Co-Laboring

Observed the first Monday in September, Labor Day is an annual celebration of the social and economic achievements of American workers. The holiday is rooted in the late nineteenth century, when labor activists pushed for a federal holiday to recognize the many contributions workers have made to America’s strength, prosperity, and well-being.

As a laborer, either at the office or working remotely, co-workers can be the spice of life, or the bane

 of our existence!

Silly memes collected for your entertainment!

Happy Labor Day!

Further Adventures of Spy Kitty

My co-worker texted yesterday morning:

"I'm here, my computer is not!

Having connection issues"

🙀

Wait a minute!  Let's hear what Spy Kitty says...

"Control to Spy Kitty, come in Spy Kitty"

"Meow!  You woke me up!  What is it, Control?"

"Need eyes on suspect; verify working...repeat verify working!"

"Geez Louise, Control!  Ease up..."

"Spy Kitty, you are paid in treats to do a job!  Hop to it!"

".....grumble, moan, purr..."

"Spy Kitty, we didn't catch that...repeat!"

"Control, she's working, and swearing at her computer.  I'm going back to my nap!...over"

"Spy Kitty, your ration of treats is on its way.  Good job.  Over."

"....Zzzzzzzzz...."

I Spy

My friend and co-worker sends me photos of her cat Lana.

Lana obviously has been paid off in Temptations by our boss, to play secret agent!

Don't these images just make you laugh?

Am thankful for those who share the quirky, silly world of cats!

Wowed Wednesday

A co-worker gifted this delightful drawing
of a tabby cat to me, found at a garage sale.
I love it!  Wow!

Thankful Thursday: BK

BK, rocking the cone!

Pensive BK...
...which lasts one nanosecond!

Too cute!

BK is being fostered by a co-worker, after having surgery to try to repair his bones and internal organs after some trauma.  BK has use of all of his limbs, except he is incontinent.  Hopefully, with regular therapy and acupuncture treatments, he won't have to wear diapers for the rest of his life.  BK is a regular kitten though; running, jumping, crazy at play, and as you can tell, as cute as the dickens!  I am thankful for people like my co-worker and his wife, who are willing to do what it takes to keep this little fella healthy and warm.

This is Thankful Thursday's Blog Hop from Brian's Home!

Mr. Chunk

Mr. Chunk's story, as told by my co-worker:

"This guy showed up when I was off work for foot surgery, found curled up under my picnic table and it was bitter cold out (February).  I can’t afford another cat and he had and eye infection, worms and ear mites that I could see – more that I could take care of at the time and I can’t afford 4 cats.

I felt horrible but I took him to the Blue Water Humane society – they are basically no kill, but if they are too sick or un-adoptable they will put cats down.  I knew this was his only chance.

Well……happy ending – I donated a bunch of stuff to the Humane Society on Saturday and check on my guy…….well, my handsome stray already got adopted out to an elderly lady.  They said she came in there and fell in LOVE with him so he has a great home now.  I just about cried when they told me!!  They said his eye infection was an old eye injury and he was a little beat up but recovered very well and now has a forever home.  Here is his pic that they took before he got adopted out. 

Just thought I would share – not often that things work out so well – yeah!!!!  They called him “Mr. Chunk” because his face is more of a chunk shape and you can tell his right eye is the one with the injury but they think he will fully recover in time.  He still squints a little but he looks so much better now than sitting under my picnic table in sub zero weather JJJ  He looks so peaceful here!"

I love this story, with a happy ending!  My co-worker loves cats; she and I engage in cat stories often. Kudos to Blue Water Humane Society for caring for Mr. Chunk and for finding him a forever home! And a big thank you to RC: you saved a kitty life!  I cried a little bit just reading your email!
