We STILL Remember ~ Sean Patrick Tallon

Note: This wuz originally posted 9/11/2006....we wanted to repost it. We'll never forget!



When aircraft crashed into the World Trade Center's twin towers, it was New York City's Bravest that did what they did best - head directly in to danger, in order to save lives. Firefighters, paramedics, and EMTs - side by side - as was the case so many times before.

Together with members of that city's Finest, they made their way to the heart of the tragedy. Grabbing their gear, the firefighters began rushing into the gigantic structures to assist with their safe evacuation, while the paramedics and EMTs began tending to the injured below.

It was while doing those jobs - in the kind of rescue that they had performed so well, so many times - that their lives were taken from us. (Taken from here)

Sean Patrick "Charger" Tallon was one of those such men. At 26, he had only a month or so left of being a "probie" (a probationary firefighter). Sean was one of the first responders, along with the other members of Ten House. Their station was right across the street from the World Trade Center. On the way up the stairs of Tower One, Sean helped a fellow firefighter that was having a heart attack, then he continued up with two more of his fellow firemen. They were trapped when Tower One collapsed.

Sean led an active and varied life. He was a Marine Corps Reservist. He also loved Irish music and playing the button accordion. He would practice for an hour or more on many evenings. The steady, easy flow of sweet hornpipes, tasty reels, and lively jigs would fill the house.

This is part of a song that was written for Sean, and was played at his funeral:

"Up the stairs boys, running to the top

Without a thought to slow or stop

Upstairs boys on 9/11 and they kept on going

to the gates of Heaven.

With the men of Ten House was Sean Tallon...

Although he wasn't the first, he wasn't the last...

With love of God and Country he never thought he could

see such acts of hate...

As we remember our Charger and the others

and shed a mournful tear for all his fallen brothers,

Although we didn't know them all,

we knew them well enough to know what they were made of...

And that was hero stuff.

written by Dereen and Marian Griffin

Sean left behind his parents, grandparents, sister and brother-in-law, and extended family in the United States, England, and Ireland, along with many friends. He is greatly missed by all.

May you rest in peace Sean Patrick Tallon. I would like to offer up this blessing:

Traditional Irish Blessing

May the road rise to meet you,

May the wind always be at your back,

The sun shine warm upon your face,

The rain fall soft upon your fields,

And until we meet again,

May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.

Thank you for all that you and your brothers do and have sacrificed for all of us! You and yours will be in my prayers. ~Rebecca Buchenot Sain

Finally a post!!

Hi y'all!!! No, we didn't fall off the face of the earth.....it just seemed like it! Momma has been crazy busy wif werk. They hadded floor set and inbentory all in one week! She werked 11 days straight after she gotted back home frum Beantown!! Daddy is doing well wif flying. We don't see much of him....he leafs in the morning and then comes home 12 hours later. He DID get to fly solo a couple of weeks ago. Here is a link to all of the pict-shurs (and Momma's trip too!) We'll let them post 2 heer for now....(OK...free so we can haf Auntie Alicia at her skool).

Since that's the update on the beans, now onto US!! We've been napping lots, watchin' the birdies and squirrleys, and keeping an eye on fings around heer. We's been keeping up wif owr friends, efen if we haven't been commenting. Hope efurry is safe wif all of the hurry-canes goin' on.

Now fur sum pict-shurs of us!!!

Meeko missin' Daddy.

Kiara talkin' to Momma.

Solo?!?!

Well, owr Daddy *might* be flying his metal birdie all by himself sometime this week. We say might a'cause the weather hasn't been furry co-operative with flying. Momma is sad that it hasn't happened yet, a'cause she leaves tomorrow to go to Boston to bisit Auntie Alicia. Her wedding shower is this weekend, and since Momma is her Matron-of-Honor, she (momma) really wanted to be there for it. AND Momma's friend Leslie (who wuz momma's maid-of-honor) is getting married this weekend. This wuz just announced, so that's why Momma isn't going to that. Things will be pretty quiet around heer.

Hope y'all are hafing a good week!!

Violette Noelle

Most of y'all haf already heard the mostest terrible news. We have no werds. We just pray that God will comfort the entire fambly during this time. Owr hearts go owt to them. Go wif God little Angel.

~Meeko, Kiara, & Fambly

Bisitors!!!

