Happy Birthday to Meow

Last Thursday, Maddie decided a celebration was in order for Pickles' first birthday. As you can obviously tell from the picture, the kitten was thrilled to death at the prospect of wearing a special "birthday collar" to commemorate this occasion.

Oh, and the hat, too. Pickles literally meowed something to the extent of "I love this hat!" No, really, she did. I swear, but not on a stack of bibles.

The Saga of the Crabcake Continues...

So, it was mentioned earlier that Crabcake was missing in action. Well, he still is, but a replacement has been adopted into Maddie's Littlest Pet Shop Family. Fearing any semblance of originality, we've decided to stick with the name Crabcake Junior.

Crabcake Junior has fit in really well, as all the other lifeless, plastic toys (er, I mean cute and loving Pet Shoppers) have accepted him into the fold. However, Madison remains ever vigilant to protect this little fellow from the dark forces that took away his predecessor.

Recent evidence points to our kitten, Pickles, as having some hand (or paw, if you will) in the disappearance of our first Crabcake. Madison has made it absolutely clear that she has no doubt in her mind Pickles is guilty. In fact, she went so far as to post wanted signs throughout our house. Poor Pickles, she's so misunderstood in her murderous ways.
