Monday Meowsie News

Hiya! Savannah Here!

Hmmmm…not sure where to start…a really, really busy weekend…so Mom didn’t have time to help me get around to hardly any furriends, so I am very sorry I have been missing from your comment queues. Hope I get to show up later today and Tuesday for sure.

I have been really enjoying having our gas fireplace on. Our living room is kind of small, so my end of the couch is right next to it…and I can sit and stare, make my biskits, and have Mom give me a pet now and then…I just sort of get entranced (VBP) by the flickering and warmth…I just stare, and stare…and if Mom reaches over and touches me…I get startled and let out a loud YEOWIE chirpy sound…makes Dad and Mom smile…

…I like to watch the fire, and listen to the TV…and think about how fortunate I am to have this home…I start making biskits just thinking about how much difference a year has made for me…

…then I make myself so drowsy (VBP)…I have to try to sit up…or I fall asleep too fast…

…then I think, what the heck…I earned this nice warm blue afghan, pretty fire and all this love…so then I settle back down again…

…and finally give it up…zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…

Now I do have something VERY IMPAWTANT TO SHARE…BUT NO PHOTOS…SORRY…

Saturday night…Mom was already asleep…and I was next to her…

Then Dad came to bed and was lying on his back with his used iPad (he has the one I used to have, then Mom bought me the new one with the camera and all…so I gave Dad my old one)…he downloaded the Kindle App and was reading a book…the iPad doesn’t make as much light as the Kindle light so as to not wake Mom.

I looked over at Dad…and there was this nice flat place in his middle…and without thinking much about it…I got up and moved over…gave his middle a test with one paw…I had to make sure nothing would like sink in or anything…

Then…I GOT UP ON DAD’S TUMMY AND LAID DOWN!!!!!…JUST FOR A MINUTE…KIND OF A TEST RUN…so to speak…Dad was so stunned he didn’t breathe!!!

And, because Mom and Dad were gone all day yesterday…when I sat on the couch with Mom last night, I came right over to her…I didn’t stay at the other end. Maybe absence does make the heart grow fonder???

That’s all I have for today…but I think that last thing was a really big deal…my mentor and furriend Sammy always said I would just do something like that one day…

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

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…
