Where has the time gone?

Today I received a birthday card from  Pipo, Dalton and Benji! Their Petcretary  is the BEST (unlike mine-glares at Mommy)

MarvBD2019

I, Marvelous am 3 years old!

I a couple of days, I will have been living in Canada for 2 years!

We have not been blogging since the end of May. Daddy had a horrible fall, he stayed with us for a while, then Mom was travelling back and forth on weekends to do the yard and house work (its a 6 hour drive). Then she went there for 2 weeks and cleaned the house (thoroughly) tried to beat the yard into shape (3 years of neglect) and built a shed. Dad was still furry ill. He had some some sort of bronchial infection. Then, 4 days after Mom got back to Richmond and overtime for the software rollout (They have one at the end of July and the other at the end of August), Dad was in a catastrophic car accident and has been in ICU in Kelowna (a 5 hour drive from Richmond) Mom has been there for the last 3 weekends (and stayed in Midway which is a 2 hour drive from the hospital so she can do the yard work).

Mom has been just too tired to blog for me!

I have been a totally rotten cat! I have escaped twice and gone for walkabouts in the townhouse complex, I have beating up Kozmo and Jo Jo and hissing at Cinnamon and chasing Ninja.
Mom threatened me with Violin strings last night when I was scratching the carpet on the stairs last night!

So you know we are all great, here are some pictures of all of us!

Me! Giving Mom a VERY rare hug (I mostly growl at her)

We won’t be posting much, and we have not had much of a chance to read our furrends blogs, Mom has not had any time…and when she sits, we ALL want cuddles!

Can you guys please send some purrayers for our Dad. He is still in ICU.

  2. I am so sorry to read what your mom and your family is up against. Sending healing purrz to your dad. You are being the heir to the Cat From Hell by being one yourself. This is gonna sound funny coming from me but you’ve got to help your mom get through this stretch.

  5. Marv first of all HAPPY BIRTHDAY. It sounds like instead of a human little boy having a case of “The Terrible Twos” it sounds like you are having “The Terrible Threes” !! Try to be a good boy for your Mom because it sure sounds like she has her hands full taking care of The Dad. We are SO sorry that he was so sick and now has been in a very bad car accident. Your Mom is up to her eyeballs in just trying to keep up with two households and yards and all of you……then trying to be “there” for your Dad as well. I’m sure you’re acting out because you want her HOME – I can imagine you miss her a lot. Let’s hope life will settle down for your poor Mom and all of you very soon and that your Dad recovers with no lasting problems!!

    Hugs and again – HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
    Love, Teddy

I heard the news from Ann and wanted to wish you a happy purrday and big purrs of hope and healing for dad. Hugs to mom xoxo, Layla and the Cat Wisdom 101 crew

    MARVELOUS!!! – I kid you not, I am sitting here this morning telling Bertie and Gail that I have not heard from you for aaaages… and then here you are popping up on my screen!!! But what news you bring us. This is no good at all my darlings. I am feeling badly that I did not be in touch earlier (though being down and out for six weeks myself with some mystery bug did have something to do with that…).

    I am sending super-strength POTP over your way and let mama Barb know that blogging must take a back seat in such things -though it is nice to know you are all still here and that we can get a glimpse of you now and then. Huge Huggies and whiskeries (and wags for Cinnamon), YAM-aunty xxx

  44. Happy Birthday, Marv! 🎂🎁🎈We have missed you ever so much. We have stopped by a few times to see if you’d posted, but sadly no! We kept asking our mom to write and check on you and your mom. She has been so wrapped up in the construction project and with Sawyer, she does nothing we ask. We are super sorry to hear about your dad. We hope he gets better really soon. Mom will add him to her prayers, and we all are sending purrs and POTP. Mom and all of us are also sending love to you, all of your fursibs and your mom.
