Pesky No More

Wake UP UP UP,
BABY Kitty!

There's
Super Duper news
just for you!



Are you ready to hear the
Super Duper news,
BABY Kitty?

You get to say
 GOOD-BYE
to the
PESKY protective collar,
BABY Kitty!

"OOOHHHH!  That is
Super Duper news!"

"It was TEN long
days,
Miss Dilly Bean!" 

And so the PESKY
collar came off-

(even though the
BABY Kitty has
a little swelling
on her
tummy tum tum)

and...

the BABY Kitty
could now
properly play
with all
her
Super Duper friends
including
Little Lobster.


Hoping you wake up
to
Super Duper news too.

Happy Heart Day

Happy Heart Day
 is just around
the corner,
 but Miss Dilly Bean
had a
Happy Heart Day last week
when
Mr. Dilly Bean
helped her do something
she usually does ALONE.
(And
gets
TIRED TIRED TIRED
 of doing...)

Grocery Shopping!

So Miss Dilly Bean was
SO HAPPY
when Mr. Dilly Bean
helped her
PUSH the cart,
 LOAD the groceries,
UNLOAD the groceries,
PUT the groceries away,
and then figure out
what to COOK with
the groceries...

and then do it ALL over
again in just a few days.

(Little Groceries,
Miss Dilly Bean
does not mean
to hurt your feelings,
but you really
are a LOT
of work.)


Hoping you have a
Happy Heart Day too.


Miss Dilly Bean

Countdown Time

Good News, BABY Kitty!

In less than 24 Hours
you will hopefully
be stitch-free
which means...

you can say
GOOD-BYE
to the
PESKY PESKY PESKY
protective collar.

Keep your paws crossed,
BABY Kitty!


Hoping you
get to say
good-bye to
something pesky too.


Miss Dilly Bean

Professional Snoozer

 

 

Unlike Maizie the Peke
who POPS to
attention if she
thinks she might
be left out of
ANYTHING,
Rosie the Peke
is a... 

 

Professional Snoozer!

Rosie the Peke is an
EXPERT
at
SNOOZING SNOOZING SNOOZING.

"But Miss Dilly Bean,
you said that to get better at
something, you need to
PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE."

(Miss Dilly Bean thinks
Rosie the Peke has had
 enough practice.)

Hoping you get
some
professional
snoozing time too.


Miss Dilly Bean 

Go Away Little Collar

Behind this
pesky, protective collar
sits
one
BABY Kitty
who is
getting
a wee bit...

TIRED...

FRUSTRATED...

ANNOYED...

IMPATIENT...

And nearly HYSTERICAL...
at having to wear
this
pesky, protective collar!

"I can't hold out
much longer,
Miss Dilly Bean!"

(Please be patient,
BABY Kitty.  The pesky,
protective collar
is keeping your stitches
SAFE SAFE SAFE.)


Hoping you aren't feeling
too hysterical either.


Miss Dilly Bean

Snuggle Buddies Part Four

Even with her pesky
protective collar on,
the BABY Kitty still found
a way to cuddle up
with her
SUPER DUPER DEAR
snuggle buddy,
Maizie the Peke.

And like a good
snuggle buddy,
Maizie the Peke
did
NOT NOT NOT
say anything about
the silly collar
that might
hurt the
BABY Kitty's feelings.


Hoping your
snuggle buddy
is
super duper dear
too.


Miss Dilly Bean

 

A Groggy BABY Kitty

Oh Little Reader,
the BABY Kitty
went to the vet
last week
to get spayed.
(sniffle, sniffle...)

How could it be
time for that
already?

The BABY Kitty is
just a
BABY!!!

(But Miss Dilly Bean
had already cancelled the
appointment once so
she mustered up all
her courage and took
the BABY Kitty.)

The BABY Kitty
came home
GROGGY GROGGY GROGGY.
(See first little photo.)

But by Day Three
was
back to her
old BABY Kitty self.

However, the
BABY Kitty is
not digging
the
protective collar.


Hoping if
you've been
groggy, you're
back to your
old self too.


Miss Dilly Bean
 

This One Is Just Right

The BABY Kitty
found two
LITTLE cuddle beds
fresh from the
wishy washer
and
tumbly dryer
and made herself
at home.

But the stacked
little cuddle beds
really belong to...

The squeaky piggies,
Buttercup and Daffodil! 

