Saturday Night Games

Hi every-buddy! Parker's party yesterday sure was fun. Momma was jealous that I got to go to a party and she was staying home on Saturday night, so I came back and played with her last night. The mini-Bean Katie picked out this Barbie tree for us last year:

Not only is it a beautiful shiny pink color, but it also has shiny cat toys on it!

So we had fun last night: I would get up on the bookcase and bat at the balls, and Momma would say "Jimmy No!", and then I'd hit them off and under the bookcase and she'd get up and fetch them. I can even knock the whole tree off and then she gets to put it back up and put the balls back on it, and then we can start all over again! Coco wanted to play, too, but she has little stubby wiener dog legs and can't get the shiny balls out from under the bookcase.

Momma's lucky she has me to make sure she gets some exercise, because she was just sitting on the couch, drinking wine and eating peanut M & M's and watching T.V. shows on the computer. Christmas decorations are a good way to play and get some exercise!

I like that tree! My Mommy said to tell your Mommy that she is a woman after her own heart - M&M's and wine - yummy!

HA!
Mosaic Lady sat on the couch last night drinking wine and eating See's Chocolates (many with nuts!) and watching Tender Mercies on tv.
Your tree rocks, JJ, and I do not understand why I can not get one just like it. God knows ML needs the exercise.

Re: compounded Tapazole...We are so lucky to have a compound pharmacy here and Bianca has used it (in her ear...no flavored kind) for months and done really well on it. Willie will get on that Tuesday in hopes it does as well for him. Right now ML is pilling him. GOOD TIMES. We will ask about the flavored kind, though, but it might be harder than the gentle ear rub method. Bianca no longer runs away cuz she knows nothing is going in her mouth and she doesn't even have to be picked up or have her nap interrupted.
Thanks!

My mom would sit on her but and eat M&M's and drink wine too if we din't keep her buzzy!

Jack, Persephone, Tenzing and Lancelot said...

Wow! That's very.....pink. My OTW says she saw one of those in the supermarket. Also green and red and orange and blue and gold and silver and BLACK!!! My OTW wants a black one!!! But not for Christmas!

I like your kitty-toy decorations! We have a lot of jingly balls that would probably make great decorations if my OTW ever got out the tree!

We sympathise with your weather. It's no fun living nearly at the North Meowing Pole!

PS, my OTW says Thanks!

That's a lovely pink mini-tree that you have there. Yes, JJ, you keep your momma active and train her to play fetch. Maybe that's why lazy (but not altogether stupid) SS doesn't bother putting up a tree ever again after I demolished the one years ago. Umm, SS also likes M and Ms, smelly liquid, cheezels, savoury biscuits, nuts........She also mutters strings of bad words from time to time and stares at computers a lot. Yes, our mommas are very much alike.

That sounds like a great game, Jimmy Joe! :) We don't have our tree up yet this year.

Ramses said...

Oh dat's like the KissMouse tree on Ugly Betty - I'z watch that show every week while snuggling with My Mummy! :)

Purrs,

haha excellent work Jimmy Joe - I imagine your human will be forever in debt to you for forcing her to take excercise! It sounds like a very, VERY fun game! x

Unknown said...

Ha, ha, ha....my Mum sits on the couch eating peanut M & M's too!

I LOVE your Barbie Christmas tree, I have never seen one before.

It sounds like a really fun game you have going on.

Ivan from WMD said...

Wow, that looks like so much fun! And my mom was into the peanut M&Ms this weekend, too. We definitely need a tree too if only to get her up and moving!
