blessed and prosperous 2023!!!!!

A Bunch of Boxes! (Boxing Day 2022)

 While neither my Angel Bobo or Angel Cody were ever really that interested in boxes, Roary is OBSESSED! There isn't a box that comes into our home that Roary doesn't investigate. I miss so many photo ops of Roary with boxes because I am just so used to him being all over each and every one of them that I forget to photograph him.

In honor of today being Boxing Day, I am sharing some of the photos that I did take!

HISTORY OF BOXING DAY: "The day after Christmas, Boxing Day is celebrated in the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. But let’s clear up something first — Boxing Day is not about pummeling opponents. This unique holiday has its roots in gift-giving on one hand and classism on the other. Here’s what we know about Boxing Day’s origins.Traditionally, the holiday was celebrated by giving to the needy and less fortunate, but over time, Boxing Day has evolved and been commodified in several different ways. Boxing Day is also now a time of year when big sales are offered by shops traditionally after Christmas in the UK – similar to Black Friday in the USA. Sales and revenue are so heavy now in countries that celebrate Boxing Day that now some retailers advertise ‘Boxing Week.’ These worldwide sales feature deals and discounts lasting until the end of the month." You can read more about the history of Boxing Day here.

So, tell me, are your kitties as obsessed with boxes as Roary is?

HAPPY BOXING DAY TO ALL!!

Wishing Everyone a Happy and Merry Holiday!!!!!

National CAT Day AND National Cat DADDY Day!!

 

Hi everyone!! As you can clearly see, it's me, Roary. 

I look pretty serious, don't I?

Well, I look serious because today there are TWO super special days tied into one!!! 

Today is National Cat Day AND National Cat Daddy Day!!

Ok, I know, EVERYDAY is National Cat Day, but let's just humor the rest of the world by honoring this day anyway.

National Cat Day is celebrated on October 29 every year! It was created by Colleen Paige to bring awareness to the number of cats that need to be rescued each year. In my opinion the number of cats that need to be rescued should be brought to everyone's attention EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR, but they don't listen to me!

Thank you Ann of Zoolatry
for this great badge!

HAPPY NATIONAL CAT DADDY DAY DAD!!!

YOU ARE THE BEST!!

In my world it is only right that I celebrate BOTH days together! You see, Mom is the one who actually saw my adorable face online on Petfinder, but it was DAD who drove quite far away to a Petsmart that wasn't anywhere near our home at ALL to meet me FIRST. HUGE MISTAKE MOM!! (You see, Mom wimped out because she was afraid, she thought I wouldn't like her or Dad, so she sent Dad to check me out.). Well, the second Dad approached my cage I KNEW that HE was the one for me! I reached my paw out to him, looked even CUTER than I already am and that was IT!!  The next day Dad brought wimpy Mom out to meet me, I was adopted, and the REST IS HISTORY!!

DAD IS MY GUY!!

The second The Giant Sheltie retires for the night in his crate, I appear in the living room. I head straight over to WHEREVER Dad is sitting so I can snuggle with him. Dad doesn't feed me most of my meals and he doesn't scoop my litter much, (Mom does that, as she SHOULD), but I STILL LOVE MY DAD!!!

IT'S DAD WHO SEALED THE DEAL

 ON MY ADOPTION BY MEETING ME FIRST!!

I keep trying to find ways to get rid of Mom and the Giant Sheltie, I bring tiny toys out strategically hoping the Giant Sheltie will eat them and will be gone, but Mom always intercepts them before he even sees them!

I MUST COME UP WITH A NEW PLAN!!!

Any ideas? Leave me a comment and tell me!!

Love, Roary

(PEEEESSSSSS: Mom uses comment moderation on the blog, so if you don't see your comment right away don't worry! Mom is out watching the Lions lose on Sunday and will approve comments later today or tomorrow!!! Thank you!!)

