Last month, we received a package from
Gayle at Two Little Square Black Dogs!
Inside were local delights from Arizona
(bread mix & jelly) and a pretty ornament!
Goro & Niko were all over, too.
Goro, wait!
Adorable square dog card! Our hearts broke
when sweet dog Watson crossed Rainbow Bridge
in September - but he is always in our hearts.
I baked pecan bread.
Put prickly pear cactus jelly on top.
Prickly pear is fruity & very sweet.
I love this dessert from desert!
No, no, Goro. It's all mommy's.
Sorry, Goro. Here, let me give you
a nice belly rub...
Goro's prickly paw is furry & bittersweet♥
We enjoyed the gift very much.
Kisses to Gayle, thehamish & angel Watson!
What a lovely gift! We like the kitty address label and the square dog package print!
ReplyDeleteMom has never tasted prickly pear cactus jelly, but it sounds good.We like your prickly claws! MOL!

Baked pecan bread ... I have not had anything baked with pecans since I was a little girl in North Carolina.
ReplyDeleteIt must be so delicious !
Happy Holidays ~
awwwwwwwwwww
ReplyDeleteHow sweet to post this. When I saw the the first photo I thought wow someone had the same tape as me ! ! ! Then I took a better look. LOL !
I had so much fun finding you some Arizona treats. The pecans are from the Green Valley Pecan Farm.
I sent the same gift to my family in Japan, I hope they like it too.
Next time I will remember something for Goro and Nico.
And thank you again for the Totoro's !
cheers, parsnip
I hope the boys got to play in the box. TW is always telling me no too. We never had prickly paw, I mean pear.

ReplyDeleteWhat a pawsome gift! Though Goro, we think a belly rub would be better than prickly pear. ;)
ReplyDeleteDearest Tamago,
ReplyDeleteOh, how inquisitive our kitties always are! They are the first that want to see what's inside a box...
Yeah, prickly paw we know too.
Lovely gift and how delicious your pecan bread looks!
This week was not a happy week as we took 3 of the 4 siblings to the Vet for the rabies shot of 3-years.
Bandido and Spunky in their wicker pet baskets, oh how Bandido cried - terrible. All the way in the car and it's only 5 minutes. His sister gave up sooner.
Next day tiny sister Tiggy-Tiger got to go, she was easy. But brother Spooky we don't dare to catch and push inside the wicker basket. For weeks I tried to have it open in the office, with treats inside but he already knows. But he would probably use his prickly paw on us when we would catch him.
Pieter wanted to cuddle with Spunky, after she came back and ate supper. She was on the retainer wall and when Pieter scooped her up, she lashed out to him. His lip and mouth corner bleeding from prickly paw and she usually is the sweetest girl!
Hate to do this to them... and I'm only worried about Spook. He once got injured above his eye and my guess is that it was a human who inflicted that onto him. So we don't want to cause any further trauma. Let's hope he stays healthy!
Hugs to you,
Mariette
That sounds like a lovely gift ! Your pecan loaf sounds very delicious. We have never tried prickly pear jam. It sounds tasty :) Goro, do you have prickly Goro paws?! ;p
ReplyDeletethe critters in the cottage xo
What a lovely box of goodies you got. Glad to see the boys were being so helpful. lol Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice gift! But my human kind of paused when you mentioned pecan bread - pecans are her favorite nut and she wants the recipe!
ReplyDeleteLooks also very tasty!
ReplyDeleteI love the way our kitties hold our hands ... wrapping their little paws around our hand and hanging on tight .. Minette sometimes uses her claws to be sure I don't go away :) Merlin just lays there and holds my hand and purrs.
ReplyDeleteOh, that's a lovely parcel!!! We think, however, your Mom is a bit cheap because she says no all the time???? Aren't all gifts, especially when they come in parcels, for cats??
ReplyDeleteP.S. Did you get any comments on your ring?
DeleteWhat a pawsome gift. And yeah, sadly, Moms do tend to say NOOOOOO to all the good stuff we wanna do.

Dearest Tamago-san; Oh My, I was REALLY happy to see your new post♬♬♬ So sorry for my belated comment (as usual). To tell the truth, I rarely check my dashboard so it is always after I visited friends to see their new post(^^;)
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to received the special package from friend♡♡♡ Haha, I had no idea about both pecan bread and prickly pear cactus jelly. I wish I could try the new sweet I've never had♪
Lovely to read you said ”Goro's prickly paw is furry & bittersweet”; Yes, your boys are always your angels♡♡♡

ReplyDeleteWhat a nice and thoughtful gift! That prickly pear cactus jelly sounds delicious. Sorry you did not get any, Goro. And sorry Mom did not get to rub your belly.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind message in the wake of Moosey’s passing. It meant so much to us. He was a very special boy, and we love and miss him with all of our hearts. The outpouring of love and support by dear friends like you has been such an encouragement during this difficult time.
Hugs,
Kevin, Tracey, Gracie and Zoe
What a very sweet gift (pun intended)! Looks like there some something for everyone in it -- jelly and ornament for Mom, box and paper for furry boys!!
ReplyDeleteHow thoughtful that they shared gifts from their part of the country. Sorry, Goro, but I'm sure Santa will bring you lots of presents - you and Niko are always on his Nice List!
