Austin is in the building!

There's nothing much in the paper today!

Oh well! Some all-over-body newsprint cologne won't go amiss!

Hi everyone, Austin here! We have been absent in recent days due to the fact that my human grandma has not been well and the staff has been somewhat diverted. The upside to this is that my human uncle has been staying over and that means more attention and scritches. Truth be told, I love him being here as it means I am not the token male in the house and we can hang and do blokie stuff together and also his voice isn't so screechy.

Housekeeping stuff - Because we were getting so much spam the Staff has turned off anonymous and name/url options for comments. If that is a problem, please mail us and we will restore the options.  Also, as an iPad user, those blogs we visit that have comments embedded below the post rather than open in a separate window, are difficult to type into, as for some reason the screen usually freezes. Mostly we have to type the comment elsewhere and copy and paste. It's a hassle. Anyway, just saying if we don't always comment, as there are so many lovely blogs to visit, we have to be a bit infrequent with our commenting, especially at the moment.

My toofs - The procedure which I had at the v-e-t-s the other week hasn't really worked, so I have to go back in February for another consult!!! Because of this looming appointment with doom I am planning a trip to Catmandu about that time, so the Catmandon't stick his 'orrible digits in my mouth anymore hehehe!

  3. Oh Austin... sorry the human grandma isn't feeling well. And sorry to heat you're going to have another date with the Catmandon't.

    We're on an iPhone now and definitely feel your comment pain! We don't mind it at all that you don't allow anonymous comments...we had to do the same. But we will make sure to set our comments to open in a separate window. Thx for the tip !

    It's do nice to see you again. ...but if you do any more hard words of the day, we're going to need Dom pronunciation help!

    Waffles Too is a little slow you know.

    XO, Katie

  12. Austin, when mommy uses HER iPad it freezes too with some comment blocks. Mommy thought it was just HER.

    Sweetheart, what else will he do with your toofs?

    I hope your gramdmother is all better soon. Mom said she knows what those times are like as do many of our humans.

    I have missed you very much. xox

  15. Austin, I'm sorry 'bout your Gramma and hope you can find a way to avoid the dreaded v-e-t. About the comments, I didn't like the comment not in a pop up window so I changed them. I don't know what's going on with the remote version of the blog. The format was changed on me so you'll have to let me know if it's OK.

  26. I did not know newspaper was a scent! Personally, I rub ALL over the DadKatt's just-taken-off clothing to get MY scent all over IT! My scent is far superior.

    Nice to see you again, handsome! I hope you have a super day!

    And we're sending purrs for your vet visit & your hooman grandmother. XOXO

    PURRS!

  27. Glad you have a bloke in the house, but we do hope your grandmama is well soon. We'll see about comments on our site though I'm not sure a separate box is an option. But your appointment with doom...

  28. Why do these vets take such delight in torturing us so - stealing our teeth seems to be their favourite.

  31. Hey Austin!! So happy to see you...doin' my happy paw pat dance right now! Sorry 'bout Grandma, hope she feels better. And those toofie problems are pawful, so hope you get a good bill of healthy toofs soon.

    Comments: I cannot leave a comment on the blogs that require me to click, if WP, Google etc, them input my blog, then click continue, then click publish. My iPad DOES NOT allow that, freezes at the Continue box...so I don't leave comments on any blog that does that. Blogspot seems to be the iPad nemesis paw hugs, Savvy

    ReplyDelete
  32. We hope your Gma feels better really soon (and you too Austin).

    We also has more problems leaving comments when we are on our iPad (Mom is on the laptop right now) so that is sporadic for her.

    I do agree with Savvy iPads seem to be very disagreeable with blogspot.

  33. We are all sending purrs to you Grandma. I sure hope your toothy problem gets all better soon!

  42. so sorry to hear about your Grandma. That can't be easy, but you are blessed to have all that extra attention from your uncle! :)

    sorry too to hear your procedure didn't help as much as you would have liked. paws crossed that what ever comes next does the trick.

    many purrs that you all will be a little less preoccupied in the near future, I know how hard that can be on a soul.

  43. Hi Austin! Thanks for coming to visit us. We are sorry to hear you are having toothy problems and hope it can be sorted without to much pain to you (or your mum's purse).
    We hope your Grandma is feeling better.

  44. I myself do not have an uncle. I have a cousin who's old enough to be The Queen's Uncle, but I call him an Introodur and I do not like him. I am glad he does not stay here for long periods. I mean, it's bad enough that the Human wants to live here all the time but she opens the cans.
