From the Super Secret Diaries of Lucy Deboerayan.....


Dear Diary,

This weekend was a pretty good one by my standards. On Saturday, I went out to RIverside to visit Aunt Wendy, Uncle Ted, and Cousin Stinky. I also met Cousin Boogscott for the first time (see picture, left). Even though I know its wrong for me to say this, he's pretty cute and he pays a lot more attention to me than that Bernard. Always giving me kisses, and trying to run off into dark corners with me. But I guess you're not supposed to love your cousin in THAT way, our kids could come out with three heads. When I told the Lady that, she just laughed and said something about "non-existent uterus" and "in your dreams." She's such a bitch sometimes.

The next morning, we went out to the West Side (represent) to watch the Lady run around. I don't really see what the big deal is, I run around all day along and nobody applauds or gives out prizes.

The Man must have been bored too because he spent most of the morning taking "artsy" pictures of me. At least I got to keep my clothes on.


The Lady leaves for Italy tomorrow, which means it will be just me, the Man and the cats for a few days. The Man always remarks about how quiet it is when the Lady leaves town. Sometimes, he's sharper than I give him credit for. Hopefully, he will do some blogging so our fan base doesn't dwindle more than it already has. I swear, if I lose my Chicken Stripz endorsement they're going to hear about it.

Love always,

Lucy

Really.....


.....I swear you don't look fat. Do I look fat? Oh, come on, I'm so freakin' bloated. But you look great. No, seriously.....yes, of course I would tell you. Chewie said what? What a pig, don't even listen to him. You look really good.

Postcard from Hawaii


Dear Kids,

Aloha from beautiful Hawaii! I know that you're all bitter about not getting to come on this trip, but keep in mind that under Hawaiian law, you would have had to have been in quarantine for at least 30 days before you could go snorkeling with us. And don't forget, I hear they used to make animal sacrifices to the volcano here so, maybe you're better off at home.


Our trip has been wonderful, we saw the volcanoes, went kayaking and did lots and lots of snorkeling. We saw a sea turtle every time we went, which was amazing, and then we went to a black sand beach where the turtles came right up to the shore. It was great to see them up close, but of course the idiot tourists were all scampering around on the rocks trying to touch them, even though the signs clearly encouraged otherwise.

Truth be told, the Man may have been less than 15 feet away from that turtle for purely photographic purposes, but I only yelled at him a little.

Anyway, we miss you all very much and hope you are behaving yourselves. Lucy, I hear that Cousin Lola ate your conehead, I hope you didn't put her up to it. And kitties, I don't want to see any empty vodka bottles lying around outside when I pull up to the house on Tuesday. For God's sake, at least clean up after yourselves this time.

Love,

The Lady & The Man

There are many great organizations helping to rescue stranded, injured and homeless animals in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Here are links to just a few that we have come across:

Best Friends Animal Society

Humane Society of the United States

American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals

The Houston SPCA

I will update this as often as I can!
