was thinking about taking a nap on top of the heat vent when the human asked me what I was going to write about today. told him maybe I was gonna write about the joys of napping on top of heat vents and was getting ready to do some research and he suggested I write a holiday meme instead. asked him if this involved me dressing up in some goofy outfit and he said no, were finished trying to get that picture.

“what I should write about?”

“I had this idea where you use the twelve days of Christmas and write the first day then pass it along to someone who writes the second day, then they pass it along to someone else who writes the third day, and so on.”

“or”, I said, “or the person who writes the second day passes it along to two people, who each write the third day and then they pass it along to three people who each write the forth day and pass it along to four people, and so on.”

“Well, lets not get carried away. That’s for the second person to decide.”

“okay.”

so we went internet surfing and eventually came across this truly outstanding picture of a treed cat.

“Use this.” he said, and he even put a red bow on it for me.

so then I came up with this:

(ahem)
on the first day of Christmas the human gave to me,
a kitty cat stuck way up in a tree                    (Nooter the Dog)

“now how do we decide who goes next?” I asked.

“Lets put all your blogging friends names in a hat and draw one.”

thats when I got defensive.

“I knew this was all a trick to get me to dress up in a hat! youre evil and I wont do it!”

“Good grief, settle down. We don’t have to use a hat. We can use something else.”

“can we use one of your tasty new shoes?” I asked

“No. Here, we’ll use this basket.”

he proceeded to write down all the names of my friends and put them in the basket then the phone rang so he went in the other room to get it and just then my tummy rumbled and those slips of brown paper kinda reminded me of strips of bacon and…

when he came back there was one strip of paper left.
so, hooray for ettarose! its now up to you to keep the ball rolling!
