We just heard that our brave mentor and great friend Pablo was helped to the Bridge this morning (which was 12 hours ago in tomorrow). </div><div><br /></div><div>Kate and Nick and little Alex now have a Pablo sized hole in their hearts. Everyone please send your strongest purrs all the way to tomorrow for them. Kate was a fantastic servant to Pablo over the years. Since he had so many responsibilities, it was imperative that he find such an efficient human assistant. Kate took her role very seriously and served faithfully ever since he was a young cat.</div><div><br /></div><div>Pablo, you will be greatly missed. </div>Phoebehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03251610960150042803noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5359602571277095796.post-53749781138664242402011-01-18T17:23:00.001-08:002011-01-18T17:23:20.736-08:00Just chillingIt would be a bit more "chill" if Joey weren't crowding me...

One of my new duties as co-chairfeline is to oversee the food supply in the PFC headquarters. Monica used to see to that and I assisted her from time to time, but now it's up to me. My main technique of communicating a need for a food dish refill is a strategically timed bite to a human extremity. Toes and forearms are very effective. <br /><br />Well, recently I did some research on the innernets about kitties and kidney disease. I learned that we are very efficient at getting a lot of our daily liquid needs from our food. Kitties normally don't drink a lot of water because they get it from their food. Kitties that only eat dry food may be in a constant state of dehydration, according to my sources. So I requested Tracy to check out some of this wet stuff and see what it's all about. <br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://picasaweb.google.com/tracynate/SouthernOregonPostings?authkey=Gv1sRgCMfauZvFr_z1lAE#5427472292271105026'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoJDU4dtLGnI_LFeYoj8hBD3GAWpzPh0MuDa_-7NhbCd6RaoJSZw67UwPw4tNvzoTwZ85NHxCYSEGY_UhhhfI2EaOW7_OFCDs020Udoi1A4m0JqSswOf3nDfJ8ipt3JfVUGeXjGQ3Tpio/s288/iphone_photo.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />So far, Phoebe and I really like the chicken flavor and the salmon kind, but the others are pretty good.

I just wanted to let you know that our Grandma is in the hospital today. She had a surgery on her heart. It's called "atrial valve replacement and double bypass". I asked Tracy if I could go visit Grandma in the hospital, but she said that we can't get any furs into her operation, so I have to stay home. I can go visit Grandma when she is back home in about a week. Tracy's not sure how much we will get to blog in the next few days.Phoebehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03251610960150042803noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5359602571277095796.post-70672048619770944332010-01-09T10:24:00.001-08:002010-01-10T20:33:24.367-08:00Big announcement!Hi everycat!<br /><br /><center><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/tracynate/SouthernOregonPostings?authkey=Gv1sRgCMfauZvFr_z1lAE#5424807748598994178"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvchm5Rn2nHz85sQCKjAy3ntLaBSq3G33s-j207T-YFk0lMDxruW884_9OfLzA04VoJew0FUHCM25jqG8LWwuFSWt7kmRKO01LUalr4ZfOxrWgPYY7Y6zyVxgbBfA-NMe1ov-VUD-3m0U/s288/iphone_photo.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" border="0" height="281" width="210" /></a></center><br />Joey here with my Big Announcement.

I am honored and will do my best to fill her paws.<br /><br />To get started, I did some editing in our layout and the fan club membership roll. Unfortunately, we had to say goodbye to one of our senior members, Princess, who went to Rainbow Bridge within a week of Monica. We welcome her little brother Pierro.

This is Joey here. Tracy, Denis, Phoebe and I all want to thank you so much for your very nice messages of support while we adjust to not having Monica with us any more. It took us a while, but we are getting back to our routine around here. <br /><br />There is just one problem, Tracy's computer is not working very well right now. She says that we can't get any of the pictures out of our camera right now so that we can do much blogging. This is not fair because I have some very important news to tell you all.<br /><br />For now, we can only get pictures from Tracy's phone, so they are not the best quality. But they will have to do.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqD1f7Ih_NlWsqyegaQMcfX1fEkHDW7UXjlgnn4fu7Iq2kv9xRigctI31hMed9m5ExTlalsmwqJEoHMevnPRUfbGkoZkZ7XevUt5aC93KtRBl2nk-91n7s8sBN-myIcQLFgY2hW56AukVz/s1600-h/joey+and+tree.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqD1f7Ih_NlWsqyegaQMcfX1fEkHDW7UXjlgnn4fu7Iq2kv9xRigctI31hMed9m5ExTlalsmwqJEoHMevnPRUfbGkoZkZ7XevUt5aC93KtRBl2nk-91n7s8sBN-myIcQLFgY2hW56AukVz/s320/joey+and+tree.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5422673973390591490" border="0" /></a>This one was before Christmas.

