And the winner is...

Thanks to everyone who participated in our caption contest. This month’s winner is Terry Beyer with “Hey Tillie, did you know there was gum under here?” We loved that he thought of a dialogue between Tillie and Rocky.
Terry wins a night on the town in Corpus Christie, Texas. (Pictures to follow.)
Our runner up was Alana and Alex with “What? Me and the guys used to do this all the time back in New York!” In a New York accent, of course! They received, “Why Cats Paint” a quirky book about the artistic talents of our feline friends.
Since Rocky wasn’t mentioned in this wonderful book, he has requested a spot on this site to talk about his favorite pastime, “Where Cats Sleep”.

In the bed, cause its warm and fuzzy.

On the pillow. When Trey finally gets out of bed, this spot is nice and warm.

In the green bathtub, cause I can.

On the linens in the blue bathroom, again, because I can.

Under the desk. The hidden vent makes it oh so warm.

In the dresser drawers. After the laundry is put away, this is the ideal spot!

On top of the beautiful quilt Nikki and Nathan got Trey and Jason for their wedding. (I know they are going to hang it soon because they always pick me up when I try to sleep here and Trey says to Jason, "we've got to get this hung".)

On the floor, belly up!

Waking up. (A little scary).

Thanks to my owner Trey for posting these pictures.

Happy Birthday

My father, Terry, and Jason's grandmas, Nila Hoffman and Maxine Sherwood, all share the same birthday.
The following are some random events that occurred on this day, Jan. 10th throughout history:
On this day in 1942 The Ford Motor Company signed on to make Jeeps, the new general-purpose military vehicles desperately needed by American forces in World War II.
In 1945, Minnie Hulett Snyder, a former inmate at the Wyoming State Prison, passed away in Ogden, UT
1958 Jerry Lee Lewis' "Great Balls of Fire" reaches #1 on the country and r&b charts, #2 on the pop chart
In 1967 The first African-American senator elected by popular vote, Edward Brooke of Massachusetts, took his seat.
In 1971 Masterpiece Theatre debuts.
The last convertible Volkswagen Beetle was produced on this day in 1979.
In 1995 the "Late Late Show" with Tom Snyder premieres on CBS

Happy Birthday Terry, Nila, and Maxine! Wish we could be with you to celebrate! All our love, The Treysons

Caption Contest

Happy New Year! We decided to start a new blog tradition. New year, new traditions. Every month or so we'll post a picture for you, our family and friends, to create a funny comment. (Like the New York Times caption contest, but cooler...) Jason and I will judge all the comments and post a winner under the photograph. We haven't decided yet what the winner will get. Perhaps a Trey print or Jr. Game Warden badge from Jason. We'll post the prize with the winning information. (You know how we are with decision!) Good luck!
