Madi: Penguin Awarenesss Day

Wednesday,January 20, is Penguin Awareness Day.
As you can see from my laser eyes, I'm trying to be aware......

Noticing when looking for Penguins, two different color laser eyes are needed.
Penguins around the world, may the force be with you!!!

Note:Mom had to post early today, since she will be away from her
'puter at our normal posting time.

Madi: Sometimes Mom calls me......

Madi....or Mads

but most times she calls me

Bunny Rabbit

I

wonder why

99% of the time when Madi is on her back, her feet are in this rabbit pose.

And boy are they as soft as a cotton tail too

Madi: Mom and Dad's latest project as I saw it

This is a picture of a new print Mom and Dad gave each other for Christmas. Dad picked it up from the frame house last week. They have been wanting something to hang over the door into our family room...it is perfect.

Now to tell you how it got way up there and what it took to get it there.

Here I am watching the process from afar.

Here is the rest of the story:
I just love it when Mom and Dad have projects.
The spot where I'm sitting is normally in the way of foot traffic; however, today

it is the safest spot and the best place to watch the peeps and I have my mouse to keep me company.

What I'm staring at is Dad preparing to hang the new picture.

Evidently it takes a lot of equipment.

1. ladder

2. hammer

3. level

4. ruler

5. pencil

6. note pad

7. nails and hooks
(items 2-7 are on 'MY' couch thus I'm on the floor)
8. Flashy beast in the capable hands of the Mom

Why so much equipment you ask? Well Dad is very precise when he hangs pictures and there is no room for error (Mom's exact words).

Mom has the flash beast out because she knows there will be good photo opts......
Mom did promise Dad she would not take any pictures of Dad!!!???
I'm not to sure about the ladder so I decided to keep my distance.

Madi one curious kitty cat and Dad you did a great job!!!

According to Mom's Whimsical Calendar, there are not special days until early next week.

Madi: Saturday Scents..........

Mom left home earlier than usual this morning to pick up my

Heartgard from our Vet.

When she got home, she was ranting and raving about

the new resident cat they have at the Vet's office. His name is

Tootles. Mom did not have the flashy beast with her but she said

not to worry she had something better.

She put her purse in front of me... telling me Tootles had left me some

'smell mail'......

(Side note if you enlarge this below picture you'll notice I have one

hot pink eye. Maybe from the reflection of the pink in Mom's purse)

One sniff and I knew exactly where the alien had been...

Mom said her purse was open and Tootles stuck his head down in the very same
spot. She thought it was wonderful that I was doing the same thing...
Actually I was hanging my head in total disgust.


After all the smells were investigated and I was sure Tootles did not
come home with Mom, I gave my Heartgard package a sniff and
told Mom next time stick to the task at hand don't bring any
smell mail home to me

PS Many of you have asked what in the world those things were in the bag on yesterday's post.

They are clamps used in woodworking.

Madi: I love Bags....

Oh boy look a paper bag...my 2nd most favorite thing to get into (my box is my favorite).
Whoa this bag is not empty.

What could this be?

Oh my stars look what is in the bag.....do you think I should be worried?

Mom what in the world are these and even more importantly

what are you going to do with them?

Please tell me they have nothing at all to do with the care and grooming of

a Diva Cat!!!!!!!

Note from Mom to Madi: Madi they have nothing to do with your care or grooming
but you best be careful where you stick your nose.

There are no more whimsical days to celebrate until early next week.
