Wordless (almost) Wednesday

It is really Madi's house...she lets us live here because we pay the mortgage.

Madi gives up....

Madi: I'm so sorry you lost all my pictures stored on the 'puter, but please no more flashing light tonight. My eyes have glazed over.

'I give up' !!!!!

Mom: Thanks to everyone out in blog world for the suggestions of how I might retrieve my pictures....we're weighing our options. Main one being Mom's ability to carry out the instructions w/o totally ruining the 'puter.

Mom said to tell you she is an idiot!!!!

Somehow (we suspect serious operator error) Mom deleted all of the pictures of Me on the 'puter....she is very angry at herself. Once she stops beating herself on the head, she'll get busy building up another folder of pictures.

Today's picture is of a Crepe Myrtle tree in our neighbor's yard. It is very heat tolerant and loves July and August in NC.

Madi and the Village Idiot

North Carolina Crime Scene Investigator

There has been a crime in Raleigh..
Victims: Mom and Dad

Special Agent in Charge: SA Madi
6am: SA Madi: Dad what is the problem

Dad: we have no newspaper

6:30am:Dad calls the News & Observer to report no paper...N&O we are very sorry for the inconvenience...we'll have one specially delivered shortly

7am: SA Madi stakes out the driveway by sitting on the bed in the front bedroom (comfort 1st)

7:30-8:30am: SA Madi reports no activity

8:45am: SA Madi bellows I hear it, the special delivery is coming.....Mom/Dad it is a big truck...Wow that is special....

8:46am: Dad goes running to check out the truck....we find this outside our house. Dad says no SA Madi that isn't the special delivery of the great News and Observer that is the Grease Monster Truck it has come to clean out the sewer...however, it is quite appropriate, with this lack of service, N&O is headed down the sewer

9:00am: Dad calls N&O again.....this is a family blog I cannot write what he said...but he was not happy.

9:45am: still no paper......SA Madi can only offer this advice

JUST SAY NO TO THE N&O

SA Madi over and out....nap time

PS 1 pm the (morning) paper arrived at 12:30!!!!!?????

We won an Award....

I received and award from Millies House and what an honor. Thank you to all the new friends we have at Millies House.

The translation for the award is "Your Blog is a Dream"

The rules of this award are to give seven beauty secrets and then pass it on to seven bloggers. This is award is for male and female cats and dogs.

Madi's beauty secrets tips are.

1. Every girl knows we must brush our coat/hair daily.

2. My Mom always tells me when my eyes are a little dirty and offers to clean them

3. I have a fresh water fountain that intices me to drink lots of water

4. My daily diet is 1/4 can of Fancy Feast (no more no less) a day. It gives me just enough oil for a glistening coat and and I also get 2/3 cup of Natural Choice dry cat food. This keeps my teeth very clean.

5. I keep my girlish figure by jumping to and fro all day and my litter box is on the 2nd level so I dash up and down about 20 stairs

6. Diva status also requires at least 20 hours of rest a day

7. My biggest beauty secret is my MOM she takes very good care of me and gives me lots of TLC

I'd like to pass on this award to
My dog friends:
Daily Dose of Jack (Jack a boy as handsome as you has secrets)
Dog Daze (Sassy a natural blonde... I know you have secrets...and those studs Zack and Buddy must too)
Dory's Backyard (Dory you are a natural blonde so do tell
Hood's Happenings Billy what is your secret
Cat Friends:
House of Cats Such a pretty bunch
Huffle Mawson Huffle is the parsley pot your secret
Kool-Kitties-Krew just met you guys but I know you have secrets

Huckleberry Hill (honorary award to Gizzy and his Mom..they are away right now)

Thank you again Millie and family...Glad you are all feeling better
Madi and Mom
