Hey moon_beam, Yet again thanks for taking the time!...Watching those boys is way better than tv! We also have heaps of different birds who visit - the boys and I both enjoy watching them...Poor Purszi, it was his first real day wihtout me, but bandit went to get clipped today, so he didn't have bandit either, apparently my brother played with him until Purszi stalked his feet with serious intent...more induction tomorrow (Sunday, how rude!), I guess Mr Pursz and i have to get used to it, sigh...I know my sunny day pictures of Purszi will get me through, I hope he understands, I have talked to him about the necessity for work...anyway my friend, sending that auntie leejaye cuddle for Noah as always (I got Pursz at a good moment and he liked the one you sent!!), hope you guys stay home in blissful peace this weekend! Leejaye PS The brief bits I saw of outside today were actually hot, you can sure have some of that sunshine!

Hi, leejaye, it is always a blessing sharing your news of you and your precious Purszival. I know how difficult this adjustment is going to be for you and your little boy. Three years after my last surgery on my right leg I had to return to work so that I would be assured of Medicare and Social Security when I become eligible. I can only work part time, but even that was very hard for me to adjust to after enjoying being a "stay at home mom" with my furkids. You and your precious little boy WILL BE okay, my friend. Don't put any pressure on yourself to "do" something unless you're feeling up to it. You are entering a "new dimension of the 'Twilight Zone'" - - so give you and your precious Purszival LOTS of time to adjust to this new chapter in your lives together. I know you treasure this very special time you have with your precious Purszival. With this new chapter in your lives together, the time you share together will be treasured even more so.
I hope the induction training is going well, and that you are finding this "preview" to your new job exciting. When you and Purszival have a moment, please give him a hug from his "auntie moon_beam" as I will be giving my Noah a hug from his "auntie leejaye." Please know you and your precious little boy are in my thoughts and prayers, and always look forward to sharing your news. Peace and blessings, moon_beam -------------------- In heaven's perfect garden there is no grief or pain, and all of God's creation join the angels' sweet refrain.

Dear moon_beam, Just a quick note to say thankyou for your kind and wise words, again!! I have tomorrow off before I officially start, my first day is one more day of, you guessed it, induction!! Bandit was with Purszi today, so i didn't worry about him quite as much (although perhaps I should have - those two have a tendency to hatch plots between them - like how to steal my piece of toast off the table, or let the other one out of the room they were secured in... all instances where two animals are guaranteed success, but one might fail in a solo mission) - I will post a proper Purszi update in the next couple of days, until then, my friend, hugs for Noah from his Australian auntie - hugs for you too! Hope the days fly so you can be home with your boy, Leejaye

Hi, leejaye, thank you so much for sharing with us how you and your precious Purszival are doing. Ah yes - - the "plot" - - it is evidence that "two minds are better than one" as the saying goes. BUT it depends on what those "two minds" are up to - - for sure!!! I can just see your precious Purszival and his "partner in crime" Bandit plotting their next escapade together. Now, since our fur kids and fur friends can plan out - - and execute - - their action plans so successfully, it sort of makes us wonder - - or at least makes me wonder -- why I can't be as efficieint!!!
I hope today is being kind to you and your precious Purszival, my friend. Hugs to your little boy and you from "auntie moon_beam" as I give my precious Noah his "auntie leejaye" hugs. Please know you both are in my thoughts and prayers, and always look forward to sharing your news. Peace and blessings, moon_beam -------------------- In heaven's perfect garden there is no grief or pain, and all of God's creation join the angels' sweet refrain.

Hi moon_beam! Official day 4 of the job tomorrow! It's more good than bad, I'm pleased to say - but the very best thing is coming home to purry Purszival! He's not a cuddly boy (Aww mum, put me down!), but he purrs and purrs and asks for all his favourite pats when I get home - it's the loveliest greeting! My start time is late enough to take him out in the garden on his harness for an hour or so before I leave - we are back where we usually live, he hasn't had Bandit, so I'm trying to make sure he at least gets some outdoor game time (he loves it so much). Hopefully I can work out visits to his dog friend at least once a week! Hope all is well with you and Noah, give him some more cuddles from Auntie Leejaye, and huge hugs to you my friend, Leejaye PS I really think I could learn things if only I could clearly hear the fabulous plots and plans of Purszi and Bandit when they are together!

