The trials and tribulations of Kelci. And her Reality Life

Once Upon A Time, Kelci A Thryce lived for the love of a bunny named Vinnie...A Hamster named Guido... and a Kitty named Joey...and, together, they made the Gangsta Pets.

But a REALITY CHECK hit KELCI A THRYCE....

...the kind of Reality Check that we all somehow expect God will never bestow upon us...

Read more here.

This is no Gangsta pet...This is Shelby Nicole Cowan 

She was born two weeks before my Dude...fourteen years to the day on February 28, 1995.

I'm Aunt Kelly.

Once Uponca Time, I held the Cowan name.

Today I just find my identity with Tanis's, while fantasizing I could be Kelci. No matter what, I lack a lot of things that Shelby never forgot.

See more of who she was below.

In Memory of Shelby Cowan 

Forget the kitties, who cares?

Shelby was at our house on Thursday, March 13. Christian, her cousin, was sick after Shelby's brothers had been sick. If I remember right, she made fun of him.

Then Caitlin went to her house to walk with her to school Friday morning, but she was sick then too....And that afternoon, Caitlin checked on her before coming home, and Shelby was sooooo sick Friday night.

And then she died.

By 3:15 PM on 3/15-09, she was pronounced dead.

We believe she had diabetes.

We also think she took Guido with her because Guido, the Daring Hamster, went with her.

I'm pretty sure that for this forum ... which she was so familiar with ... Shelby would love to be known as SHELBY THE SHIT.

Soooooo. Shelby the Shit took Guido the Daring Hamsta on a grand new adventure...to Heaven.

And that's all I have to say about that, except that faithful Gangsta Pet followers should know...Guido, the Daring Hamsta accompanied Shelby the Shit to Heaven on March 15, 2009, and I'm pretty sure that was exactly as she would have it be....because, otherwise, she would have had to meet God alone - and Guido helped her on her way.

This video is explanation enough. But.............

no words can express the loss we feel...........

All I can say to any viewers is that the simplicity of life that Shelby ....... and even Guido..... enjoyed....well, it should be cherished and videotaped and photographed and cherished every moment of every day.

And I pray that it is. And Was. And Forever Will Be.

In Memory of Shelby Cowan

Shelby was a lot of things to a lot of people. To Caitlin, she was a constant. A constant cousin, neighbor, classmate, and friend - a staple - the perfect compliment to her and her brother, Christian. Caitlin captured over 200 pictures of Shelby one day in January - six weeks before Shelby suddenly died. Catie and Shelby didn't usually take pictures of the things they did together, and when I asked Caitlin about why she took these pictures, she just said that the light coming through the trees and the snow was so beautiful...so she took pictures of it with her cell phone. She said she just kept snapping pictures .... and that "Shelby was acting so weird that day." Flipping through those photos made me feel the need to create this video. It's the hardest thing in the world to watch. I'm not sure whether it should be published, but somehow there's something comforting about it. It sort of fell together....I started with a song that made me feel the way I felt when I scrolled through Caitlin's pictures....and I added just a fraction of those pix....I threw a fade in between them....and finished it with the face of Shelby we all miss and love. So many parts just fell together without effort...and even though this is not an easy video to watch, several people said it somehow helped. And so, it's published. But, that was so Shelby.

CRAZY CAT LADY SURFACES IN SUBURBAN CINCINNATI! 

"Cats must go" says exhausted mom!

So all of you Gangsta Pet followers are surely aware that no new news has been posted in more days than is acceptable round here...but not to fret, our undercover agents have discovered what the SuperBunny and his cohorts have been up to....about six feet of kitty litter!

A very frightened birdie has informed us that Killer Cali, King Kitten, and a newly-named Remi Cat (aka "Minnie") have been initiated into the Gangsta Pets! Apparently, the stupid humans fell in love with these newcomers and were insanely blind-sided by another litter of mischevious newcomers on July 31st.

....Enter Boston Wags, Kissimmee the Fast Cat, and some others that couldn't be properly named due to a lack of originality on the part of the Stupid Humans. Hence, "Baby Remi," "Mini King," and "Remi King" have also been introduced to Vinnie the SuperBunny, Joey the Fat (and extremely agitated and grumpy) Cat, and Guido the Oblivious Hamsta.

Photobucket

Despite rumors to the contrary, we have exclusive proof that these kittens are NOT make-believe, photo-shopped duplicates of King, Cali, Mickey, and Remi. Nope, folks, here lies the proof that "Baby Remi" is NOT the real Remi....

Photobucket

Photobucket

...and despite the uncanny resemblance, a scrutinizing eye can plainly see that looks can be deceiving....

Photobucket
Photobucket

(NOTE: We are on the watch for what appears to be a trend with these Gangstas - apparently, Joey the Fat Cat has managed to infiltrate the keen psyche of Cali the Ferocious Beast and has taught her his overreating habits - we'll be keeping an eye out for a sneaky Cali the Fat Cat transformation!)

We quickly responded to allegations that one of the new kitties was quickly gaining on Cali's status as ferocious beast. While it is true that Baby Remi showed early signs of overthrowing Cali, (largely due to this paparazzi picture released early on)...

Photobucket

... not to fear! We've discovered Cali has grown into a gargantuan kitten killer, attacking mini-cats, planning her daily escape to the side gardens of he**...heck...and clawing her captors when they dare to herd her not-so-runt butt back to the house! Check out her newfound skills below, as she attacks and maims a poor defensive Boston Wags the Puppy Cat!

