To all our furiends! We're back!

Hi everyone!!  We finally got mom to get off  set her priorities straight.  We demanded politely asked  her to at least have some kind of consideration for us and take ONE measly picture of us and post it so all our furiends can see we are OK!  I even showed her how some furiends posted 2 and 3 times on our last post leaving us nice comments for the past 3 weeks.  I told her our furiends were going to think Alien took us and lost us some where out there!!  Just look at the horrible cute picture of Lala & I bored out of our minds resting on the couch.

Now listen to this.  She had the nerve to tell us explained she was too busy for us teaching us a lesson!!! A lesson, in what????  She said that we and our furiends complain don't care so much for the flashy box and are always complaining commenting on our posts that we don't like them. So on behalf of all the secretaries mom's, she was making an example teaching  us a life lesson to be "Thankful for what we have" because you'll never know when you just might not have it any longer.   

Ok.  I've gotta say that it being Thanksgiving and all, I did believe her.  BUT WAIT!!!!! How come Lala and I spent Thanksgiving alone in our crates while she went to off to enjoy her turkey dinner!!???? Now where's the compassion?!  Look at our picture.  It's worth a 1000 words.

 Happy belated Thanksgiving to all our furiends and families. Thank you for all your kind wishes and for visiting us even when we didn't couldn't get on the computer.  Shhh! For those of our furiends that did receive an email or two from me (when I would sneak her iphone away).

With much love, hugs & smoochies! XOXOXO

Anipal Photo Hunt #12 Dia de Los Muertos/All Souls Day

Dia de los muertos ~ The day of the dead
It sounds like a movie.

The Day of the Dead is a tradition that dates back to the ancient civilization of the Aztecs. This tradition was originally held during the Aztec month of Miccailhuitontli, which falls during the months of July and August. After the arrival of the Spanish, the Catholic church converted the tradition to fit their tradition of All Saints Day, or El Día de Todos los Santos. It is custom to honor the people who have passed away with flowers called zempaxochitl, or marigold flowers. The dead are celebrated not only with flowers, but also with the cleaning of graves and altars that have ofrendas (offerings) for the dead. The offerings consist of el pan de muerto (the bread of the dead), sugar skulls, copal incense, velas (candles), favorite foods, drinks, and any other favorite object of the deceased. The offerings are done so that the dead may once again enjoy the things that they once loved. 

El Día de los Muertos is a day to remember our loved ones who have left the world of the living with stories and good things about them and by rejoicing in the idea that they will be enjoying their favorite things once again. For my mom, it is a combination day.  For on this day, 29 years ago, her mom went to the bridge.  There are other family and friends as well, but I wanted to just mention this as it is near and dear to our heart's.

I am honoring my brother Dylan.

Although I never had the opportunity to meet Dylan while he lived with mom, I do hope that our path's crossed. We both came from the same rescue agency.  I followed a month or so later. Mom still thinks of him and visits his website. If you want to visit as well, click on the picture of him on my sidebar. In remembrance of my brother, mom wears a dog charm on her bracelet.  Here are some picture's from a Dia del los muertos function that mom attended last year.  She is going to another one this weekend.

With much love, hugs & smoochies! XOXOXO
