Catstacular Event - Guest Post from Bingo! And a Giveaway of Bingo's Big Adventure

Before I get to today's guest I want to ask you to go over to thepublicist's blog today. She has a very important post about how we all can help the animals in Japan. It's about a web event called Paws for Japan.


I am a very excited cat today!
I get to introduce a FAMOUS cat. He has a book! His name is Bingo and his book is 




Bingo's Big Adventure. He even has his own blog
I think I should have a blog....sshhhhhhh! Don't tell Pricilla!


What is even better I MET his mommy.
His mommy is Julia from Our Simple Life and Julia and her family came to visit the Farm last year. Bingo the cat did not come to visit, though. That WOULD have been a Big Adventure for sure!


So without further amew here is Bingo!


Greetings Humans! I am Bingo and I live in California. Please join me for an extraordinary day out on my farm. I love to sniff the air and feel the new grass leaves between my toes. It's spring and there is no better time to be a cat!







Maybe I spoke too soon . . . Da da da dum... da da da dum.... (Sometimes I wish I had my own orchestra). There is a large brown animal in my creek. She is no stranger to our land. SHE is the largish puppy named Scout, who invaded our property about 9 months ago. I do not like her . . .




To begin with, Scout the dog sploshes and slops and slurps up water. She is very undignified and has awful manners. Then she likes to sneak my cat food when no one is guarding it because she is a thief. And WORST of all she likes to CHASE ME!




Oh, has she seen me yet? I sure hope not. The Tall Lady, my personal human, has been trying to train her to not chase us cats, but when she is not around the dog is accountable to no one. She likes to torment me. I don't think I can scratch her well enough to dissuade her pursuit. But I run faster than Scout the dog. She can NOT catch me!




Just to be on the safe side of the cat-dog relationship, I think I'll hightail it out of here in a fast but casual manner and hope for the best on higher ground. I am Bingo, The Mighty Adventurer, but even I have my limits.




OH NO!!!! She has spotted me! I must run . . . NOW!




The humiliation, the suffering, the embarrassment. I am shamed to call my self a cat. But I'd rather be a cat with all my fur than a cat in the mouth of the beastly dog. Woe is me.




Now that I have shown you how wimpy I am, I bet you won't believe that the Tall Lady wrote a children's picture book about me. It's called Bingo's Big Adventure. In this photo documentary I meet another scary cat on my farm, I climb a spectacular tree and I even chase a vicious rooster. Yep. I sulked along after that foul fowl until he spotted me . . . and then I . . . um . . . um . . . ran home to my human mommy the Tall Lady that is . . . So basically I am a "chicken" dressed in cat fur. But that is how cats survive is it not.


Well, I need to back down this tree some time soon and get myself in the house. That is, after the DOG leaves. Then I can retire for my much needed nap. Thanks for viewing my personal cat trauma.


Bye for now!
Bingo

My Friend Julia Has Written a Book!

I cannot believe that I know a famous author!
I cannot believe that a famous author came and visited me and pet me on the head!
Me!

I mean, I know I am a famous SpokesGoat and all but being a famous author is something else all together.

You remember when I wrote about Julia and her family coming to visit - Julia writes the blog, Our Simple Life. Julia has now gone way beyond just writing a blog - that is right! Julia has written a book. It's all about her cat Bingo and his adventures on her Farm. 

It has been written for children 3 - 8 but the publicist loves the book and I know she is lots older than 8.

Lots.

I am not allowed to read it because any time I get near a book I take a little nibble and then a little nibble becomes a big nibble and before you know it I have eaten the whole book.


The publicist does not like this for some reason.
Burp.



It's called Bingo's Big Adventure. I have had a picture of it up on my blog for a while but the publicist has written a review of Julia's book and she is GIVING AWAY A COPY of it on her blog.

That Bingo loves to go out and run around and chase the chickens and the roosters on Julia's Farm. He also likes to climb trees! Look at this!


Julia took all of the pictures in the book herself. This makes me think she is a famous photographer too.

Hmmm, I wonder if she would come and do my headshot. I could use a new one.
She is probably too busy now though with book tours and autographs and stuff.
I hope she doesn't forget us little goats since she is all famous now.

If you want to buy Bingo's Big Adventure you can go to Bingo's Blog and find it in hardback or paperback. Or you can go to Amazon.com and find it HERE

Bingo also has his own Facebook page.
I wonder why I don't have a Facebook page! I am going to have to talk to the publicist about that.

So listen to this SpokesGoat and check it all out and be sure to enter the giveaway and maybe you will go on the adventures with Bingo!
