Holiday Gift For My Virtual Brother Boots

Hiya! Savannah Here!

My special furriends, Mistletoe and Hitch, are the only ones who guessed right…indeed (VBP)…my virtual brother Boots, who lives at Blind Cat Sanctuary and Rescue, in North Carolina USA, is the special, special furriend and furramily member who will get that large box for Christmouse!

I helped Mom shop for the 3 things we put in that box.

HOW DID YOU PAY! YOU ALL ASK!!!…heh…heh…it pays to have a friend in a high…well, ok…maybe not ‘high’…but a peep friend who has influence at a high level in an on line cat and dog product company.

In November, Mr Brent and Ms Melissa offered me an opportunity to ‘shop’ on their ‘dime’…at their company, Chewy.com…they gave me a $50 promo code to use as I purrleased. They only asked that I meow a bit about my on line shopping experience …which I will do in a later post. I decided to use part of the promo code moola to get my virtual brother, Boots, his Christmouse gifts to experience how well Chewy could send to one location when being purchased by someone in a different location…so…without any more explanation…

This post is all about BOOTS!

Alright, so I helped Mom shop at Chewy, then we waited…and my package finally arrived and I needed to get it wrapped and off again via postal service so Boots would receive it before Christmouse!

First, I had to make sure that everything was all there…I bought 3 things…I picked a Nip Kickaroo, a nip mouse and a really nice angled cardboard scratcher…I thought he would like to sharpen up his claws for that Kickaroo!!

…then I had to wash my paws…I didn’t want to get anything dirty…I had just had my night noms, so didn’t want to get Fancy Feast on anything…

…next…would it all fit??…first…how long is this Kickaroo??…hmmmm…

…ok, now if I add the Nip Mouse…

…yeah, this is looking pawsome!…next…making sure I have everything I need to complete the package…tape, check; card, check; scratcher, check; scissors, check; Kickaroo and Nip Mouse, check; and wrapping paper, check…

…ok…let’s get going Mom…I have the scissors…let’s do some cutting!!!…

…now…let me make sure that box is going to be OK…I better get inside to check the dimensions (VBP)…

…yup…looking good…oh wait a minute! MOUSES!..I better not leave any smells…let me just do a quik tidy up…

…okey dokey…that about does that…let me just take a look see…ok, ok…not bad…

…I think this box is ready, the gifts are going to fit nicely…my work is done…MOM!!! DAD!!!…

…I am hoping that Miss Alana at Blind Cat Rescue will send me some photos of Boots enjoying his virtual sister’s Christmouse gifts…but…they are really busy…so I’ll let you know…

Hope you visit Chewy.com and let them help you with your own Christmouse gift shopping and more…

Paw pats, Savannah

pee Ess…this is my first ever offer to get something IF I do something…so not sure of protocol…but Chewy.com only asked that I report on my experience of shopping with them on line in exchange for what has amounted to $65 USD and I am not obligated to speak anything but the truth of my experience. I will wait until my last order has been delivered before meowing about my experience. And I am a first time shopper with them having never even known of their existence…seriously…not kidding

About My Christmas Tree Eskimo Ornaments…

Hiya! Savannah Here!

I was enjoying my fireplace and my tree last night…and I got to thinking about something one of my furriends commented about a few days ago…

My furriend Easy commented on my post about my First Furrever Christmas Tree…he noted (VBP) I had “Eskimo ornaments”…and he thought they were cool…

So, I thought I would just tell you all the story behind all our Eskimo ornaments…first, they are just Hallmark…not some handmade, specialty item…but they are special for Mom and Dad and now for me.

The very first one they got, you see, was WON by Mom’s pick of the litter show dog, Crusty…Snowmist’s Upper Crust, AM CH and Canadian CH. He won best in puppy dog class at a practice match and the award was this fun Eskimo ornament..

…of course it was so appropriate (VBP) for a Siberian Husky show match because it had the little boy hugging his Husky. It is ALWAYS the first ornament on our tree…

…here is my long before me Siberian Brother, Crusty…Mom is brushing his tail before showing him…she called him “Bunners” because he always ~~squirmed~~ danced on the grooming table and talked (arwooo wooo) whenever she brushed his tail…

…and he was a winner for sure…

So Dad started to put another Hallmark “Frosty and Friends” ornament in Mom’s stocking each year. They had quite a lot by 2006 or so, the series started in 2000. If you look at the photo, the one Crusty won was dated 1981. Anywho, in 2006, Mom decided to make sure they had ALL the series up to date…and the ones missing, she went searching Ebay for them…

And Mom actually found an original 1980, still in the box with price tag…and all the others they had missed over the years…so now they have the COMPLETE series from 1980 to 2012…that’s the fun story behind our Eskimo ornaments. I hope you enjoyed learning about them Easy!!

Well, I am going to take a nap in my special chair…and think about what to do for tomorrow…oh!! I know!!!

Tomorrow, Sunday…I will tell you who my special package was sent to…heh…heh…

Friday Frolic…and an update

Hiya! Savannah Here!

Well, let me get the “UPDATE” out of the way…it’s about the Blog of the Year 2012 Award. I was fretting (VBP) about not being able to get my award filled after I got my first star from Zena…but Misaki was gracious (VBP) enough to gently remind me…she also passed a star to me early on when this award first appeared…so the UPDATE…

Misaki, passed me the Blog of the Year Award on November 16 and also to Zena…Zena then passed it to me next day..all while Mom was in MEXICO…you know where the mess up comes from, right???

Now really, cross my paws over my heart…this is all Mom’s fault…she was in Mexico and not taking care of keeping my blog sorted out properly…so she MISSED posting that I have my FIRST star from Misaki and my SECOND star from Zena…we lady paw bloggers stick together…and purrlease note that they are both canine furriends…play bows to both.

My Mom even wrote my comment to Misaki:

“Squeeeeee!! A BRAND NEW AWARD AND NEW BLOGS TO VISIT!! Doesn’t get better than this…CONCATULATIONS MISAKI!…OMC! It does get better…YOU PASSED IT TO ME!….thank you ever so much…I know there are a kazillion others who are so deserving….runs off to make list to pass the award along…..how fun is this award!! Woo Hoo, paw pats, Savannah”

…but did she text me so I could keep the record straight??? Noooooo!!

So, I have FIVE and Sammy left me a comment giving me my Sixth!! DONE

Ok…on to the FROLICS FOR FRIDAY…and it involves what???…YES! My Peacock Feather!!

…What Mom???…Oh, sure…I have time to play with you…let me just finish up my workout here on the step…OK…let’s go…

…I like to keep up my precise paw coordination by sometimes going for the feather blind…keeping my head in the tunnel to see if I can still hit the feather…

…then I get Mom to run it under my Nip ‘N Nap Mat…so I can go for the feather even when it is hidden…sometimes I have to put the bitey on the mat ‘cuz it doesn’t cooperate…

…then I do my kill face to scare the feather…

…that usually does it…the feather is then dedded…just sayin’…I am one expert Peacock Feather killer…hear me ROAR!!!…heh…heh

One last thing…remember yesterday I gave a little teaser about a special Christmas package I was helping Mom wrap up…well no one guessed right so far about who that package is for…so here is the hint from yesterday…

…remember?…here is another one…

…I challenge everyone to guess who this special package is for…and there is more…see that box? That’s the one I used to send it. I will tell the WHOLE story on Sunday…bet’cha NO ONE gets it right…unless you have been paying attention to the special furriend in my life…

Paw pats, Savannah
