They especially enjoyed meeting you and welcoming you to TDK !!! We'll have to have another party soon, Velvet's birthday is in 5 days !!! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/7469/page/3#post-195519 Sun, 06 Jul 2008 11:02:43 +0000 miu 195519@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>{Hugs} to Gem and NNGM! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/7469/page/3#post-195189 Sat, 05 Jul 2008 16:57:25 +0000 NNGM 195189@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Gem wants to thank everyone for coming to her party. It made her feel very welcome and special in her new home. We have some very nice people who live just down the street and they have a nice place for the pony to live - they have horses too! Gem and the girls will be able to visit the pony whenever they want. I'm glad the pony won't have to live out on the deck LOL. (Guess where the girls are right now?)</p> <p>Gem loves all of her presents. Some of the fireflies got away, but Mommy says that she knows how to get some more. All of the girls slept in for a long time this morning - they are getting a little older, you know. They have decided that they really like these TDK parties. Thank you all again! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/7469/page/3#post-195088 Sat, 05 Jul 2008 11:08:56 +0000 WillowandWindismom 195088@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Willow and Windi slept very late this morning, having been out past their normal bedtime to watch the beautiful fireworks. Since breakfast, they have not been able to stop talking about Gem's birthday party.</p> <p>Willow looks forlornly around the backyard and wails *Can we go for a boat ride?* WWM sighs, and explains yet again that we live in the desert and the only water around comes out of the end of the garden hose.</p> <p>Windi looks at mama and softly suggests *If we had a pony, maybe you and Daddy wouldn't have to mow the grass so much*. She smiles her crooked little smile which always makes mama reach down and kiss her.</p> <p>WWM has to explain to the girls that we live inside the city limits and the neighbors might not enjoy having a pony next door.</p> <p>The Girls look very disappointed, but they run over to the worm hole and cry...</p> <p>"Happy Birthday, Gem!!! And thank you for inviting us to the wonderful party, Nora! It was an absolutely purrfect July 4th!!" </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/7469/page/3#post-194959 Fri, 04 Jul 2008 18:43:37 +0000 CSBM 194959@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Velvet and Andy go "hear, hear"with their beverages. After the cookout, Andy came over to Velvet's lap and settled down for a short nap. She looked over to Bog and Clark, who smiled and nodded and said "Andy has never had a real mom, it's wonderful to see him like this with you" Velvet said "And I've never had a baby of my own, but it look like I have a nephew, at least for the evening. He may call me Auntie Velvet any time, not just today, can he stay with me the rest of the evening ? I'll make sure he is safe and sound at all times..." Clark and Bob nod "yes" and then pull out a wee blanket for Andy. "He may be more comfortable with this..."<br /> She and Andy and his blankie head to the beach for the fireworks. As she walks, she starts singing a quiet melody. Andy smiles in his sleep... </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/7469/page/3#post-194951 Fri, 04 Jul 2008 18:35:24 +0000 NNGM 194951@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Thank you, Willow and Windi, for reminding us of this important day. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/7469/page/3#post-194946 Fri, 04 Jul 2008 18:28:41 +0000 WillowandWindismom 194946@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Willow and Windi are so comfy on a blanket watching the fireflies and waiting for the fireworks. But, all of a sudden they remember something VERY important.</p> <p>Windi rushes around to make sure that the glasses of all of the kits are full. Once that is done she looks to her sister, who goes to the front of the group and says..</p> <p>*Please raise your glasses in a toast to our great country and in celebration in the birth of America. And please, raise your glasses a second time in toast to our troops who keep us safe. God Bless America, and may God Bless our Troops!* </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/7469/page/3#post-194941 Fri, 04 Jul 2008 18:17:22 +0000 NNGM 194941@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>The sun is going down, time to head off to watch the fireworks. We have plenty of blankets to sit on at the beach. There are sparklers for all the kitties if they want them. If we all sit together maybe the young kitties won't be scared. When we come back we will have a beach bonfire and roast marshmellows and make s'mores. I think the fireflies are starting to glow! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/7469/page/2#post-194939 Fri, 04 Jul 2008 18:08:47 +0000 CSBM 194939@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>"All the kitties have little ice cream and icing mustaches." and Cheri has a digital picture of it... </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/7469/page/2#post-194936 Fri, 04 Jul 2008 17:46:29 +0000 cricketsmama 194936@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>The entire table claps as Gem blows out the candles. She slices the cake and hands all her friends some cake and ice cream. All the kitties have little ice cream and icing mustaches. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/7469/page/2#post-194928 Fri, 04 Jul 2008 17:25:31 +0000 NNGM 194928@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Don't forget to have some cake and ice cream! Gem is a little embarrased at how many candles there are. She can still blow them all out though! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/7469/page/2#post-194920 Fri, 04 Jul 2008 17:05:34 +0000 cricketsmama 194920@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Cricket rises and says a toast to Gem's meowmy. "Thank you Gem's meowmy for taking in Gem and giving her a loving, furever home. She is a part of our family now and so glad we met her. Here is to Gem and her meowmy!!!" </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/7469/page/2#post-194917 Fri, 04 Jul 2008 16:53:02 +0000 NNGM 194917@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Gem is so happy.

She says "start off small. you don't want to get bloated and then become sick, you can always go back for more." He actually understands and obeys her !!! What a smart kitten !!! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/7469/page/2#post-194891 Fri, 04 Jul 2008 15:50:44 +0000 cricketsmama 194891@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Fred takes Misu's paw and Gem's paw and leads them to the table so they can partake in all the yummy food. He pulls out the chairs for both the ladies and making sure Gem is at the head of the table. He sits between them both and thinks he is the luckiest kitty in the world.<br /> Cricket and Clark make their way to the table to eat as well. Cricket waves over all the kitties "let's eat!" </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/7469/page/2#post-194890 Fri, 04 Jul 2008 15:44:05 +0000 NNGM 194890@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>The grills are fired up!

His brothers don't. They tell him that he's just baby and doesn't know anything.. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/7469/page/2#post-194888 Fri, 04 Jul 2008 15:40:46 +0000 CSBM 194888@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Velvet has decided she really doesn't need a ride on the pony. But she is willing to go walking with Andy as long as he holds her paw. They start walking in the direction of the maypole and the food tables. Andy jabbers away... </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/7469/page/2#post-194887 Fri, 04 Jul 2008 15:35:21 +0000 BCAMflorida227 194887@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Adny blushes and grabs Velvet's paw.

Windi looks down at her sister and wails,</p> <p>*I wish that Ruggles and Rotley were here to see how brave I am!* She just has time to wipe her nose before the pony takes off.</p> <p>*Yee-Haw!!* yells Willow, in a voice that she hopes will bolster her sister's confidence. Knowing Windi, Willow covers her eyes to avoid watching the inevitable...... </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/7469/page/2#post-194879 Fri, 04 Jul 2008 15:12:44 +0000 BCAMflorida227 194879@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Clark nuzzles Cricket back.

Mommy says yes! Mommy will lead the pony around so that it doesn't go too fast. Nora wants everyone to know that the pony is very strong and can hold even the big kitties (she was little worried about this). Who would like a ride? </p>
