Black & White Sunday




Awards and giveaway winner

We were nominated for a few awards this week- well, actually more like last week. The first, the Liebster Award, was given to us by the lovely pup, Laika from the blog, Mit hundeliv (which translates to My Dog's Life in English). Thanks, Laika!


The Liebster Award is given to a newer blogger with fewer than 100 followers. The first rule of the award (after thanking the blogger who nominated you and linking back to them) is that you are supposed to list five things unknown things about yourself. Sookie and the cats wanted to be included in this so here is a fact about each of them:

1. Sookie loves to annoy the heck out of the cats by trying to play with them all the time. They hiss at her and even slap her in attempts to get her to go away, but nothing stops her. She is like a pesky little sister!

2. Stray is the least picky out of all the cats when it comes to food. She enjoys eating ALMOST as much as Sookie does!

3. Miracle had three other siblings, but she was the only one to survive (hence the name, 'Miracle').

4. Cedric's mood can change in the blink of an eye. One moment he will be all sweet and loving, and the next try to slap and pounce at you. It makes me wonder if cats can also be bi-polar or have multiple personalities...

5. Baby is the shyest of the cats, but she is beginning to come out of her shell more now.

The next step is that you are supposed to nominate 5 other newer bloggers with fewer than 100 followers. However, the few newer bloggers who we know of already have this award, and time is preventing us from looking through other blogs to see who has less than 100 followers so if you qualify for this award you can just take it and say that we nominated you.




We also received the One Lovely Blog Award from our pawsome friends at Fur Everywhere. Thanks, guys! There aren't any rules for this award, but we wanted to nominate a few of our friends (we didn't check first, so we apologize if you already have the award)!

Our Christmas Tree

It's hard to believe that Christmas is less than two weeks away! There is still quite a bit of decorating going on in our house, but that is mostly due to my dad, who can be compared to Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase) from National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. You can tell how much my dad loves to decorate by the photo of our tree below (the same picture was also featured today on the pawsome blog, Speedy the Cheeky House Bunny for his Christmas Count Down!).




And here is Sookie standing next to it (I had to hold a treat up to get Sookie to stay still!):





And again, remember to enter my giveaway for a $10 e-card to T.J.Maxx. Hurry, as it ends in only five hours!

Win a $10 T.J.Maxx virtual gift card




I finally decided to do my first giveaway and just in time for the holidays! This giveaway is for a $10 virtual gift card that can be used on the Marshalls, T.J.Maxx, and HomeGoods websites. I will email the winner with the gift card number and pin number

You can enter by using the Rafflecopter entry form below. Good luck!

EDIT: I just found out that you can't buy products online from Marshalls and HomeGoods, only T.J.Maxx. Obviously, I should've done more research; you can tell I'm new at this! So sorry, everyone! However, you could go to a store near you and give the cashier the card number and pin number.

More Gaby photos

Hi, friends! I apologize for not updating this blog and commenting. I had a pretty busy Thanksgiving week. I was pet sitting for little Gaby again at my house for the week (she actually just went back home yesterday). It does feel strange not having her around here after caring for her and having her at my side virtually all day and night for several days, although Sookie is happy that she no longer has to share our attention with another dog!

However, despite the fact that Sookie still isn't very crazy about Gaby, I did manage to get a picture of the two together (they were waiting for me to give them some food).






And here she is playing Peek-a-boo under the blanket:






I also love how Gaby's tongue sticks out of her mouth when she sleeps. Too cute!








P.S. I finally created a Facebook page for my blog! We would love it if you liked our page by pressing the 'Like' button, located in the right sidebar. :)
