One month ago today I had to say goodbye to my beautiful Lola. It's still unfathomable to me that Lola The Rescued Cat is gone. Her larger-than-life personality and joie de vivre, rivaling any human's, should have given her 20 lives. Or at least more time than only 13 1/2 years on this earthly plane.  Having a bond as deep and close as the one I shared with her made the decision to let her go infinitely harder because I felt like a piece of me was leaving with her.  For a while I knew we were living on borrowed, limited time. I also knew that I would miss her deeply when the time ca ..read more

Hello, friends. I wasn't quite sure how to start this post since Lola always says, with her exuberant spirit, "Hello, and Happy Purrsday!" Unfortunately, it is with a very heavy heart that I have to tell you that Lola's exuberant spirit has left her body and she has earned her angel wings.  If you are a regular reader of our blog, you know that Lola was on a health roller coaster. I basically stopped blogging about it because it was so up and down.  To make a long story as short as possible, she recently contracted a URI that she just couldn't shake. She was also nause ..read more

Hello, and Happy Christmas Eve! I am so happy to be here to celebrate the holidays with my family and friends.  Today Lexy and I have a couple of festive selfies to share with you.  Merry, Merry Christmas to all of you! We are so grateful for your friendship.  Love,  Lola and Lexy (and Mom, too.)  We're joining our friends at The Cat On My Head for their selfie Sunday blog hop. Hop on over to see more selfies!  Want to make sure you don't miss one of our posts? Join our mailing list to stay up to date. Just ..read more

Lola: Hello, and Happy Sunday! It is a Happy Sunday indeed! I am over the moon to be here today to share the good news of the improvement in my health. Just three weeks ago I posted that I wasn't doing well, and I didn't think I had much time left with my family and my friends. But miracles do happen, and not only am I still here, I'm doing much better. Let me fill you in.  To catch up on all of the details, you can read my first post and then the second. I am one lucky kitty, let me tell you, because I had more purrs from humans and pets than I could even count.  Many thank ..read more

Lola: Hello, and happy Sunday! And it is indeed a happy Sunday because I'm here to share the day with all of you. I have some pretty good news to share with you this week.  I've had a better week. I started eating on my own, I have a little more energy, and my gait has improved a little. I'm going to let Mommy take over the report from here, with some photos of me taken during the week.  Dawn: I first want to say thank you for the support we've received through the comments here and on social media. The outpouring of love and concern has touched my heart and I apprec ..read more

Hello, friends. I usually start my posts with "Hello, and Happy (whatever day it is!), but today's post is a little serious. I'm afraid I have some not so good news to share with you about my health. Over the nine years we have been blogging we have read many posts about pets' health issues and have dreaded the day when we had to share some serious news as well. I'm afraid that day is today.  Lexy and I have shared the little blips we've had in our health over the past year or so, and most of them have subsided and healed. I'm going to update you on my current health status ..read more

 Lola: Hello, friends! It's been quite a while since we've posted here on the blog. Life has been a little hectic here in our neck of the woods.  Lexy: We can't tell you how much we've missed our blogosphere family. And we want you to know how important you all are to us.  Lola: Yes, that's right for sure. Okay, so onto the selfies and the update. Mommy will fill you in.  Thanks, girls. Well, as Lola said, life has been a little hectic. As you all know, we moved last year. The move was very stressful for both of the girls, but they settled in nicely. Shortly ..read more

Hello, and Happy Friday! Wow, Lexy and I can't believe we haven't had a blog post since February 20th! I don't think we've gone this long without posting since we started our blog. We've given some updates on our lives since moving, which you can read here, here, and here.  I'm going to let Mommy take over from here. Go ahead, Mommy.  Thank you, Lola, and hello to all of you! I wanted to give you a brief update to let you know how we're doing. Two and half weeks ago we celebrated one year in our new apartment. Time seems to have flown and crawled at the same time ..read more
