Hi everyone. I am exhausted.
The Great One really rubs me the wrong way. Really, I let her pet me now to make Mom happy. She knows not to rub my head, but she rubs my tushy in a circular motion so sometimes it is the wrong way. Sigh!
She made some cute little soap pads out of paper towels, soap and markers.
You just take one and wet it and the soap comes out. Mom thinks it is a great idea to have in her purse for when a place doesn’t have soap.
Mom is taking advice from Typhoid Mary’s Furby now. The newer versions will tell you a fortune and it told Mom she would tap dance to happiness. Mom had been thinking about taking a tap class and that was the push she needed so she starts in September. If they tell her she needs to be in a recital though, she will quit. She is just doing it for exercise and fun. Typhoid Mary is going to tap this year too and jazz and hip hop and acro. Oh my!
Everyone has been behaving. Well, except Penelope. She is arthritic so she needs some help grooming and doesn’t like that so when Mom brushes her back she tries to scratch her. And she will chase Mom across the room to whap her. It is kind of funny though. That old gal can move fast ( Penelope, not my mom).
Well, that is all for this week. I need to rest up as these last few weeks before school starts are going to be tough.
We are joining Comedy Plus’ Happy Tuesday Blog Hop.
Pretty picture of you Rosie, even with these challenging few weeks before school starts, lol! Interesting about the tap dance! XO
Thank you. 🙂 XO
You go, Ellen, tap dancing should be fun! I hope you and your T,M. will do well in those classes.
Penelope sounds like a kitty with catitude!!
Thank you. 🙂 Yes, TN loves to perform and dance. XO
Well, Rosie you tell your mama to get that soap towel idea on the MARKET and make a bundle. Your mama must send the idea to herself, written out, NOW, to protect it and ..I think my mama will write this to your mama. Ay, there’s the rub!
That would be wise, but The Great One got the idea from Youtube so it isn’t her idea. XO
Sounds like you are having a trying time, Rosie. It will be fun for your mum to try tap dancing. It sounds like Typhoid Mary is going to have a busy time.
Thank you. 🙂 Yes, plus soccer. XO
Rosie that is quite the scoop today. We sure hope mom enjoys tap dancing. I bet that would be fun but I have to say at my age I’ll just stick to walking and riding my bike. Do not ask me to get up in front of an audience. I like the soap idea that is clever in a good idea to put in a little plastic bag and Tuck into my purse.
Thank you. 🙂 Mom emailed today and she doesn’t have to be in a recital. 🙂 Mom has some in an altoid tim in her purse. XO
Bravo to your Mommy ’bout the tap dancing, mine has a challenge for movement beyond basic walking! Me is loving Penelope’s style, I is only 5, so no excuses, but still love to swat or whap mine Mommy to “teach” her what to do vs what not to do. I mean how will they ever learn …
Thank you. 🙂 Yes, it is an effective way to teach humans. XO
The soap towel is a great invention. Will you video your Mom tap dancing?
Thank you. 🙂 No way on her being videos dancing. 🙂
Rosie, thank you for the latest scoop. I love the idea of the soap pads, and your mom taking tap dancing is great. I remember taking tap dancing when I was a child, and I’ve used dancing as exercise ever since, because it’s more fun.
Thank you. 🙂 That is why mom wants to do it. XO
Sounds like you got a lot going on there, Rosie.
Always- never a dull moment.
We support your meowmy’s desire to try new things!
Tummy rubs must be administered in the correct manner, Rosie.
Thank you. 🙂 Mom thanks you too. XO
Rosie is most beautiful and Penelope made me laugh out loud. That is funny.
Thank you for joining the Happy Tuesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Happy Tuesday. Scritches to all the kitties and a big hug to mom. ♥
Thank you. 🙂 Glad you got a chuckle. Even mom gets a kick out of it even if she does get whapped. XO
Rosie is adorable and Penny ~ fun post ~ have fun tap dancing ~ hugs,
an artist reflects (carol and ziggy)
Thank you. 🙂 XO
I agree there is a wrong and right way to rub…the wrong way feels like someone is gonna rub a hole in your skin. Great idea on the soap pads.
Hugs cecilia
Thank you. 🙂 XO
Those soap pads sound quite interesting. It is annoying when someone pets us the “wrong” way. You do look cute, if a tad miffed, in your photo. We would love to see Mom Ellen being chased at and then whapped. Penelope definitely has some spunk.

I will try to get a video of Penelope chaign her. I think The Great One can film it. XO
It all sound pretty fun to me, Rosie! I hope your mom makes a video of her tap-dancing abilities.
Thank you. 🙂 That is not going to happen. Sorry. XO
I hope you get some rest sweet Rosie! School started here today!
Thank you. 🙂 The girls don’t start until the 28th- we always start late, but don’t get out until almost the end of June. XO

Mom says thank you. She took lessons for years until she got out of high school and loved it. She doesn’t remember that episode. XO
Great report, Rosie. Very newsy!
Thank you. 🙂
I do hope The Great One will learn to pet you the way you like best. I’ve learned to listen to my cats on that score.
The soap pads sound brilliant.
Good luck to your mom with the tap dancing. It’s fun, I did it as a kid but I’m not really good at things like that.
Thanks for keeping us up on the news, and tell Penelope she’s blessed to have someone who cares enough to help her.
Thank you. 🙂 Mom took lessons for years until she got out of high school so she is excited. XO
Oh, Ellen, that will be so much fun tap dancing away! I loved tap dancing when I was little. I was terrible but nobody burst my bubble and told me. But I was a quirky kid just like I am quirky now… so there’s that.
Rosie, at least you are patient with TGO about the petting/rubbing you the wrong way. I have a vision of your Mom running away from Penelope 🙂 Z Cat chased me and slapped my ankles 🙂
I took lessons through high school and I have always missed it. I love the sound of the taps. Mom is glad that has happened to someone else. XO
Great update! You made me smile!
Thank you. 🙂
Those soap sheets sound like a very practical idea. And you know, you should really give those circular pets a try – you might find you enjoy them:). Mom is sad here because the twins and their big sister will all be headed off to college this weekend. She is going to miss them so much.
Woos – Misty and Timber
That is sad. They grow up so fast. xO
Great update, Rosie! The tap class sounds like fun.
Thank you. 🙂
That’s really annoying when someone pets your fur the wrong way! I bet it takes you hours to fix yourself back up again!
Exactly. 🙂
Charlee: “Wow, we didn’t know furbies were into dancing!”
Chaplin: “They used to do some tap at the studio where our Mama and Dada go! They never did tap themselves but their friends did. Apparently it was pretty cool, not to mention noisy!”
What kind of dance did your folks do?
Love that soap pad/paper idea. Brilliant!
Thank you. 🙂
That’s funny thinking of Penelope chasing you!
Neat idea for soap pads to take along. 🙂
She is a character. Thank you. 🙂 xo