We's got bisitors again!!! This time it's Grammie and Grampie!! WhooHoo!!!! Momma am all the way a'cited to see them. They are gonna be heer in a couple of hours and stay 'till Tuesday. We's been sleepin' on their bed, so that they won't miss having kitty fur on the bed. They gots 2 kiities too, but they are NOT coming.

Hope efurryone has a great weekend!!

Breaking news & Pic-shurs - Part 1

This just in....Momma gotted a jobbie at Bath & Body Werks!! She's still waiting to heer frum the skool district tho. Whoohoo!! (The only hospital in town isn't hiring fur her position. It's a pretty smallish hospital, and there aren't any surgery centers around.)





This am the birdie that Momma caughted tonight. We're not sure what it is, but it eats nectar frum the hummie bird feeder. Momma wuz sitting in the lifing room when she heard sumfing crash into the front screen door! She wented to 'vestigate, and founded the birdie hanging on to the screen window beside the door. It looked kinda stunned. Momma gotted it off the window, and it perched on her finger. She wented to go get it water frum the birdie bath, 'cause she couldn't get to the nectar that wuz hanging and WUZN'T about to bring it into the howse wif us. After a little water, it chirpped and flew into the tree. Momma is gonna keep a eye owt for it.

This is a different birdie (maybe the male version of the ofur one?) that has been eating wif the hummies. Not sure what it is eifur. Momma finks it's in the oreo family. But none of her birdie books say anyfing about oreo's eating nectar...so we're pretty stumped.

Kiara chillin' in her ham-mick. Sorta doin' the Q (with a twist).

Us sharing a bed. We NEFUR do this. EFUR. Momma wuz shocked.

Momma here: They are always hissing and growling at each other. The ONLY other time they did this was when we were moving and in unfamiliar territory. Kiara was on the bed first. While I was petting her, Meeko decided that she wanted up too. They stayed this way for a couple of hours, even changing positions. I knew no one would believe me if I told them, so I had to get pics.

pee ess- See post below fur more pic-hurs!!!

Pic-shurs -Part 2

This am one of the 6, yes 6, hummie birds that we have. of course, any time Momma tries to get a pic-shur of all of them...they fly off.

Kiara heer: This am the lizard that I catched in the hall. He had already lost him's tail a'fore I gots ahold of him. Momma tooked him away, tooked his pic-shur, and then SHE LET HIM GO!!! I fought fur sure that I was gonna have a tasty snack! But , NOOOOOO...mean momma!

These are the froggies that live under owr patio. We counted 6 of them! I (Kiara) like to stick my hed down in their hole to say hello! Momma sez that that isn't polite. They might think that you are trying to eat them. Besides she sez, you never know what kind of bad things could be in that hole....like snakes or big, scary spiders!

These are the silly squirrlys trying to eat the bird seed. Nevermind that they've got their own peanuts to eat. One of them was efun eating the hummie birds food!! Momma hadded to move it to the front yard. Momma fought that it wuz funny seeing one squirrl upside down wif anofur one watchin' him! Beans are easily amused sumtimes!

Lookie!!!

This am Momma's ferst attempt to upload a video....be patient. This am Momma & Daddy's niece Hannah. Mimi broughted this bideo in her flashy box when she camed to bisit us this weekend. She just lefted to go back home. Hannah ALMOST gotted to come too. But....Mimi didn't fink she could handle a 2 yeer old in the car, by herself, for 7 hours. Maybe next time. Hope y'all fink Hannah is a adorable as we do!!

Edit after bideo upload: The sound is not synced wif the bideo (at least on owr view). We's not shur why it's nor rite....but, at least y'all get the idea of what she's trying to say.

Bisitor!!!!

Owr Mimi am coming to bisit tommorow!!! SHe am going to stay fur the weekend. She's not bringing Hannah or Caleb tho.(Them is Momma & Daddy's neice & nef-eww). That am a Good Thing. Grammie & Grampie are coming to bisit in a couple of weeks.

Daddy did good on hims test today and only missed one question. He gets to fly wif the birdies in a week!!

Ferst 100!!!

Whoohoo!!! Daddy gotted his ferst 100 on his test today!!! We am all the way proud of him. So is Momma. He starts in the pretend planes tomorrow.