Hi, leejaye, thank you so much for sharing with us how you and your precious Purszival are doing. I have been thinking about you and wondering how your job is going so far. So glad to share with you that so far it is going well. Yes, I know all about those squirmmy greetings - - secretly deep down inside they LOVE the mommy mushy stuff. I'm so glad you and your precious little boy still have some garden time together in the morning. That is so very special. Sounds like Purszival is enduring this new routine. As long he has YOU, my friend he can adjust to just about anything. And I do so know what you mean about getting a good education if you could hear the conversations between your precious Purszival and his buddy Bandit. If only we could talk to our furkids in a common language.
Life here is going okay. My Noah is letting me know that it's time for his dinner - - his tummy is an alarm clock for sure. I hope you and your precious little boy will have a very peaceful and blissful evening, my friend. Hugs to you and your precious Purszival from "auntie moon_beam" at the same time I am giving my precious Noah is "auntie leejaye" hug. Please know you and your precious Purszival are in my thoughts and prayers, and always look forward to sharing your news.

Hi, leejaye, just stopping by to say hello to you and your precious Purszival. I hope you have survived the first week into your new job - - and new routine. I hope you and your little boy are having a peaceful weekend together. It's amazing how quickly Monday mornings roll around again to start the "work routine".
Noah is doing well. He's getting a bit perturbed with our "rainy" season at the moment. Although the sun has played "peek-a-boo" through the clouds once in awhile it has been very short-lived. The sunshine may return on a more constant basis come Wednesday or Thursday. With the rain we have been having I will definitely need to fire up the lawnmower again - hopefully for the last time of the "mowing" season. Then I will have the annual raking of the leaves to begin. Hope you and your precious Purszival are having a very peaceful and pleasant day. Please know you and your precious little boy are in my thoughts and prayers, and always look forward to sharing your news whenever possible. Peace and blessings, moon_beam -------------------- In heaven's perfect garden there is no grief or pain, and all of God's creation join the angels' sweet refrain.

Hey moon_beam & Noah, Thanks so much for stopping by to see how we are doing! My roster at the moment gives me sunday and monday off - this sunday i was also meant to do a market stall with a friend who has MS (she bakes, I make jams, etc) - the first sunday in ages that was cold and windy and rainy! we didn't go - too cold for her (and me), and i was so tired (I got up at 5am for the markets before we decided we wouldn't go, and this full time work thing is bigger than I remembered!), poor Mr Pursz wanted to go out but settled for sleeping with me for about 4 hrs in the afternoon! Today the sun was out and we made the most of it on his harness, trotting around the garden, stealing tails fom the tiny little skink lizards, and swatting white cabbage moths...We'll have more time tomorrow morning, I'll try to get some pics...Hope the sun came out for Noah and you so you could get the lawn done and enjoy some out door time before the week starts again, auntie leejaye pats for noah please, hugs for you, i hope your week goes swiftly and smoothly my friend, Leejaye

Hi, leejaye, thank you so much for sharing with us how you and your precious Purszival are doing. So sorry that your and your friend's market day didn't work out, but it is best not to venture forth when the weather is truly unfriendly. Perhaps next month? Or whenever you can get another booth.
So glad you and your precious little boy are enjoying some garden time today. The clouds continue here with the ongoing threat of rain. But whatever the weather my little Noah somehow seems to find enjoyment hanging out with his mom - - for which I am very blessed. Hope your day back in the office tomorrow will be a good one. Yeah - - it's definitely a BIG CHANGE to the 9 to 5 routine. Thank you for the gift of your friendship, Leejaye, and of your precious Purszival. Hugs to you and your precious little boy from auntie moon_beam, as I give my little Noah his auntie leejaye hugs. Please know you and your precious Purszival are in my thoughts and prayers, and always look forward to sharing your news.

Hi moon_beam, Thanks for stopping in! Yep, we'll just try again next month with the markets, at least jams keep! I think Purszi learnt how to bring a ball back to me this evening - he loves to play with scrunched up balls of paper, I just throw them and get the most amazing contortions in an amazingly small space (almost on the spot actually) from him in his efforts to chase and catch it, so far he hasn't got "bring it back" (I've been getting it and bringing it back to him while saying that) - tonight he did it about 10 times before he smelt my dinner coming out of the kitchen, impossible to concentrate on anything else then!! Well, work again tomorrow, hope your day goes speedily so you can get home to your boy (don't forget his auntie leejaye hug!), Leejaye
PS Of course Noah enjoys hanging out with his mum, and you're right - it is a true blessing. Thankyou so much for your friendship. |

Hi, leejaye, it is a real treat logging in to catch up on how you and your precious Purszival are doing. I'm smiling at your and Purszival's play time together. This is very special time for you both. Perhaps someday your smart little boy will surprise you with a "bring back"!!
We have finally seen some SUN here again, and it's a nice change from the weeks of cloudy, rainy, foggy brain numbing weather. Today we were in the low 80's. By the time the weekend arrives we will be in temperatures 20 degrees cooler - - but continuing sunshine. So that will be nice. I hope you and your precious little boy are having a very peaceful and blissful evening. Auntie moon-beam hugs to you and your precious Purszival, as I give Noah auntie leejaye hugs. Please know you both are in my thoughts and prayers, and always look forward to sharing your news whenever possible.

