Mom and I, first and foremost, thank JAZZI and her Mom for hosting the 2nd Annual Christmas Exchange!! Jazzi's mom (Ms. D) collected all of the names who wanted to participate threw them in a TACO Shell (MOL) bowl. Then Ms. D painstakingly paired each name with a partner.
the most handsome Yellow LabraPuppy in the entire Southwest was given Madi's name. Jack and his most capable assistant crossed over to the dark side to took on the moumental task of shopping for a FELINE Diva. Our package arrived on December 9th.
Pull up a comfy chair, grab your favorite beverage and some popcorn the unveiling is about to start.
Mom: Oh my stars Madi this is a big, heavy package.
Madi: Do you think maybe Jack is inside!!!??
Mom: Look it is addressed to both of us...that is interesting
Madi: No way, today is all about Moi!!!

NOTE FROM the MOM: For all who are NOT owned by a Cat...you should know they are ALOOF...they don't instantly show
pleasure...that would be beneath them. They like to keep everyone in suspense. That being said...please, patiently, watch this 3 minute
video of Madi and her most delightful gift. (Again, we apologize for the clicking) If you listen carefully, you'll hear a few grateful Meows in the beginning. The funniest part is when Madi accidentally takes part of the top off...then acts like it is going to bite her.
TG and Jack we thank you both very, very much for the thoughtful
gifts!!! She has actually played with it a lot since I took this
Video.
