Super Saturday

I have been exploring. It's pretty cool around here.

There is going to be a big party here later.

 Mom and the Pretty Girl went swimming. (Needless to say I did NOT do that.)

Mr Karate went swimming too.

 I would love to climb this little house, but Mom says I can't.

There's always tomorrow!

Family Friday

Yesterday started with a walk around the neighborhood with Mim-may.

 (And a cup of coffee at the local bakery.)

  Then Auntie Karate and PlusOne arrived and shook things up a bit with their Nerf guns.

 Then it was time to drive to the mountains.

We drove.

And drove,

Until finally we got to the mountains, then we drove some more.

Until finally we got here.

I am so tired. I need a nap.  It's gonna be a big day tomorrow.

Where I Am!

Oh holy carp! This place is amazing.

Mom and I went for a walk near this pretty park.

This is where I am! Old Torrance.

I had to try my paw at climbing a palm tree.  Can you find me?

We all had breakfast at Martha's 22nd Street Grill in Redondo Beach.

I found foods heaven!

I helped Mom find some Chocolate Heaven at a place called See's.

Mom couldn't leave without getting a bagful.

Here I am at Zuma Beach in Malibu Catifornia. That's the Pacific Ocean behind me.

 And he's the obligatory Hero shot of Mr Karate and me.

We had a spectacular dinner at Duke's Malibu.


That's all for now. I am having a lot of fun and a lot of adventures.

What's Up Wednesday?

You know how I said I wanted it warm weather? Well, I got it.

Yesterday at ridiculous early Mom and I got up and went to the Boston airport.

Mom and I got on a plane.

It went up in the air.

For four hours all we flew over was white stuff. Very boring.

Then we flew over some snow covered mountains.

Finally we flew over and then into a really big city.

LOOK!!! We're in Los Angeles! It's sunny and warm here. It was 88 degrees (31 C) today. I like this much better than cold and rainy.

Tuxie Tuesday

I've been sleeping on the bed next to Mom lately. She likes it, and so do I. It's still cool out, and it is supposed to be cloudy, cool and rainy all week. That totally sucks. I want warm weather where I can smell the flowers.

Mom, I'm taking a nap. Please take the flashy box someplace else. Honestly, all this cleaning you have been doing has been quite exhausting. I'm quite worn out.

Planning Ahead

Mr Karate & Rubylocks have asked Mom to cook something when the Big Fam gets together for The Big Day. (Which by the way, will take place here.) The Big Fam will be together for several days, and Mom will make this for dessert one evening.

It is chocolate between two pieces of toasted angel food cake.  It is a crowd-pleaser and very easy to make. Mom and I posted about it several years ago, and you can see how it is made here.

This is how good Mom things it is.    (She loves it even though she is making a funny face.)

 It does indeed smell quite wonderful, but I cannot have chocolate. I asked Mom if we could change things up a bit and replace the chocolate with, say BEEF, or 'Nip...

Mom said NO WAY. Thus I am giving her the butt of shame.

Soggy Saturday

It's raining out, and it's chilly. I'm hiding out under the bed.  Hey, I don't like being predictable!

Freaky Friday

Mom has been shopping.

It sounds perfectly normal, I know. But this is different. This is weird. Let me show you.

Last night she came home with this pink purse. She didn't need a new purse, but she saw it and fell in love. She said it would "match."  Match what? She isn't pink.

The other night she came home with this stack of stuff. New undies, socks, and a bathrobe. (A couple of weeks ago she brought in a new nightgown.) That's not so strange, she wears stuff like this every day, but she didn't put these things away in her bureau. Hmmm...

When these shoes came home, I started to wonder. These shoes have holes in them. What good are they for? Mom usually wears sneakers. I am not sure if these shoes can even stay on her feets!

This, though, has me worried. Mom says it is a "bathing suit."  Look, I dunno about you, but when I take a bath I don't put stupid stuff ON, and I've seen Mom washing herself in the rainbox and she doesn't have anything on in there either, but what this is for, I have no idea. I've never, ever seen Mom in a "bathing suit" before. (All things considered though, I think the color choice is just fine.)

This doesn't make any sense at all. Inside this funny looking bottle is water. Well, it looks like water, but it isn't. This stuff stinks. Mom was all excited, gushing all over the place. "Oh Millie, doesn't this smell wonderful?"  Oh yeah, sure Mom, I can smell it across the room, you don't need to get any closer with that stuff...

Over the last few weeks she's been bringing other stuff home too. Shirts and pants mostly. Stuff she normally wears in warm weather.

I'm telling you, something freaky is going on...

Thursday Thought

OK Mom, the snow is gone, when is it gonna get warm out? When can we open the windows?

When can we plant my 'Nip?

Huh?

Happy Birthday Mr Karate!

Happy Birthday to You!

Happy Birthday to You! 

Happy Birthday dear Mr Karate!

Happy Birthday to You!

Earth Day!

Happy Earth Day!

Millie Monday

I know it looks like I haven't moved, but I have. Last night I slept on the big bed next to Mom all night long. And yesterday I watched the world go by from my cat hammock.

Mr Karate serenaded Rubylocks on their front porch.

Happy Easter

My tent has been restored, sans  my furs. My work is cut out for me to re-fur it.

Happy Easter Everybody!

Saturday "Issues"

Dear Mom,

Thank you for getting me a lovely placemat that makes me think I'm eating my foods in Paris.

However, it does not compensate for disassembling my tent.

I do not care if the inside of the tent was covered in my furs.  It's my job to do that. You had no right to stuff it in the washing monster without my permission.