Dear moon_beam and Noah, One more day to go in my working week! My Mr Purszival is full of beans tonight, great chasing games, and he still likes to play his version of hide and seek (we both duck behind something, pop up to look, he progressively creeps close enough to leap on me - "Found you!!"), so that's our night tonight! He's chewing on a cardboard box right now - he has some decidedly dog like traits!!! I hope I can get some more pics of him on my weekend, he's growing so quickly and he's so handsome (I think)...I hope your Friday goes quickly, and that the sun stays out for you both, huge hugs for you my friend, and of course auntie leejaye snuggles for Noah (I gave Pursz his Auntie moon_beam hugs at the right moment again and he purred hugely!!), Leejaye PS "Bring it back" is progressing, the thing I love about cats is that it is entirely at their discretion to actually "Bring it back", it's not a taught trick, I really think they choose...

Hi, leejaye, always a blessing checking in to see how things are going for you and your precious Purszival. Aren't games with our furkids so fun???!!!! Sometimes my Noah and I will play "attack" with each other. He will get into a crouching position, and I'll bend over as far as I safely can with my hands arms bent and will do a little two step toward him, and he'll wag his little bottom a bit with his tail swishing back and forth, and then at that right moment we'll both touch each other - - and he'll go scamperng away a distance and then whirl around to see if I'm looking. I agree with you - - "the thing I love about cats is that it is entirely at their discretion".
I hope you and your precious Purszival will have a very peaceful evening and a wonderful weekend. If you do get pictures of your little boy, I would love to see one / them - - if you'd like to post them. My very best regards to you both with hugs to you and your precious little boy, as I give my Noah his auntie leejaye hugs - - which brings a big grin to his face. Please know you both are in my thoughts and prayers, my friend, and always look forward to sharing your news.

Hi moon_beam and Noah, Purszi does the wiggle bottom and tail move when he gets ready to stalk - you're right, fur kid games are great! We didn't get to visit Bandit on our weekend - the weather was horrible yesterday (rainy, windy and cold), we slept late and went outside for about 10 minutes to see exactly how horrible it was, trying to convince Purszi he should stay in, I think he was mostly convinced...today was much better and we spent most of the day outside with me following him around on his harness (who's leading who??!) - highlight of the day? He met a blue tongued lizard (these lizards are great for keeping the snails under control and really inoffensive beings!) - I kept his curiousity at bay by shortening his lead!! Hope you and Noah had a lovely weekend break together, give him his special pat please, Purszi sends some big purrs in thanks for snuggles from his faraway Auntie, hugs for you my friend, hope the world is nice to you, leejaye

Hi Leejaye....Oh my, when I saw the bottom pic, I thought it was a huge lizard. Do those lizards bite, I mean other than snails?.......I"m sorry you and Purszi didn't get to visit Bandit. I know Bandit misses you both. I wonder what Bandit would do with one of those lizards.
![]() Leejaye, thanks for sharing the pics of Purszi and the lizard......I'm always thinking of your Angel Mischief. I hope you are doing better in your grief journey..... Loads of Hugs, LoveMyMickey -------------------- "Love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation." |

Hi LoveMyMickey, That's really sad about the cat your Mom had...The blue tongue lizards only bite if you mess with them - usually they run away if they see people, this guy was out enjoying the sunshine and chasing a lady blue tongue (it IS spring!) when Purszi found him, I think Bandit would go nuts if he saw one - bounce and bark all over the place at it!! We miss bandit but should get to visit soon...hope today has smiles in it for you my friend, sending huge hugs, Leejaye PS thinking of our Angel Kids all the time

