Sorry for the Lack of Posts

We're sorry for the lack of posts.  Honestly, we didn't think it had been that long since we had posted, but obviously all of the continuous kitty shrieking had us a bit confused.  He's been totally awful, as I'm sure all of you know.  We went to that giant yard sale, and had a truly wonderful time, finding a giant pile of quilting magazines and patterns.  We just hope no one suffered permenant hearing damage as a result of the ensuing shrieks.  Goodness knows we feared that we would with our lovely big ears.  We spent two days attending an open house at the fabric store as well, encouraging people to sign up for stitching classes.  We kind of went to the open house early too.  Sorry about that.  We do hope you wanted to get up bright and early last weekend.  We got a lovely supply of new fabric at a deep discount while we were at this event and already have it all cut up for some new projects which Brother is as you can imagine ticked about.  Then we went out today and used some fabulous coupons at the fabric store to obtain more fabric, a new cutting mat for our planned class, a pressing mat and a template to make a wedding quilt.  The human has two cousins getting married soon, and we're sure we can put that to good use but Brother wasn't pleased at all.  Oh, and we let three new bears and a new monkey move in, bringing the sibling count to 956.

Giant Yard Sale

Please protect your ears now, because much shrieking is anticipated come tomorrow.  We are planning to hop out to that giant yard sale bright and early in the morning, and we are anticipating a kitty fit as a result.  We're very sorry about that and we hope the shrieking doesn't waken anyone to early.  You might want to protect your ears tonight, just in case you don't want an early wake-up call since we're hoping to leave early in search of lovely deals.

Really, Really Sorry

We're very sorry for the shouts today.  While we were at the giant yard sale we met the nicest bear and invited him to move in, bringing the sibling total to 857.  Brother was not happy about that little piece of news.  Not happy at all.  Anyway, the new bear got wet while at the sale, and now he is lounging on the dryer hoping the heat will help dry his fur, and that he can avoid the rigors of a bear bath and all it involves.  Poor wet bear.  Really, we had to let him move in!

Stuff Your Ears

We suggest all of you stuff your ears now.  We have high hopes for hopping to that giant yard sale tomorrow, and a ton of loud kitty complaints are anticipated.  Really, we don't know why Brother continues to object so.  It isn't like his shouts have prevented us from going to the sale before.

Giant Yard Sale

The giant yard sale is this week and we're very eager to attend.  Besides hoping to find seeds and sewing merchandise, there are always kitties at this event.  Perhaps we will meet a nice one who will want to move in with us.  And wouldn't that serve that horrible, awful Brother right if we allowed another kitty in to replace him?

Tomorrow

Just a short post tonight, as we're hoping to hop to that giant yard sale tomorrow, and the human must go to bed shortly to be ready for it.  We do hope we can attend.  It is always so much fun, and we're hoping that Brother might be lurking there, hoping we won't spot him.  We wouldn't put it past that kitten!

Can't Believe It

We can't believe this.  We were all packed and everything.  The humans were eagerly anticipating a nice yard sale adventure and a hotel stay and so were we, only to learn when we got to the sight of the giant sale that the date we found was wrong, and the sale is NEXT WEEK!  So now we have to go back in a few days!  Well, we hope Brother doesn't think this means he has escaped us.  It just means we will have longer to get better nets!

Giant Yard Sale

We're hopping to the giant yard sale tomorrow and we're so excited!  We've got our nets all ready in case we spot Brother too.  We hope we do, so we can net him and drag him home where he belongs.  Just got to finish getting the human's books straightened out and then it is off to bed to rest up for shopping!

Yard Sale Preparations

We're getting our bags all packed for the trip to the giant yard sale, but we are wondering something.  What if Brother is hiding there?  Should we back his cage in case we spot him or should be just go with strong nets instead?  Nets might be more portable.

Decided to Stay Home

We decided to stay home after all.  The humans were going to get a late start if they went to the country so we agreed that staying here would be best.  And on the up side, it will give us more time to prepare for hopping to that giant yard sale over the weekend.  You know, we've heard that sometimes kitties attend such events.  Do you think there's a chance that Brother might be there?  It's really big, after all.  Maybe he would think it's long enough that we would fail to spot him!

More About the Giant Sale

The human seems to think our plan for a weekend trip to that giant sale is an excellent idea!  We knew she would approve.  We just have to pick a cozy hotel now.  Won't that annoy Brother so much but with how he deserted us he has NO right to complain!

Giant Yard Sale

We think that giant yard sale is coming up soon too.  We always love attending that, and Brother always rants about it.  And unless he pops up soon, and thus gives the humans a reason to stay at home, we think we might make the sale a weekend trip!  Just think of all of the potential new friends we could meet!

