???

I was looking at the comments and one reminded me of my favorite book series: Warriors. Warriors reminded me of animals, which reminded me of my pet of the week posts and how I wanted this post to be just about pet of the week, but I have already gone totally off topic, so it doesn't really matter if I put what I really wanted to say because people would be so wrapped up in the other stuff, that they wouldn't pay attention to the important stuff, but I am going to put it in anyway.

In the comments, please tell me what your favorite pet of the week is and why. There are only a few pets left and I may need to repeat some.

New Earrings!!!

On Father's day, I got my ears pierced!!! My parents said I could get them when I was 10, but my birthday is in soccer season, so I convinced my parents to let me get them now. I was really nearveous at first, but I've gotten used to them already. I got to pick the earring, and I got a rainbow flower. It hurt A LOT when they used the gun. I didn't cry though. But having earrings is hard work! I have to use special alcohol to clean my ears every day, 3 times a day, for 8 weeks! I get to finally take them off August 20, witch happens to be my parent's wedding aniversary! Also, August 21, the day after I can take my earrings out, is my dad's birthday! I'm really excited, and look forward to showing my earrings to you! KATIE

How to Make a Catnip Mouse

This is how you make a catnip mouse:

what you need to make one:

• small sock
• catnip
• toilet paper/tissues
• sissors
• string
• sharpie/felt marker

1. First get a small sock that you don't use any more.
2. Fill the bottom of your sock with about half a spoon full of catnip
3. Then, put some toilet paper or tissues in the sock, but don't fill it all the way
4. Tie off the sock where the tp/tissues end. There should be about half the sock left after the tie
5. Cut off the extra sock, and draw your mouse's face with the sharpie or felt marker. Tada!

CAT (cat adoption team)

On Saturday the Friesens and I went to a cat adoption center. We got to go in different rooms and interact with the cats in them. Some of the cats were in cages, though. Before I went, I made a catnip sock mouse (witch I'll tell you how to make in my next post) to give to the cats there. They really enjoyed it! But my favorite cat, or kitten, I should say, was a tiny kitten named Bug. I LOVED Bug! Even though he was in a cage, Alyssa and I still got to hold him! He got adopted a few days later. I guess it's happy he got a home. (my parents wouldn't have let me keep him anyway, but...) That was one of my best trips ever, and I want to say thank you again to Alyssa and Rebecca.

Oh, and have I mentioned I love cats?

Aunt Sarah

My grandma is visiting for the week,and she gave me something that my mom used to have. My mom's Aunt Sarah made it. Basically it's a journal full of magazine clippings of cats! That sounds like some thing I would do!* Great Aunt Sarah LOVED cats too, but she had cats. I'm working on that.** :( So I'm determined to not lose it (unlike everything else), and pass it down for generations to come.

*I LOVE CATS!!!!!!

* Nobody in my family really wants a cat except me. :,(

Vegies I Don't Like to Eat

Green beans sweet potatoes,

Baby carrots, too,

Vegies I don't like to eat,

I'll count them for you.

Broccoli, celery,

Any thing that's green,

Vegetables are horrible,

Although they keep you lean.

Cauliflower, spinage,

Artichoke and beans,

Boys and girls hate them,

Don't you think that's mean?

To many to count,

To many to hate,

I guess I'm stuck with

Green monster bait!
