Gettin' ready for cooler nights

I got a new small (read: one-cat) pet bed on sale the other day, and Ruse is having a tough time learning how to use it. Grace figured it out right away!

Here's Ruse yesterday morning, waiting for his mama to join him in a snooze! (She never came!!)

 Here he is after he finally figured out she wasn't going to join him!!

And here they all are in their respective snoozin' spots last night ... just as I had hoped. L-R: Grace in the new bed, Ruse as the buffer between her and Audace, and Audace taking up his 2/3rds of the blanket!!

Predictable (to a point)!

Very surprising!

This little scene blew me away last night. Usually Grace won't allow Audace to get anywhere close to her, but last night they were snoozing together! Amazing Grace!!

International Box Day, 2015

Grace doesn't like boxes or shopping bags, but her boys sure do..

Here's a video from when Audace and Ruse were about 5 or 6 months old ... what rowdy kittenz they were!

Grace & Company's 9th Gotcha Day!

Nine years ago today -- what a happy day that was! And these little jewels have not disappointed me -- such good pals and entertainers!

Grace and I on June 6, 2006.

 Audace and Ruse in June, 2006, learning how to jump up on beds and back down again!

Happy 10th birthday to our beautiful Grace!

Our beautiful Grace is 10 years old. I can hardly believe it's been nearly 9 years since she came to live with me. She is such a wonderful companion, and a nice contrast with her rowdy sons!

 This was taken when Grace was a new mommy and was about a year old.

This was taken a couple of years ago, and it's one of my favorite photos of our gorgeous girl. Clearly she is leading a comfy life!!

 Happy HAPPY Birthday to Grace!

Blogoversary!

As everyone probably knows by now, we took over the blog that ML and Deb began in 2006. If you look at the Archives (at the right, scroll down), it's easy to tell we've really taken it over! We don't post nearly as often anymore, but we still love our bloggie!

Here's Grace, relaxing in one of her favorite spots in the house! 

And here are Ruse and Audace, doing what they do best ... snoozing!!

Happy Blogoversary to us!!

Nine years old!

This is the first post I saw about Audace and Ruse (then named Pete and Foster!):

And after more posts (see below), there was no question that I wanted to give them AND their momma Grace their forever home!

Ruse's very odd snoozin' position one recent evening!

Audace ... begging to play!!

Happy 2015

We didn't want to post this too early, but here's to a happy 2015 for everyone! So far, so good for us!!

How's everyone else doing?