Sale was Great!

The sale was great, and we really hope the kitty shrieks didn't annoy anyone too much.  Oh, Brother is in trouble this time.    The nicest organization devoted to kitties and pups was taking part in the sale this year, and we bought over twenty yards of lovely, lovely fabric from them.  Needless to say, they were very happy with our visit, and quite agreed with us that Brother is a naughty kitten who deserves to be punished for deserting such lovely siblings.  All of the other kitties who were there agreed, and even some dogs who had dropped by to check out the selection of canine clothing.  So lovely to see so many agreeing with us.  Brother is naturally pitching a fit over the fabric, and even is threatening to see the Amish in court after they sold us a yard of thirties reproduction fabric.  Really, what does he expect to claim as damages, their horse and buggy?  He ought to be ashamed of himself, raising such a fuss after we had such a lovely, lovely day.

Sale Will Soon Be Here

Just one more day and a few hours until we get to head to that lovely, lovely, giant sale!  We're hard at work, packing shopping essentials, and we're very much afraid that Betsy is hard at work packing all of her snitching sacks.  We're trying to ignore her, though, going on the theory that if we don't pay attention to her antics, it might discourage her a bit.  We can only hope so.  We really don't want to face the commotion that bear can cause while we are trying to shop for sewing and seed bargains!

List

We think we need to write out a list of things to look for when we go to that giant sale this weekend so we don't get sidetracked and miss needed items.  We do worry that Betsy will get hold of the list, though, will add massive amounts of cookies and honey, and will trick some of the younger bunnies into possibly assisting her with snitching.  We wouldn't put taking advantage of baby bunnies past her.  We have lovely news on our Brother hunt too.  We gave the human's doctor our cell number so he can text us pictures of Brother and the kitties he is living with.  We can't wait to see those and pick out our new sibling!

Giant Yard Sale

The giant yard sale that alarmed Brother so is scheduled for next week, and we are so looking forward to it.  There are always lots of nice seed and quilting things available there, and this year the human might arrange for us to meet with a friend of the Grandhuman's to test one of those lovely, lovely cutting machines.  We might even try to get get a hotel so we can stay all NIGHT this year!  Wouldn't that be fun?

Alibi!

If anyone asks, I was here all day. I was right here, and thus can't be held accountable for anything that might have happened at that giant yard sale. It's almost too horrible to write, and I am expecting the law to arrive at any moment to take that horrible, awful bear into custody. Every year, Betsy amuses herself at this sale, robbing the senior citizens of all of their goodies while the human is looking at the book sale they always have, and then that bear hits the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Well, this year both groups were missing! MISSING! And I'm sure their vanishing act is due to Betsy Bear's antics. Oh, the law will be here soon for sure. How long do you think that Betsy will get for driving those poor, poor people back to some foreign war in hopes of escaping her?

Tomorrow

The human is wanting to go to a yard sale tomorrow. Needless to say, I am concerned it might be that big one she enjoys visiting so. I just saw Betsy Bear trotting by with her extra snitching sacks in case it is. Really, I don't know why those people keep trying to sell stuff at these events. I'm sure they can't make a profit with that bear running loose. I just hope they thought to double their insurance this year while they still have time.

More Yard Sale Issues

Oh, I forgot to share the other disastrous news that resulted from the human attending that yard sale yesterday. I church was taking part, and for some reason, a bunny was loitering around their booth. Naturally, when my human came trotting up to check out the merchandise, the rabbit threw herself on the human, declared she was a poor, homeless creature and begged to be adopted right away. And the human fell for it, of course. The rabbit is here right now, lounging in the living room, making plans for a long soak in the tub, and then a bit of gardening. I am up to 648 siblings. And this one will probably want to get her picture taken too!

Giant Yard Sale Disaster

The human limped off to that horrible, giant yard sale today, and naturally a couple of rabbits, one of the polar bear cubs and Betsy went along with her. She wasn't able to go to very many sales, but the ones she did choose to hit ought to be illegal. She trotted by the lady who has the nerve to offer various seed for sale every year. I think you can safely guess what happened there, with rabbits on the loose. And then there were the poor senior citizens, the American Legion and those Veterans of Foreign Wars. I don't know why those people never learn. They were selling food again this year for some insane reason, or they were before Betsy dropped by. I just hope they are insured, especially the seniors. They were being very foolish this year, and offered a large supply of cotton fabric for sale as well. I think you can guess what happened with that. The cub came trotting back with his paws full! And then, to make matters worse, the bunnies picked up a little something for me! A cat harness, so they can drag me everywhere by a leash!
