A Mystery Package

Pierre: Hey, Ashton, what are you up to?

Ashton: I think I got mail.

Pierre: Your chicken emporium got mail! And it’s from our friend Connie at Tails from the Foster Kittens. She knows all the best cat stuff, so it must have something great inside.

Ashton: I can’t get it open. The humans need to use those metal claw things to help so we can see what’s inside.

Pierre: Why don’t you find them and get them to help? I’ll wait right here.

Ashton: Okay.

Pierre: I can’t believe she fell for that one. she has claws to open things just like I do. Let’s see what Connie sent to Ashton.

Pierre: OMC, it’s a chicken, and it’s full of catnip!

Pierre: Not just any catnip, but really, really good catnip. I’ve got to rub this on my stripes right now!

Pierre: What? You’ve never seen a cat rub chicken-shaped catnip on his stripes before?

Pierre: There’s more in the package, but I’ll get back to it later. Right now, I need to say thank you to Connie for being so thoughtful to send a surprise to Ashton. I might even share it with her when she finally comes back with someone to cut the envelope open.

Pierre: Especially big thanks because the head peep had a rough time this holiday season, and your package made her laugh a lot when she needed things to smile about. She is lucky to know people like you. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to drool on this catnip a bit more…

    Pierre, you sneaky little guy! That is a very cool present for Ashton…we bet she will get a big kick out of it due to digging chickens in a big way :)! We think of you all often and wanted to wish you a Happy New Year and a 2017 filled with tons of blessings, light and love! (Purrs and good thoughts to the Head Peep.)

    Uh-oh, you are going to drool on Ashton’s gift? That is not going to go over well.

    I don’t think Ashton will be very pleased with you when she sees that not only have you opened her package, you have drooled on her nippy chicken too.

    Um, does Ashton know you’re drooling on her chicken, Pierre? You better watch out! That was nice of Miss Connie to send a gift.

    How kind of Connie to send this package! We look forward to seeing everything, but it may not be pretty for Pierre once Ashton figures out he drooled on her chicken!

    What a nice gift! That was very thoughtful of Connie! That was pretty tricky of you to get Ashton to leave so you could get her chicken!

    But is it chicken-flavored drool?? Our Dad says chicken rub is good on chicken, but something tells us nip isn’t the rub he’s talking about. That Connie sure knows the best stuff in the world!

    What a thoughtful gift ! We’re not sure that Ashton will be thrilled when she sees that you rolled and drooled on her chicken toy, Pierre. Purrs
