A Big Surprise in the Mail

Newton: An unexpected surprise came in the mail for us the other day… a lovely thank-you gift from our friends at Chewy.com in the form of a set of amazing portraits of us. Of course, mine is the handsomest of the portraits, by far.

Ashton: Well, mine isn’t handsome because I’m a girl and I’m beautiful, not handsome. But look at this! It’s amazing. Lauren Hammack from Off the Wall Paintings did a fabulous job of capturing my wink.

Pierre: This painting is actually of the head peep’s favorite photo of me. We’re sure that neither Chewy nor Miss Lauren could have known that, but it’s extra-special that the image of me was made from that photo of me inside the paper bag.

A big thank you to Chewy.com for the big surprise, and to Lauren Hammack for taking their commission and doing such a beautiful job with the portraits. We absolutely love them!

Chicken Preparation Rules

Ashton: I’ve got to get working on my chicken emporium. Newton, stop taking up all of my time with the tablet. I need to look up information about chicken.

Newton: Hang on! I’m doing research for you right now.

Ashton: What are you reading about?

Newton: Rules.

Ashton: I’m a cat. I don’t follow rules. I also don’t take turns. Give me the tablet!

Newton: It says here that there’s a law that you have to wear a hair net over all of your hair when you work in a foodservice or food preparation area.

Ashton: Over all of my hair?!

If you didn’t see them before, you can catch up on all of Ashton’s chicken capers.

Words for Wednesday: Chicken Emporium

Ashton: I loved all of the name suggestions that you had for my chicken restaurant! After a lot of thought, I decided it’s going to be called Ashton’s Chicken Emporium.

Thanks so much to Clooney for the help thinking it up. I can’t wait to get started taste testing!

Reaching New Heights the Ashton Way

Ashton: You have seen lots of photos of me on the cat tree, but do you know how I get up there? Sure, you kitties might jump, but I don’t like to jump anywhere. So here’s my method: First, I climb up the cat tree a little.
