Ladies and Gentleme...{{Ahem}} (is this thing on?) Ladies and Gentlemens, thank you so much for your votes (I liked ALL of them, but Anne B's best, and I am not making that up!) So...it is only fair that I give credit where due and reveal that I did have some assistance in thinking up my caption abot the treat. So I consulted the resident Experts on Stuff Cats Say (that would be Evangeline-the-Mannerly and Lilliane, known as "Nom-Nom")who offered suggestions. After a brief meeting for a round of "awww, look at dem" and "oooh they're so SWEET" we three settled down to determine what Jerry Lee's saying.<BR/>Evvie: "I think he's just yawning".<BR/>Lil: "That's not funny!"<BR/>Ev: "Oh, it has to be funny?"<BR/>Then I got an idea, and I prompted the girls: "What do you always say right after breakfast? Or, you know, when I get up to visit the bif at 3:00 AM?" Two kitty blank stares. Me: "Oh come ON!!"<BR/>Then, with a little mumbling, sky-gazing, pondering and eyeballing, we came up with the "treat heeeeeere" idea as I hear some version of that many, many times daily. (Ev: "you do not, Mom!" Lil: "yes, she do, Ev, on account of we're the ones saying it, neener neener")<BR/>Following a vigorous game of "Catch Me and I'll Bite You" peace reigned and I typed it in. I'm SO glad it was found to be entertaining - it's the least I can do in exchange for the delight, merriment and joy the IBK bring to me every single day!dale-harriethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03802162735113365804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833186746180765380.post-37449993354835547342008-05-30T12:31:00.000-07:002008-05-30T12:31:00.000-07:00Thanks for such a fun contest, Laurie.
