Introducing Bita

This is our beautiful Rottweiler, Bita.
Her full name is Abita Amber .
She is named after the Abita Amber beer made in Abita Springs, LA.

She was born on July 4, 2003 in Riverside, CA.
We love the fact that on July the Fourth there are fireworks to celebrate our Independence Day because the fireworks also help celebrate Bita's birthday.

And, boy, does Bita love to get presents! She happily opens all the presents herself.
At Christmas and during any other special time when gifts are given, she is the appointed
present opener. ****I am the appointed gift wrap picker-upper when she is done!****


Bita is a wonderful pet. She is intelligent, kind and fun-loving! We keep a running list of all
the words that she knows and it is extensive!

She is certainly a Daddy's Girl, though. When her Daddy comes home she can hardly contain herself, she is so full of joy!

Bita and Mineau are great sisters. They get along so well.
One reason they get along so well is that Bita understands that Mineau is the boss of the entire family.

Another reason is that they just love each other.

Introducing Mineau

This is my kitty cat, Mineau.

We rescued her on 12/22/96 when we were living in the Jacksonville, FL area. Is she not beautiful?

Her real name is Noelle, but for some reason we just never call her that. My husband is from Louisiana (Geaux Saints!) and began to call her Mineau so it stuck. She is the real ruler of our home. Even our Rottie, Bita, listens aptly whenever Mineau has something to say.

Now, some people may think this is a bit strange, but sometimes when we cannot seem to make up our minds, we just " leave it up to Mineau" and put some choices on paper, letting her pick one of the pieces. Whatever Mineau chooses, well, let's just say that the decision is a bit easier for us since Mineau obviously is wise. Of course, this is for things like: what shall we have for dinner, which color paint should we choose or which dvd should we watch tonight? So, if anyone is having difficulty coming to a final decision on some important matter, Mineau would gladly help out. She is very decisive and never regrets her choices!

Speaking of pets, if you have never heard of the Best Friends Society, please visit their website. We have been supporters of this great organization for some years now. Their work in helping homeless and helpless animals is tremendous. http://www.bestfriends.org/

How about you? I would love to hear about your pets.

Carpe Diem!

Getting Started! ( boy, am I excited!)

Hello, everyone!
Well, probably not too many people except my family members for right now since nobody knows about this blog.

My name is Terry and I have never had a blog.

The reason I wanted to have a blog is because it looks like fun and maybe I can make some friends along the way. Oh, and I would absolutely love to help others just like the bloggers that have helped me so much through the valuable info they have posted on their blogs.

I named my blog Frugal Kitty because I enjoy spending money wisely and I really love my kitty cat, Mineau. ( I also love my dog, Bita, but wanted to use the word "Kitty" instead of "Doggie".)

It is my intention to learn all I can about this entire blogging phenomenon and develop an interesting blog that will entice readers.

If you happened upon my blog and are still reading, thank you!
Please stop by again as I write a little about my life and offer tidbits that might be helpful.

Carpe Diem!
