The Sale Tail

Posted by admin on December 16th, 2008




Snow in Las Vegas? Yes, we get snow. Although we’re very lucky if it actually sticks. It snowed yesterday for almost 6 hours, but only about a hour of it stuck. I tried to get a picture of Ozzbourne in the snow. I couldn’t get one when he wasn’t moving. So, you have “blurry snow dog”.
I had to remove gifts from under my tree, that had a bow or ribbon on it. Harley has decided this year, that they would be so much fun to play with. The look on his face, when he saw me remove them & put them in a stocking, was adorable. He knew, I took them away.

How about some quotes from “Planet Cat a cat-alog?”

“Cats are like Baptists. You know they raise hell, but you can never catch them at it.” -James Patterson

“The cat who doesn’t act finicky loses control of his humans.”-Morris

” The cat does not offer services. The cat offers itself. Of course he wants care & shelter. You don’t buy love for anything. Like all pure creatures, cats are practical.”-William S. Burroughs

“Everything I know I learned from my cat: When you’re hungry, eat. When you’re tired, nap in a sunbeam. When you go to the vet’s, pee on your owner.”-Gary Smith

I really like the Morris quote.

I had a 25% off sale with free shipping in my ETSY shop from the 10th-15th. The positive news is, I got A sale. Oh well, I know a lot of people are out of work. Heck, I’m one of them.

I went to Petsmart on Saturday to get cat food & P.A.W.S. had representatives there. P.A.W.S. is out of Arizona, but they do adoptions out of the Petsmarts here. I made my 10% profit from sales donation plus a little from my own pocket too. 100% goes to the animals. Most workers are volunteers.

I will have to update my blog sooner next time. I have had my blog tagged. All in good spirits & fun. I have been feeling under the weather, so I will be taking a break from crafting. I need to get my strength up, I should be loading CES in starting the 21st of December. I will have to concentrate on Valentine’s day on my days off.

Be sure your holiday decorations are pet safe.

The New Tree Tail

Posted by admin on December 13th, 2008




I started my Christmas decorating contemplating on a real tree ? or a fake tree. I really like the look & smell of a real tree. I just don’t like the fact that it dies when I’m done with it. I have bought a plant able tree before in the past a couple of times. No luck. My last fake tree lasted, I think at least 8 years. I remember Breeze’s first Christmas with it. I set it up with the feeling it would go down. Yep, it went down 3 times before I felt safe to decorate it. It never went down again. I think the lesson was finally learned. Last night, my husband & I put the new fake tree up. Harley really likes it. I think he spent the night under it.

Continuation of 10 signs that you are turning into a cat lady. From the book :P lanet Cat a cat- alog.

6. You introduce your cats by name to the pizza delivery guy.
7. On your last census questionnaire, you lied about how many cats you really own.
8. You buy clothes & furniture in the exact shade of your cat’s coat.
9. You’re starting to wonder what the chicken feast with bacon bits really tastes like.
10. You wouldn’t even dream of requesting a doggie bag.

I really need to buy the book before someone requests it from the library.
Maybe I will get it for Christmas.

The 3 pet pile up picture is a rare. They are so close to each other. Ozzbourne(black dog) really likes his cats. He likes to try & get fleas off of Harley(black cat) or he’s just giving him love bites. He does the same to me sometimes. When Ozzbourne is outside, all cats on the outside are fair game. He has been stalked before a few times. On one occasion it scared me because the cat followed us for 5 houses.

Well. I have managed to get one sale from my 25% off entire store sale with free shipping.
The sale will end on the 15th of December.
Stop by & have a look. I make hand made jewelry, cat toys, pet jewelry & leashes.

Don’t forget to get a Christmas gift for your pet.

To visit my shop, just click on the “Buy hand made-ETSY” button on the right.

Thanks.

The Promoting Tail

Harley is enjoying the heated massage feature on the couch. He apparently has figured the remote out.

10 signs that you are turning into a “cat lady”. From “Planet Cat A Cat-alog”.

1. Realizing that it’s a hopeless cause,people at work have stopped offering you lint brushes.
2. The framed photos in your house depict only four-legged members of your family.
3.There are litter boxes in every room of your house.
4. You have been known to suffer through six hours of boring infomercials rather than disturb the cat sleeping on the remote.
5. You opinion of your friends is influenced by how well your cats like them.

