We never seem to publish on a Monday but since mom is in charge here….we publish on THIS Monday.  Of course this is an AWWWW… Monday  Meaning awww…isn’t that cute? 

Well, we do many a cute thing, just ask me bout it, but mom  isn’t around to see us, cause she’s hanging out on the knee walker looking for better positions to park. She seems to be having difficulty getting parked and  then having easy access back to the knee walker.  You see we all have problems.  Budd has difficulty making friends with Shoko.  I have difficulties with snow…..it’s just too darned cold and wet.  Then Shoko has her druthers with both of us.  She’d druther we weren’t in her face space. MOL

Can you believe it, this was pristine snow until I arrived!  All these paw tracks are mine.  You can’t see him but Budd is watching me through the sliding glass door.

Come join us for Awww Monday at Comedy Plus.  Click on the name and you will magically appear over at Awww…Monday.

This is the first post of the New Year and Shoko will make her Meezer philosophical statement to kick off 2020.                                                                                     

With the New Year popping up I can’t help but think of Kali, my sister.  She is always in my heart so that memory has gone from a mere memory to a treasure that signals the best in a family.

You are always with us Angel Kali.

Well, what a time I’ve had!  I knew I was going to the North Pole with Tyebe and Shoko the next day and then….bam! I was in the hospital.  I knew nothing.  These peeps kept asking me difficult questions like what day is it? Who are you?  A man in a white coat came in and told me I had 3 broken ribs, a broken arm, a dislocated shoulder, pneumonia and A Fib.  I didn’t believe him and furthermore I thought he was pushy!.  Who was this guy to tell me what’s happening.  I never saw him before or did I….and forget who he is?  Seems I had a seizure too and my memory was swiss cheese.  At least I wasn’t sore…..maybe a tad high on pain pills.  Bill was sitting in front of me saying I scared him.  Heck, it scared me too.  Two men standing in my bedroom with a stretcher between them.  Then large portions would be missing.  Somehow I was in the garage and then in Emergency!  I saw one of the paramedics as he peeled a “Breathe Right strip” off my nose.  He said, “That looks better.”   No argument from me.  The next thing I realized was I was wearing a most obnoxious gown that was very cool near the butt area.  My thoughts drifted to Shoko and Tyebe and I hoped I didn’t scare them but apparently they took off when I was thrashing about.

The happiest part was when I got home and read all the great wishes from my friends.  We thank you so much for your concern and caring.  You all made my days so much brighter.

  Shoko is rather annoyed with me for leaving her to fend for herself with Budd and Tyebe while I scooted off with two scary looking men.  She did say that dad gave her the odd treat more than Budd or Tyebe and she figures she deserved it and so much more.

Our Christmas was wonderful.  Just being able to laugh at Bill’s odd or should I say weird jokes and enjoy a wonderful turkey dinner cooked by my personal home chef was the best!  The gifts though very welcome were secondary to the happiness I found  being home again.

I have looked better but for now this is me.  I’m in one piece and mostly with it.

Budd was giving me cuddles whether I wanted them or not.

Tyebe was noncommittal on my progress.

Hello All

Dad here, some of you have heard that Jean (Mom)is in the hospital, and she still is.

It all started Saturday morning when Jean woke me up with her moaning, I thought it was kind of rude of her to wake me up that way until I went into her room to see her. She had her eyes open but was not responsive at all to me. At this point, I called 911 and got an ambulance underway, when I went to unlock the front door, I heard a thump from the bedroom, when I got to the bedroom, Jean had got out of bed to go to the washroom and fell. More on this later.

The ambulance came and took Jean off to the hospital. When I got to the hospital they said Jean had Pneumonia and they suspected that this was what caused her to be in a reduced level of consciousness, and the also found her pulse rate to high at over 100 beats a minute. Normal is about 80. so they have kept her in the hospital to get her heart rate down. When I saw her this morning her heart rate was for the most part under 100, that is a good sign.

Yesterday they did a CT Scan to see if she may have had a stroke, what they found was that she dislocated her left shoulder and broke her upper arm and some ribs (fortunately these ribs are high on her chest and don’t move much).  The Orthopedic surgeon who saw her said that if it heals well she should be fine, if not she will need a shoulder replacement. When the Surgeon asked who did the surgery on her ankle, Jean told him, his response was “I’m better looking!”

This what Ann Adamus of zoolatry@gmail.com sent Jean and we really appreciate her thoughts and talents.

Jean, myself, Shoko, Tyebe & Budd appreciate all the POTP messages and well wishes.

Bill Neilson
