Home we go!!

*Yawn* what a early morning! This tigger is missing its normal sleep in time.. But what a big day yet to come! Today we left the hotel and are heading back to Missouri! :-) HOME!!! But Jon says we have a few stops to make on the way back but it's not going to be that bad. He said we were going to have What-A-Burger.. And you know what he was right about how good it actually was! Paula made me get some healthy stuff too but that burger! Wow, next time I might beg to go back! :-)
Jon also has let me drive a little on the easy roads. No big town driving for me! Oh well! :-) When I'm not trying to drive, Paula has been introducing me to feet pictures!! Something she has started in the past year! And it's actually really fun! Though I don't really have socks or shoes. Maybe Paula will buy me some cute socks!

Louisiana & Texas!

Wow, two states, Jon and Paula, & a tigger like me? What a recipe for a super blast!
Jon and Paula did pictures yesterday in the swampy areas with their photographer, Becky from Just For You Photography. And as I must report from my hiding location, I did not see any crocodiles! I was a little nervous. Since I'm smaller than my counter parts, I was slightly afraid of being eaten :-/ while pictures were being taken! I know crazy but still, sometimes Jon and Paula get a little wrapped up in each other that they forget all about me.. :-/ it's sad but they still love me. :-) And that last kiss in front of the camera! Wow! I'm impressed they remembered to bring me a piece of cheesecake back later! Oh well, Sunday we head back to Missouri and I've heard tell that I might get to experience a What-A-Burger! Sounds weird... But Jon loves it so I'll try it.

Roadtrip!

On the road again!
Howdy, all! Sorry for such a long absence :-/ been working through some Tigger issues that run in our little right knit family.. :-/ It's been busy since I last wrote on here my Grandma Tigger died :-( its been horrible but I'm getting back to the swing of things...
This weekend I'm off to the wide world--- Shreveport, Louisiana! :-) with Jon and Paula. They are getting some engagement pictures done with this cool lady from Canada who will be taking their pictures at their wedding this summer! :-). I got to tag along for the ride! But I got to say Jon has gotten worse with this whole stop and let me and Paula enjoy some fresh air. He seems to think we just need to keep on going... No stopping til destination :-/.. I don't know about you, but this Tigger needs to stretch his legs every few miles!
Tonight, they left me to rest as they had a special dinner at some steak place... :-/ My favorite kind of dinner and they left me to starve without the warm yummy delicious steak... Maybe they will bring leftovers!
Tomorrow it's off to pictures and maybe we will see an alligator at the swamps!! :-)

Movie Time again!!!

Hey world!!

 Guess what! Paula let me choose what movie we were going to go see today! ... Wait let me back up. For the past month or so, Paula has been busy and so has Jon. So busy with work, each other, work, and cleaning, photos, etc. Its been insane and we haven't done ANYTHING!!! :( Its been rather depressing at least for me :( ... RJ is still here but he is hanging out with Artie more than me, which is good and bad.  Mainly bad because I have no one to hang out with cause Mitch just sleeps and is a little anti-social with us the new guys in the apt. Anyways, Paula promised the other day that once she finished editing this round of photos, she was going to take me to a movie and it was going to be MY CHOICE!!! :)  Can you believe it? She said to choose a movie! :) So I did!! :)

So I choose BURLESQUE with Christina Aguilera! And Wow, I'm not sure Paula was as thrilled to take me, but I was excited. It was amazing! I loved it so much! The music, the songs, the dancing ;) .... oh and yes LOVED the OUTFITS!!! But don't tell Paula, I told you, I was supposed to close my eyes. I guess those outfits are fit for young Tiggers like me. Oh well, I thought it was great! :) Christina's voice is amazing! I can't wait til it goes on DVD and Paula buys it! :) She told me she was but I'm not allowed to watch it until I'm a little older!

Anyways, Paula and I had an absolute fabulous time together! We had the movie theatre to ourselves so I got to dance and sing along with the movie without worrying about the people behind or in front of us! :) It was so much fun. Paula and I so needed an afternoon like this!

