Ola kala!: The Furry Friend Award

Hi, again! I've decided that I'll institute my own Award.

Ola kala!: The Furry Friend Award

Ola kala is a greek phrase that means "everything's good"; it's one of the etymologies that have been proposed for okay (OK). Okey?

Ah, what do you think about it? Here are the rules:
1. This award will be given to bloggys of furry friends that do or have done things to make the world around them a better one. Those actions don't have to be big ones. Sometimes small things are what we need to be a little more happy each day.

2. Each furry friend that receives this award, have to tell 3 things that he or she does or have done to make the world around them better.

3. Each one has to pass it on to another 5 or more furry friends (as many as you want); those furry friends can be cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters or any other furrything.

To receive the award's picture, you can copy the one under the title. The award's picture is from "El Morro", the most important Spanish fortress in Puerto Rico. It's in the Old San Juan. "El Morro" is one of a kind and is considered a World Heritage Site. To know more about it you can read here.

Now, I'll start with my list.

What do I do?
1. I purr every night to Mom and show her my tummy when she's working at the computer.
This makes her relax before going to bed.
2. I give kisses everytime Mom asks for them.
3. Mom and I donate money to a local group that rescue homeless animals, get them to the vet
and find them new homes in the island or even overseas.

You see? It's not hard!

An Award for my Blog!

My dear and good friend Maximus honored me with an Award: The Honest Scrap Award. Thank you, my friend, finally someone recognizes my bloggy.

Well, now I have to tell 10 things that nobody knows about me and pass the award to other 10 blogs.

Ok, here we go:
1. I wasn't adopted, I was bought (cheap, because I was mix) at a pet shop. I was with all my bothers and sisters, but Mom choose me.
2. I was little, skinny, no one expected that I would grow to be so big, if the pet owner would just imagine I would be so beautiful, he would have charge much more.
3. I was the only one with blue eyes of all my bothers and sisters, they all had green eyes.
4. When they brought me home I had ticks and fleas. My human sisters bath me regularly and
gave me medicine for that. I don't have that problem since then.
5. Mom had to wait three months until I accepted Prince, my stepbro. I didn't want him at all.
6. It's ok with me to go to the Vet, I don't mind needles and usually like the medicines if the taste good.
7. I hate when they cut my long fur and hate much more to be bath.
8. Almost every day I seat by my Mom's side (sometimes at her lap) and let her know how much I love her, I give her nosetaps and let her caress me. We get along great, except when I want to hang out and the doesn't let me.
9. I love to eat and I eat any kind of cat food. My Mom buys diet food for me because of what she calls my weight problem. I only weight 18 pounds, that's husky, not fat, right? I recognize which is my food from my stepbro's Prince and I don't eat his as long I have food on my plate. Prince does the same.
10. I'm afraid of Kala (the only dog I am afraid of) one of my stepsis. She's grumpy. I always try to be at a safe distance from her. I really don't trust herbecause she would yap at anyone.

An unfortunate event...

Hi, I'm Liah, one of Piru's stepsisters (between us, I don't like that label, I prefer just sister). I'm writing today in behalf of Piru, who is hiding under the dinner table and don't want to come out, even to write today's entry.
I'm supposed to write about the unfortunate event that sent Piru under the table. Instead, I'll write about me, since I'm the princess of the house and I'm so beautiful...
- Ejem...

What? Okey, Mom, I'll write about Piru because this is not my blog (can you sense my attitude?). Why don't you make Prince do it? Because he doesn't care, I know.

Well, then, here we go. Last night Piru was in his hang out time at the backyard. He was minding his own business, as so was Prince. Mom and I were at the couch, watching America's Funniest Home Videos and the other two girls were sleeping. We were all happy doing relaxing things. Suddenly, we heard a cat's cry and a loud meaw and then another and then another, all very loud. Mom jumped from the cough and ran towards the balcony calling Piru and Prince out loud. She didn't see any of them, but the meaws were still going. So she ran down stairs to the backyard and ran towards the sound. With all those screams, Mom running and all the confusion that even I got scared myself and hid behind the sofa.

After the meaws stopped, Mom saw Piru coming from the front of the house, looking really scared and running so low that he was almost crawling. Then, she found Prince hiding under a car.

