Been busy preparing for Miss Thang #2 to arrive. As of last week, we were not prepared but now we are. I mean, mentally we were prepared but logistically? Not so much. I didn't even know where we stashed the car seat when we moved here in November! Now everything has been located and we're ready to roll. Her room is still dark blue but I'm going to have to save the painting for after she arrives. Luckily Architectural Digest is not planning a photo shoot here anytime soon.<br /><br />For those who need a firm date, the official due date is April 25. But of course, who knows when she'll show up. Could be tonight, could be 3 weeks from now.<br /><br />In other news, Josie G. is doing great! We've been talking about "Baby Sister" for a while and she's seeing (and helping with) all of the preparations. Tomorrow we're moving Josie's "baby bed" into Baby Sister's room and Josie is going to have to start sleeping in her "big girl bed" which is going to be much better. There's just not enough room in the baby bed for Josie, her 12 blankets (still calling them "monkeys"), panda bear, pink bear, birdie, duckie, bear head, and two big stacks of books <br /><br />The weather has been teasing us - giving us a nice day here and there and then getting cold again. Today was nice enough for Josie to do yard work so she and her assistant got outside, raked, spread mulch and put down seed.<br /><br />Check it out! <br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0UgsSwnkdP6Ju1lHeieE0rb0gZ-iNxE0P1vFHhTNs4g4SsO8HmiJ5Q35kckMvccH5hUKjjPCZX0_lGSIXaL3J088DU0Vduz2Oqcao3LQoqyReqZq1oWgLZgEF_EYKJhxYtuHkJJeRfNo/s1600/yard+1.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0UgsSwnkdP6Ju1lHeieE0rb0gZ-iNxE0P1vFHhTNs4g4SsO8HmiJ5Q35kckMvccH5hUKjjPCZX0_lGSIXaL3J088DU0Vduz2Oqcao3LQoqyReqZq1oWgLZgEF_EYKJhxYtuHkJJeRfNo/s400/yard+1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5593768244780179330" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyaPWlkUyrBwV9qwrdw16Otr08ekw-P7AvA17hN16PMLkCUKwPPunMv3EgpWrAw1xR2Ajs9OXmRXnQRTbAvswyPgL_4s6Iwm96DpDGuqj5YdmNIi4O2GlMg8etw1MsfZGopDumLwU9XpQ/s1600/yard+2.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 225px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyaPWlkUyrBwV9qwrdw16Otr08ekw-P7AvA17hN16PMLkCUKwPPunMv3EgpWrAw1xR2Ajs9OXmRXnQRTbAvswyPgL_4s6Iwm96DpDGuqj5YdmNIi4O2GlMg8etw1MsfZGopDumLwU9XpQ/s400/yard+2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5593768174840197458" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQ13lcLDeK75xAOLuJiV53T2sZjh6WcDb5x06ZQpMaEAbMBib2-FOQ9izidf3hELAnTDPbhJ974EWwJoZI2ZHYljrjJNO6iNCca-YtP_cKn1Aa4R2vBpu4h7u-5BTQHjJa_0soMAUAa6A/s1600/yard+3.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 225px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQ13lcLDeK75xAOLuJiV53T2sZjh6WcDb5x06ZQpMaEAbMBib2-FOQ9izidf3hELAnTDPbhJ974EWwJoZI2ZHYljrjJNO6iNCca-YtP_cKn1Aa4R2vBpu4h7u-5BTQHjJa_0soMAUAa6A/s400/yard+3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5593768092068732546" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSI5USsssrI8O1LInUy46rPJqyV9xBijaEDdgtEqHkbz4-a1EOT8_oWmxMIr_uRbqLAFRquHaiXGRNsldKLhbxBHZQdCmpcFt1oigGpNLAotU5FRswrKoS3dn-MhVKSGT5Dhyphenhyphenid9xeXtg/s1600/yard+4.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSI5USsssrI8O1LInUy46rPJqyV9xBijaEDdgtEqHkbz4-a1EOT8_oWmxMIr_uRbqLAFRquHaiXGRNsldKLhbxBHZQdCmpcFt1oigGpNLAotU5FRswrKoS3dn-MhVKSGT5Dhyphenhyphenid9xeXtg/s400/yard+4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5593768000466333474" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoLD79o1PeDqwmZ3U4ASiHCJHGONCZC11l29jRFErTlaxhVg5ORcSRFg9Otx1SbDiJwVMDD3e0CdQGd7YF65ORv5tYumoEMfoJaLYPpk5SNj7RF4ZflpCVy8inaeBZxc7nHeFCvHga80g/s1600/yard+5.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoLD79o1PeDqwmZ3U4ASiHCJHGONCZC11l29jRFErTlaxhVg5ORcSRFg9Otx1SbDiJwVMDD3e0CdQGd7YF65ORv5tYumoEMfoJaLYPpk5SNj7RF4ZflpCVy8inaeBZxc7nHeFCvHga80g/s400/yard+5.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5593767880777605986" border="0" /></a>Romeohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12868012595327983135noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5292540837643756320.post-71161983646819247252009-06-06T10:22:00.002-04:002009-06-06T10:24:55.024-04:00Romeo has moved sites!

