HELLO

WELL IT I WEDNESDAY (my Mama use to call it hump day when she worked). SHE SAID THE REASON WAS BECAUSE YOU HAD MADE IT TO THE TOP OF THE HILL AND THE REST OF THE WEEK YOU WERE JUST SLIDING DOWN TO FRIDAY. I DIDN'T TELL HER THAT WAS A KIND OF CRAZY THING.

WELL AT LEAST THE SUN IS SHINING TODAY AND IT IS HOT. EVERYONE IS GETTING READY FOR MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND. WE ARE JUST PLANNING A QUIET DAY. MAMA AND PA WILL BE EATING WITH THE NEIGHBORS. (maybe they will bring us something good to eat). AT LEAST WE WON'T HAVE A HOUSE FULL OF PEOPLE LIKE WE DO SOMETIMES. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, WE ALL HIDE UNDER THE BED.

MAMA GOT HER NEW GLASSES TODAY AND IS HAVING A HARD TIME WITH THEM. SO IF SHE SPELLS SOMETHING WRONG, JUST IGNORE IT. SHE SAID IT IS HARD GETTING USE TO BIFOCALS (whatever they are.)

WELL HERE'S WISHING EVERYONE A WONDERFUL MEMORIAL DAY!

LOVE YA,
BOOTSIE

FINALLY, THE SUN IS SHINING

YEAH! THE SUN IS TRYING TO SHINE TODAY. WE HAVE HAD ABOUT FOUR DAYS OF RAIN---WHICH WE NEEDED A LOT, ESPECIALLY THE FARMERS. BUT I SURE AM GLAD TO SEE THE SUN. MY FUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS AND I LIKE TO SIT ON THE PORCH AND WATCH THE DEER , BIRDS AND SQUIRRELS THAT COME IN OUR YARD. WE DONT LIKE TO DO IT WHEN IT IS SO WET OUTSIDE--WE PREFER TO SIT IN THE WINDOWS AND LOOK AT THEM.

HOPE ALL OF YOU HAVE A GOOD DAY AND ENJOY THIS NICE SPRING WEATHER.

LOVE YA,
BOOTSIE

DID YOU SEE THE PRETTY PICTURE MY MAMA POSTED ON MY PAGE YESTERDAY. IT IS COOL!

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF BOOTSIE

HI EVERYBODY. MY NAME IS BOOTS, BUT EVERYONE CALLS ME BOOTSIE. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THE SMALLEST OF MY MAMA'S BABIES. MY FUR MAMA IS CALLIE. I AM A TUXEDO CAT AND THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ME AND OREO IS THAT I HAVE A SMALL WHITE SPOT ON MY CHIN AND I AM JUST A LITTLE BIT SMALLER. OTHER THAN THAT, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO TELL US APART. I AM THE SHY ONE IN THE FAMILY. I STILL DON'T LIKE FOR ANYONE TO PICK ME UP, BUT I DO LOVE ATTENTION. WHEN I WANT MY MAMA'S ATTENTION, I LAY UPSIDE DOWN ON THE FLOOR AND LOOK AT HER. SHE LOOKS AT ME AND SAYS "I'M GOING TO GET YOU". WHEN SHE DOES THIS, I KNOW SHE IS GOING TO GET DOWN ON THE FLOOR AND TRY TO BRUSH ME. I ESPECIALLY LIKE TO RUB MY CHEEKS ON THE BRUSH. I HAVE VERY THICK HAIR.

WHEN OUR MAMA FOUND MY FUR MAMA AND MY SIBLINGS, I WAS THE SMALLEST AND WEAKEST OF THE BUNCH. MY FUR MAMA, CALLIE, HAD TO HELP ME COME OUT AND EAT AT FIRST. THEN I GOT STRONG LIKE MY SIBLINGS: PATCHES, LEO AND SMOKEY. OUR MAMA, DADDY AND JIMBO TOOK ALL FIVE OF US IN AT ONE TIME AND WELCOMED US TO OUR NEW FAMILY. THEY ALREADY HAD THREE KITTIES, SO WE MADE EIGHT. THEN LAST YEAR, SHE FOUND MICKEY AND HE MADE NINE. PLUS, WE HAVE OUR DOG, DOTTIE SO THAT MAKES TEN. WE HAVE A LARGE FAMILY, BUT WE ARE ALL LOVED VERY MUCH BY EVERYONE. WE LOVE THEM TOO.

LOVE YA,
BOOTSIE
