11-4-2010: Blog Blast for PEACE

Hi efurryone ... We're joinin' in an' posting for peace on our bloggie. Won't you do your part to wage peace in your little corner of the world? If woofies an' kitties can do it, so can YOU!

Shhhh ... Charmee's sleepin'!

Monday morning is often the least favorite day an' time of the week ... 'specially if you hafta work like Mom does. As she was leavin' this morning, she snapped a photo of a furry sleepy Charmee wrapped in the afghan that Mom made a bunch of years ago. He was comfy an' was tryin' to get more than his typical eighteen or so hours of sleep. It's rough bein' a cat. He slept much better after Mom snapped off the overhead lights an' closed the bedroom door. Shhhh ... He's still sleepin'!