On the "buffet" front, we gots 3 hummingberds!!! Momma saw all 3 of them at once, that's how she know's it not the same one. One of them efun buzzed her while she wuz sitting owtside talking to Grammie on the phone!! (Hi Grammie!!). Momma finks that they were fighting ofur the feeder. There are 2 ofur birds eating owt of the hummybird feeder. We's not shur what they are, but fink that they might be Common Yellowthroat, or a Yellow-headed Blackbird. She needs to get a better view of them to figure it owt. But, she finks that there is a pair. She saw one boldly marked and another not so much. We fink that they all look YUMMY!!!

We'll keep y'all posted. And try to get pic-shurs.

Kiara heer- I gotted to chase a squirrley yesterday!!! I wuz owtside wif Momma when one came frew the yard lookin' fur food. I fink I surprised him!! He ranned up the tree, and then I started to eat the grass instaed. Guess I'm not all that good of a hunter!

Happy Anny-bersary!!!

Today, June 30th, am Momma and Daddy's 1st anny-bersary!! We lufs y'all bof, and wish you many more yeers together! With us, of course!

Purrs and nose kisses,
~Meeko & Kiara

He's doing well, and passed his ferst MAJOR test!!! Whoohoo!! Momma actually started a blog fur them (so they'll quit hogging owrs!). You can find it heer: www.insainadventures.blogspot.com. Uncle Dan has his own bloggie too. It's heer. The links werk now....hehe. He's doin' the same fing that Daddy is, but he's a little bit ahead of Daddy. In ofur news Momma & Daddy's new nef-eww has arrived!! His name is Caleb (pics to come later).

Lookie at this silly dove. We've nefur seen a dove trying to eat frum a feeder! He's furry entertaining to watch!!

THIS wuz in OWR backyard yesterday!! Can you 'alieve it?!?! Not one, but three woofies!!! AND another one came later!! They're Momma's friends dogs, and the ladies were all in their kiddie pool and brought the dogs ofur. The woofies wented in their little pool. You can see it in the background. Momma sed that two of the woofies gotted in the "big" pool wif them!

Bisitors!!!!

We's gonna haf bisitors this weekend!!! Auntie Alicia is coming to town (her fiance Jon lives heer, but not wif us). And....Auntie Laura and Jonah and their little dog Grace are comig too. They are staying wif us. Momma sez that it's gonna be like living in Colorado again having efurryone together. Only Uncle Dan, Chuck, & TJ won't be here. Oh yeah, and Meghan, Trent's wife. They live heer too. And so does Scott (Katie the woofies Dad). Momma hasn't seen Auntie Alicia or Laura since she and Daddy lefted from their wedding almost a year ago! They are all the way 'acitied 'bout this weekend. So...that means that Momma is runnin' 'round the howse trying to get it "presentable". She's got most efurrything unpacked, just not all put away.

Trouble?!?

Rutruh....Kiara heer. I finks that I might be in trouble. Last night Momma and Daddy hadded their friends ofur and one of them brought his woofie wif him. Katie (the woofie) wuz in the backyard fur awhile., but since we wuz hidin' Momma closed the door where we were and letted Katie in. After a little bit, I wanted owt to 'vestigate. Well, I gotted all halloween-catish on Katie and she hid. But then she started walking towards me and Momma scooped me up to put me back in my room. But....I kinda gotted all freaked owt and climbed/clawed my way ofur Mommas hed! She hadded blood running down her face!! Then I went a hid under the bed. Momma sed that it wuz OK , she didn't blame me fur what happened, but I still feel bad.

Mom here: Kiara was really brave, more so than I anticipated. I ended up with scratches on my hands, chest, 8 on my face, and 2 good size ones on my scalp (which explains all the blood.) I feel bad for putting her in that position. I just wasn't quick enough to get her back in her "safe room".

We're back!!

Hi efurryone!! We'd maded it down to Del Rio just fine. It took fur-efur in the metal monster to get here. The ride wuzn't too bad. And we only gotted pulled ofur by one police-dude. He just letted us off wif a written warning. Heehee! We's in temp housing fur now, hopefully get a real howse today. Gotta run!

Whoohoooooo!!!

Hi efurryone!! We's back in Texas again!! We're all the a'citied 'bout that. Moving hasnt' been bad...so far. We were in Momma's metal monster fur 3 hours, but when we leaf heer on Tues. it will be 7 hours! Oh..we hadded sum HUGE thunderboomies last night. Rocks camed owt of the sky and efurrything!!! It wuz all the way scary! Momma & Daddy's monsters gotted damaged and the windshield on Momma's gotted cracked. They joke that it wuz Oklahoma getting back at them for being frum Texas!! We'll keep y'all posted on the going's on and hopefully post sum pict-shurs soon!

