DEAR BLOGVILLE

ANGEL JAZZI'S MOM RECEIVED THE FOLLOWING EMAIL

FROM JANET A FRIEND OF SWEET WILLIAM AND LEE'S

"Hi I am a friend of Lee's, I am house sitting and taking care of SWTS.  Lee has been in the hospital since Monday afternoon and is very sick.  She really needs the POP.  The Lupus has attacked her ears and has affected her balance and hearing.  She has no since of balance. 

Maybe you can get this out and get the Power of the Paw going for her.  William misses her terribly.  At this time she doesn't know what is going to happen"

Mom has Sw. William The Scot's POBox if you would like to send Lee some snail mail prayers...please send us an email to:

TOWN HALL MEETING

Dear Citizens of Blogville

I am proud to be the Cat-er-ator for the highly anticipated Mayoral Town Hall meeting is finally here.  We ask that you put on your thinking caps, go potty and grab beverage before you come into the meeting.  Jumpin' Catfish it has been a most exciting, confusing and down right funny road we have traveled to get to this day.  The cyber space between my home on the Southern East Coast to The Idaho Pug Ranch, Dory's Backyard and Murphy and Stanley's 'hood was full of static and gremlin geeks and who knows what all. One minute we had 17 wonderful questions and all of a sudden kaput they were in bits and pieces just plan crazy.  When I told the Dory, Murphy, Stanley and the management teams about the bizarre encrypted messages, they all said NO WORRIES we are PROFESSIONALS we will handle it.  So dear friends...the next thing you read will be a conglomeration (20.00 campaign word) of what I received. The candidates have agreed to  address the mess with with smiles on their faces and a bit of mischief in their eyes.
Sincerely Mayoress Madi(son)D. Cat

Crazy mess of bits and pieces of what we turned into a paragraph for the Candidates.

"How do we make blogville a funnier place. I got sprayed by a skunk and I feel bad. If there were more trees in blogville I could have gotten away. Are the plans for more fire hydrants? May we fire our Pee shooters at those Isis?  Can we have a no bath policy? bawhaha If not, we need to at least outlaw furstealers, other than Frankie and Madi. I can't drive and Mom works late...I hear there at a CAT bus in Madi's home town it serves as outreach for the feline community. What are your thoughts on nipping cats in the bud? Should cats be allowed to roam willy nilly like tree rats?  Can we build a big jail for squirrel thugs or better still fly to the moon?  How many cookies are appropriate treats? Do you have a plan to keep cherry bombs away from my handsome Murphy when he is on jury duty?  Oh and last but not least when is the next pawty and how can we misfits find dates?"  
Thank you to everyone who submitted questions...we hope we got the best bits and pieces of each question.

MURPHY AND STANLEY

Our platform:  We think that Blogville is a wonderful place.  However, we feel that collectively the citizens need to further explore the various ways in which we all can gather and get to know each other.  When the citizens really care about each other, that's what makes it the bestest place ever.  And of course the best way to accomplish this is to discover areas of interest and do fun thingies together.

Thank you Mayoress.  We feel confident that we can thoroughly address your most excellent questions.  Ahem . . . here we go.  With everyone working towards the same goal and smelling rather ripe, the skunks won't make anyone feel bad.  Sometimes there aren't enough big trees for the larger monkeys to have a place to climb so we might want to consider making climbing walls with bars and ropes to swing from.  Peeing on the wall would be frowned upon in most circumstances unless of course our Public Safety Departments needed help with extra fire protection.  Combating ISIS is a tough problem but we are sure that giving them baths would keep them away.  For extra protection we could request Blogville males over the age of 2 to volunteer for guard duty and use their pee shooters against anyone who tries to invade Blogville or otherwise perpetrate an act of terrorism.  All citizens should be able to drive Subarus when wearing fur coats and seat belts.  Anyone caught stealing a fur coat will be subjected to strict fines (or possibly worse) as determined by the Blogville Justice Courts.  Cats should be welcome on all buses, just as much as dogs, and not required to ride on top. Squirrels are not allowed on buses but will be welcomed under the tires of all moving buses. All brands of nip should be served in all Blogville restaurants.  Bud will not be permitted to hold a monopoly.  In order to maintain social order, cats do need to keep their willies under control.    Cookies will be the new vegetable and all residents should have a well balanced diet including 4-6 servings of vegetable cookies each day.  Anyone caught throwing cherry bombs or any other incendiary device at Murphy, (or any other resident), will be subjected to immediate arrest and permitted to date only misfits.  Now, let's all pawty!

We hope you find our answers reflective of the clear vision we have for the future of Blogville.

Sincerely, 

The Doodz 

Mayor Madi's ice breaker question for the Doods

MURPHY AND STANLEY

1.If I had an alter ego I would be.......

We recently discovered that we had hidden super powers that were released when we put on our Super Dog costumes.  We are the SUPER DOODZ.  We are just starting to learn the amazing powers we possess.  We will use our powers to fight crime and suppress evil. We are sure these amazing powers will be an asset in the Mayor's office.  2.I would like to give this piece of random advice....

Teach your hoomans to look for the goodness in everyone they meet.  This comes natural to us doggies but it might be a new thingie for your pawrents.  Oh, and never pass up a chance to play fetch.  That is very impawtent.

