The Salvage Yard

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

We were looking for an old jalopy, so we went to the salvage yard to see what we could find.

Came across this old model.


Checked him out close up.


And checked him out from all sides.




Decided that even though he needed a little work, he had a good frame and was basically healthy, so we took him. Had to wake up the secretary to pay for him,


Took him home to what we call “the sick bay.�

(This is our foyer. Good thing we don’t have too much company!)

Every morning we put him in one of the “repair bays� and work on him a bit.

(attached this since it shows a needle in Tubby and some people might be “sensitive�)

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

So here is our work in progress. He’s looking better and better everyday.



Still needs some work, but he’s coming along just fine.


Turns out the secretary wanted to come home with us too, so we turned her into a nurse instead.


She worked so hard that she decided to take another nap. I think we got a good jalopy in the black one, but this secretary/nurse I’m not so sure about with all these naps she takes.

What a fabulous old model! Thats no jalopy... they just don't make 'em like that anymore!

Kisses to you sweet Tubby. Glad to hear that you're feeling better already.

Kind of like "Overhaulin" or "Pimp My Ride" for kitties???

[kt_luvs_kitties]

Aww Tubby, you look like you feel SOSOSO much better!!! *smiling from ear to ear* And your secretary/nurse is looking oh so cute as well. I am sure with all of the attention you are getting from your meowmie/daddy and Peanut, you will be as good as new SOON! I will keep praying for you, and have your meowmie give you a tiny kiss from me WE LOVE YOU TUBBY!!! GET WELL SOON!!!

Boy I would take an old jalopy like that any day.

Tubby, looking good there fella. Prayers still on the way that you continue to do so.

What great pictures and captions.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Oh drat, for some reason the attached picture of the old jalopy being worked on didn't attach. So here it is. It's not that bad, but open at your own risk if your "sensitive."

Oh Debbie...I can relate. I just love the older models and the "fixer-uppers". When the work is all done and they are happy and running fine, it's so satisfying.

Kisses to you Tubby and scritches to you Peanut.

[kt_luvs_kitties]

Aww Tubby, I know it hurts when your meowmie has to work on you, but I am sure you are on your best behavior, knowing that meowmie loves you enough to do that for you. Kisses to your boo boo spot. Get better soon TuBBY!

I think it's not a jalopy, it's a vintage model in a quality you seldom see.

So happy you found a good mechanic

Seriously: he looks great and his nurse is adorable

[karyn674]

It’s pretty obvious, that Tubby is feeling better & I know why!

With the assistance of such a nurse, bearing those eyes is hard for him not to feel any better

Hehe! Good one Debbie. Thanks!

[catlover4ever]

Oh Debbie, boy those old jalopies just hte best!!!!!

Tubby looks like you have a wonderful nurse in Peanut and are you ever lucky to have a meowmie and paw-paw who love you sooo much.

Debbie please give Tubby a nice chin rub for me.

[Edwina's Secretary]

I can't believe how good he looks! Not a day over 10! A cute nurse always helps...

[Vermontcat]

That's not an old jalopy, that's a "Classic" model in mint condition!
Those are worth a lot these days! Priceless even!
I wonder where I can find one like that.
Oh yeah, that's right, I already have one of my own.
She's a different make and model with less miles on her but a Classic for sure.

I'm glad that you still have your sense of humor after all you and Tubby have been through lately.

Ok Debbie I wanna know which salvage yard you're shopping at because I want to grab me an old jelopy myself.