The last 5 on the next blog post.

It is that time of year to do your final Christmas shopping online or through the mail to make sure it arrives to you on time. I like to have Christmas mailed to recipients by 1 week before the day. No later or else it will be late.
I am having a promotion sale. Starting December 10th-15th.

The Kindred Nap Tail

Posted by admin on December 6th, 2008






Seeing my cats napping as close as the picture shows is rare. I know Harley edged his way up onto the bed & as close as he could get to Breeze without getting hit. He loves her for being a big sister when he first arrived into our lives. Now that she is top animal in the house,she rarely wants anything to do with him. It almost looks like Harley is happy in his sleep.

Continuation of Cat Haiku’s part 2

Want to trim my claws?
Don’t even think about it!
My yelps will wake the dead.

I want to be close
To you. Can I fit my head
inside your armpit?

Wanna go outside.
Oh no! Help! I got outside!
Let me back inside!

Oh no! Big one
has been trapped by newspaper.
Cat to the rescue!

Humans are so strange.
Mine lies still in the bed,then
screams.
My claws aren’t that sharp.

Litter box not there.
You must have moved it again.
I’ll crap in the sink.

That is it for the Haikus. I hope you enjoyed.

A Thoughtful Tail

Posted by admin on December 4th, 2008



I read a few different blogs and one gave a thoughtful suggestion for the holidays. When you are writing your Christmas cards,include one for the soldiers that are recovering.
Send them to:
A Recovering American Soldier
c/o Walter Reed Army Medical Center
6900 Georgia Ave. NW
Washington, DC 20307-5001

I will be sending one myself this weekend.

Continuation of Cat Haikus,part 1 from “Planet Cat”

The mighty hunter
Returns with gifts of plump
birds.
Your foot just squashed one.

You’re always typing.
Well,let’s see you ignore my
Sitting on your hands.

My small cardboard box.
You cannot see me if I
Can just hide my head.

Part 2

Terrible battle.
I fought for hours,Come and see!
What’s a “term paper”?

Kitty likes plastic,
Confuses for litter box.
Don’t leave tarp around.

Small brave carnivores
Kill pine cones and mosquitoes
Fear vacuum cleaner.

Part 2 will continue next post.

I chuckle every time I read “What’s a term paper”?

I posted a new item on ETSY today.
“Lime Glass Beaded & White Macramé Bracelet.”
Visit my ETSY shop for description.

I decided that Ozzbourne should be included in my post today.
Picture of him is showing his spoiled character.
I’m sure he would say he is far from being spoiled.

Be sure to pet,scratch or/and give your animals hugs tonight.

New Attitude Tail

Posted by admin on December 1st, 2008




I have a new attitude with my ETSY shop. I have decided to broaden my horizons & create human jewelry & more. I just finished posting a Red & black nugget charm bracelet. I also posted 3 blind mice cat nip toys. If you would like to see descriptions just go to htt://www.missbreezysbox.etsy.com.

How about some cat Haikus, part 1 from “Planet Cat-a cat-alog”.

“You never feed me.
Perhaps I’ll sleep on your face.
That will show you”.

“You must scratch me there!
Yes,above my tail! Behold,
elevator butt.”

“I need a new toy.
Tail of black dog keeps good time.
Pounce! Good dog! Good dog!”

“The rule for today:
Touch my tail,I shred your hand.
New rule tomorrow.”

“In deep sleep hear sound.
Cat vomit hairball somewhere.
Will find in morning.”

“Grace personified
I leap into the window.
I meant to do that.”

“Blur of motion,then
Silence,me,a paper bag.
What is so funny?”

How about those? I have heard that hairball sound in the middle of the night & thought the same thing, I’ll find it in the morning. There is still a few more in part 1. I’ll save them for part 2.

That is Harley in the picture under the dishwasher. He learned to go under it, since he wasn’t allowed in it. He just loves to get in & under things. When he was just a few months old,he went under my flat sheet in bed & went to the end of the bed. He ran into a dead in with the sheet tucked in & sat there & cried about it,until I showed him just to come back the way he came from.

Be sure to get your pets a gift for Christmas, to show them how much you appreciate & cherish them.
