The Farm cats were very lucky!
They won a prize during Sparkle's Cat World Domination Day - otherwise known as her birthday - and it arrived!
Stinky was the only cat in the house when the publicist opened the box.
She gave it a very thorough look-see.
She was most interested in the basket.
In fact she REALLY liked the grass inside.
You do not want to know what the publicist said about the mess she made.
She did have some fun though.
The basket was full of lots of fun cat stuff!
The publicist has not given everything to the Farm cats yet - she does not want to spoil them. She did give them the Kitty Kaviar.
It was a BIG hit!
Three out of four Farm cats almost bit her fingers off!
Don't worry - she still has all ten of her fingers but a little less blood.
She will live.
Sherpa was quite fond of the red stuffed heart.
He sleeps with it AND WILL NOT SHARE.
It is not nice to not share.
Harry was greedy with the catnip ball.
He was not the only one.
But it is very hard to steal it from him!
He also likes the colorful mousies.
We know how much Harry likes mousies!
The Farm cats would like to meow a very big THANK YOU to Sparkle for this wonderful basket of toys. They are enjoying them a LOT.
I would like to remind you to vote for Sparkle and all of my friends for the Pettie awards.
In fact, as part of Sparkle's birthday party she also made a donation to the Farm Cat's choice of shelter. They picked AniMeals a wonderful organization here in Montana. Sparkle is running a survey right now to pick the shelter that will get the monies if Sparkle wins the Pettie. I have nominated AniMeals (they also help GOATS!) and would love it if you could go vote for them too! Even if Sparkle does not win the Pettie she will have a chip in widget on her blog for the month of August for the shelter that wins the most votes. So please go and vote for AniMeals.....
And be sure to vote for all of my friends for Petties:
Sparkle
Katie and Glogirly
Daisy the Curly Cat
Your Daily Cute
I have the widget on the right of my blog to make it easy to do every day!
Sparkle the Cat, a very special cat indeed, has nominated me - ME not Abby - for a very special project. It is called My 7 Links and it was created by Tripbase Blog. I don't usually do things like this but in order to participate you need to look through your old blog posts and I thought this would be fun for me and for the publicist. These are the rules:
I need to post the links to:
- Your most beautiful post
– Your most popular post
– Your most controversial post
– Your most helpful post
– A post whose success surprised you
– A post you feel didn’t get the attention it deserved
– The post that you are most proud of
So you see why this would be fun for me. So here goes:
My Most Beautiful Post
When Harry Met Stinky
I always thought this was a very special story about two species getting along together.
My Most Popular Post
My Most Controversial Post
Goatucation: A Sad Lesson Today
These happen to be the same. It was the post when I told you all that I had lost my kid. There were a lot of lovely comments from all of my readers and some discussion as to what might have caused it. (I did not count any of my giveaways in this as that would be unfair.)
My second most popular post was:
Meet the Twins
When little Lew and Timmy joined the Farm
My Most Helpful Post
I think any of my Goatucation posts would fit this bill but I pick Goatucation: What Goat's Shouldn't Eat
I had lost a goat friend to bloat the week before and I thought it was important to post about bad things for goats to eat.
My Post That Didn't Get the Attention it Deserved
AbbyDay - Important Information for Everyone who Loves Pets
OK, this one was written by Abby but it is full of very important information and it introduces Sherpa the Farm kitten. Everyone here at the Happy Goats Farm feels that animals deserve a safe and loving home.
A Post Whose Success Surprised Me
That Luke!
I don't get millions of comments like some blogs but I love every single one that I do get! So when a post gets 20 comments I rejoice and do my goat dance of joy! Now I adore my studmuffin but the fact that my readers do to just makes me very, very happy.
The Post I am Most Proud Of
What is the Maaaaa of Pricilla
I wrote this in answer to the publicist's friend, Aunt Nora. I think it is full of very good information. In fact I keep a separate tab for it on the top of my blog.
I thank Sparkle for setting me on this task. It took some time but it was fun to look back over all of my blog posts. From my very first post in January of '09 to this, my 980th post (granted Abby has written a few) I have been a very busy goat. I suppose I will have to have a celebration for the 1,000th post. That will be fun, won't it?
Now I am to nominate 5 other bloggers to experience this same fun:
Daisy the Curly Cat - because Daisy never fails to make me laugh with her wicked sense of humor. I came to Daisy's blog several years after it started so I know there is a lot to mine there.
Duck and Wheel with String - 'cause I know it will drive her crazy. Not to mention that she is an excellent writer full of maaaavelous insights.
A Goat's View of Eden Hills - because Millie is a kindred spirit. An old goat living with a bunch of teenagers who drive her crazy. She also has the most beautiful horns. I covet her horns.
In a Goat's Shoes - because these young goats love a challenge
Whomever else would like to go for it!
I am a cop-out goat!
I hope you enjoy looking through my old posts. I sure did. Be sure to visit Sparkle's list too. She had some very important things to say.....
