We gots a real 'ramic squillion! Meet Oliver, named for da kitty dat lives ahind us and who Sadie and I stare at thru the window. He's a furry good boy and seems to get along well wif all of us. I like sitting on the coffee table wif him and watching dad sleep. We make fun of da noyzes dad makes when he's napping. Mom akshooally gots him last week but waited until Sadies purrthday on Monday to introduce him to us. Here we are just alaxing on da big bed where I spend most of my time. I really like 'ramic Oliver! ~Zippy
This is me and Speedy on my birthday morning. I woke up and founded 'ramic Oliver sleeping on my bed wif me. As yoo can see, Speedy wuz as snoopy as ever. Oliver is a nice kitty, he didn't even try to steel my sleepy pillow. It wuz a furry good purrthday, I napped, ate, played wif Speedy all day while mom was at work. Den she camed home early and made chicken and cheeze ravioli (one of my favorite treets) and den my bean boyfrend Jeff (mom's cuzin) camed over and HE BRAWT ME A THREE HUNDRED ELEVENTY POUND BAG OF HOME MADE CHEDDAR CHEEZE TREETS! Oh, and a new 'mink' cat bed too, but Zippy stole dat rite off da bat. He also brawt a nice framed piksher of my son, who he 'dopted, but he's gotten so big I din't rekognize him. So, dat wuz my purrthday. It wuz nice, I gots treats, treats and more treats. And I got to play wif Jeff! Did I menshun dat Jeff is my bean boyfrend? He loves me and I love him, he's da only bean dat hazent ever lived here dat I let touch me, and it's not just a'cuz he makes us treats. ~Sadie
Here Oliver and I are watching, and talking about, da naybors. Dey were outside wif der woofie and I just wanted to make sher dat Oliver din't get scared. I'm a good big brofur dat way. Den, to show mom how happy I am dat she's gonna be home wif us I threw myself down in da middle of all da paper she was sorting and did kyoot faces fur her. She's finally getting around to cleaning out da files, she sez dey reely don't need to keep all this stuff so she's been burning up da shredder. 
Dad is reely happy wif da desishun to let mom quit! He sez it's wonderful to come home and haf her here insted of waiting and waiting fur her. See, he duzent cook and sammiches get old reel fast. And since he reely hates (and ushually won't do) howse work he duzent hafta do anything about cleen undies and sox fur work or nuffing. And he reely, reely likes mom when she's happier and not stressed. Dey been doing goofy stuff again like dancing in da kitchen and dad sings her awake in da morning like he useta! Momma loves it when he sings to her, she gets all goofy and giggly and melty! And dey has been married for 31 years and haf known each other for 37 so yoo see what I meen when I say dey iz weerd beans...