Photobucket

Unfortunately, we've heard that Boston Wags left the clan and had to run all the way to the Carolinas to escape the notorious Gangstas. The humilating truth is that Boston turned out to be a girl and is now called Cookie and living with some freaky Halloween kitty named Monster in North Carolina. Oh, the humiliation...Cookie Monster?Here, he-she shows his attitude problem just days before he fled the scene...

Photobucket

Mini King has also reportedly defected from the tribe and can be found defending his territory some blocks away from the rest of the gang in previously unclaimed territory. Apparently, there was some sort of scandal between he and Guido, with allegations that the kitty attempted to imitate the one and only Guido the Daring Hamsta and high-jacked his ride. Apparently, that didn't go over well - Mini King turned out to be a girl, too. (Which, by the way, offers another fascinating secret - so is the real King!!!)

Photobucket

All that remains are three lonely souls who must find a home before the Crazy Cat Lady goes ballistic and throws them to the wolves or the Scratching Post - whichever accepts them first!

Little Kissimmee the Fast Cat and Remi King don't seem too daunted by the possibility...

Photobucket

And Kissimmee clearly doesn't miss many cat naps, as you can see...

Photobucket

However, Remi King continues to fear that he will also be deemed a girl (despite the number of times he has been told he absolutely is NOT a girl and plainly has nothing to fear.)

Photobucket

But never fear, Remi, Cali, and a gender-confused King seem to be sleeping soundly in the knowledge that soon the little monster wanna-be Gangsta cats will be gone. (Though some of the household members will be missing them sorely.)

THIS JUST IN!!! 

Remarkable breakthrough in truce negotiations!

It seems that Cali the Runt has proven herself to be Cali the Ferocious Beast. After two days of tense negotiations, we believe that Joey the Fat Cat has seen the uselessness of our new arrivals and is determined to prove he is not at all miffed by their existance.

Here, Cali and Joey appear to be sharing some sort of friendly acknowledgment....

Photobucket

Photobucket

However, even after the negotiations moved to the floor, the Ferocious Beast proved that she is, in fact, a formidable enemy to a Fat Cat seventy-two times her size...

KING KITTEN (note: despite the uncanny resemblance, our fixed Fat Cat Joey did not father these beauties)

CALI THE CUTEST RUNT KITTY IN THE WORLD

Photobucket

MICKEY THE MIGHTY CAT

Photobucket

AND MINNIE THE MEOW-FACER (making her debut with Ashley the Punk Brat):

Photobucket

As of today, there seems to be no hope for any sort of truce between Joey the Fat Cat and any of the new gangstas, so full group photos don't seem likely to happen anytime soon!

SCROLL DOWN TO READ THE FIRST FEW CHAPTERS IN THIS STORY OF KELCI'S GANGSTA PETS AND WATCH FOR UPDATES AS WE COMPLETE CONSTRUCTION!

Meet Joey 

This....
....is our fat cat, Joey.

Photobucket

His fave activities include: eating, sleeping, looking as cute as possible, and biting people who dare to touch him.

Contrary to popular belief, Joey does not make for the best lap kitty.

Photobucket

Meet Guido 

Photobucket

This.....
....is Guido.

Guido's fave activities are eating, sleeping, looking as cute as possible, and trying not to get eaten by Joey.

Photobucket

Now, contrary to popular belief, not all Joeys want to eat Guidos.

Photobucket

Some Joeys find Guidos to be more like interesting toys than food.

Photobucket

And this Joey happens to think this particular Guido is mostly like a little brother....

Photobucket

...albeit a gross, annoying little brother.

Photobucket

Guido doesn't particularly make for a good lap pet, either.

Photobucket

Meet Vinnie 

Now, even though Joey and Guido provide hours of entertainment, they seem more interested in themselves than in being good, faithful, loving pets.

And, so, along came Vinnie.

Photobucket

Vinnie's fave activities include: eating, sleeping, pooping, running, jumping, chasing Joeys, thumping Guidos, eating remote control buttons and electrical cords, chewing on walls and doors, and scratching the be-jeezus out of anyone who dares to hug him.

Oh, and lazing about.

Photobucket
Photobucket
Photobucket

A lot.

Vinnie also enjoys digging for goldfish...

Photobucket

...hangin' out, watching T.V....

Photobucket

...and eating things in Daddy's garden.

Photobucket

And anything made of paper that he can get his teeth around.

Photobucket

Vinnie meets Joey 

Now, as you can imagine, most Joeys tend not to love things that look as though he should eat them but that he is not permitted to eat. Obviously, Joey wasn't exactly happy with his new bunny friend and did not understand why we felt that he was lacking in the area of giving good kitty lovin's.

After much persuasion, however, the two of them finally came to an agreement.

Photobucket

We believe the terms of their truce include personal boundary space that, if violated, can result in retribution at any time. There also seems to be some sort of treaty that allows Joey to open doors to provide Vinnie with forbidden access to bedrooms and basement. It does appear, however, that communications occasionally break down since Vinnie seems to find himself locked in closets from time to time. (Though Joey does stand guard, meowing loudly with hopes of getting his bunny friend in trouble.)

Photobucket

Although we continue to witness periods of upheaval and jealous bouts of bad bunny or bad kitty behavior, we believe the two have begun to understand one another for now.

Photobucket

Check back soon as the saga will be continued.....
