Caught Leonard hanging his Christmas stocking! 

 

The villain is finally behind bars! 

I hope they throw away the keys! 

I did hear something that the judge remarked something about keeping her behind bars for at least a year or more!

One cat down, three to go!  

LOL!

 

Please be advised because of Leonard's diligent hours of duty and heroic work, this feline has been captured.  The capture occurred  late on the evening of November 26th, thus making the fish community a safe place to swim again!    The paperwork will be processed later today and this culprit will be behind bars for a long time!  

Leonard shall be recognized  for his brilliant efforts in assisting the police in this matter!

RIP George! 

This morning was what might be considered the perfect storm at our house.
Mom was ready to leave for work and that naughty cat, Addi (she is really a naughty cat, the whole family says so) was playing with something on the floor.  I hear mom say "What are you playing with Addi?"  Then I hear mom scream..  Addi had been on the top of the fish tank as she often is and somehow had knocked a gold fish out and was playing with it on the floor.  Mom seeing it, immediately grabbed the fish and put him in the fish tank.  Mom thought the fish looked shredded, but found it was the fact that the fish was covered in dog hair that it had looked shredded.  The poor fish was at least in the fish tank again and could get water.  The poor thing.  The tank (which Cody had cleaned just yesterday) was floating full of dog hair.  (Sorry Cody)  At this present moment, the fish, named George,  is clinging to life, but seems to be breathing very slowly.  This is about 8 hours after the incident.  That cat is really a bad cat and I'm telling Santa about it!  I'm afraid we won't have George much longer!  I will keep you posted.

(Leonard's thoughts.....  ) My dear cat friend Franki, you have given me a wonderful idea for the holiday season.  Let me think, I have to figure out how to get all the cats to sleep in this kind of bag. Than, I shall close the bags and when Santa Paws comes, I will just exchange the gifts he carries in his sack for the sacks I have for him.  This is a great idea.  I'll be famous for it, the kind wonderful way to get rid of the cats.  I may win a Nobel Dog Peace Prize for this idea.  I can't hurt the cats, I would never do anything to hurt them.  But if I put the sacks in Santa Paws' sleigh when he stops here, then he will just drop off the sacks at other people's houses. The cats will have a home and it won't be with me.  Oh my, this is a wonderful idea.  The humans won't have any idea I did it, they will think that Santa just took the cats along.  Oh goodness, I can hardly wait for Christmas Eve!    I just hope no one gets wind of this and stops my great plan 

As I always say.. "let sleeping cats sleep! "

"and sleep for along time!"  

Oh Penny!  You are a dog!  You can't like cats!!!  What the heck is wrong with you?   I am so disappointed in you!  I thought we had a dog bond.  I'm really upset!    Don't think you are gonna snuggle up to me when you have cat fur and cat germs on yourself!  I don't like cat fur and cat germs!  Just keep your distance please, until mom gives you a bath. I'm gonna ask her to do that very soon! 
Thank you!!   
Sincerely, 
Leonard 
A DOG, not friend of cats! 

I am sure you humans don't get a copy of the Animal Express from this area, so I decided to share with you what was in yesterday's newspaper.     

Sincerely, 

Leonard

Sam a few days after moving to Sycamore Rd.

Samatha-Jo "Sam"  Born 8/13/04 died 9/26/16

Samatha-Jo was born to her mother, Rolo, on a farm on Pine Street in Bally on August 13, 2014.  She began her life as a farm cat before being adopted by Katie.  Her home was then on Sycamore Road where she enjoyed the great outdoors as well as the indoors.

Snowflake and Sam

Sam enjoyed chasing all kinds of small animals such as rabbits, birds, moles and especially mice.  Sam enjoys sleeping on the bed, with her human parents and just relaxing on the bed when she's bored.   She died at her home suddenly (we believe of a heart attack) on Monday. She had not been sick. 

As Sam grew she cuddled with Snowflake.

Because of Sam I know what the game of cat and mouse means.  

Sam is survived by her beloved human family, Luann, Rob, Katie and Cody.  Her beloved animal family of her cat sisters, Frankie,  and  Holli; her dog sisters Jaybo and Penny, her dog brother Leonard. Along with her feathers sisters Sandy and Cinnamon, and her feathered brother Atilla. Sam also leaves her nephew, Perkins and her niece Addie.  

 She was proceeded in death by her cat sister Antoinette "Tony" and her dog sisters, Abby and Snowflake. 

Sam will be greatly missed by her human family as well as the animal family.