Monica has gone on to Rainbow Bridge. She was peacefully helped to go there on Friday morning after becoming really sick over just the last week. <br /><br />We all noticed that Monica was not hanging out with us very much on Tuesday. She was spending more time than usual lounging on Tracy and Denis' bed instead of watching TV. Tracy suspected that something was wrong when Monica wouldn't even chase our lazer light toy, cause that is her favoritest toy of all. On Wednesday, Denis took her to the V.E.T. and they found she had lost 2 lbs in just a month. She was dehydrated, so they gave her some subQ fluids and drew some blood. That evening, we hoped that she would perk up like I did when I got fluids when I was sick. But she didn't really perk up. She was very tired and didn't eat much that evening. <br /><br />Thursday morning, Denis got the report from the V.E.T. that Monica's kidney labs were very bad. In his experience, a kitty with labs as bad as hers do not respond to treatment very well, so it was not much of an option to try to do agressive treatment. Besides, Monica was never a very good patient, and Tracy thinks that she would not have been very happy to get pills and fluids, even more unhappy than I was when I was sick. So Thursday evening, we all spent some very nice quiet time together. Tracy and Denis helped Monica get a drink from the tub faucet like she liked as often as she wanted and we all slept in the big bed with them that night. <br /><br />They took her to Rainbow Bridge at 8 AM on Friday, so that she wouldn't have to spend all day feeling badly, especially with Denis and Tracy at work and not home to help her. <br /><br />Monica was a very good sister and kept our house in good order. Last night, Tracy and I read our whole entire blog and remembered all our happy times over the last two years. Today, I am staying near Tracy and purring for her extra hard to keep her company. Joey and I will have to sort out how the responsibilities that Monica carried will be divided between us two. We will do our best to keep things in order around here.<br /><br />Good bye Monica.Phoebehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03251610960150042803noreply@blogger.com29tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5359602571277095796.post-88206276796256069942009-11-23T00:43:00.000-08:002009-11-23T00:45:48.035-08:00New ToysWe had a very exciting day here at the Pablo Fan Club headquarters.

It's certainly been a long time since I posted anything on the Pablo Fan Club blog and I'm sorry for that. I wanted to take a moment to tell you all about an interesting experiment that we conducted recently.<br /><br />You see, Tracy had been switching our foods willy-nilly and it was very confusing.

What do you think, Pablo?<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRP6f8hilmTjwEquErErUK6CR0SEecG0GCf8PfP3wlQyXefop25CCQxxBkWBn8r-WA7oV6nfqT8n9TEf9bINXUsXGwQncqIMNOM3a5pIXa2-mNZRG30LJzTgcd-AIZHW5E_hEVwKd0Qw1q/s1600-h/DSCF2152.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRP6f8hilmTjwEquErErUK6CR0SEecG0GCf8PfP3wlQyXefop25CCQxxBkWBn8r-WA7oV6nfqT8n9TEf9bINXUsXGwQncqIMNOM3a5pIXa2-mNZRG30LJzTgcd-AIZHW5E_hEVwKd0Qw1q/s320/DSCF2152.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352166403559707634" border="0" /></a>And finally, I want to introduce a new friend of ours who just got a new blog.

Phoebe said that this bird didn't have much to say for itself except "cluck cluck cluck". What kind of language is that? But stranger yet, Tracy came home from work today with a small box that was making noises. The box was saying "cheep cheep cheep". She took the box into the spare bathroom. She and Denis keep going in there and spending inordinate amounts of time. What is going on?<br /><br />When they open the door, we just get a quick peek, but they won't let us go in to have a proper look.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE0s8afR8UeXAmSjosrZR4tPQsZr__GGCibY67MLM0_2-jeABboj4LqeEqNIgKIYZHmiOo1h2L0kmLRNGbrLEUh54_VJ0GFpeYfOAyZIG3Yab25BDcHdmvUASfvYb1nBZXUrlCr207A6TG/s1600-h/DSCF1961.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE0s8afR8UeXAmSjosrZR4tPQsZr__GGCibY67MLM0_2-jeABboj4LqeEqNIgKIYZHmiOo1h2L0kmLRNGbrLEUh54_VJ0GFpeYfOAyZIG3Yab25BDcHdmvUASfvYb1nBZXUrlCr207A6TG/s320/DSCF1961.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330297123764424386" border="0" /></a>Could this be a new game? or a change on the menu?Monicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06397716805843659319noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5359602571277095796.post-23057247973517530412009-04-23T22:37:00.000-07:002009-04-23T22:40:53.708-07:00WordleDear Pablo,<br /><br />I just did another Wordle of our blog feed and I am so happy to see that you are the biggest word in our wordle now!
