Only the handful of you who follow the head peep on Twitter probably know this, but it was a rough week here last week. Our house got hit by lightning on Monday, and we spent the whole week finding things that didn’t survive the strike. By Friday, the head peep was really glad it was the end of the week. She came trudging up to the front door in the rain, because that’s what afternoon weather does in Florida this time of year, and she was surprised to see a box from Chewy.com waiting under the eaves.
We had just gotten a shipment from them the middle of the week, and she thought hard to remember whether anything had been left out of the previous shipment. Meanwhile, she was getting wetter and wetter in the rain while she thought. This is why we are the cats and she’s the human. Cats wouldn’t stand in the rain thinking.
Newton: Get in here already! What are you waiting for?
Newton in the window – a photo from last year. If the head peep doesn’t have the sense to come in out of the rain, at least she didn’t expose her phone to it to snap a photo of Newton.
She brought the box in and opened it to find a very nice note from Andrew and the team at Chewy thanking her for participating in the blogging program. What an unexpected surprise!
Pierre: While you’re reading that note, I’m just going to see what’s in here, okay? Read as slowly as you want so you don’t notice if I steal the good stuff.
Newton: Check out the packing material! This is awesome! If I run through the house with some of this, it’s going to decorate everything!
Ashton: Is this all for ME?
Newton: No, Ash, we all get to share.
Ashton: But…
Newton: Hey, this is taking the sharing thing a little far! I don’t think those are going to fit me.
A big thank you to team Chewy for the surprise package. We can’t wait to dig into the treats and share them with our cousins, too. You had no idea what a bad week the head peep was having, but extra thanks for making her smile when she really needed it.
(But could you ask her to stop trying to make us wear the sunglasses, please?)
We’re so sorry for the terrible week you all had, but we are very grateful everyone is ok! What a wonderful company and perfect timing. We hope this week is a little less stressful. PS sorry Newton but we love the fashion statement 🙂 hugs from the two and four legged friends up here in NY

Our kitties love those Instinct treats.
Sorry about the lightning strike, I am glad none of you got hurt. That is a nice gift box, what a great way to cheer you all up.
Aren’t the Chewy humans wonderful? Truffles is watching her mailbox for one of these goodie boxes 🙂 Glad you’re safe…how scary!!!
I so have to get back to Twitter so I can learn when pals are in need of comfort. What an awful experience and I am so relieved you are all safe. Thankfully we don’t often get any lightning here. And Chewy out Sid themselves!! We still need to do our a wild Buffaloe review…Friday for sure! Paw hugs, Savvy
A lightning strike hit your home – that must have been so scary. Thank goodness you are all OK. At least you’ve got some things to try in your goody box.
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
That sure was a bad week so Chewy was a purrfectly timed smile!
How horrible to have lightening strike your house! Thank cod no humans or kitties were hurt. And how wonderful Chewy knew how to perk all of you up!
I understand. Last week I was sitting in the kitchen and a bolt of lightening stuck nearby but it felt like it was under my chair. Even Annabelle took note, and I’ve noticed she isn’t much bothered by thunder and lightening. It was scary. Sorry to hear that your home got struck. I hope you didn’t lose any electronic devices.
guys…cranbereez…hope yur houz iz aye oh kay N glad everee one iz all rite…

♥♥♥♥♥
What a nice surprise! I am sorry that your house got hit by lightning. How freaky is that?
How nice! We received a package too, but it was filled with woofie stuff!
OH NO on the lightning strikes….we are thankful you are all ok. We’ve had two strikes once at our old house then at this one long before I was born. They are very scary.
Lightning is one of the reasons we’ve had all the tall pines removed…..lightning likes them.
Hugs madi your bfff
OMC, what a week is right! Long before me, my mom’s house was hit by lightning. She thought to unplug electrical stuff before the storm came but forgot the phones (and modems), and all that stuff died except for one old AT&T phone. No one got treats after that, though!
WOWOHWOWOHWOW! That’s an amazing package from Chewy! We can see quite a few treats we think we’ll like (well, except for Tutu, that is) but you can most certainly keep the sunglasses. MOL!
Oh how wonderful! Everyone needs a little smile once in awhile, and your mom definitely deserved the one she received from Chewy!
Whoa! Hit by lightning? That sounds way scary. It didn’t catch fire, did it? I’m glad Chewy treated you well. Those are all treats I wouldn’t eat but at least they’re not dog treats.
OMC, that had to be so scary. Was the head peep at home when the house was struck? Our 100+ year old oak tree went down in a wind storm a few years back. The crash was deafening when the tree hit the power lines. Mom was in the kitchen and fire shot out of the microwave! Hope things are back to normal. That is the most pawsome goodie box. Enjoy!

yoW! how scary about the lightning strike!!! we hope everybuddy is ok! What a nice surprise from the folks at Chewy! hey Newton, how about sharing some pics when you are done decorating the house in bloo papers? 😀
Pip, Smidgen, Minnie, Hollie
That was really nice of Chewy! But we agree that it WAS silly fer the Bein ta stand out in the rain thinking about it.
We didn’t have a bad week but it sure was a nice surprise to get our package. Made our week.
We have emailed you and left a comment on your blog but not had any response, so we assume you aren’t interested in a Mousebreath interview?
Oh my goodness, so sorry to hear about the lightening strike, how scary! Purrs to you all, what a great package from Chewy to help cheer the Head Peep up for sure.
but you look so good in those sunglasses! 🙂
There was a house down the street from us that got hit by lightening when I was a kid, punched a hole right in the middle of the roof.. was the oddest thing since there were trees near by..
OMC – we are here in St. Pete, and had some big storms, but nothing like a lightening strike. I hope things are all back to normal for you and calm and quiet.
Chewy to the rescue! They are so awesome over there and there is never any question that they love pets and their people.
So sorry you guys had such a terrible week. Thank goodness no one was injured when you were struck! What a great surprise to brighten things up 🙂 Hope this week is going better!
Marty and Mom
