NOTE: Previously-scheduled posts will continue to appear below this one.
Charlee: “Hello everyone! It’s us, the Oceanside Animals!”
Chaplin: “We are here with an update on how Dada is doing.”
Lulu: “For those who don’t know, what happened to Dada is that he suffered a ruptured brain aneurysm last month and as a result was in the hospital for a while.”
Charlee: “It was awful. All that time with no lap time in the office. I don’t know how either one of us coped.”
Chaplin: “You coped by meowing outside his office door, and I heard that Dada coped by hanging on to a new fuzzy stuffie that Mama got him that he named Substitute Charlee.”
Charlee: “What?”
Chaplin: “Yep, I heard Substitute Charlee stayed in the hospital bed with him all the time and even went with him for CT scans and stuff.”
Charlee: “WHAT?!?!?!?”
Substitute CharleeLulu: “ANYWAY … since he was released from the hospital, Dada has been recovering well at home and gradually resuming his normal activities, such as drinking coffee and giving belly rubs.”
Chaplin: “And feeding us cats.”
Charlee: “And petting me on his lap in the office. Substitute Charlee indeed. Pfft.”
Chaplin: “So we’ll see you in the new year!”
Charlee: “Here’s purring that it’s less eventful than this one was!”

May the healing continue – look forward to the next year’s posts! 💕😊

I’m so sorry Dada had to go through all of this. He’s a tough cookie. And he’s got purrrfect company to look after him at home.
Dear Dada – I hope you continue to rest & recuperate. Stepping away from the blog for now sounds like a good idea. I can’t believe you do anything at all on here at the moment with what you’ve been through! Sending love & the very best of wishes for a smooth recovery as you gain back your strength ♥
Happy Holidays & Merry Christmas to you all 🌹

Substitute Charlee indeed! (Although we see the resemblance.) No one better ever try to give our pawrents a substitute Lucy or Xena. (Unless of course they are in a place where we are forbidden to go and it would help them, even if not as much.) We all hope and put paws together that your DaDa keeps getting better and stronger and that he never needs a substitute Charlee again. XOX Xena and Lucy