WE KNOW SOME AMAZING CAT DADDIES IN THE BLOGOSPHERE AND WE WISH YOU ALL A HAPPY CAT DADDY DAY!!! 

Mom's Birthday Was Saved!!

 Hi furiends!! It's Roary,and boy oh boy Levi and I were sooooooo mad at Mom!!! Mom ALWAYS helped Angels Cody and Dakota put something up on the blog for her birthday, but she has NEVER helped us post anything for her birthday since we came to live with Mom and Dad!  We can't do anything without her help!

Well, Mom was just reading her facebook greetings and guess what? Our dear furiend Glogirly SAVED US!! LO AND BEHOLD she surprised us and made a card from Levi and I!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH
SWEET GLOGIRLY!!!
NOW LEVI AND I
DON'T LOOK LIKE BAD "KIDS"
LOVE YOU!!

ROARY: "Even though I prefer Dad to you, Mom, you KNOW I DO LOVE YOU and wish you the HAPPIEST OF BIRTHDAYS!!!!  Why would I raid your sock drawer and deliver your socks to you pawsonally in the kitchen and in the bathroom if I didn't? You also scoop my litter and feed me so you DO rank in those categories! NOW...WHERE IS DAD? I need to sit on his lap. Love, Roary"

LEVI: "Happy Birthday Mom!!!!! You KNOW I am obsessed with you!! (I love Dad too but I LISTEN to you) and I LOVE to give you kisses. I also love when you sing to me and talk to me in the car when you take me to daycare. Plus, you and I are BOTH from Ohio!!!"

"So happy you are having a fabulous birthday Mom! (Even if you did banish me to daycare today so you could enjoy your day)"

Love, Levi

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!!

LOVE FROM 

ROARY AND LEVI

Challenge your Pet with the 2 in 1 Dog Treat Puzzle & Chew Toy by Uahpet!

Hi every furry! Today I am SUPER excited to share a Dog Puzzle toy with you that Levi recently was lucky enough to try!

The toy is made by Uahpet and it is the:

2 in 1 DOG TREAT PUZZLE & CHEW TOY

(Even Roary got in on the action!!)

Levi is a SUPER strong chewer and an extremely intelligent dog. We are always on the lookout for toys that will challenge him as well as toys that will stave off boredom. When Levi has activities to do and things to play with he is far less likely to cause mischief!!

The 2 in 1 Dog Treat Puzzle & Chew Toy features a 16 hole dog food puzzle chassis with a food dispenser that is SO STRONG even Levi hasn't chewed through it! The two pieces can be played with separately or combined to make finding the treats more difficult. There are 4 different game modes and all help satify a dog's sniffing and chewing needs!!

Photo courtesy of Uahpet on Amazon

If you look at the photo above, you place the treats in the openings and slide the orange and blue circle direction sliders over to completely cover the treats. The dog has to work at getting the treats out.

In fairness, Levi figured out that part within 30 seconds!!!!!!! (I have to work on making it more difficult for him).

Take a look at the blue food/treat dispenser above in the middle of the chassis, that has become Levi's FAVORITE TOY!!! He loves to run around with it, and I fill it with treats, sometimes his kibble and other goodies! He even brought it with him to the groomer to occupy/distract him from the various dogs/sounds.

The puzzle is a great size! It is 13.3 inches diameter and 2.49 inches tall. It is larger than most dog puzzle toys which makes it great for dogs of ALL sizes. (Cats would probably like the puzzle portion too!)

The blue circle toy in the middle can be used as a slow feeder. This helps dogs who eat too fast to eat more slowly which can prevent them from getting bloat (a condition that can be deadly). 

THERE ARE NO REMOVABLE SMALL PARTS in this puzzle making it safe, and it is made out of non-toxic, BPA free materials. This toy is safe for the environment and will not harm your dog when they lick or bite the blue dispenser. (IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE that NO TOY IS INDESTRUCTIBLE, and dogs should always be supervised when playing with ANY TOY!!)

