Wow we have been having so much fun lately!  Yesterday we went to the department of licensing!!   where you go to get your drivers license!  OMG all this time I have been riding around in the car with Mom….I thought she had a license!  Mom said that she just needed to get her license renewed.  A likely story.

I got to go to work today.  First there was an important department meeting at an “off site” location.  It was great!   We should have more meetings!

Then I got to play in Mom’s office. She got this totally awesome computer that is just the right size for a small tiger!

Later I had a good time with all the equipment that mom left laying on her desk. You can’t expect me to ignore a fun pile of stuff like this with all kinds of things to get tangled up in.  I mean to help straighten out.  I like to help.  Mom is always saying what a big help I am.

First this weekend we did some gardening.  Me and Dixie looked at the flowers while Mom worked in the yard.

Later on back in the house me and Jimi got in trouble!  We were playing and I am not exactly sure how it happened but somehow the big water bowl got knocked over and spilled everywhere!  Jimi really likes his catnip toys but it was not his fault!  It was not my fault either these things just happen sometimes!  Mom came in and said who made this big mess? She needed 3 towels to clean it all up.  Me and Jimi had to go to his room for a timeout.

This is the water bowl where it happened. I said we should do a re-enactment to get a good photo but mom said NO.

Later Mom got out her suitcase. Uh-oh. This may not be a good thing.

But maybe we will be going to join Auntie Darcy in Indonesia!  She sent us pictures of her working hard doing geologist stuff on a business trip.  ha ha I photoshopped myself into this but I came out fuzzy!

It is good weather today !! So we went for a bike ride on the John Wayne Iron Horse Cedar Falls Snoqualmie Trail. It’s a long trail with a long name. I think the name changes when you are on different parts of the trail. We did not see John Wayne.

We went over some cool bridges!

Mom tried to get some action photos of me on the bike while it was moving!  Ha ha that was hilarious! Mom we should get a basket for me to ride in.

It was a beautiful sunny day!

Here I am trying to steer while mom takes pictures. I  think we need one of those helmet cams.

There was lots of pretty scenery. I wanted a photo of some flowers for Dixie. You should not pick the flowers just leave them for everyone to enjoy.

It has been a rainy weekend so far. We went for a walk and even with an umbrella mom got pretty wet. I am a tiger and do not mind getting wet but Dixie is just a puppy and had to ride in the satchel. So I rode with her to keep her company. Not because I was afraid of getting wet.

We got out to explore a little bit.  Here is the construction site.  It looks like they are moving the dirt around to make roads and flat spots to build houses.

We found a baby T Rex at a neighbors house!  He was mortally wounded.

Dixie wanted to look at the flowers.

At home Mom said it was time to wash my bandana. It was looking very rumpled.

After it dried it still looked all wrinkly so I asked mom if we could iron it.  Luckily Mom said she had other ironing to do but I could only WATCH no helping!!!  The iron is not a toy to play with!!!

Look how super duper my bandana looks now!

I hope it stops raining soon. All this excitement indoors is too much for me.

This morning I happened to be looking out a window and saw a raccoon climbing in a tree!!!  Mom got the bineacula beinoceler   binoculars out. It was climbing down the tree and stopped partway and was grooming itself like a cat does!

Then it climbed down some more and disappeared in the trees.  Wow that was so exciting! Me and Jimi are going to watch for more activity. I hope the neighbors all keep their cats and yappy little dogs indoors today.  There are probably tigers out there too.

Today I got to go to work with Mom!  For about half the day she had to go to some big important meeting blah blah blah and wanted to look professional which (it has been explained to me) does not include having a tiger with you in a Hello Kitty tote bag. So I got to stay in her office.  I took the opportunity to order some different tote bags.

Then later there was a birthday party for Brandi with cupcakes!!!!!! Yippee!  This is why Mom brought me to work! Here I am with the birthday girl. Brandi is sooooo beautiful!

Then I got to visit with Iveta who is totally gorgeous. And she thinks I am cute!

And here is me with my bestest friend Ellen the Harley rider!!!!  Wow what a super day I had with all these beautiful women.

On Saturday we went for a hike.  On the way there we stopped at a rest stop so mom could use the restroom.  I guess she needed to rest.  I used a tree.

Here we are on the trail.  Gosh there were so many wildflowers in the meadows it is amazing!

Here are some close-ups so you can see the pretty flowers better.

It was a super sunny fantastic day. We heard some other hikers saying they saw a bear in the meadows but I did not see any. There was also a rumor that someone spotted a tiger in the area but that is too weird.

Here is a picture of me with Mt. Rainier behind me.

And one more by a beautiful lake.

On Friday I got to go to work with Mom. Here we are trying to get a photo of the bicycle ride to work and the sun coming up.  Mom told me that I was going to meet her friend Ellen at work who thinks I am cute!  Ooh la la!

This is Ellen OMG she is so beautifulllll and OMG she rides a HARLEY!!!   I got to sit on the motorcycle with her!!!

Then Ellen took me for a ride in the parking lot YAYYYYYYY!!!!!

OMG it was the best fun ever!! And Ellen is super nice!!  Mom you totally need to get one of these.

After that I needed a little time-out to calm down.  Then later I got to go to an important meeting. I don’t know what it was about it was not about motorcycles so I stopped listening.

I met Tracey one of Mom’s good friends. This is the lady who gave Dixie to us!  That makes us related, I think. Tracey is gorgeous and really nice.

And this is Rod. He was doing something important but had time to sit with me and rub my tummy. I don’t let just anyone do that ya know. He is very handsome…almost as handsome as me.  It was a super fantastic day!!!

We  had another wild tiger visit us during the night!  It did a lot of splashing in the bird bath but skillfully did not leave any paw tracks.

Look it got in a tussle with Dino! Dino was down for the count and he is a T. Rex!   It must have been a very fierce tiger!

Wow it also made a whole bunch of strange holes in the lawn. Hmmm.  Mom says that squirrels dig holes like this and that is was probably a raccoon in the bird bath again. She does not believe.

Now I am keeping a sharp eye out for the wild tiger from a safe vantage point.  Jimi is helping me watch.

Oh and here is a picture of me with Callie. She is our most senior kitty she is about 18 years old that is about 100 in cat years. Callie has cancer in her leg and limps. We do not know how much longer she will be with us. She is the most beautiful and sweetest calico in the whole world. You cannot see it in this picture but she has a medallion on her chest to prove it.

This morning when it was barely light out we saw that a wild animal had been in the bird bath again. Here are the paw prints it made. It was a tiger!!

When Mom first looked out the window she thought there was a snake coiled up next to the bird bath!  WOW!  That would have been so cool but when we got outside we saw it was only her slipper ha ha ha ha! The slipper is black with green spots on it so it does kind of look like a garter snake. Here is the cool thing; the slippers were left outside the patio door so something moved them; the other slipper was out in the yard.  It must have been a tiger playing with mom’s slippers!

We have been sad lately. Our beloved Kitty Cat died last week. She was a foster kitty that lived with us for a long time.  Her name really was Kitty Cat.  She had lots of health issues for example she wore t-shirts because she had allergies that made her itchy and the shirts made her feel better. She was so beautiful.

Kitty Cat had a bad seizure and stopped breathing.  Mom was with her when it happened so that was good because I did not know what to do. It was really sad but it must have been time for her to cross the Rainbow Bridge. We have about 5000 pictures of Kitty Cat but hardly any with me in it too.

So I decided we need to get pictures of me with all the cats. Starting now. Here is me with another foster kitty who is a beautiful Siamese mix.