First, she thought that Prince was fighting. But he was cool, he came up to the house and went to his dinner plate to eat. But Piru, oh, poor Piru was still very shakey and have been nervous until then. So, apparently, the fight was with him. When he came indoors he inmediately looked for a place to hide and eventually got under the table. His eyes were still wide open and his ears were leaning backward. I think this demostrates that he's loyal to his motto: "It's better to be an alive mouse than a dead lion". It's no wonder he tried to sleep in the bed with Mom. That can be a big problem, because the only one who can sleep with Mom is me and nobody else.

Enough about Piru, let's write about me now.

- Ejem...

But, Moooooooommmmm... he never writes about meeeeeeeee. Ok, just a few lines. Thanks, Mom!

Recently, I had an unfortunate event too. I got some kind of "ball", a little one, on my neck. Mom noticed it when she took me for grooming. She didn't noticed it before because my hair was long. So, she asked the vet to look it up. He took a sample and sent it to the lab. He told Mom that it could be many things, including cancer. Oh, that was like a bomb for my poor Mom. She got so sad and cried the day the vet call her to go to the office to show her the results. I told Mom not to worry because I was gonna be fine. We animals do know these things, but humans don't understand that. Anyway, we went to the vet's office and he told Mom that I only had an abscess, try to empty it and sent me home with some antibiotics. The only problem now is that I HATE pills, so Mom has to find ways to make me swallow those pills. So, Mom, don't worry anymore, I'm gonna be as healthy as ever and I'm gonna love you for many- many years to come.

As Piru says, "Ola kala!".

I am not mad anymore...

Today, Mom let me hang out as much as I wanted. I was freed from the fun park at 7:30 am and was out until 11:00 am. Then I went to sleep until 3:00 pm. After that time I was free to go around and Mom let me outside until 9:00 pm. The reason of so much time outside was that today is a holiday and Mom was at home.

So I was thinking, whats the use of being mad with the person that treats me so nice. I understand that if I was left to do whatever I want I would get in trouble. I would be lost from the many times I wondered off.

Here is a picture of me with Mom, see that I am over with my tantrum?
Ola kala!

I'm furious. HISSSSS!!!

MRRRLIAOOOUUUUUUU, ARGH!!!

Yes, as you can see, I'm furious. Why? I'll tell you why!

Yesterday was a happy day. It was Valentine's Day! I received a post card from Niqqi and everything was perfect. So, I decided to take a nap- of course- and went to my Fun Park, because it's cool and dark in an area behind some boxes. I always sleep until around 3:00 PM, and wake up starving. So, I woke up and, what do you think? I was trapped! Mom closed the door of the Fun Park early! As I was sleeping, she served more water and food on my dinner station at the Fun Park, closed it before I woke up and left for a concert she wanted to attend.

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!?

I was left there alone- well, with my stepbro Prince, but being with him is like being alone. I had food and everything, but I didn't have time for my afternoon hang out in the neighborhood. And, to make it even worst, she didn't come home until midnight, so I had to stayed there until today!

Oh, she's gonna pay for this!

I was sooooo mad, that I kicked some boxes. When she opened the door this morning she found a mess at the Fun Park. It's not so fun now, ah? During the day, I'm gonna get back at her, I'm gonna do everything that pissess her off. I started already. As soon as she opened the door, I headed out so fast that she only could see a blur. After a while I went to the front door that is always closed and knocked. As soon as she opened it, I ran away, after all,I didn't want to come in anyway. Later, I entered at the back door. Mom received me by calling me in a lovely way, I only looked at her and sat down. So, she ran to the kitchen and served my daily ration of salmon dinner, warmed it up and put the dish in front of me. I looked at it, then looked at her and walked away. After that I thought that it was a mistake to leave that salmon dinner and came back, but there was my sassy stepbro, Prince, devouring it. Now I'm even more furious!!!

I have to have my revenge!
What do you think about it? Should I get back at Mom for leaving me trapped all afternoon and night while she was hanging out? What can I do?

Not feeling so Ola kala today.

I've got mail!

Yesssssss, I've got mail! My first mail ever, and my first St. Valentine's card from my dear friend Niqqi. It's a beautiful card, I'm so touch.

I'm so excited!!!

My human brother went to the post office and found the post card. Inmediately, he called Mom and told her that there was mail for "Mr. Pirulo Furry", he couldn't belive it. Ja, ja.

Here I'm with my post card from Niqqi.

















And here I'm reading it. As you can see, I still don't need glasses.
















And, do you know what? Prince was jealous, he was asking why he didn't get a post card, too. He even tried to take mine!


















Well, Niqqi, you have made me very very happy. Thanks a lot.

Ola kala!
