sun was warm and bright, the lunch not to bad, or so it seemed.

And yet in the swish-of-a-tail, mine Mommy felt strange and all kinds of things happened

inside-and-outside and sorta went from not good to really not good.

Her bestest friend was an EMT once upon a time, WOW-MEOW, and

so when mine Mommy didn't look so good and started acting not herself,

and she "left her head" for a little while and went into a dark place,

the Uber ride was cancelled and an Ambulance ride called instead.

Thank you to the kind passerby, who just happened to be a doctor from

Johns Hopkins who came to our aid and sat with us, holding 

her hand and talking with comforting words.

Thank you to the BCFD who arrived (and mine Mommy remembers, OMC

aren't they all such handsome, big and strong young uns, oh to be

younger again! meow) ... who tended to her so quickly and well.

Thank you to many others (she did hear lots of kind voices) who paused

asking to help if they could.

Thank you to all in Emergency at Johns Hopkins Hospital who cared for her

so very well in all the many (well, yes, too many) hours that followed

and truly expressed real concern and care.

Thank you to the bestest friend, who when the dinner hour came,

took an Uber from the hospital to our apartment, just so little June me,

would not miss having my meal!  That was really super special, and

then she went right back to hospital to be with mine Mommy!

It was like very late when they came home, like almost already today,

I think.  The doctor wanted mine Mommy to stay overnight, observation he

said, but she didn't want to do that.  I think she's just stubborn that way,

she told me she needed to come take care of me (that's nice, but I'm not

real sure about that part ...).  We'll see.  She'll check in today with her good

doctor, for anything else that needs to be done.  But she says they did

every test you could think of at the hospital, so what else is there?

Me, I think it's just she's an old lady and sometimes she acts and thinks

like she's still a young lady, meow.

So, anywayz, you can say a little prayer, a purr or two for her, she's purrably

going to be fine.  And even though this is my special month,

JUNE in JUNE,

I decided to take a day or two off, so she doesn't have to sit here at this

computer, post, do commenting or all that stuff, you know, do the

"r and r" thing.

See you in a few, and thank you again to Our Bestest Friend!

JUNE in JUNE

 

And so it begins!  I'm so excited!

My Month, all month long, just for me ~ June in June!

I wait all year for this.  Mine Mommy says it's not a big-furry-deal, after all, I'm here

purrty much every day of the week of each month of all months all year, so ...

but me, hey, I say it's a don't rain on my parade kind of thing, meow.

I did have to wait one extra day, but decided that was OK,

but think I misplaced a few polka dots while waiting, will have to look for them.

So what does My Month mean ~ it means 

I get to choose my favorite old-goldie photos that I want to share,

it means I get to pose (if I want, when I want) for new photos to share!

It means if I want a day off, a day off it will be ...

And it means that right now I can say THANK YOU one and all

for stopping by yesterday to share your wonderful comments about our

CB Team, me and mine Mommy so appreciated each and every one.

We aren't even done responding to them all 'cause our

paws got tired running around the keyboard and we had to nap.

Anywayz, happy easy Sunday to all,

love and meows to all, too!

JUNE