Wonder what we will do next! Paula keeps mentioning something called a Christmas tree... No clue, but it sounds kinda fun. We will see though... We will see

......... Much Love,

                            Alfred! :)

The Braveset!

A big hello from Alfred's younger brother.  I'm Tony! It's been a wild and crazy, and yes sometimes bumpy ride since I arrived at my new home.  Life with 3 kids all 3 and under can be very rough! When I try to hide under the bed to get a rest, someone finds me.  

Thankfully they have a pretty cool mom who saves me from getting too much love! Nothing more exciting than being pulled in 3 different directions because all of the kids want to love on you.  

What can I say, I'm one popular guy! 

This past week I got the extreme honor of following my youngest pal Keegan to a doctor appointment.  Keegan is a very special little boy.  He was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma Cancer when he was just 3 months old.  He's now 18 months old, and is doing well, but he still has a long way to go.  

To help keep him happy and to keep his mind off of things I went along.  I wanted to make sure those doctor's didn't hurt or scare my little buddy.

He got a scan called an MIBG.  This scan looks for any active cancer cells that might be in his body. He has to go through a lot just to get this scan!

Could you imagine being injected with an isotope that is radioactive? YIPES! How scary is that?  But don't worry, he won't explode.  The isotope just sticks to the active cancer cells (if there are any).

He has to be sedated and sent through this scary machine for about 45min.  That's a long time for a little guy like him, but he handles it really well.  He's one tough little man, and I'm glad I get to know him.  Even though he goes through so much he is really amazing.  He is always so happy and playful and doesn't let Cancer get in his way.

I really like this family, they are full of energy and fun.  They always have something going on and keep busy! Hopefully Alfred won't worry about me too much.  I'm adjusting well.  The only thing I have to really look out for is there hyper active dog, Molly.  She likes to try and chew on me, and I do not like that.  I am not a chew toy. 

If you want to know more about my pal Super Keegan he has a site just for him, check it out, tell him hi and let him know how brave he is.  http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/SuperKeeganRay

I am looking for to so many more adventures with this amazing one of a kind family.  

OH and Keegan's scans this week, looked great! He continues to be No Evidence of Disease. 

Tony

Farwell! But yet, Hello!

So this past week, I escorted another one of my brothers to a new home! I love helping my family find better homes than a store. In Sept., one of Paula's friend's kids had a birthday. She turned 3. So in honor of her birthday, Paula and I got together and decided that this home would be perfect for my youngest brother. :) I'm a little concerned, considering he is going to a home of a 3 yearold, and two twin 1 yearold-ish... I mean, 3 kids, holy cow! I don't know if he is going to be able to do it. Oh well, Paula's friend will be around to save my brother when she can.

On a good note, my brother and Paula's friend have decided to send us updates about what's going on that we can post on here! ... So stick around, eventually, we will have some (scary) interesting stories from my brother!



Eureka!

 It's been awhile, I'm sorry. I know. :( ... One last roadtrip post, well maybe two and I promise, I will get caught up. Paula has been working alot and working and working and starting a new job, etc. Its been insane. But we are finally catching up a little.

Anyways, you know that amazing roadtrip, we took at the end of August well, here is what you have been waiting for the place where we stayed! It was unbelievable! I mean, what is believable about staying in a railroad car in the middle of the woods, where there are no people around. It was quite beautiful! ... It had a hammock, a hot tub, and a ton of cool accessories all throughout the car! :) We even had a TV! I guess it was some sort of honeymoon/anniversary style place to stay, but we made it work. RJ and Artie managed to not contain themselves. I mean, they became the best of friends on this trip. You know, you can see it. In the picture of a hammock and me relaxing, you can see the two of them collaborating on something! Oh why did we have to bring them!

Anyways and then on the inside there was train decor everywhere! A miniature train for us to play on and a bunch of cool books for us to read, well to look at the pictures. Who has time to read on a vacation? Seriously, a vacation is a vacation away from everything that you can. That means cellphones too, Jon! :P .... But dang it, I wish we were still at that railroad car, far away from it all. :( ... Relaxing and not worrying about work, housework, parents, etc. I wish life was like a cabin in the woods.