As you can see maintaining a spotless supermodel body and fur coat are hard work for the average Tabby. Madison takes her grooming incredibly seriously as she must look purrfect at all times. You never know when <span style="font-style: italic;">In Style</span> or <span style="font-style: italic;">Vogue</span> are going to call and she is always ready for her next close up.<br /><br />However, as you can imagine nothing looks worse than a supermodel choking on yesterday’s hair. It just is not very ladylike and it makes you so embarrassed!<br /><br />Madison says, <span style="font-style: italic;">'I want the FURminator as that is the ultimate in grooming accessories and I would love to have my people use it on me every single day (when they are not fixing my dinner or scooping my box)</span>' "<br /><br />Thank you to EVERYONE who entered, donated money and supported the promotion of the contest.

Winners receive a FREE <a href="http://www.furminator.com/">FURminator DeShedding Tool</a> and will be featured here, on <a href="http://www.peoplepets.com/">www.PeoplePets.com</a> and on blogs across the Internet! <a href="http://www.romeothecat.com/2009/04/national-hairball-awareness-day-whos.html">Details on how to enter here. </a><br /><br />Now, onto the educational portion of today's post. With peak shedding season underway, we furry guys are in full swing when it comes to grooming ourselves, which means an increase in hairballs.<br /><br />FURminator has offered the following tips for preventing and caring for those nasty, ooky hairballs!<br /><br />1. Regular Grooming: Hairballs occur when cats over groom. To help cats look and feel their best, it’s essential to regularly brush them. <a href="http://www.furminator.com/">The FURminator deShedding Tool for Cats </a>is recommended by vets and nominated by Tufts University School of Veterinarian Medicine as the number one product to reduce hairballs in cats. Using the tool on a regular basis, as well as the FURminator deShedding Shampoo for Cats, will help reduce shedding, thus reducing the amount of hair your cat ingests.<br /><br />2. Home Remedies: Try adding a little butter and canned pumpkin to your cat’s meals once or twice a week. The butter may loosen the hair clod and the fiber in the pumpkin can help move it through the system.<br /><br />3. Stay Hydrated: Encourage your cat to drink plenty of water by placing various bowls throughout the house. The water will help flush out the hair before it has time to clump in the stomach.<br /><br />4. Consult Your Vet: If you believe you cat has chronic hairball problems, ask your veterinarian to recommend a laxative supplement to help prevent ingested hairs from forming hairballs.<br /><br />The photo above is me getting FURminated by my male staff member. This was just at the beginning of the process too! Hooray for hairball reduction!Romeohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12868012595327983135noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5292540837643756320.post-82663319364088124382009-04-22T14:40:00.000-04:002009-04-22T15:10:02.788-04:00National Hairball Awareness Day "Who's Your Favorite Furball?"

I knew it wasn’t.<br /><br />Real bug or not, we had lots and lots of fun jumping around, running through the house and playing with it. The staff couldn't stop laughing.
