Christmas 2005- My Sister Won!

It was a great Christmas. After all the presents were opened, my sister won the prize for the craziest gift award. She gave our Mom a “Pet Stroller”. Mom has a young cat named “Katy”. Sis thought that, instead of forcing Katy to perform the tiresome chore of walking on her own personal feet, Mom can put her inside the stroller and push her where she needs to go. For example, she could push Katy to the park, and if the kitty sees a chipmunk and wishes to pursue it, Mom could actually do the running, while the kitty most likely will scream with delight from the safety and comfort of her pet stroller. This stroller is also a good way to walk pets that otherwise might be housebound, such as squid. (These descriptive comments are taken mainly from Dave Barry’s Gift Guide.)

Mom is apprehensive about walking the kitty on her street since the neighbors may interpret this behavior as strange. (No kidding!) I explained that Wal-Mart would be a good training area for her new present. Mom was NOT amused with my suggestion. Katy currently hops in her stroller and Mom strolls her around the living room, into the kitchen, and ending in the bedroom. Oh, what fun! Next year I have to search for the gift that is the craziest. I am now on eBay looking for an automated skateboard for Katy – of course it will have a training video, safety helmet equipped with a cam recorder, and kneepads.

Have a great New Year. Will see back on the Blog in 2006!
