The Holidays Are Here!

The holiday festivities definitely started this weekend for the Horton family!

On Friday night, I had my work Christmas party. We did a "festive" sweater themed party. We were to wear festive sweaters for a contest. Matt and I went to Ross and found me a doozy of a sweater for only $10! I tied for second place, but only because the winner's sweater had lights in it!

Corgi QUILT on eBay!

*SOLD*

I am selling the Pembroke Welsh Corgi quilt that I bought at the Corgi Picnic in August. I've never used it. I hate to give it up but I am hoping that it will go to a good home where someone will really cherish it. Here is the link on eBay!

Catapalooza!

This is an announcement for any of you who might be in the Seattle/King County area who also want a cat!


Join the Seattle Humane Society in Bellevue for Catapalooza, the most-meowed-about event of the year, on August 8 & 9 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Come visit with hundreds of kittens and cats of all types, from playful tabbies to snuggly Siamese, all available for on-the-spot adoptions to loving homes. Catapalooza is for kids and adults and will include:

Cat & Kitten Adoptions
Games, Activities and Prizes
Demonstrations on Cat First Aid and More

Along with the Seattle Humane Society, seven other local cat rescue organizations will participate, including Feral Care, Homeward Pet, King County Animal Control, MEOW, South County Cats, Purrfect Pals and Seattle Persian and Himalayan Rescue. There will be festive cat-centric activities for the whole family! "Cats have been great family members for about 4,000 years," said Brenda Barnette, chief executive officer for the Seattle Humane Society. "We've planned a day of fun so everyone can have fun learning why cats are so cool."


Catapalooza will be held at the Seattle Humane Society, located in Bellevue at 13212 SE Eastgate Way.
