10th Anniversary Post

Orbit- Blog Founder and Original Old Fart
And then this old girl took over


It was 10 years ago this week that Orbit and I wrote our first post for
Peeballs and Pooplogs, and boy, has a lot changed since then.

Yeah, like the immense improvement in the starring character, maybe?

Comparing Cleo and Orbit is like comparing thong underwear and bowling balls- they're not even remotely alike. 
 

Well that's a refreshing analogy someone just yanked out of his butt...


I'm just saying that you two couldn't be any more different, that's all. Our lives have been enriched in so many ways by two very distinct personalities.


What, and sticking to "apples and oranges" wouldn't have been good enough?


Anyway, Orbit and I began this blog ten years ago as a way to simply share our day-to-day existence, not knowing if anyone would care or be the least bit interested.

He certainly had the nap thing down!

  Who knew how many cat bloggers there were out there! Over the years I've enjoyed sharing our lives with you-
Head Bonks with Mom

the ups and downs, the happy with the sad- and I'm hoping we can keep it going for as long as we have something to share.  Cleo and I want you all to know how much we appreciate that you follow us, read what we have to say and enjoy our photos, even if it's occasionally tedious, unfunny or uninteresting. 


Those last words only refer to his non-me posts, of course. 


Sure, okay. So anyway, ten years is a long time to do many things, though I know a lot of fellow bloggers have been at it for far longer.


Amen to that.  Sheeit, about the only thing dad's ever been able to commit to for that long and then some is his relationship with mom!  Not jobs, homes, vehicles- you get the picture.


Ouch.  Anyway, I've enjoyed sharing all these years of day in/day out stuff with two of the best companions one could ever want.


The latter more so than the former, of course-


And we'll never forget poor little Grayson.

Dear, Sweet Grayson

Speaking of playthings, haven't you been saying you're gonna replace my chew pretzel for like, the last year or so?


Anyway, I won't drag this out.  Cleo and I will keep at it for as long as she feels like it, and thank you all for ten years of your continued attention.

The Queen, because of course

Ditto.

Happy 10th Blogoversary!
Cleo, you are a wonder, and it's patently obvious that your humans needed you in their lives, because you make order out of their chaos!
So glad that we found your blog.

I have only recently found you but I enjoy what you have to say and the photos etc that you share!

Bravo bravo standing ovation. Founding author Orbit should and is always remembered fondly. That is what I used to tell Madi. You need to remember to be thankful for the paws that paved your path to our hearts.
AMEN to difference in two cats. Milky-Way was the purrfect first cat...or maybe the deceiving first cat. We thought all cats were mellow, easy going, no demanding and never ever complained. MOL MOL MOL then we met Madison D. Cat. 360 degrees polar opposite. Bryan referred to her a a perpetual 13 year old teenage girl. BUT that being said she was the purrfect cat for blogging. She was full of energy and loved posing and always into something. Without her antics there would have been no way to meet friends such as you and Dad Cleo. So to you I bow Queen Cleo and say thank you for the fun
Happy 4th Hugs Cecilia

Cleo, you have a done a fine job today of showing me Orbit and tiny Grayson.
Also, your commentary shows dad the way a blog should be. Keep up the
great work, Precious and I will be here to see what you let your mom and
dad get away with.

Happy Blogoversary! Ten years is a furry long time in cat years and mom bean says it does a number on the beans too.

We hope you'll be around for many, many more years to come.

Happy Anniversary! 10 years is a long time, but with such awesome "subjects" I can believe that 10 years went by in a blink of an eye.

Here's to ten more years!