Long time no post....again

Hi efurryone!! WOW! It's been a REALLY long time since we blogger last. Of course, it's all Momma's fault. It's been crazy around heer. We wented to TX, Momma and Daddy wented on a cruise, and now we're getting ready to moove. We's not looking forward to that. Momma's startin' to get stressed owt a little. The moovers come on Monday to start packing all of owr stuff and Momma has to go get anofur root canal in her toofs. She's REALLY not happy 'bout that. We gots to go help Momma clean now.

Have a grate weekend!

pee ess: Tomorrow is Daddy's purfday!!!

A'citing news!!!

We's got sum a'citing news!!! Auntie Alicia gotted engaged!!! WHOOHOOOOO!!!!!! It happened last week, but Momma's just NOW helpin' us post about it. Sorry!~Momma And...Momma is going to be Matron-of-Honor! Her eyes gotted all leaky when Auntie Alicia asked her. That's the two of them at Momma's bachelorette party. Momma's on the right. This ofur one is Daddy, Momma, Auntie Alicia, and Jon (her fiance). The guys and Auntie Alicia all wented to the Air Force Academy together.

In ofur news...we's gonna be bisiting wif Grammie and Grampie fur a whole week coming up. Momma and Daddy are going on a cruise (wifowt us!) and we get to stay wif Grammie. We're going there 'cause Ms. Sandy, who used to feed us, moved to Germany.

In more ofur news....we fink that the "M" werd is going to be implemented furry soon. Momma's bringing in sum boxes and talking about "movers", "loading the truck", and "inspections". We'll keep y'all posted, but it doesn't sound good at all.

Hope y'all haf a grate week!!

Weekend Update

Hello efurryone!!! Hope y'all are hafing a grate weekend! Spring has finally spung heer!! Whoohoo! Momma's flowers are all startin' ta come up. Sorry fur y'all that are getting *MORE* snow.

On a sadder note....Mimi called yesterday to tell us that Miss Kitty (the owtside kitty) wented to the Rainbow Bridge on Fursday. Momma and Grammie's eyes were leakin' last nite. But...Miss Kitty hadded a FURRY long life, 'specially fur an owtside only kitty living in a crowded place.

On a happy note....Grammie and Grampie came up to bisit us fur Easter!! We's furry happy to see them. Daddy and Grampie are owt smacking the little white ball all ofur the place.

That's about it fur now.

From all of us to all y'all,
Happy Easter! He is Risen!!

Eggs-sitement!!!

Kiara heer.

I did somfing furry eggs-siting today!! Momma taked us owtside in the back yard when she gotted home frum hunting 'cause it wuz sooooo nice owt today. Well, while we wuz owt there....I tried climbing the pine tree!!! Momma wuzn't too happy 'bout it. In fact, she didn't realize that that's where I wuz 'till she heared my claws on the tree! (She wuz pulling sum weeds up). Boy...did she yell when she saw me!!! I wuz a squillion feet off the ground!!! Momma's note- only about five feet. There were birdies up there that I wuz tryin' to "bisit" wif. No biggie. But, the birdies DID come to eat while we wuz owt there. That wuz fury cool too. I may haf to try the tree thing again next time we go owt. I don't think so, missy. Dang it!!! BTW....Meeko hadded fun owtside too. Just not as much fun as me! Momma did laugh at us when we gotted scareded by the HUGE metal birdie that wuz landing in owr backyard. We were tripping ofur each ofur getting into the howse! It was an E-3 (airline-sized plane), not IN our yard, but a couple hundred yards away. It is pretty close though...they do startle me sometimes. One of the "benefits" of living on an Air Force base!

Purfday.

Today (3/11) am Grampie's 60th purfday!!!! Momma wented down to Texas this weekend to sur-prise him and to sell-y-brate. It werked!!! We luf you Grampie! So do Momma and Daddy. We'll see you in a few weeks!!

This am Grampie coming home frum the hospital. (He's the tiny thing you can barely see)

This am Momma and Grampie dancin' at the wedding this summer.

pee ess- Momma sed, "Holy crap....I actually got pictures to post right the FIRST time tonight!!"

Spring!?!?!

