The Best Kind of Boxing

 Arty here today with some #Chewyinfluencer fun!

 

 As some of you might know I am allergic to bunches of things.  As a result, Mama tends to keep me on a low grain/grain free diet. When Natalie and Kristen asked if I would like to try out one of their famous Chewy.com Goody Boxes,  I jumped at the chance to try the Grain-Free Goody Box!

We were given a  Grain Free Goody Box from Chewy.com

in exchange for mine(and maybe Mama's) honest to goodness, true blue opinion.

 OMD...all these nommy things just for ME?? 5 or more grain free items all in one delicious box! Maybe I'll share a FEW of my goodies with Jakey and Rosy, but the yellow duckie is ALL MINE!!

Chewy.com has a pawesome selection of boxes that would be a great gift for any puppy, and they even have special kitty Goody Boxes boxes too!

In fact...Rosy will be back next week to tell you more about the other boxes next week!

Chewy.com sure knows their boxes!

Ahoy Landlubbers!!

We is hopin' your day be heaped with loads of buried treasure!

Thanks to Ann @ Zoolatry for the Badge

Remembering Madi, Come Laugh With Us

We still haven't been able to find words that express how much we re going to miss Blogville's Mayor Emeritus, Expert Diva and classic Southern Kitty Gal, Madi.
She was one of Dory's first Blogville Pals and her very first BFFF(Best Feline Friend Furrever). Dory and Madi met almost 10 years ago when she and her Mom left us this comment:

 That's when the fun began!! Through thick and thin, blog breaks and even when we moved across the country to California,  Madi was always there for us.

 From teaching Blogville how to twerk at one of Dory's Birthday Pawties....

 to visiting Lighthouses together!

We were so delighted to hear her guy Raz was organizing a special tribute for Madi!
(click HERE to visit Raz and get more information)

On September 26th, put together a post remembering Madi and make sure to include the color red and try to make us smile! You can write a poem or haiku, or maybe take a picture of yourself doing a bit of boxing and hop aboard the Come Laugh with Us Blog Hop! Don't forget to visit Raz HERE for more information.

(The Blog Hop is set up HERE if you would like to pre-post)

We can't wait to hop around Blogville and smile as we honor

our Favorite Diva Kitty!

 

You can stop by HERE to leave your condolences for Madi's Mom and Dad.

A Diva Moment...
