Third Gotcha Day News and Giveaway

Posted on by

Happy Sunday everyone! First, I want to thank everyone for their paw prayers for Mom’s back. She’s feeling much better now, but still has to watch her computer time.There’s something about her chair or the table height that makes her sit funny and makes her back hurt. She’s working on a more ergonomic setup, but in the meantime, I’ll be using her tablet more for twitter. I type very slowly on the tablet, so you’ll have to bear with me.

Now to the good stuff! As you know, this past Wednesday was my third Gotcha Day. Since that was a workday and last Sunday the weather was so purrfect, we went to Eldorado Canyon State Park. There’s a wheelchair path there that Mom thought would be good for the stroller. It has a great view of the canyon. Aside from pawsome scenery, we saw lots of people rock-climbing. That looked kind of fun, so when we went to the picnic area for brunch I decided to do some rock-climbing, too.

We were down by the creek edge and there were tons of nice crunchy leaves to play with. I didn’t realize the I was so close to the water because of all the leaves. I was just playing with them and having so much fun I stepped right in the water and got my paws wet! I backed out really quick and was trying to shake the water off my paws. Mom just stood there laughing and laughing at me! *shakes head* So here are the pictures from my trip.

Now for the part you’ve all been waiting for – the Tillman Skateboard Deck Giveaway! I won this cool skateboard deck from the pawsome people at Natural Balance at the last Blogpaws. Just follow the Rafflecopter instructions. There are steps to get more than one entry. You don’t have to do all the steps, but you do have to do the steps you say you’re doing. No cheating! If you don’t know how to post links to Twitter or Facebook posts, tag me in the post (@pumpkinpuddy on Twitter, Pumpkinpuddy Katz on Facebook) so I know you posted. I’ll take entries until 11/7 and announce the winner on 11/11. I know I originally said I’d announce the winner on the 9th, but that’s a Friday so I’m gonna wait until my usual blogging day, Sunday. Also, that’s the day before EK & Candy’s Gotcha day and the purrfect day for another Gotcha Day blog.

That’s it for today everyone. Have a great week! *hugs*

Product Review: Kitty Hoots Big Mamas Scratchy Box Double Wide

Posted on by

Hi everyone! Did you miss me? MOL I had a pawsome vacation and did all kinds of cool stuff, but that’s gotta wait. I’m long overdue on writing this product review. *embarrassed* So I gotta take care of business.

The people at Petsupplies.com sent me a couple of things to try out. They sent a Kitty Hoots Big Mamas Scratchy Box Double Wide and a Contempo Vena Cat Food and Treat Dispenser. The scratcher is a double wide (great for lounging on) and it came with pawsome catnip and a catnip toy. The toy got played with for about 10 minutes and no one’s paid any attention to it since. The scratcher is about the same as other scratchers we’ve had and has held up ok. Candy likes the tassles in the corner. Mom was afraid they’d come apart, but so far they haven’t.The cat food and treat dispenser got batted around a bit when mom first put it out, but we couldn’t get it to flip over enough for the treats to spill out. So it kind of flopped with us. No one plays with it and mom finally emptied the treats out of it and just gave them to us.

I looked around the site a bit, and their prices compare favorably with other places. And they have $4.99 flat rate shipping on orders over $49 up to 20lb. That’s great for lightweight stuff like toys or treats. So Petsupplies.com looks like an ok place to shop. I’m gonna be keeping track of this site.

I told you I had something special cooking for our big Gotcha Day celebration coming up in the next few weeks. Well, here’s the scoop. Do you see what’s in the picture below? That is a Tillman skateboard deck! And I’m gonna be giving that skateboard deck away in about a month, so spread the word!

Good news everyone! If you haven’t yet gotten your copy of ‘Summer at the Lake with Petie‘, it’s now available as a PDF for $6.99.

That’s it for today. Have a great week everyone!

 

Disclosure – I received the scratcher and treat dispenser gratis from Petsupplies.com. I received no compensation for my review and as always, my opinion is my own. No one can tell this kitty what to say!