Well...Momma finks that Spring is starting to..um...spring. When she wuz owt feedin' the birdies and squirrlies yesterday morning , she sed that the air smelled like spring. Sounds crazy to us. AND sum of the tress are stating to get buds on them and the squirrlies and birdies are startin' to act "frisky"- whatefur that's 'apposed to mean. Momma might efen be able to open sum of the windows today!!! Whoohoo!

Gotta run...Momma has to go get her new mouf crown putted on. Haf a grate Leap Day Y'all!!

They say it's MY purrfday!!!

Kiara heer- Today is my purrfday!!! Well...at least it's the best guess that Momma maded when she gotted me and they didn't know the "real" day. I'm a whole 6 years old now. Does that mean that I'm all growed up now? I hope I(we) get a new cardboard scratchy box....owrs is pretty clawed up. Momma has to go hunting early today until late tonight. That doesn't leaf much time fur shoppin'. Hmmm. But, she DOES haf to get the green papers to go shopping wif, so I guess I'll let it slide if she's late wif my pressies.

HELP!!

We need y'alls help......we can't find owr links!!! Does anycat know where they wented to? They were there this morning, but now they are gone. GRRRRRRR!!! It makes it furry hard to check in on owr friends. Stoopid blogger.

Ice is eleventy-seven kinds of NASTY!!!! It took Momma fur-efur to get to werk. Yes, she wented in...over half of their patients showed up fur surgery (more than the staff!). The stupid ice has taken owt tons of trees and uprooted one of owr bushes owt front. It's also turned off the 'lectricity to over 200,000 howses!!! That's all fur now. We'll try to post more pic-shurs later.

Odds & Ends

Hey Efurryone!!!

That's where it's snowing/sleeting and it's thundering. And no, it's not us playing Thundering Herd of Elephants eifer. But, since it's so cold owt, Momma is feeding the birdies and the squirrlies. We gots pic-shurs of them!

Momma took care of her kitty when she wented to the land of the Cheeseheads. Anycat is welcome to come bisit and escape any craziness at their howse.

The sqwirllies are in T R O U B L E!!!! They tore into a brand new, squillion pound bag of biride seed that Momma lefted owtside ofur night. She wuzn't too happy 'bout it eifer. They maded a HUGE mess too! (We gots pic-shurs...will post later.) She says that she gives them their own special foods and that they should leave the birdie food alone!

On the dental front....Momma's crown is doing well. No bling, but Daddy sez that as much as it cost it should at least haf sum saf-fires or roobeess!

Hope efurryone has a safe Thankgiving!

An update....at last.

Yes....we know it's been awhile. As always, it's Momma's fault.

Well....Momma gotted her new crown today. We's disappointed a'cause there isn't any bling in it!! What kind of crown is that?!?!?

We just finded owt that we are going wif Momma and Daddy down to Grammie and Grampies howse next week. Momma didn't want to leave us heer by owrselves that long. So....we get to bisit wif owr cousin kitties.

Meeko heer- I gots an embarrassing question for y'all. Have any of you hadded a little blackhead-like fingy on yur lip? Mine wuz between where my furs stop and where my lip turns into my mouf. Momma gotted it owt, but she sed that it looked like a blackhead that beans get. Any ideas??

Purrs,
~Meeko & Kiara

Poor Momma

Owr poor Momma.....she gots to go get one of her toofs canaled today! She's not furry happy 'bout it eifur. She doesn't like going to the dentist to begin wif...and now this. Daddy is going wif her and we's gonna give her extra snuggles when she gets back home. Hope efurryone has a great weekend!

Long Time No Post

Hi y'all! Sorry that we haf been so horribull 'bout blogging. Momma takes full blame fur it. She has been furry busy. We got pic-shurs to prove it!! In fact, we might take an "o-fish-ul" break frum blogging. We'll still keep up wif efurryone...but just not post much. Not that that's any different than what we are doing now. Anywho...we don't get many bisitors anymore (could be cuz we don't comment often), but that's not the reason for the break.

Love and purrs,
~Meeko and Kiara

pee ess....enjoy our latest slide show!!

