Update On Nanuq

This picture of Nanuq was taken a few years ago. Nanuq is moving much slower these days. His joints are aging despite his young spirit. He tells mom and dad he wants to go outside, but when he gets outside he wants to come back in. He spends most of his time laying on a dog bed in the middle of our family room floor.  Please pray for Nanuq. We love him so much and we do not want him to suffer.

Kitty Brother, Sox

Mom took the photo of Sox last week. He "loves" to lay on the dryer while it is running. We rescued him about five years ago. He was found in a culvert pipe on a farm in Bealton, Virginia. My mom's friend Sue Ellen Sox Brown rescued him and brought him back to Richmond. She nursed he and his siblings back to health and Mom decided Sox should live with us. Dad named him "Sox" after Sue Ellen. It is her maiden name and Sox also has socks on all for feet! My human brother Wil has taught Sox to fetch and Mom crate trained him. I'm not sure, but I think he is a little confused. Mom says, "he's a dog trapped in a cats body!"

Sox doesn't like me very much. It's all because I still chase him if the opportunity arises. I never hurt him.  When I catch him and I always catch him I use my nose to nuzzle him around. He does not like my nuzzling and puppy love. I don't get it. He prances around and teases me, but when I take the bait, he gets cranky. I always end up with blood trickling from my nose. Well, that's life with a big, fat, furry kitty!

Happy Birthday, Dad!

On February 28th our human dad turns 69! Last night, our humans surprised Dad by inviting about 60-70 of their closest friends and family to celebrate. Dad is a pretty smart "biscuit" and thought they were up to something, but he was quite surprised when he opened the door to all those people screaming surprise. Soon our house filled with love, laughter, and lots of yummy food!

We LOVE you, Dad!

Snow Days

Mom, Dad, and I were blessed with snow after months of prayers! It came on Sunday afternoon and is almost gone, today! As you can see, I really enjoyed playing in the snow. Mom could hardly get me to come inside, Sunday night. She said, "we have to sleep....you can play more tomorrow!" I was pretty tired, but I am sure I could have romped around howling all night long. Surely, the neighbors would have understood my delight. It's not like we get snow everyday in Richmond, Virginia.

New Adventure In The Perdue Zoo

Today, while mom and dad were out I got bored. I let myself out of the "big gate" and when mom and dad arrived they found me resting comfortably in the drive way. They are still talking about it. Dad thinks someone unlatched the gate and mom says I figured the latch out and released myself. Of course, I am the only one who knows the real truth and I'm not telling.

Goose Hill Farm

Today, I am guest posting over at Goose Hill Farm for my human friend, Ms. Laura. God has relocated Ms. Laura, her humans, fur babies, and feathered friends. Please pray for Ms. Laura and her family. My humans and I love them. New adventures can be scary and full of ups and downs, so please hop over and let Ms. Laura know you are praying for her.

Nanuq Speaks

Hi, Nanuq here! I hijacked my furry brothers blog. Sitka is a blog hog and I have a word or two for you guys, today. I am getting older and my joints are full of arthritis. I am having trouble getting up and down. Mom and Dad are doing everything they can to keep me comfortable in my old age, but some days I have more trouble getting around than others.

Mom took the picture of Savannah and I last Thursday when Savannah came over to visit. I love Savannah. She is my humans granddaughter. When my humans rescued me Savannah was barely six months old and I use to lay beside her on the floor while she played. Savannah and I still like to cuddle! She is now four and half years old and the doggie doctor thinks I am at least 9 years old. I sure am glad she knows how to be gentle with me.

Mom and Dad pray I will have many more years with them. I have been trying to let them know I am old and tired and it is okay. They have given me a good life and I am thankful for my human and furry family. Of course, I don't want to leave them either.

Hopefully, Sitka want get too cranky when he finds out I took over his blog, today.

Cuddling with my humans,

Nanuq

All Dressed Up

Last weekend, Dad and Mom traveled to South Carolina for a family wedding. Don't they look wonderful "all dressed up?" They had a great trip and came back to us safely. What more could fur babies ask for? God answered our prayers for safe travel and blessings. We also prayed Mom and Dad would reflect GOD's love in all their travels.

This past Wednesday Dad received the results from his biopsy's. Out of 12 strands taken he had 5% cancer in one strand. It is slow growing. For now, the Urologist will monitor it regularly. Please pray for my humans as they seek to make wise decisions in each area of their lives.

URGENT PRAYER REQUEST

Dad and Nanuq



Please pray for my human Dad. He has been having tests. Today, he had biopsy's. You can go over to mom's blog, Arise 2 Write and read the details of Dad's situation. I am calling all my furry friends and their parents to prayer. I have the best human Dad out there and this I know for sure. He puts up with a lot of furry adventures and laughs about most of them. Even when I get in trouble, he still loves me. In fact, I think he loves me all the more. He says, "that is what Jesus would do."

THANK YOU for storming the heavens in prayer with Mom, my furry brothers, my human siblings, and I. We appreciate your time!

Checking In

Mom has been hogging the computer lately. I have been enjoying the wonderful "cool" air GOD has sent us. I keep hearing people complain about the wonderful cooler temperatures. I love them. I wish my furry friends over in Alaska would quit hogging all the snow. We haven't even seen a little flurry here in the Richmond Metro area.

Praying all you humans and furry kids with less hair are staying warm and taking extra precautions. I realize GOD did not bless you guys with the extra fur HE so graciously gave me. He created me to endure the colder temperatures without a problem and I am thankful. There is a trade off. I have to be extra careful not to get over heated when summer brings those oven like temperatures.

My humans are staying quite busy and praying for many who are struggling. Please join us as we storm the heavens in prayer for all those with special needs.
