Hello everybody – time for me and Mom to do our bestest job filling in the blanks our co-hosts, 15andmeowing and Four-legged Furballs gave us to work on this week. Every week they each supply two sentences for us to complete – it’s a cool way of getting to know more about each other isn’t it! If you click the badge above, you will FLY over to 15andmeowing where you can join up with us using the LINKY form!
Guess who is the only filler-inner this week – ME ME ME ME! I thought I’d go ahead and dive back in to full possession of fill-in-the-blanks at least for this week. Maybe next week I’ll let Mom have a whack at it too. Here’s this week’s sentences and I filled in the blanks with ORANGE!
- I would like to improve my psychic skills. (If I did, I could be in the right place at the right time for treats and knowing when Mom needs a special hug)
- My favorite treat is Delectables Squeeze-ups!!.
- My current to-do list includes continuing to behave when I’m allowed outside so that I won’t have to wear my harness and leash – so far so good – I stick close to Mom and Dad and I intend to KEEP it that way!
- I finally got my Dad to put a long stick under the couch and pull out all my springs, mice, and ping pong balls that I ACCIDENTALLY put there!
There – I did pretty good didn’t I? Like I said, next week I’ll share with Mom or let her do the whole thing depending on the sentences…………….I mean it’s really NOT “all about me” around here – it’s about me and Mom sharing!
Speaking of sharing – I just have to brag a little bit about my Mom………………….she shared a very old poem she’d written with her friend Doctor Phoebe Chi (an amazing physician and poet as well as the lady who makes gorgeous sea glass jewelry)…………..and Miss Phoebe asked if she could publish it on her blog. Mom said YES…………..and there’s a link below to the poem on her blog. Mom is thrilled…..we admire Dr. Phoebe so much and to have her want to put Mom’s poem (which fits these times pretty well!) on her blog made us happy.
Big Hugs to all of you AND to Dr. Phoebe!
Love, Teddy

It is a lovely poem, and Dr. Phoebe chose a beautiful picture to go with it.
Teddy, I always used Ivor’s snooker cue for hooking toys from under the sofa. One day I didn’t pick it up right away when I finished and it must have got kicked or pushed under the sofa.
A few days later Ivor was looking for it and I remembered where it must be so got it for him and he went off to his friend’s house to play snooker.
When he came home he was not happy. The end was covered in little teeth marks!

OH NOOOOOO! Ooooops…..well, we do enjoy a good nosh on something HARD – a snooker cue would be perfect for that. Know what I like to steal and chew?? My Dad’s wooden back scratcher – same reason – small, hard, and good for a nice chew! HAHA

I like the poem very much.
My bipeds have a stick for poking under furniture to get cat toys, and other small items of disputed ownership, out. The bipeds say that just because an item is small enough for a cat to carry does not make it a cat toy. I’m trying to stay neutral on this but the items retrieved from under the furniture seem to favour the cats’ idea that all small items are their toys. 😀
LikeLike
Funny sometimes too what we consider a “toy”……Dad found a ballpoint pen and a small wad of notepaper under the sofa along with the usual stuff. You’re right though – little stuff isn’t NECESSARILY a cat toy unless you live in this house where it’s either a cat toy or a human toy and we know who wins THAT contest!!! HAHAHA
Hugs and Happy Friday

I’m sure Dad understands that accidents happen. I should put you in touch with Floki who has finely tuned psychic abilities. He could be napping on the bed while Rose and I quietly plot to put him in the carrier to bring him for a nail trimming. We usually walk into the bedroom just in time to see him scurry under the bed.

It’s a sixth sense – we feel the vibes of the carrier and recognize we are in immediate danger of transport!
