Madi explains why she showed her back

Ok so here is the rest of the story.

If you enlarge this picture, you will see this is an innocent (NOT) paper wrapper from a

skein of yarn...that is until it falls into the hands of a Mom, the

shutter bug. The below pictures are why I had my back

turned to Mom and the flashy monster yesterday

I'm still not sure how/why/when she did this or thought it was a good idea

but I can tell you it happened quickly. It was large enough that

I didn't even know it was there for a nanosecond.
THEN I gave my tail a big swish and off it flew

only to get into her hands again.....Mom put it on my
head over one ear but as you see that didn't last long.

So raise your hand if you agree with my firm stand

yesterday of turning my back to the Mom and the flashy monster!!!

Madi only..I'm still not talking to the Mom and yes Mayzie there will be
demerits for this post. If you haven't met Mayzie, drop by she is one adorable brindle
pooch with lots to talk about.

Madi and Mom present Namesake Day

Happy Tuesday all,

Well according to that Whimsical Calendar today is Namesake Day.

Mom and I thought we'd tell you a little bit about our names.

First of all my Dad told my Mom it was easier to name my human sister than it was me. HA

When they adopted me, I was listed at kitty "M". At first they were not thinking of names that began with M. Mom wanted to name me Clancy, after the very first veternarian, Dr. Clancy, who examined me.....oh thank goodness Dad would not hear of that. He said it reminded him of a great big burly policeman not a sweet gray and white kitten. Then Mom said how about something to do with the color gray, like Gracie, or Ashely or Cinder....Nope none of those would do. Finally, one of them said how about a name beginning with "M".

As far as Mom can remember, there were no other choices as soon as she said

Madison and call her Madi....Dad said GOOD DEAL!!! You would think that was that, but

I cannot begin to tell you how many 'other' names I have.

All of you know she calls me The Diva, then there is Mads or my favorite invented by Dad Madster. Yep I love that name.

So happy day from Madi, the Diva, Mads or Madster.....but never Madison.

Now for Mom's name...(no this isn't my Mom)

This is a statue of St. Cecilia. The story is there were several names being tossed about for my (Madi's) mom before she was born, some were:
Garnet (she was born in January and that is the birthstone), Jan...again for January, Schyler (who knows why and thank goodness this one was not selected).
Thankfully Mom's Mom was reading a novel just before she was born...the Shrine of St. Cecilia was mentioned in the book....and are we all glad none of those other names were selected.

Our best,

Madi and Mom

Madi & Mom present Beer Day

Everyone pop a top on your favorite beverage!! Today is Beer Day according to Mom's
nutzo calendar (Twinkie's/Frankie's words you know that is how LA pups talk)
This is Poon!!! He recently became the newest member in a friend's home.
We are told he is a dynamo bouncing from one piece of furniture to another.
No he is not drinking...just helping hold it for Dad.
Thanks Nancy for the big smile and I send you lots of good wishes as you come to the realization that Poon will train you....you WILL NOT train Poon!!! :-)

Note from Mom and Madi: One of us will be 8 in 10 days.....
