SURPRISES IN THE MAIL

Last week we won a random drawing hosted by Jack and TG  from Daily Dose of Jack.  They were to celebrating the first year anniversary of Jack's book, 
Jack, A book about a dog who doesn't die at the end.
If you haven't read it, click on the Daily Dose of Jack link above to find out how to get your very own copy.

Mom  also ordered a very special handmade 'project bag' for her crochet projects, from Ms. Cindy and Nina, from  
Bird Brains and Dog Tales
Ms. Cindy is one of  the very talented quilters who made the 
Fearless Five Quilt for the Pittie Pack click here to see the quilt.
LO AND BEHOLD both packages arrived yesterday.
We know you all want to read all about both packages .....
SO
Grab your fav beverage and a power  bar. This will be a long post. 
I was napping in my upstairs sun puddle when I was rudely when I heard boxes being torn and paper rattling.
Of course I had to investigate

Let me just say right now my peeps are addicted to the PBS Series
DOWNTON ABBEY.  To say Mom was happy when she found out she won the Downton Abbey book from Jack...would be an understatement.  I just hope  she takes a break from reading it at my din-din time.
I wanted to find out what all the hype is about so I examined the book from front
 to back
 I was caught with my head in the book reading a chapter

 until I heard more commotion so I turned my attention back to 
Mom.
She was admiring the project bag and the cute gray kitty with the pink nose holding a crochet hook
 The inside of the bag is lined with kitties playing with yarn 
 OH MY STARS Ms. Cindy did you know there was a mouse in the
package?
 Don't worry I took charge by popping him with my left hook.
 When he feel to the floor, I realized he was full of nip.
Mom tried to pick him up until she saw my
'don't even think about touching it, back away from the cat look"

I put the bitey face on him so he could not get away
 then I gave him my a few bunny kicks with my powerful
back feet until he hollered "uncle"!!
 I paused for a moment to give mom my best nip induced smile for the flashy beast.
When all of a sudden he tried to escape again.
I had to use my head to wrestle him into submission.  
I'm happy to report  he is now behaving like a mouse in a cat house should behave....submissive!!
Mom and I thank Jack and TG and Ms. Cindy and Nina
for making our Thursday afternoon fun and exciting
Hugs Madi and Mom

  4. How lucky are you to get a mousie treat. Looks like you had a lot of fun with your new friend. Mummy has never seen Downtown Abbey, but its very popular. Maybe one day she will sit still long enough to watch an episode :)xx

  5. Looks like the postman had a load to deliver to your house today. It's lucky you were around when the mouse popped out of the bag, someone had to show him how to behave in a kitty house. Our mom hasn't seen Downtown Abbey but maybe she will check it out.

    We will definitely be at your party Madi, we wouldn't miss it for anything.

  7. OMD what a day for you Miss Madi. I love all the pictures of you. My favorite is "back away from the cat" and "cat nip", but I love them all and happy for you that you got cool stuff. I am so excited about your birthday that I am doing a happy dance, I know you can't see it but really I am. Is there anything special I can bring to the party. My Mom bakes really good treats with salmon in them . Just let us know and I will be there on my best behavior.

  22. Madi, normally I no is a huge fan of kitties, since I has an orange one who lives in MY house and thinks he came here before I did (that may be true, but still, it is MY house). But clearly you is a brave and fearless kind of kitty, and those is important things to be! If you lived in my house, maybe I no would even bark at you! Maybe.

    Also, I lives in the NC piedmont too! Maybe we has even met before. If that is the case, I apologizes belatedly for chasing you, for I no had a knowledge for how dignified you is.

  26. Goodness, that sure was a fun and terrific Thurs. for you two. That book looks so good. We will need a review MOm. Now that little bag is the cutest darn thing we have seen. And it had a mouse in it too. What a thoughtful mouse to hide away in the bag so he could come visit you Madi. Sure looks like you took care of that stowaway mouse. Loved the pictures. Take care.

  30. Madi, I am so worried about our Remington. Please let me know if you hear anything as I am sure Beth is too busy to contact everyone. I know that you have known my sweet boy for a long time. Mommy is saying prayers and I am crossing paws and going on an emergency magic bubble trip.

    Loveys and nervous

  31. Wowzers, Madi and Mom, great items. The bag is so very nice, handmade items are always so much nicer. Nina's mom does beautiful work. And Madi, that little mouse looks like so much fun for you - a little nip inside maybe?

    Have a delightful weekend.