Levi adores the blue portion of this dog puzzle, and it is used MULTIPLE times a day. He throws it, chews it, barks at it, licks it and it has yet to have even one scratch or tooth mark on it.

The dispenser is easy to clean with warm water and a dog-friendly soap after use. The puzzle also features a non-slip bottom.

I have bought a number of dog puzzle toys through the years, and I will say that this one is the BEST I have had either of my dogs use. While Levi doesn't use the puzzle portion very often right now (until I make it much more difficult for him to figure out), the fact that he uses the blue food/treat dispenser MULTIPLE times per day makes the 2 in 1 Dog Treat Puzzle & Chew Toy by Uahpet a TOTAL WIN FOR ME!!!!!

Our kind friends at Uahpet are offering you a discount code to use that is good for ONE YEAR!!!!

THE CODE IS FOR 15% OFF AND IS GOOD ON ALL OF THEIR PRODUCTS IN THEIR AMAZON STORE!! THE CODE IS CARENCODY

Custom Pet Portraits are the PERFECT Holiday Gift!

 If you are anything like me, you take TONS of photos of your pets. Out of 100s of photos there is a good chance that maybe a handful of them would be photos that you would like to keep forever. Printing photos at home s great, but wouldn't you much prefer turning those pet photos into art?

Through the years I have had a number of custom pet portraits done, that I cherish.

My Quirky Kitchen!!

 I've also gifted myself cuddly cat pillows that look like my pet. Other items I've gifted myself (or have been the lucky/grateful recipient of) include phone cases, mugs, candle holders and more, all made from photos of my pets.  My custom pet portraits that are displayed throughout my home make me smile on a daily basis, they remain my favorites!

It's nearly the end of September, the holidays are right around the corner!!! Get a jump on holiday gift giving NOW for the pet lovers in your life!!!  WHAT ABOUT GIFTING YOURSELF? We are always thinking of unique gifts for the holidays for our pets,    and others, but we shouldn't forget ourselves either!!

Roary the BOUNTY HUNTER!!
My Portrait is a 9x12

I was recently afforded the opportunity to have a custom pet portrait designed by a company called Mr&MrsPaw. (I was contacted by Responsival, the agency who represents  Mr&MrsPaw, I was not contacted by Mr&MrsPaw).

 ABOUT MR&MRS PAW:

"Mr&Mrs Paw creates pet portraits to celebrate your furry loved ones! Mr&MrsPaw creates personalized pieces of art to commemorate your pet. Besides canvas, customers can also receive customized phone cases, throw pillows and mugs. Best of all they offer unlimited revisions until you are happy with your artwork!"

Mr&MrsPaw care about animal welfare. They are proud to be a named partner of The Humane Society International.

The process was easy:

• You choose your costume/theme
• Upload Your Photo
• Place Your Order

 EASY PEASY!! Deciding on a theme was the most difficult part, there are sooo many to choose from!!  It was important to me to take Roary's personality into account when deciding what theme on their website would suit him best. Finally, I decided on the Bounty Hunter because Roary LOVES to hunt and kill bugs! It's perfect!

Once I decided on my theme, it was time to choose a photo.   I already knew I was choosing a custom canvas portrait and once I chose the photo, I was ready to roll. 

I was sent a proof to view before I confirmed the order, (I DID have difficulty viewing the proof initially, which could have been a computer glitch on my end, but the designers worked with me and ended up sending the proof in a format that I COULD open.)

Once confirmed, it took approximately two weeks for my portrait to arrive (WHICH IS WHY YOU NEED TO GET A JUMP ON YOUR HOLIDAY ORDERING NOW!!). It was WELL WORTH THE WAIT!! The Bounty Hunter portrait of Roary is displayed with pride among my other collectibles in my kitchen.

I couldn't be happier with it! I'm hoping you will visit Mr&MrsPaw and gift yourself or the pet lovers in your life with one of their most unique creations!!!