"But Miss Dilly Bean,
I am a BABY Kitty
(hopefully forever)
so this cuddle bed
is just right
for
ME, ME, ME. "

And Baby Kitty was
right because she went
off to...

SLEEP, SLEEP, SLEEP
in a cuddle
bed
that was just right for
a BABY Kitty.
(and squeaky piggies)


Hoping you find a
cuddle bed in just
your size too.


Miss Dilly Bean

(A BIG thank you to
Mr. Dilly Bean for
taking these little
photos; he is
ALWAYS
helping Miss Dilly Bean
get
SUPER DUPER
photos.)

Cheek To Cheek

Here is Little Space Invader
(Plum, the 17 year old kitty)
doing what she does
best...

Sitting, Snuggling, and Cuddling
as
CLOSE AS POSSIBLE
to Mr. Dilly Bean's beard.

(See his
beardy beard beard in
the upper left corner,
Little Reader?)

Little Space Invader
LOVES LOVES LOVES
to sit
Cheek To Cheek!
(well - Cheek to Beard)

And, Little Space Invader
will NOT
take NO
for an answer.

But why would
anyone say no
anyway???

(Well, sometimes
Mr. Dilly Bean
has tried to
say no, but
for an aging,
arthritic kitty
she is a
STRONG
 and STUBBORN
Little Space
Invader.)


Hoping you get
to be
cheek-to-cheek
with someone too.


Miss Dilly Bean

What's Old Is New

It seems that a critter who
has his own language
(possibly annoying)
and sleep schedule
(also possibly annoying)
is back...

(This little Furby has
been HAPPILY
tucked away in
a little closet
for a
LONG LONG LONG
time.)

But this little New Furby...

along with some other
New Furbies
made their way into some
Cutie Pies' homes
at Christmas!

Miss Dilly Bean
is pretty sure
NEW Furby
is like OLD Furby
which would
explain why
one Cutie Pie
had to put
New Furby
in another room
so the Cutie Pie
could
go to to bed
and
SLEEP SLEEP SLEEP.


Hoping your sleep schedule
isn't controlled
by a gibberish-speaking critter!


Miss Dilly Bean
 

Don't Look

At first glance,
 Miss Dilly Bean
thought this icicle made
from a dripping gutter
looked intriguing...,

and then she
realized it looked
rather
TERRIFYING!

Because now
all Miss Dilly Bean
sees
is the creepy hand
from a certain
SCARY SCARY SCARY
movie
from the '80's...

So the only thought
Miss Dilly Bean
has now is:
MELT MELT MELT,
Little Creepy Icicle Hand!


Hoping something
scary in your life
will melt away too.


Miss Dilly Bean

Snuggle Buddies Part Three

Another COLD COLD COLD
evening means the two
snuggle buddies
 found each other.

(Little Reader, do you see
how the BABY Kitty
has one little paw
crossed under her
chinny chin chin...)

Miss Dilly Bean hopes they will
ALWAYS be snuggle buddies
even when the BABY Kitty
grows UP UP UP.

(But please don't grow UP,
BABY Kitty...pretty please?)


Hoping you know
the secret to keeping
a kitty a BABY
forever and
will share it
with Miss Dilly Bean!

Icky Drizzly Sleety

After spending the day with a
DELIGHTFUL
co-worker
and some
DELIGHTFUL
Cutie Pies
at a
DELIGHTFUL
 out-of-town
competition of the MINDS
where it was made even more
DELIGHTFUL
because the
Cutie Pies
WON WON WON
the competition of the MINDS,
Miss Dilly Bean raced
home to avoid
icky, drizzly, sleety
weather...

And made
Mr. Dilly Bean one of
his
FAVORITE soups,
Vegetable Beef.

And now that
Miss Dilly Bean
was in her cozy, little home
with
yummy-in-your-tummy
soup,
she didn't mind
the icky, drizzly, sleety
weather so much.

Hoping you stay cozy
too!


Miss Dilly Bean

Snuggle Buddies Part Two

One pesky BABY Kitty found
her snuggle buddy again...

And they snuggled and slept
and slept and snuggled
happily ever after.

(Even if Maizie the Peke
is snoozing with her
little peke head hanging
OFF OFF OFF
the plumpy pillow...)

Hoping you have a
Happily Ever After
too.


Miss Dilly Bean 

Three Two One

Two years ago,
Miss Dilly Bean
was so
HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY
to adopt
Maizie the Peke.