DORY

Good Afternoon Blogville!!! 

I would like to take this chance to tell you a bit about myself! Besides being a cute white Lhasa with natural curly hair, I also love the color pink! I have three brothers Bilbo (my grumpy campaign manager), Jakey (my BBF, ”Best Brother Forever,” and Campaign Speech Writer) and the little Squirt Arty (my Press Secret-Arty). My *alter ego, or what my Mama calls the “Before NorCal Dory”,  just loved to chase squirrels up trees when we lived in Texas. I was SO good at chasing them and taught my brothers to be ALMOST as good as me that when the squirrels heard that we were moving up to Northern California they all ran to the top of the Redwood trees to hide….we haven’t seen one since we moved up here. Now a days I keep watch for squirrels part-time and model for Mama the rest of the time. My goal as mayor is to keep all of Blogville as close, or closer, than we are now!

Now on the wonderful and immmmmm interesting questions we received…..Let’s see if I can cover this as efficiently and quickly as possible….

Yes….Yes….Definitely…Cat should be tutored not nipped; but nip should be given liberally to all kitties.….Kitties should be able to roam, but only with their humans permission…..I am in favor of squirrel jails, but I would much rather see training classes held for squirrel patrol….Cookies should be given freely with no restrictions…..I am looking forward to an election day pawty! I believe we may need to appoint a community matchmaker to the cabinet!

Mayor Madi's Ice breaker question for Dory was included

in her opening statement.  She answered

If I had an alter ego......*

VOTING WILL TAKE PLACE AT SARGE'S BLOG

PLEASE TELL ALL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT THIS MOST IMPORTANT TOWN HALL MEETING.

I, MAYOR MADI, WILL LEAVE THIS POST UP UNTIL

SUNDAY, 11/2/14 @ 11:59pm

Meow O Ween and FFHT

Last night the peeps met their friends for a Meow-O-ween Eve supper at

Black Cat Cafe...

Mom had Catfish Tacos...they were yummy!!

Mom snapped this picture of two patrons evidently

they had been waiting a looooooog time to be served.

Woo Hoo I've been invited to Howl O Ween Pawty at  

Dory's Back Yard 

Meow O Ween Party hosted by Sammy at

One Spoiled Cat's pad.

My guy Raz is Spaghetti and Meatballs
HE makes me laugh all the time and girls like funny guys!! 

Today's phrase is I knew there was no turning back when

On October 13 my guy Raz invited me to 

go to the pumpkin patch with him. I was 

super excited when I heard there would be a clown there;

however, I knew there was no turning back when

I found out it was a scary clown who ate kitties for breakfast.

Thankfully Raz saved me by grabbing my paw
as he jumped up onto the top of a  house. 
As if this wasn't scary enough, Raz and I went on a trip to Niagara Falls with the Cat Scouts.  We were sitting on a barrel watching the Falls.....I knew there was no turning back when all of a sudden the barrel slipped. We both hung on for a wild ride and squealed like little girls.

SIGHTS,SOUNDS AND SMELLS OF HAWAII

Finally it was time for us to get our paws in the sand

and some luau food in our tummies.

I had heard Mom talk about going to Hawaii way back

BM (before Madi).  The only thing she didn't like

was poi..so I decided not to try that. 

Mainly 'cause you eat it with your paws...and I needed

my paws clean for later...

as the sun went down in the lovely Hawaiian village

the torches were lit. Sarge and I joined

paws and try to learn a few hoochie hula steps.

 Oh boys and girls I was all about shaking

my booty and reaching for the stars

I am one hoochie hula Diva. I danced until dawn.  

Alas it was time to leave the beautiful Island...
We had to have our photo made with the

handsome Kamehameha.....

Then we said Aloha

Hawaii....

Sarge thank you for arranging this most informative trip to

the convention in this lovely setting.

You are one fine escort..and while I have the opportunity

may I thank you for being my Pol Commish and for

all you do for our fine community.
IT HAS BEEN AN HONOR TO SERVE WITH YOU!

Hugs Madi

Leadership and Government Conference

In case you missed the Get away reveal earlier this morning,
Sarge and I are in Hawaii attending a Leadership and government conference.
**********************
What a busy day...we had to get up at 0'dark 30 to be ready for  
8 am role call

Sarge kept his nose to the grind all morning..taking in every word.

I my eyes glazed over about 10 minutes into the opening remarks.  I was in desperate need of A nap, A nip or  A nipitini or all of the above.

We arrived back from lunch to find the room empty

Evidently those government types take LOOOOOOOng lunches

The first afternoon seminar's topic was

Pros and cons of multi critter government

Paws down my comment that 

Four paws are better than 2 hands

was met with such approval we adjourned early. 

Next Seminar was Pensions: Pawsome Retirement Options

A. IRAs: I(ntelligent) R(esource) A(pplication)s

B. 401K-k-k: a Race to raise Pension funds for retiring kitties and K9s

Sarge and I watched a great video presentation

on opportunities for retiring government personnel.

I was spellbound...here I thought I'd be sitting around on my royal tush all day after my term as Mayor was over.

All the boring meetings were concluded at 4 pm ....
Jumpin' Catfish they rolled out the red carpet and 
the fun began.
