Pot Luck Friday #8...Pack Power

Mom and I are really going to stir up the pot today...we're going to answer

a question many of my kitty friends have asked?

"Madi why do you love K9's so much"?..

Well scroll down for the answer.....

I, Madi, am a member of

THE North Carolina State University WOLFPACK.

My love of K9's was inherited from Mom and Dad
Today Mom and I are sharing some very pretty pictures of Carter Finley Stadium aka

WOLFPACK COUNTRY

(you may click to enlarge any of these pictures)

I wish everyone could see these magnificent Wolf sculptures. This is actually a fountain

but due to our very long, hot and dry summer we are conserving the water.

The next picture explains what each Wolf sculpture represents.


Mr. Dick Idol is the artist and a NC native and a former NCSU football legend.

We have lots of NCSU PRIDE in Mr. Idol's artistic abilities!!!

This will tell you a little bit about Wolfpack Turf

Thank you for coming by for Pot Luck Friday.
Madi and Mom

Thursday Theme Song #2

Today's Thursday Theme Song is

'Have You (N)Ever* Been Mellow'

Song by the Lovely:Olivia Newton-John

Lyrics by JohnFarrar

There was a time when I was in a hurry as you are, I was like you

There was a day when I just had to tell my point of view, I was like you
Now I don't mean to make you frown

No, I just want you to slow down...

Have you ever been Y(m)ELLOW

Have you ever let someone else be strong

Running around as you do with your head up in the clouds, I was like you

Have you ever had time to lay back, kick your shoes off

close your eyes, I was like you. Now you are not hard to understand

You need some one to take your hand

Have you ever been mellow????

We thank Hootin' Anni for sponsoring this fun day.
*While looking for the lyrics we saw both 'never' and 'ever'....

Wednesday Madi 'Mood' eyes & Harley update

Blue eye, green eye why two colors in one picture????

Gold eyes taken directly after the picture above different angle
They reflect the many moods of Madi
UPDATE ON HARLEY:

Mom and I thank you all for your kind wishes and thoughts for Harley....I, Madi, do love him from afar and want him well!!! Good news the worst thing they feared was not an issue...it would not have been treatable. He does have a pretty aggravating digestive issue in the early stages called megacolon but there is a new med they will try to help control that.

His liver and kidneys look good too. Now to get the little guy to gain some weight.

He seems to be digesting canned food much better than kibble so for now and until he puts on some weight that will be his food of choice. Mom and I think Harley paid the Vet to tell his Mom that she really doesn't like the smell of canned food. MOL!!!

AND the best news is Harley has another entire fanny club up here at this VET...they all think he is adorable.

Thanks again for your good wishes.

Madi and Mom

MOM MAY I....

PRETTY PLEASE, WITH SUGAR & CREAM & KITTY CAT KISSES

BORROW THE CAR

TO GO SHOPPING...I NEED SOME STUFF.... YES I'LL USE ALL THE DISCOUNT THINGIES ON THE KEY RING AT ALL THE APPROPRIATE STORES

AND I'LL BE VERY CAREFUL TO KEEP MY PAWS ON THE KEYS AT ALL TIMES

IS THAT A YES???

THANK YOU. I'LL WEAR MY SEAT BELT AND ONLY PUT ONE PAW ON THE

ACCELERATOR!!

NOTE FROM MADI TO ALL MY BFFs: WHOOPEE...Be waiting on the curb...I'll swing by all of your homes as per our previous arrangement. Shhhhh don't tell your moms. I'll be sure you all get home before breakfast.

Update on Madi and Harley (written Monday afternoon).

Harley (and his peeps) had a very long and unpleasant trip to Raleigh. Harley gets car sick. Harley's mom was very prepared though. He was in his big travel carrier and they were able to switch him to another carrier. Due to is digestive issues they could not use any meds to help with the carsickness. As soon as they got him settled in his room we left him to rest and catch up on his eating.As of this writing there has not been a face to face meeting. Madi has, however, been kind enough to sit has his door and hiss at him. Harley's doctor's appt. is tomorrow at 10 am in Cary.We hope and pray they can find an answer to all of this PRECIOUS little boy's issues.

We love this sweet little guy to bits!!! Even after all he has been through over the last 2 months his disposition is 200% delightful Cornish Rexness!!!