Hi, leejaye, as always it is a blessing to log in to share your news of how you and your precious Purszival are doing. Thanking you along with LoveMyMickey for the wonderful pictures of your precious little boy. I'm so o o chuckling about your "mighty hunter" versus the lizards. We have wee little lizards here, and each of my kitty furkids LOVED playing with them, and yes, eventually feasting on them. Since Noah does not venture outside anymore he has to wait for them to find their way inside through the tiny crevices - - which sometimes they do - - and then the hunt is on. I hear they taste like chicken, but I wouldn't want to have to know that first hand.
Our weather has turned quite brisk here at night in the 40's, but we have been enjoying wonderful sunny days with temps in the 70's. I love this type of weather and wish we could have it year round. It has been too cool, though, to have the big door open and gated off, but Noah still enjoys stretching out in the sunbeams that come in through the windows. I hope your week at work is going well for you. Noah and I send our hugs and purrs to you and your precious Purszival, and Noah and I sincerely thank you for your and Purszival's greetings as well. Please know you and your precious little boy are in my thoughts and prayers, and always look forward to sharing your news. Peace and blessings, moon_beam -------------------- In heaven's perfect garden there is no grief or pain, and all of God's creation join the angels' sweet refrain.

Hi moon_beam and Noah, Purszi loves chasing those tiny lizards too! I've noticed quite a number since he arrived who have lost their tails! I freaked out the other day when we were outside - he turned around with what i thought was a tiny lizard corpse hanging from his mouth, I got him to spit it out and the little lizard took off in to the garden (I hope the lizard realised the narrow escape he had) I praised Purszi for his hunting skills and told him we'd save that lizard for next time (although i really hope he doesn't catch it again - but Purszi is a cat, doing what comes naturally...) Hmm, taste like chicken? I agree, let's not find out for ourselves!! I'm so glad you guys are enjoying some nice weather with some sun for Noah to stretch out in, I don't think I've seen other animals enjoy a patch of sunshine quite like a cat...Halfway through the working week today so it's all downhill to slide to our weekend and two days of freedom with my boy - I hope the rest of your week flies so you can get home to your boy, please give him some auntie leejaye snuggles, Mr Purszival is sleeping at the moment, so he sends some tiny little cat snores to you both and I'm sending my biggest hugs for the true kindness of your friendship, Leejaye

My dear friends, leejaye and Purszival, Noah and I send you our Thursday greetings hoping they find you both doing well and in good spirits. I'm so chuckling about your "great hunter" Purszival. I'm wondering what his reaction was when you rescued the lizard from him. My furkids were not always appreciative of mommy's "right to life" stance for all creatures - - especially when they had gone to all the work to catch their prize!!!
We have been having some really beautiful autumn weather this week -- highs in the mid 70's with lots of sunshine. Just PERFECT weather - - wish it could stay this way all year long. When I got home today I changed into my yard work clothes and mowed the back yard. I think the last time I mowed the back yard was July???? My focus has had to be on keeping the front yard groomed during the heat of the summer so that no one driving by would think that the house was abandoned. Then we got days and days and days of rain and chilly weather. So, this is really the first time in weeks that I've actually had the chance to tackle the back yard. I'm hoping it is the LAST mowing of the season. There are a LOT of acorns on the ground already, which makes me very leery of what may be coming in terms of winter weather. Ohh - - I am so NOT a winter person anymore. Thank your precious Purszival for us for his wonderful purr / snore greetings, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the blessing of your cherished friendship. Noah and I send our purrs and hugs to you and your precious Purszival, as I give my precious Noah hugs from his auntie leejaye - - and I'll do my best to imitate Purzival's greetings as well - - but I know my "purr" sounds are a very poor imitation. Please know you and your precious Purszival are in my thoughts and prayers, my friend, and always look forward to sharing your news. I am SO GLAD tomorrow is F R I D A Y!!!! Peace and blessings, moon_beam -------------------- In heaven's perfect garden there is no grief or pain, and all of God's creation join the angels' sweet refrain.

Hi, leejaye and Purszival, Noah and I are stopping by to say hello and to check in to see how life is treating you. It is Sunday evening here, which means tomorrow is back to the slave pit for me. Oh these weekends go by too too too quickly.
It has been a very pretty autumn weekend. The squirrels have been entertaining Noah as they feast on the bountiful acorns that are already blanketing the ground. I hope this is not a preview to the coming winter - - I am so NOT a winter person anymore. Noah is doing well. We have been watching Sean Connery Bond movies today. At the moment Thunderball is on which is the first Bond movie I saw when it hit the theaters. I hope you and your precious Purszival are doing well. Perhaps you have been able to visit with your mum and Bandit this weekend. It's getting close to Noah's dinner hour, and he is letting me know about it, too. His tummy is a meal alarm clock for sure. Both Noah and I are sending you and your precious Purszival purrs and hugs, as I give my Noah hugs and purrs from his auntie leejaye and friend Purszival. Please know you both are in my thoughts and prayers, and always look forward to sharing your news.
