I think I just lost a couple years of my life...

Yesterday I was watching a movie on Netflix and had the brief thought that I hadn't seen Tangie in a while. Figuring she was under the bed or downstairs I finished my movie and went to the stairs and my stomach dropped. The door was open. And the worst case scenarios were running through my head. Luckily, after 30+ minutes of searching, one of the yard guys chased her back under the fence and I got my baby back.

I do have to say that once she was back under the fence and saw us she had this look that was like, 'Oh hey guys, what are you doing?' So cute and innocent looking...Anywho, now she attempts to get out every single time I open the door so I think that the squirt bottle is going to have to make a reappearance.

Next post I have some cards to show you!

And the cold continues...

I know that some of you are experiencing even colder conditions than here in Texas, but I live in Texas for a reason:we don't have freezing cold winters with tons of ice and snow. Yeah....

Dear Texas Weather,

I despise you.

Thank You,

Me

PS-If you mess up my flight on Friday morning, we will have even bigger issues.

Now that you know my feeling on cold weather, do you want to know where my warm winter coat is? Do you? I'll give you three guesses and a hint. I told you in my last post! I spent 20 minutes scrapping ice off my car today to get  into my trunk. Do I own an ice scrapper? Well, yes I do. Do you want to know where is is? Same place as my coat. So I used a metal spatula lent to me by the home owner. It was rather interesting if I do say so myself.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I got catnip for my little fur baby on Monday and I filled a little pouch with it and gave it to her. So much entertainment on a rather boring day yesterday and there are photos to prove it. What else was I going to do?

Just one small problem faced when there is only one space to sit next to a window.

Just snagging a few moments to let you know that posts this week will be sparse. But I'm not abandoning you all. And I have a giveaway in my previous post you should enter!

My baby

Tangie 

or Tangelo when she's in trouble

Tangie is a rescue from the humane society and is the purr-fect match for me. Sorry, I had to do it even if it is really cheesy. I adopted her in October and hove only been away from her overnight about 12 times and let me tell you, I missed her like crazy.

You can see the family dog in the upper left corner...

Tangie hates her but has since figured out that Rita (dog) is terrified of her and torments her every time Rita is inside.

Within the first week of having her I new that I could never have picked a better cat. Sadly (luckily for me), before I got her she had been abandoned/returned to a shelter 3 times. She was found on the streets a few counties away from mine with a littler of kittens and from what the vet at the time could tell she was not even a year old! After being in a foster home with her kittens for a while Tangie was put in the shelter for adoption and she was snatched up quickly. However not long after she was found wondering the streets where I live and when the information on her chip was read they were unable to get in contact with the previous owners. So she was put up for adoption at my local shelter where once again she was adopted quickly and then just as quickly returned, no reason given. Upon her return to the shelter she ended up with a respiratory infection and had to be put into isolation. Mind you this all occurred in under 6 months, the poor baby. 





I was getting ready to head back to school the next day when I was able to get to the shelter. The first few cats they suggested for what I (my mom) said that I wanted weren't exactly what I wanted and I went to talk to one of the staff members who suggested a cat who had been cleared for adoption literally the day before I came in. After he brought Tangelo into the visiting room (or whatever they want to call it) she walked right up to me, gave me a nose kiss and curled up in my lap purring. When I left to go get my mom Tangie stood on her back legs on the bench and looked out the window just watching me. When I got back to the room she immediately curled up in my lap purring again and that sealed the deal and she got to go home with me (after the paper work and all that fun stuff). Now she enjoys hanging out on our screened in porch, cuddling whenever she can, sitting where she shouldn't, eating both her and Rita's food if she can when Rita is inside, attacking the cat nip mice and getting underfoot quite often.
