Thursday Dibs and Dabs

Hello friends! For those of you who saw the mousie sneaking up on Raymond earlier this week, this was the outcome! 

Just keep your voice down mousie and let me nap! I am a very busy Judge these days. 



In other news, lovely payola packages have been arriving at our house ever since the news broke that we are judging the Kitteh category of Mango Minster 2011 !
Oooh, Tiffany! Crystal bowls for we esteemed judges to eat from, no doubt!


Somecat (we won't mention any names) sent us 30 bags of Greenies! You can see Judge Busby was stunned by such a generous bribe, er, uh, GIFT. 
Wow, this cat's entry in the Mango Minster just started moving way up in the rankings. 
Finally, in news of a personal nature, our blog Mom finally got a job! Yes, after ten months of virtual unemployment our Mom had a second interview yesterday at Renee's Garden Seeds and GOT THE JOB! She will be their Data Entry Specialist. Word is she gets to bring home whatever seeds she wants. Our Thursday garden reports should be a lot more colorful this year! 


All in all, a great day! Hope you are enjoying your Thursday too. Don't forget, only the first twenty entries can compete in each category of the Mango Minster. We look forward to seeing your bribes entries. As judges, we cannot comment on the entries but we are reading them as they come into Mango-Central. 


xoxo, Judges Raymond and Busby

    What excellent news on the work front! After Khyra's Mom, you are the second of our friends who is kicking off 2011 with a new job. Hurray!

    Bibi would like to say he is sending you nothing more than a deep bow of respect to honour your position as judges, since he is a fine pure-hearted kitty!

    Purrs,

    We had heard that you were judging US. We shall have to save our allowance so we can send you a proper gift. Perhaps we could catch a real live mousie for you? Or would you prefer a goose? We has two large ones down at our pond.

    That is great about your Mom working at a seed place and getting to bring home seeds. We are looking forward to seeing what you grow in your garden this year.

    We haven't even entered the contest and we are feeling compelled to send you gifts anyway. I mean you might judge something in the future, right? But...I judged a contest once and no one sent me anything. Sigh. Not even a bit of cheese.

    Big concats to your blogging mom getting a great job!! Woo hoo! Niptinis for all!

    As Your Honors know, or should have been advised in your judging packets, Abby [Legal Beagle(mix) Extraordinare] is the [self-appointed] Guardian of Judicial Ethics for Mango Minster 2011. Just to remind the honorable judges that bribery is strictly prohibited and that the highest standards of judicial ethics will be upheld during MM 2011. Your Honors being cats, Abby is aware that ethics is a concept with which you may have difficulty, so she will let this one deviation pass. Please be advised, however, that Abby's vigilant [or vigilante - sometimes she gets those confused] eyes will be upon you. And she has a VERY strong prey drive.

    Jed & Abby. L.B.E.
