disruption in my garden

There was a big upheaval in my garden yesterday. My shed was taken away! My grandparents, mummy and other mummy took it to pieces bit by bit and it went away in a big blue car. It was very noisy and disturbed my rest. I wanted to lie on the shed and sunbathe, but now it has gone!

There are lots of things in the house that shouldn't be there at the moment, mummy says that my new shed will be here in a couple of weeks though.

the sky is crying

The sky has been crying all day again! Mummy came home early from work because all the trains had been cancelled. she had to get a bus from Bradford and it took her over two hours! It is she says, like the time I went to the vet to get my teeth done and she and other mummy drove for hours in the yellow thing with me in the back crying with a sore throat!

The beck flooded again this morningi and they are worried that it might flood again tonight. Maybe we will get evacuated like when it was the war!

Here are a couple of pictures of hwat it was like in June when it flooded.

Firstly, here is a picture of Plumpton Road where I go to get food sometimes.

Secondly, this is the road where other mummy lifes. As you can see, she couldn't get in or out!

confusion

Dear readers,
I am very sorry that I have not been able to blog recently. there is a very interesting reason why not. Mummy used to keep the computer in other mummy's bedroom, it was a big thing with a big keyboard and I knew how to use it. However, in the post Christmas sale, she put this computer in the garden! She said it was old broken and useless. In its place, she has bought a brand new smaller computer. I don't understand this machine, apparently it is something called a laptop and it is very technologically advanced and difficult to use! I have only just now plucked up the courage to use it.

Mummy says it is fantastic as it enables her to sit on the sofa and use the internet instead of locking herself away upstairs. This means that I can sit on the back of the sofa and look over her shoulder at what she is doing and then if she is not looking, take the opportunity to use it. Let's face it, she won't be looking often because she is blind so this could become a great advantage!

I hope you all had a good christmas and that my friends will come back to my blog soon.

Best wishes and happy new year

Paddy

festive thoughts

At this time of year, Christmas, my mum says it should snow so it feels festive. I would like it to snow thenI could hide in the snow like this cat here. it looks fun. As I have a lot of white on me I could hide very easily.

At Christmas it is also strange beause the trees which are usually outside come inside and they are decoratd with lots of lights and flashing sparkly things. pixie likes this as it issomething for her to tap, chase, climb and try to eat.

We are going to the cattery on Sunday to celebrate Christmas with all the other cats. We will get presents and nice food and may even be allowed to wear festive and funny hats like this

Merry christmas to all my friends, Biggles, Molly #denny oscar lola and Pixie. Also to Louie down south and Shadow and Leo's former mum in Canada, to monty an dMonty's mummy and old tarf.

much better thanks

To all my nice friends, I just wanted to say thank you for your concern about my health. i am much better now thank you and my apetite is back to normal. I showed blind mummy that I was better by bringing her a dead mouse at 4 in the morning as a way of thanking her for looking after me when I was feeling ill! She didn't appreciate it....I really don't understand why!

You may have read from Oscar's blog that Denny was ill too last week, he had an explosion out of his bottom and had to spena a night in hospital. I don't think I have told you about the time I had a very bad tummy bug that went on for three months. I had bottom explosions all the time, but that, as my friend Biggles would say "is private"! I remember that mummy was very worried about me and took me to the vets lots. She said that the house smelled all the time and even though I couldn'thelp it, she wished I would not have accidents all over the computer leads and plug sockets!

Fortunately, my constitution sems to have improved dramatically since then...just as well really, now that I have my two sisters to look after. Anyway, I digress!

I har from Denny that we now have new vets who live just along the end of th road...this will mean that we won't have to go in the yellow hting any more unless it is an emergency at night and we have to go to Dewsbury like Denny. Dennysays that the new vets are very nice.

I wonder if mummy will have to go to the vets soon. Although her bump on her head is mow better, thank you Biggles ofr aksing, she had another accident on Thursday. She said she fell down a flight of steps in a place called Bradford station and landed on her back, her bottom and her side. She is walking funny at the momnt and said she is very aching and bruised. What is it with these parents hwo keep having accidents? I think she has been learning lessons from Oscar's mummyu who is always having accidents. Maybe that is what happens when p[arents get old?

It was very scary last weekend, well Pixie and lola were scared, as there were lots of bangs and flashes in the sky. Pixie hid under the sofa and shook lots and other mummy had to come and check on her because blind mummy wen out with London auntie who cme to visit. I didn't mind the bangs really, well, there ws food around so I had to make the most of Pixie and lola not being there to eat their food. I had three bowls, it was lovely!

I also want to say hello to my friend in Canada old Tarf, he is mummy's friend's daddy, grandfther to Monty who stayed in my house one night once. Blind mummy also says hello to old tarf.

oh, just one more thing, to remind you. on Tuesday, 13th Novebmer it is the first birthday of my blog, so happybirthday to Paddy's blog!

sung in the tune from the theme from Joseph and his amazing technicolour dream coat

"poor poor paddy,
what you going to do?
things look bad for you,
so, what you going to do"

Hello, well I am feeling a little under the weather at the moment. I have been a little off colour since saturday night/sunday morning. I have been lethargic, slept on the armchair and have not moved at all and have refused my last three meals.....even pouches. I have also been a little warm to the touch.

Mummy and other mummy who is also poorly thinks it is with a thyroid or something but waiting for blood tests, took me to the vet last night. I did not like it at all, which is not like me. I was grumpy and floppy on the vet table and i growled at him when he touched me and stuck the thermometur mp my bottom.

The diagnosis of my current malady is a temperature of 1.5 degrees above the norm and therefore perhaps a little infecton. He gave me two injections and sent me home.

I think I am feeling a little bit better today although I have been asleep all day again. Pixie liked eating my food, she had hers, mine and Lola's too and did a big sick onher food mat. Sh eis a little more ladylike than Molly oscar and Denny though as she didnot try to eat it.

blogger's block

I have not blogged for a while as mummy has been away so access to the computer has been limited. Since she has been back though I have simply been far too tired and busy. I have spent most of the week sleeping, stretching, eating and being beautiful.

It has been nice having my Oscar come to visit through the flap, but I am not impressed that he came and finished off all 3 bowls of food.....that is my job! Molly also came to visit but she did not use the flap, she came in through the door. We played on the stairs for a bit and then she hissed at me so I punched her!