REST IN PEACE SAMANTHA

It is with sadness I announce that passing of Samantha-Jo, better known to us all as "SAM".  Sam passed away the afternoon of  Monday, September 26, 2016  Sam was a cat, but not your normal cat's cat.  She was her own entity, even I, Leonard a dog, know she wasn't your normal run of the mill cat.  Sam was here years before I came. Mom and dad said they got her for Katie from a local farm.  Sam was brought home as an outside cat.  But dad would bring her in the house when mom was at work.  Then a friend convinced mom and dad that Sam needed a friend, that is when Frankie moved in.  They are actually real sisters.  They moved into the outdoor building but dad kept bringing the kittens inside saying they were cold. Before my parents realized it, they were indoor outdoor cats.  At one point, Frankie who has a lot of allergies, stayed inside, but Sam had her daily ritual of going outside and doing a once around the property.    She would on occasion bring a mouse, or parts of it to the porch.  In her younger years she caught rabbits (which really upset mom!)  Mom rescued more then one chipmunk, mole, bird and even a mouse or two out of Sam's clutches.  Sam was her own entity.   She really ran the animals in the house,  I mean the whole house, us dogs respected her (Most the time)  I guess that means she was Top Cat.  She would at least let Penny and me sleep on the bed with mom and dad.  She wouldn't allow any of the other cats to do that.  I know Dad loves all his animals but we all know Samantha was his special girl.  I hate to admit this, but I shall miss her too.  It was funny, she's stand at the door and meow, but it really sounded like she was saying "meOUT".  I could never figure out how she learned to say that!  

 

 I have to say, rest in peace Samantha. You were a beautiful cat of 12 years of age.  

We shall all miss you.   

I look forward to seeing you again when I cross that rainbow bridge to heaven!   

Love, 

Leonard 

"Mom, what do you mean when you say Kitty Cat Kisses"?   

I'm gonna stare at this kitty cat until she goes away.  

Go away Cat! 
    Go away Cat! 
        Go away Cat!  


Darn, this is not working! 

So, this is what was behind the gate!  I knew it was a cat!  

This isn't fair, I don't want another cat!

I need to keep my eye on this one..  She looks like big trouble to me!  Don't you agree??




More later, I'm sure..   I vote she goes!  

  It's been awhile since I got to post something on my blog.  Our Katie graduated from college.  We are all so proud of her.  We had a great summer, Cody was here all the time (Since he was working an internship in the area) Katie got a job at Ursinus College, so she was here.  Life was great!   Mom, Dad, Katie, and Cody did go on vacation boarding us dogs at the vet.. (Not sure where the cats were, I didn't ask them. I avoid them as much as possible and never talk to them unless it's a real emergency and I don't count that as a real emergency )

Last week college started again. Dad went back, Cody went back to State College and Katie is working at a new college.  Mom is still doing her job so it's back to school normal for us.  Well, it was,  until last week one evening.  Mom and Katie went away and came home with that cat carrier and they brought in a baby cat!  I can't believe it!  No one asked me my thoughts.  They are storing this new cat in Katie's bathroom.  They have the gate there so that we can check her out. I hope they give us a paper to vote yes or no!  You know how I'll vote.  But I haven't heard anything about an election about keeping this baby cat.    For now in the bathroom she stays, which is fine with me!  They put a cardboard above the door because this "Thing" will climb the gate to get out.  Cats, they are crazed animals, climbing on everything.  No one seems to teach them any manners!   I'll post a picture as soon as I get a good look at that new cat thing!  

For the record, I do not consider these cats friends.  We have one goal in mind, getting some sleep in the sun!   This window is great for letting the sun warm your fur!  I love warm fur!   Go away cats!  Please!   It never works.. 

I am keeping my eye on this cat!  She could roll off the sofa on to me and that would hurt!

"MOM!   I am not putting up with this little cat, I was here first, you move this cat right now! Please!"

NO, Franki, I don't care how much you like me.  We are NOT friends, we were never friends, we will never be friends. You cats are so stupid, can't you understand dog English?   We are not FRIENDS!  You have three other cats in the house, be friends with them.  Keep away from us dogs, we don't want to be friends with you!  GET IT???   

 

My plans for the blizzard!

Good Night!  

Mom said that Katie and Cody will be going back to college this weekend so I figured I better snuggle with them while I can!  I was even willing to compromise and share Cody with Perkins (Since Perkins is gonna move in with Katie and Cody someday and I'll be rid of him) 
It's always great when Cody gives me some love!

Then there is Katie. She is my sweetheart.  I love to snuggle with her when she is sleeping.  I have to spend some quality time with her while she is still home.  Heck, mom says she's not coming home over spring  break, she's going to Ireland to do work.  She could work here and then rest with me in the evenings, but I guess she wants to go to Ireland. 

Well, you enjoy your weekend as I enjoy a few more days with my favorite college kids!  

So mom, I heard you talking about the Christmas Tree, how part of it has no more lights, bulbs or tinsel.  Well, I set up the camera and as I figured, those cats are the problem. 





 Here is what my hidden camera found!






I found Perkins looking at what he can destroy next!   






 Look mom!!!!  He is so guilty!

Mom, don't trust Holli either, she just knows how to escape the camera and look innocent.  She's not!  She had her grimy paws on the Christmas tree too!  I saw her!!!




I REST MY CASE, IT IS THE CAT'S FAULT, US DOGS HAD NOTHING, NOT A THING I TELL YOU,  TO DO WITH THE MISSING ORNAMENTS AND TINSEL ON THE CHRISTMAS TREE!
