Thankful Thursday!

Recently we were the lucky winners of a giveaway from our furiends Banjo and his mom Catherine! At first we thought we won a visit from the handsome Banjo but Mommy said he's in Saskatchewan, Canada so it's a little too far for him to come visit. Banjo may not have been able to come here but we did receive some very nice gifts from him and his mom. It all came packaged in a very nice little box...

Hey Angel, what are you doin' whapping that mouse? Leave it alone for the photo shoot!

Okay, I guess I'll first thank Banjo for the mouse he tucked in our package. As you can tell, my sisfur Angel snatched it right away.

While she's playing with the mouse, I'll start showing you the other things in the box since I'm the purrfessional here. There's a cute kitty journal and some beautiful handmade cards from Catherine that Mommy really loves - she's going to frame several of them. And there's also - WAIT A MINUTE! There's another mouse in this little pouch for me!

Sorry I lost my purrfesional-ness for a second but I got so excited! Banjo is so thoughtful to send us both mousies! His mom was very thoughtful too with sending lots of other stuffs for our Mommy!

Banjo, being the gentlecat that he is, also sent my sisfur Sadie a present too!

Sadie didn't hold still long enough to pose for many pictures and snatched her bone as soon as the end of the package was opened...

She loved every last bite!

And me and my sisfur Angel love our mousies too!

We all want to thank you very much Banjo and Catherine for the wonderful gifts to celebrate your 700 posts! We appreciate them and are very grateful and wish you many, many more posts to come! We are so glad that we have met you and think you are both very special!

We've Been Tagged!

We've been tagged with a fun photo tag by our friends Dave, Zim, Stormy and Ammy at the Army of Four and also by Teri from Rainblowflute. The tag is to open our first photo folder, scroll down to the 10th photo, post that photo and tell the story behind it, then tag 5 more bloggers.

Our first photo folder is from 1-3-09 and here is the 10th photo...

The story behind this photo is that my little sisfur Angel started looking out the downstairs window.

My other sisfur Isabella had to come see what she was looking at.

Then Angel left but Isabella kept looking out the window.

Well then I had to come see what she was looking at.

And eventually Isabella left leaving me all alone looking out the window which is the photo we started with today. Everything around here turns into a group project.

This was a fun tag so we're going to pass it on to 5 other bloggers with no obligation to play along although we hope you do! Here are our choices in no particular order:

Khyra from Khyra's Khorner

Rumblepurr and Inigo from Rumblebum

Edi from Memories for Life Scrapbooks

Sparkle and her sisfurs from Sparkle the Designer Cat

Catherine from Corner of a Cat's Mind

Lazy Sunday...

While I'm enjoying a lazy day today...

I'll be dreaming of a handsome mancat named Banjo!

Banjo's mom, Catherine, gave us an award on her blog Corner of Cat's Mind! Thank you so much Catherine, we're very honored! We love your blog cause your posts are always fun and inspiring, your photos are beautiful and Banjo is so adorable!

The rules we must follow in accepting this award are:

1) Thank the person giving the award
2) Copy award to your blog
3) Place a link to their blog
4) Name 7 things people don't know about you
5) Nominate 7 bloggers
6) Place a link to those bloggers
7) Leave a comment on the blog letting them know about the awards

Okay, now for the 7 things people don't know about us. Hmmm, this is tough but here goes:

Me (Angel)
1) I wish I was tall. I love to be picked up so I can see what is on the shelves, on the cabinets, on the top of the closet - everything that is up high is what I want to see.
2) I like to lay on Mommy and Daddy's lap but on my terms. If it's not my idea, it ain't happening.

Isabella
1) I like to lay on Mommy and especially Daddy's lap on any terms. I stay wherever I'm put and can get comfortable and fall asleep in 20 seconds.
2) I'm a "wet noodle" cat. When someone picks me up, my body goes limp so it's like picking up a big wet noodle.

Sadie
1) I am Mommy's shadow. I follow her around the house all the time.
2) I can do what I want to my sisfurs but I don't like them doing the same to me. If they sniff me, I growl. If they touch me, I growl. For some reason they ignore me though.
3) Recently I was told I might have Cushings Disease. I went in to the v-e-t for a blood test before getting my teefs cleaned and the test showed my liver enzymes are high. I have no other symptoms so am under no treatment since the v-e-t says it'd make me sicker. I feel fine and don't act any differently but it upsets my mommy cause she's worried about me.

We can't pick just 7 blogs so consider it given to all of our readers if you'd like to accept!

Hope you enjoyed learning more about us! Thanks again to Catherine for the award!

Have a great Sunday!