FTC Disclaimer: This is a sponsored post by Responsival. I received a complimentary canvas portrait and financial compensation for featuring  Mr&MrsPaw. That has no influence whatsoever on this review. I am always committed to sharing the good and the bad of all the companies I feature, regardless of compensation. I only share information about products that I have used or would use and only share a product if I feel it is of relevance to my readers.

Happy 2nd Adoption Day to Our Roary!!

 It is so hard to believe our adorable "marshmallow boy" Roary has been with us TWO YEARS!!! It's time to celebrate!!!  I had introduced you to Roary quite some time ago and for this post there will be a mix of his intro post and some new photos! Hope you enjoy!

Two years ago, I believe in August I thought I might be up for adding a kitty to our family again, I wasn't sure, but I subscribed to a number of sites and figured if it was meant to be it would be. One day after meeting two other cats that were instantly obvious, they were NOT the right ones, I saw this:

Yes, Roary began his life as a "Felix!" I saw this face and instantly fell in love. I decided to send Lenny to PetSmart to check him out in his cage first, just to see if he was friendly. Lenny came home with a great report, "Felix" held his paw out to Lenny and proceeded to work his way into his heart. I promptly filled out an application, they checked my references, and an appointment was made to meet "Felix" on September 21, 2020.

The rest is history! "Felix" instantly was named Roary, (after the Detroit Lions mascot), and we promptly adopted him. Roary was born June 10, 2020. He was a little over 3 months old when he joined our family. What strikes me as strange is Dakota was diagnosed with cancer on June 8th, we found out Cody had to have biopsy surgery on June 9th and Roary was born June 10th. It certainly seems that a higher power had a plan that I knew nothing about.

The original Roary and I at a game on my birthday

Our Roary, a friendly, playful, adorable bundle of fur came into our house like a terror. He was into EVERYTHING (and I DO mean EVERYTHING!) From getting behind the washer/dryer, to getting stuck under our china cabinet (or so we thought, until we called the Fire Department and Roary came out 2 minutes before they arrived after being under it for nearly an hour) .......we knew we had a real character on our hands. He went from being UNDER the china cabinet to scaling it.

Roary LOVES to give kisses, he LOVES being held, cuddled and petted. NOTE: BY HIS DADDY!!! Roary is the ONLY one of the three cats I have had that really isn't into ME!!! Don't get me wrong, he loves me, (mostly for food lol) and talks to me. But for Roary, the world revolves around his DADDY and yes, even Levi. BEFORE ME!!

you will be seeing this photo again
on Cat Daddy Day!! (Stay tuned!!) 
Thanks, Ann, (Zoolatry)for the great editing job!!

Unlike Cody who was completely disinterested in boxes, Roary has yet to meet a box that he DOESN'T like!

Roary and Levi get along much better than they did a year ago. We still can't allow Levi to be out of his crate ALONE with Roary if no one is home, because Levi still plays too rough. Levi feels that Roary's HEAD should be in HIS MOUTH! (I know Roary looks delicious and ready-to-eat, but we don't want Levi taking that literally!!)

Roary was a most darling kitten, and he is an adorable cat. He has grown into his body, but his head seems surprisingly small. It's as if his body grew but his head decided to stay the same! 

 

Look at the above photo and check out the photo on the left with the blue socks in it. Roary's latest obsession is OPENING MY SOCK DRAWER and he TAKES OUT THE SOCKS!!! Every day I find socks that Roary brings to me in the kitchen. He doesn't just play with them, he DELIVERS them to ME.  I'm assuming that this is the way that he shows me he loves TOLERATES me.

Every day we are grateful for our fun, adventurous, mischievous Roary. He is truly a special boy. He's kind, patient and extremely intelligent. We love our "Marshmallow" boy and wouldn't trade him for the world!

Happy 2nd Adoption Day Roary!!!

xoxoxo

Love, Mom, Dad and Levi
