Seek-a-Word Game

I’ve done a seek-a-word for us today -- with a little twist: I haven’t given you the words to seek, but the names of team members. The words you are searching for are ones that describes something each member does. For example, I’ve already done Sean’s word. It’s SEWS. Now here are the other team members:

1. Shari
2. Athena
3. Pauline
4. K
5. Patty
6. Diana
7. Jenya
8. Tammy
9. Annie
10. Solange (sorry)

Remember, these words may describe more than one member, as many of us sew besides Sean. But the trick is to find all ten words and the person it MOST accurately describes. Convo me the answers and if more than one person has all answers correct, I’ll draw from a hat. Winner gets a purse organizer made by me. An example is shown here:

You have from now until July 27, 2011 at 9:00 am EST to convo your answers to me. The winner will be announced next Thursday here on this blog.

Good luck

Saturday Blog Hop 5/14/11 & A Story about a Cat & the winner of our blog giveaway

Gail of BritmericaLaneHandcrafts entered our photo contest last month with videos of Teddy and Snowball. We emailed back and forth quite a bit about Snowball. I thought it was a great story and wanted to share it with you:

Snowball spent over a year outside as a feral cat. When we saw her out there, we would take a bowl of food and put it out in the open hoping she would find it. It was months before she would allow us to touch her. We fed her for 3-4 months before catching her in a trap to get her neutured.

Shortly after she was neutured, on a nasty rainy day, I put her bowl of food inside the door of our sunroom so that she had to come inside to get it. (This is a picture of her meeting Sooty, another of our cats). Snowball would sit in a potted plant that sat on a small pedestal, so she could see inside. After a few days I started to shut the door behind her which at first freaked her out.




After a while she got used to it until another rainy day, I just kept her inside and the rest is history - she has been in ever since and is now the happy cat.

Now she has been indoors for about a year.

She loves to play with HER toy - we have 4 cats and she is the only one who plays with that particular one. Teddy has other toys similar and she plays with those, it was strange, but it was like that exactly what she did -teach Snowball how to play.

All of our cats (and our dog Scruffy, who recently passed away at 15 yrs) were abandoned or, in the case of our other black cat Sooty, who, we think was born in the wild also.

It took a lot of patience and time with both of them - over a period of months - for us to get anywhere near them.

I don't think that Snowball will ever be a sociable cat - she runs and hides under the bed when our son and family - or anyone come to the house. Although, when we here on holiday, she did come out of hiding when the neighbour came over to feed them all.

Now, Snowball has turned into a bit of a baby who loves attention. At night she snuggles on my lap while I am watching TV - it is almost like holding a baby.


It was a really big day the first time she touched my hand with her nose through a small fence we have - just for a second, but that was the beginning - From then on, it was a lot of baby steps all the way until she has got to where she is now.
I just like to spread the word of what people throw out and what they (the people) are missing.
There is so much abuse of animals, especially these days, it seems.

Dr. Seuss Birthday Giveaway

March 2nd is Dr, Seuss' Birthday. This week's Sunday blog is a giveaway that is all about him.

Dr. Seuss was one of Theodor Seuss Geisel's pen names. He is well know for the many children's books he wrote and illustrated. He was born on Howard Street in Springfield, Massachusetts on March 2, 1904. Before writing children's books, he wrote for a variety of publications, made political cartoons and made some army training films. His first published children's book was And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street. Can you believe it was actually rejected 27 times.

In honor of this great author who brought the joy of reading to so many children through the generations,

(This picture is of DogBarks and CatCalls - Patty's grandson Zeke in his Dr. Seuss outfit.)

I am doing a blog giveaway. I am giving away two hand drawn laminated bookmarks as shown below to one lucky person. (Note the familiar Dr. Seuss like stripes. )

The game is simple. Match the quotes to their Dr. Seuss' book titles (some books may be used more than once with the quotes). Once you have matched them all, convo (do not put answers in comments area) the answers to me at SassySashadoxie. If you have the correct answers, your name will be put in a drawing for the free bookmarks.

Good Luck to all. You have until February 28, 2011 at 12:01am Eastern Standard Time to convo me your answers. After that time, I will put the winner in the comments area below.

If you want to put a list of your favorite books (Dr. Seuss or not) in the comments area below that would be nice, too. Keep on reading folks. It is good for your brain!

Here are the Dr. Seuss Book Titles to use:

A. Cat In The Hat!
B. Horton Hears A Who!
C. Green Eggs And Ham
D. The Lorax
E. Oh, The Places You'll Go

Now, match them to these quotes.

1. You’ll join the high fliers who soar to high heights.
2. a person’s a person, no matter how small
3. He should not be here. When your mother is out!
4. Not in a box. Not with a fox.
5. And when you’re in a Slump, you’re not in for much fun. Un-slumping yourself is not easily done.
6. Oh! Baby! Oh! How my business did grow!
7. I meant no harm. I most truly did not.
8. I do not like them, Sam-I -am.

Sasha's Heads Or Tails Game

Hello all our friends out there. It is us the little wiener dog named Sasha and my mommy. We have been doing story time the last few weeks and folks have just been so busy that we decided to take a rest from the stories for a bit. You can read the ending of the last story in the comments on this link here.

This week we are doing a game with a chance to win a special prize from us. It is pretty easy and will run all the way until next Sunday's post or Sunday February 6th, 12:01 am EST. We will post the answers and the winner next Sunday sometime after 12:01 am EST.

"So what is the game?" You humans ask.

It is heads or tails. You click on each of the following links which are petsjubilee team members items. Then, tell us (mommy and me) if the item would be good for heads (top of head to chest), tails (tummy to feet), or both. If you pick the option of both, state why you picked that it would be good for both. Convo (d0 not post answers in the comments area below) your answers to me and mommy at http://www.etsy.com/shop/SassySashadoxie. All the people that answer correctly, will be put into a drawing to pick one winner. Shop owners of the following links may enter, as well. To be fair, please, use only one entry per person and not per etsy shop/user name. Contest is only open to those with etsy accounts this time. But, it is easy to open an account at: http://www.etsy.com/

Congratulations Cooper & Lola! You've won your choice of either a Black & Red Hearts Valentine Collar Flower or the Dapper Dog Necktie from Tammy at earlybird454.

Cooper's letter was so very touching:

Dear Paw Princess,

I am a cute, lovable guy who knows how to treat a girl. I love to give kisses, snuggle close, and protect the one I love. I am looking for a girl who doesn't mind pet hair on the couch, toilet seats left up and the occasional passing of gas.

Your knight in shining armor,
Cooper

We hope you find your perfect match soon. She's out there somewhere.

Alice's Thursday Quickie Giveaway!

Thursday Quickie Giveaway

Everyone has such fun each day on the team blog, I decided to have a little fun today instead of loading you up with information. We're going to have a quickie Giveaway for a mini needle felt of your dog -- or any dog of your choice :)

Here's what to do: Everyone is familiar with those little conversational hearts we see on Valentine's Day. If your DOG was writing those little messages, what would he/she say? Leave your answer-comment, with as many 'heart messages' as you want, along with a way to contact you. I'll draw a winner from those who leave a comment -- one entry per person -- first thing on Friday morning and contact you if you are the winner :) Good luck! I look forward to making one of your dogs!

Alice
