After Gracie's test/feed/shoot this morning, I received a pm from Susan that Tiberious had crossed the Rainbow Bridge......and I haven't been able to get my day going for thinking of Susan and Kevin and sweet, handsome Tiberious. What loving beans he had and Mike, Teddi, Gus, Gracie, Tobey, and I wish him a safe journey lit by wonderful candles to join his GA brothers and sisters and we send all the sympathy our hearts hold to Susan and Kevin.

Congrats today to Mr. Howell...OTJ!!!

Gracie is doing lovely today although in a bounce. She decided that "yesterday" she liked the .75u dose. I think her numbers probably would have stayed down lower last night if it weren't for possibly some delayed vetty stress but who knows. ...at least I know what she CAN do on this dose. Our darling itty bitty girl has a very petite and feminine meow to go with her little self. Scottish Folds are known for being quiet (uh....they forgot to tell Gus). But when she thinks I'm gone or doesn't know where I am, she can have this bottom of the gut, full-mouth open bellow :lol: :lol: :lol: I was in the office last night and heard her do this and so walked down the hall to check on her; she was on the counter and ever so demurely looked at me and gave me one of her normal, tiny, barely open-the-mouth "mews". So I went back to the office. Another bellow. Back down the hall to check on her and she was looking around as if to say "not me making that horrid noise" and gave me a little purr/chirp. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: I know it was her...lil stinka.

I hope all of you who are in the storm's path are safe and have evacuated safely or are weather-proofed. My stepson, Jason (who is like my son as I have been his "mildly wicked stepmother" as he calls me since he was 3) lives in NYC but was in Virginia with a friend and so I thought he was safe and sound. I texted him this morning and he went back to the City a couple days ago and now I am nailbite_smile nailbite_smile nailbite_smile about him. He said he has lots of food and water and has taped the windows in the high-rise apt he lives in....but I'm still concerned as is Mike. Speaking of whom, Mike was supposed to be in Philly tonight and tomorrow night and they have rerouted him to Chicago where he will sit until Monday morning in the hopes of getting into Philly to get delayed passengers out.

I have things I need to get done but since Gracie is high, I'm wondering if I should go see "The Help" and get an early dinner out. Might do me some good and get me out as Mike is on a 4-day trip. So...off to visit condos and then maybe go out for a bit. Have a good day!

taped his windows? high rise in NY? yikes - i'm with ya, oh mildly-wicked-stepmother! :lol: (hard to think of you as being mildly wicked!) i'll be glad when this storm has passed. talked to my brother in virginia and he says they are inland far enough to not really be in danger, but still. crazy, crazy weather.

going out sounds like a great plan for maintaining sanity! looks like gracie is going to let you sleep tonight - maybe . . .

Re: 8/27 Gracie AMPS 342 +2 284 +4 283

I hope your stepson is okay. I can understand why you're worried, as they were all ordered to evacuate, but some have stayed. I hope all will be okay. I'll keep him in my prayers. All my relatives on the east coast are okay. I had one niece in NC, but she's far enough inland. I didn't know Scottish Folds were quiet. I pictured Gracie as a talker, but she does a lot of talking with that cute face and the expressions. So cute with the quiet meow. I hope this dose holds for little Gracie.

Re: 8/27 Gracie AMPS 342 +2 284 +4 283

Great to see that this dose is finally acceptable to her Highness. :lol:

I vote for the movie, just so I won't be the only one to accomplish nothing today! :lol: I'm sure Jason will be fine, it sounds like he has taken precautions.

Re: 8/27 Gracie AMPS 342 +2 284 +4 283

I hope you find a way to enjoy your day and not stress out too much. It is going to be a wicked storm...

Gracie did have a lovely day yesterday and I am sorry to see she is still in LTS. Gracie ...I think you really are ready to graduate.

Re: 8/27 Gracie AMPS 342 +2 284 +4 283 +10 229

Hi Ya'll.....I did run out to the movie. Saw "The Help"....bawled my eyes out. What a GREAT movie and I'm glad I read the book first. I've got to give squids to Gus and Teddi but will be back later to respond to your posts! Gracie is sliding down........

Re: 8/27 Gracie AMPS 342 +2 284 +4 283 +10 229

Glad you enjoyed the flick! I read the book, but I'm not so sure I want to see the movie, even though I've heard great reviews.

I've got your stepson in my thoughts. I'm still hoping that the media is overhyping this thing. Yes, it's a really bad storm...but hopefully not as bad as they are saying.

Have a great night!!

Re: 8/27 Gracie AMPS 342 +2 284 +4 283 +10 229

Looks like the girls are still sticking together! Be nice now Gracie, easy does it.

Re: 8/27 Gracie AMPS 342 +2 284 +4 283 +10 229

what a nice condo. I love the Gracie bellows story. too funny! now who has who trained? :lol: :lol:

I do hope all is well with Jason. Try not to worry. But I know you will anyways. It seems so odd to think about how all the transit subways etc are shut down, and not just in NY. That has got to be a first.

Nice cycle yesterday for Gracie - looks like maybe this time she will do OK with the dose, right Gracie? paws crossed. Nice to see her coming down today.

Have nice evening tonight. Maybe Gracie will give you the night off.

Re: 8/27 Gracie AMPS 342 +2 284 +4 283 +10 229

Gracie?!?! Meows like that??? Now who woulda thunk that? :lol:

I've gotta say i haven't heard much about the storm other than what i've been reading in LL, i hope your stepson stays safe and all is well over on the east coast. Try not to worry too much......k?

Have a wonderful evening Gracie and Marje.

Re: 8/27 Gracie PMPS 223

That turned out to be longer than I thought but by the time I got the squids done, I decided to check on Jason, have dinner, then it was Gracie time and then I got caught up in my book reading out on the catio!

Julie: yes I am worried about the kid but he's 30 years old so I guess I shouldn't worry so much. He filled the bathtub and all the sinks so he's thinking!!! It's our special joke that he calls me his "mildly wicked stepmother"....he has such an awesome sense of humor that he got from his dad. He also likes to call me "the Divine Miss M". Love that kid. Glad your brudder is fine in VA.

Ann: Yes...Scottish Folds are fairly quiet. Teddi, Gracie, and even Tobey have little meows but Gracie probably talks less than any of them. Gus....he has all kinds of meows...most of them sounding as if he is inconsolable!!Glad all your relatives are ok.

Ann: I'll have to check out Tess tonight. I was surprised Gracie had dropped while I was out. Maybe I should go out more often ;-) ;-)

Beth: Yes....still in LTS. Attie needs to talk to her!!

Amy: I hope you will go....it was such a great movie. Thanks for keeping Jason in your thoughts. Mike said he agrees with you....media overhyping.

Michelle: And who would ever doubt that Gracie has ALWAYS had me trained :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Yes...I can't imagine NYC being dead quiet...no one moving. Well...she mostly gave me the night off last night so I hope she gets back to business soon and continues to like this dose.

Tracy: yes....I know...kind of like seeing a gentile little lady letting loose with a huge belch :lol: :lol: :lol:

Re: 8/27 Gracie PMPS 223

That's great Gracie is liking her dose!

Sorry mike is stuck in Chicago. I was supposed to be flying through Philly tonight and rebooked my travel for tomorrow through San Fran. I saw the plane to Germany did leave Philly at 8, must have been the last one out before shut down! I am glad I wasn't on it.

Liz takes over for me tomorrow!