Miss Dilly Bean
immediately scurried
the new little
one-eyed peke
over to the
eye surgeon
only to learn
that
Maizie the Peke's
 "good" eye
wasn't
so
"good" and
might need
surgery.

This made
Miss Dilly Bean
SAD SAD SAD,
but she
immediately began
 to follow
the doctor's orders
of
THREE types of
eye drops
 THREE times a day.

Then... just TWO
types of eye drops
TWO times a day.

And now... just ONE
type of eye drop.
(Probably forever...)

 Miss Dilly Bean
is so grateful
Maizie the Peke
will have ONE
fairly healthy eye
so she NEVER
complains
about the
ENDLESS
eye drops.

(Because
Maizie the Peke
gives
ENDLESS LOVE...
oh dear,
now Miss Dilly Bean
is hearing that song
in her silly little head.)


Hoping you
aren't singing
"Endless Love"
OVER and OVER
in your head now!

What Happened, Little Classroom

What happened to you,
 Little Classroom,
during Christmas Break?

(Little Classroom says its
carpet needed a sudsy bath...)

And after the sudsy carpet bath,
Miss Dilly Bean fixed Little Classroom.

Your boards were
BLANK, BLANK, BLANK,
Little Classroom.

(So Miss Dilly Bean fixed that.) 

Silly Santas still hung on
the wall even though it
was January...

(Miss Dilly Bean fixed that.) 

The season of Advent had ended...

(So Miss Dilly Bean found
 a home for that.)

Storage Closet was a
MESS MESS MESS!

(Miss Dilly Bean definitely
 fixed that.)

Ummm...Little Fern,
you don't look so good.

(Sadly, Miss Dilly Bean could
not fix that.)


Hoping you can fix
things here and there
too.
(But if you could have
fixed Little Fern, please
don't tell Miss Dilly Bean
because it is too
late for
THAT, THAT, THAT.)


Miss Dilly Bean

17 Years And 6 Months

Two kitties side by side...

The oldest kitty (17 years)
and
the BABY Kitty (6 months)
being FRIENDS
because everyone knows
that FRIENDS
come
in all shapes, sizes, and ages.

Hoping you have someone
to sit with side by side.


Miss Dilly Bean

P.S.- The BABY Kitty doesn't exactly
ask the other cutie pie critters
to be friends; she pretty much
pesters them like CRAZY
until they come around.  Oh well,
it seems to work...

Not One But Two

Thank you, Little Christmas Break,
for giving
Miss Dilly Bean
TIME TIME TIME!

She even had
TIME TIME TIME
to go
to not
ONE
but
TWO
movies!!!

Miss Dilly Bean
ALMOST
went to
THREE movies,
but those pesky
report cards needed to be
DONE DONE DONE...


Hoping you like the number
TWO as much as
Miss Dilly Bean.

Miss Dilly Bean

Getting "Purdy"

Two little pekes
spent part of the day
getting
washed, shampooed,
clipped, groomed,
and
sprayed (with Avon perfume)!

Yes, Miss Dilly Bean's groomer
really does spray the pekes
with Avon perfume...

And when ALL that was done,
two little pekes
looked... (and smelled) 

Mighty Pretty...no...Mighty "Purdy"!

(Even if those two silly pekes
would NOT, NOT, NOT
sit where the light would
make these little photos
much cuter.)


Hoping you feel
Mighty "Purdy" too.

Life In The Laundry Room

Little Reader,
here you see
a laundry room
with doggie beds
and
OODLES
of freshly laundered
blankets.

But wait,
there's more...

Do you see someone's little
doggie feet sticking
OUT OUT OUT
just a wee little bit?

It's Lucy!

The lovable weird-o pup
who spends
MOST
of her
time UNDER the blankets
in the LAUNDRY
ROOM.

Another Day in Lucy's life...

Same little doggie feet
sticking
OUT, OUT, OUT. 

SURPRISE!
 On this little day,
another cutie pie pup
can be found
with Lovable Lucy
UNDER
the blankets
in the laundry room... 

Well, hello there,
Rachel the Chihuahua!

Rachel the Chihuahua
was told by
Lovable Lucy
that the
laundry room blankets
are washed
EVERY day
and
come out of the
dryer all
SNUGGLY, WARM, and COZY.


Hoping you get to enjoy
fresh laundered blankets
as much as Lovable Lucy.

Miss Dilly Bean

P.S.- You know whose pups
these are...
Miss Dilly Bean's sister's!