Introodr

 
 
 
 


Tonight we hadded an introodr. It wuz in OWR garadj. Momma wuz watchin' football when she heered a thump and a mean growl! It kinda scareded her. Daddy sed that it wuz just us fightin', but Momma knew better...she sed there's SOMETHING owt there!!! So they camed to see what the fuss wuz about and saw this owtside. It's a boy kitty! Momma wented owtside to see it later and saw that he still hadded his "bejangles" (Daddy's term for them). We tolded him (the kitty, not Daddy) that we didn't want no stinky boy kitty sniffin' 'round OWR howse and that he better GO AWAY if he knew what wuz good for him!!

Proof!

Kiara heer- Heer's proof of ONE of my many knots!!! That is one that Momma wuz able to get off of me withowt too much damage.....to her hands!

T-R-O-U-B-L-E

Kiara heer-...I's in BIG trouble tonite. I bit Momma...hard on the arm...twice! SHe wuz tryin' to comb owt sum of my knots wif the fancy comb the groomer lady tolded her 'bout. It werks, but I don't like it one bit. So, I attacked Momma's arm...again. I bited her yersterday too wifowt any reason. Tonite, she sed a couple of b-a-d werds and then sed "that's it...she's gettin' shaved!" to Daddy. HELP!!!! I don't wanna be shaved bald. There isn't anyfing medically wrong wif me. Momma and Grammie fink that I gotted the knots frum rolling 'round at Grammies howse tryin' to get my stink efurrywhere. But now, on top of having the knots, I got dnadruff. It's worse now that it wuz in Colorado!! The groomer lady sed it could be frum the stress of moving or my body tryin' to deal wif the knots. BTW...we tried a zoom-groom, but owr furrs are so long that all it did wuz make us static-ee. Hope efurrycat is having a good weekend.

We's still heer

We's heer. We didn't get washed away in all the rain and crash-kaboomies! The creek that is the next street ofur gotted furry, furry full though. But it didn't come into the street. We did haf a little lake in owr backyard. The birdies were furry happy 'bout that last night! And the froggies too! THat wuz just in owr immedate area...sum surrounding areas not far frum heer weren't so lucky.

Momma started her new hunting job today. Said that it was pretty boring. Just doing alot of paperwerk. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Kiara heer- Daddy keeps metioning getting me shaved!!! True, I DO haf HORRIBLE knots on bof of my sides, but that would be so embarassing!!! Any ideas? Momma has tried a fine toof comb, and trimming wif scissors....but you can imagine how well THAT werked!

Momma is still trying to catch/ photo the self-lighting bugs. No luck yet. SHe hopes they didn't all drown! Maybe she isn't patient enough? She only waits 15-20 minutes or so around the usual time that they come owt.

Sorry

Sorry that it's been FUR-EVER since we lost posted. Momma been busy wif the howse and hasn't had time to help us post. We haf been "lurking" around though.

Momma hasn't had much luck tryin' to get pict-shurs of the self-lighting bugs (or wif catching them). We's still werking on trying to capture them. Momma DID catch a froggie today that wuz in the garadj. She tried to put him in the flower garden...but he hopped away.

We meeted a woofie tonight!!! He wuz in owr howse!!!!! He (Charlie) lifs wif the beans across the street. They hadded to go owt of town fur fambly reasons, so Momma and Daddy watched him. Tonight, he followed Momma into the howse and tried to eat owr FOOD! I (Kiara) hissed and acted all Halloween-catish at him, but he didn't seem bothered. Stopid woofie! Momma has pict-shurs of him too.

That's all fur now...Momma will try to get sum pict-shurs up this weekend!

Monday update

We's getting settled in now. And all of owr stuff showed up...and was really owrs! Momma is werking on getting efurrything in place how she wants it. We are snoopervising, of course! Momma taked pict-shurs wif the flashy box and SAYS that she will post them soon fur us. We'll see 'bout that.

BTW.... we just realized that this is owr 200th post!! Whoohoo!

Guess what!!!! WE gots flying dragons (lots) AND bugs who's butts light up! Momma wuz all the way a'citied 'bout the lighty-butt bugs.

Mooving update

Fanks to efurryone for their kinds werds of support and fur bisiting!!! We had fun running all ofur the howse wif you! Well....the furniture is getting heer today!! Yay...but, that means we get locked in the bafroom so e don't get owt (again.) Kiara sneakes owt the front door a'cause it closes so s-l-o-w. She didn't go furry far at all. Momma is going to fix it today. The car ride wasn't so bad. Only 3 hours and not 15 like to Colorado. AND, Momma letted us owt of the PTU's while we were on the highway. Go run and hide. We'll update again later!
