Sammy-Joe's Spectacular Tongue!

Hi everyone! Is it too late for me to enter the Spectacular Tongue-tacular Contest? My sister Lily entered already. But I noticed there aren't many kitty tongues in the contest! And Mama just happened to snap this picture of me. Its a little blurry. But its my cute little tongue! 

Our Spectacular-Tongue-tacular Contest Entry!

Hi everyone! We heard about this goofy Tongue-Tacular contest where you're supposed to post a picture of your tongue! We decided to see if we had any qualifying pictures... and decided to submit this picture (previously seen in a Wordless Wednesday post) of little Lily sleeping with her tongue sticking out! If you want to enter, you have until March 11 to post a picture of your tongue, and then go make a comment so that Anna The German Shepherd knows to include you in the contest!


Here's our entry...

AND DON'T FORGET OURFLAXYPET GIVEAWAY GOING ON RIGHT NOW! TWO DOGS AND TWO CATS WILL WIN FLAXUSA PRODUCTS! THE LAST TIME TO ENTER IS FRIDAY AT 3:00 CENTRAL. GOOD LUCK! 

Lily's Better Half

Okay, now its my turn to find my Better Half for Norwood's Contest! It took Trixie forever and ever and ever to find someone. But I found someone really quickly! I found Donkey!

Donkey is only nine months old, but we have a lot in common! He is part poodle and part chihuahua (but I'm also rat terrier and maltese!) He loves to play, especially with stuffed animals. He is nervous around strangers until he gets to known him, just like me. Like me, he is less nervous around strangers if his owner isn't around! (I bark a lot more at strangers when Mama is with me. I gotta protect her, right?)

Do you think he looks like me? Here's me.

Donkey, I hope you find a good home soon!
Do you want to see Trixie's better half and Sammy-Joe's better half too?


Now I'm going over to Mayzie's Dog Blog to make a comment for her Commentathon! She's raising money for the shelter that rescued her!  

Trixie's Better Half!

Hey, its me, Trixie! I've been trying to find my Better Half for Norwood's Find Your Better Half contest. Sammy-Joe found his better half pretty quickly, but it was a lot harder for me... remember, I have identity issues!

I looked and looked and looked, and I think I found a little guy who looks kinda like me. So, meet Diego!

He lives in a foster home in Griffith, IN. The website says someone found him as a stray dog... just like me! I think he's probably smaller than me... it says he's a wirehaired terrier/chihuahua mix. But his face looks a lot mine, don't you think?

Now lets see if Lily can find her better half!


Make sure to go over to Mayzie's Dog Blog and make a comment, okay? 

Sammy-Joe's Better Half

Hi everyone! We heard about Norwood's Find Your Better Half contest. The contest is, you're supposed to go on Petfinder.com and look for a pet who could be your twin... but the opposite gender! We really wanted to try this!


Trixie and Lily thought I should go first. I'm a Russian Blue, so they figured all I'd need to do is do a search for a Russian Blue cat, and I'd find my match! 

So I found... December!

Does she look like me?

December lives at the TAPS No-Kill Animal Shelter in Pekin, IL. She was actually adopted once before. But then she got lost, and someone brought her to Animal Control. When the people there called her owners, they decided they didn't want her back! So now December is looking for a home again. The website says she's very affectionate and loves attention... just like me! My Mama says if we didn't live with Gramma and Grampa, who say NO MORE FURRIES, maybe we would get her... but I'm not sure I would get along with another cat just now, anyway. I hope she finds a great home with someone, though! 


So thats my Better Half! And now, it's Trixie's turn!

Sammy-Joe Needs A Costume!

First of all, don't forget about the doggie toy giveaway that is still going on! Today is the LAST day to enter, doggies! Today at 5 pm Central, I will pick a winner! The winner will be announced tomorrow morning as soon as Mama gets her lazy butt outta bed to help me type. 

So... Its not really my turn to write in the blog today. Its supposed to be Trixie's turn. But she said we could switch, because I have an important question! I've been invited to an online costume contest, hosted by Baby Rocket Dog And Hootie.
They specifically asked me to be in it, and not my doggie sisters, because they are short on cats. They begged me! 

I have two problems. First, I don't own a costume. Second, Mama doesn't have any money right now to get me a costume or even to get things to make a costume.  And third, I am not quite sure i will let Mama put a costume on me! (Oops, I guess that is three problems, isn't it!)

Mama did come up with one idea. I have a red bandanna that I used to sometimes wear, until Gramma made me take it off cuz she thought it was a choking hazard. Mama thinks she can make me a cowboy costume. She'll get some cardboard and tin foil and make me a little badge to stick to my bandana, so I look like a cowboy sheriff! 

We wanted to ask you, do you have any other ideas for easy costumes that could be quickly put onto a cat like me? Remember, I am a strong cat. I'm like a panther. So it has to be something easy. Something Mama could make with the junk around the house. Or, if anyone has a costume they could mail to me before February that I could use, that they think Mama could get me into without me clawing her eyeballs out, that would be good...  she'd mail it back to you, of course! The costume contest deadline is February 6.

What do you think? Cowboy costume? Or your idea?

Oh yeah, if you want to enter the costume contest too, I know that would make Baby Rocket Dog and Hootie really happy. The information for it is here.

Let me know what you think, everyone! I'll be waiting to hear your ideas!
