First of all.  I got all AAAAAAs on my report card.  I'm not perfect, but I
have the capacity to be.  I'm still grinning and flying high.

Second, yesterday was Yule, so I gave everyone their Yule presents.  I gave
Speedy the d-thing a chew bone of the brand that he really likes and made
three catnip thockies for the owners.  I was going to work on them in my
room while watching TV, but Merlin stole the plastic bag with the nip in it
and I had to chase him down to get it back.  Then Qui Gun kept grabbing the
thock I was working on and had to be physically removed, one claw at a time.
Then Tanada came into the kitchen crying for her fair share.  This is when I
decided that instead of the two I'd originally planned on making, three
thockies would be needed.  This is including the catnip thoaked puff balls
that come in the container.

I had Mike help me fill the thockies and in short order had six cats
hovering underneath the thocks as we filled them up.  Pine Cone's fur was
green and he was werry well liked by the other nipheads.  At one point Huey
and Qui Gun Kit were chasing Pine Cone through the house in order to lick
the nip off of him.  They cornered him, and Sonya stepped in and cleaned him
off.  Needless to say, all of us had a great time.  Nothing like watching
the nipheads get their fixes.
