- The bug that starred in yesterday's post was what Dad calls a "Water Bug" and Mom calls a "Crawler" but I wouldn't look on the Internet with those terms as I doubt either are correct. It was as big as a small toy mouse. {Mom Shudders} Mom has not been able to go the bathroom in the dark without turning on the light since. She doesn't hold the same fascination with bugs, but she is very thankful they only show up rarely.
- The gnats that plagued the house for months have finally been sent packing. Turns out they were hanging out in houseplant in the kitchen, and once Dad spotted them in there, and took it outside it was all done! Gnat Free At Last!
- A year ago Dad had Gamma Knife (Non-Invasive) brain surgery to fix Trigeminal Neuralgia (a very painful condition in his face) and other than a really horrible episode in the spring it has been successful in managing his pain. We are more thankful than we could ever express that Dad is okay!!! {could exclamation point for pages}
- We're thankful that Mom's Frecklectomies were all fine. The one on her flank (the one she whined the most about) had some abnormal cells and will have to be checked again in six months. I have long thought she has plenty of abnormal cells, if you know what I mean.
- The cord to download photos from the Pawparrazzi is missing {Wink} and it has really hampered the flow of photos. What Mom? Yes I understand this is Thankful Thursday. {Wink Again}.

Thankful Thursday
Well I thought I take this Thursday to show my gratitude, and answer some recent questions.

We're so happy to hear the dad is okay!! That sounds like a bad thing that he had. We're also glad the mom's frecklectomies were okay other than the one that has to be checked again, and send purrrrrs that nothing will be bad.
ReplyDeleteWhile we complain about all the photos being taken by the flashy box thing, we like seeing photos of our friends. So we hope your mom finds her cord (or just gets a card reader to use with the card in her flashy box thing ;) ). It's a tough line to walk.
We're thankful for our blogging friends, and that our Bugsy is getting the radiation treatments he needs! Be sure and come by our bloggie tomorrow (Thursday) to wish him, Sassy and Callie a happy birthday! :D
Purrs and hugs,
The Kitty Krew
We are thankful for our blogging furriends like you Fin. And we are thankful you didn't get eaten by the big ol' bug.
ReplyDeleteWe are also thankful for so much this week because like Bugsy, Sassy and Callie ,we too are celebrating 3 birthdays tomorrow! My mom, Ginger and Bennette. But most of all we are thankful that it has been one year since Grete's first elbow surgery and we are most grateful that she can now run and play and cause trouble like a youthful exuberant dog!
I'm not thankful about that cord being missing 'cos then I don't get gorgeous floofy Fin photos!
ReplyDeleteWe're thankful that we have blogging furiends like you, Fin, that we can visit everyday! And we're really thankful that your dad disposed of that mouse-size bug in the bathroom! It makes our mom shudder just to think about it and she never even saw it!!!
ReplyDeleteWe are glad to read that your Dad is doing better! That sounds really scary! We hopes that he stays well! And your mom too!
ReplyDeleteWe are thankful that we have a roof over our head.
What did you do with that camera cord Fin?

Fin, we're so relieved to hear about your daddy. Such a good development! And paws still crossed for your mommy. Humans are a delicate species, a cat has to look after them all the time.
ReplyDeleteHmm, are we gonna have to start up a fund to get you a new cord? Cause we need our Fin fix!!
ReplyDeleteThose are all great things to be thankful for!
ReplyDeleteSniffie and the Florida Furkids
Great things indeed! And tell us, Fin, did you have anything to do with the missing cord? Hmm.... ?
ReplyDeleteOur Mommy is such a sissy she got scared just reading about your bug. She is thankful she hasn't seen one in our bathroom. ~S,S,C & F
ReplyDeleteSo much to be thankful for.
ReplyDeleteCindy
Things are going well at your house! I'm sure mommy could order a replacement coushcord..but as soon as it arrives the other one will be found. Look under the couch.or in the dirty laundry.
ReplyDeleteWe're glad that your dad and your mom's freckles are OK, but yeah, we'd rather the cord be found so we can see pictures. We did a post about being thankful for sunshine after so MANY days of rain.
ReplyDeleteWe're thankful that yoo and your fambly are all fit and well ~ and hope you find the camera thingy soon :wink:
ReplyDeleteI am glad that your dad is better and that you have such a wonderful family. Lots to be thankful for.
ReplyDeleteI am thankful for my family, which isn't all that old. They let me stay with them when I came walking across their yard. Now I am a forever kitty living in the house.
Also, I am thankful that I am now blogging and meeting nice new friends.
That's a great list ...
ReplyDeleteWe are thankful for everything ..
I'm very thankful to have such a great sister, I love you so much! You make my life so much sweeter. Kisses Megger.
ReplyDeleteNow that was very nice indeed, and yes, you do have lots to be thankful for. We all do...ain't it the truth!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your dad is doing well after his surgery last year!
ReplyDeleteAnd in keeping with the bug theme, I am glad the tiny crazy ants have left my house.
I am glad that your dad is better also paws still crossed for your mom. W e know then you look for them all the time.I dont´like you eat this big bug.Hugs Wu
ReplyDeleteThat is great news about your Mommy And Dad! Bugs are not welcome here either...especially big black scary spiders!=^Y^=
ReplyDeleteIt's so good to learn that your beans are doing so well, Fin! Our Mom asked us to tell you that she's thankful that there are no grasshoppers or crickets at the beach. She did see a bee, though.
ReplyDeleteIt's great that your mom and dad are doing OK. It's especially good that you dad's pain is more manageable than it was. You have to take good care of them. Those are all good things to be thankful about.
ReplyDelete- TBH&K
Those are great things to be thankful for Fin (well, maybe not a gross bug). I am glad your dad and mom are ok. Tell your mom my dad used to get frecklectomies all the time (bald men should not garden without a hat) and they would always say they found weird cells and it was always ok - I hope that is how it is for your mom.
ReplyDeleteWe are thankful that we have wonderful blog friends who post lots of funny stuff (man those letters you post get me every time) and that there are so many wonderful cat owners out there who really love to help animals! And of course for our wonderful homes too!
Hey--I bet it was one of those 8ft Texas size 'water bugs' that show up in our house. Tommy is scared of em. Me--well, I watch the others bat it around... :) Glad everyone is safe now!
