Man Has it been that long?

Boomer on Activities - Mon, June 16 2008

I'm back...for as long as my dial-up connection will allow. Being at Grandma and Grandpa's is great for the most part! Grandpa and Dad are still in a battle for my affection and attention. It's like they are betting who is my favorite human. I snuggle and invite with belly rubs with both of them to keep them on their toes. Grandma even likes me, and she isn't that much of a cat person. She said she has only two problems with me. One: I jump on the counters. Dad hardly made dinner for himself, so me jumping on the counter was no big thing. But whenever I do it with Grandma fixing supper she manages to shoo me away. I guess I'll have to adapt. Two: I rub between her legs in the morning when she's the only one up. Let's face it, around seven in the morning, I need my affection. Grandpa is at work at 3, Uncle Mikey and Dad are still asleep. Grandma is the only choice and I be sure to draw her attention by rubbing in between the legs. She shoos me away again and says, "Boomer, leave my legs alone. I swear if you were human you would be a leg man." Besides that life is good here. Grandma even brought me home a yellow collar the other day. Even though Dad is against such things as clothing and colors I must say that I don't mind it too much. I mean, come on, yellow looks good against my black nape. Well, Uncle Mikey's bed is inviting. Just thought I would post to let you know I'm still alive in country luxury until the move to AL. All for now.

P.S. Trixie, I still dream of you. Sending warm hugs, a gentle paw, and even the occasional nose rub.

Good to hear from you, Boomer! We're glad to hear everything is going well. It sounds like you're not suffering from lack of attention! I bet you look stunning in your yellow collar.

Hey Boomer! It's good to hear from you! Your Grandma sounds like she just needs a little training...remember ETB's Grandma at the beginning? Tell your Dad Hello!!

Hey Boomer. I was just thinking about you and your dad today and wondering how you were. Glad to hear things are well in the country. I'm sure the yellow collar looks great on you. Wear it well, buddy!

Hey Boomz! Glad to hear you're enjoying hanging with the Grandparents. Next to Mom, that's my favorite place to be too. Be good, my friend, and enjoy the life o luxury

Hey Boomer, great to hear from you!

You gotta introduce your grandma to the concept of "smearing". I had to introduce my mama to the concept of "leg and feet licking" and now she lets me do it. Your grandma will come around. Afterall, who wouldn't like a furry object being rubbed across their legs. Tell her it's the newest massage technique, straight from New York City. Cat massages.

I was just thinking about you, man! Glad to hear you're adapting to country living! I'll bet that yellow collar is just smashing-- I've got a Nascar collar but my leash is yellow animal print- very fashionable.

Yep, she feel in line pretty quickly. Now, she's giving me burgers and swears I like her better. Just keep working on her, it won't take long.
