Sparkie!!

One of my favorite things to do is to tease Sparkie. One afternoon we were playing hide and seek in the living room and it was Sparkie's turn to hide so she jumped into mammas basket filled with dried hydrangeas. Ok, we didn't know at the time that the dead looking weeds had a name but I learned pretty quickly that they are actually hydrangea and mamma picks them from a bush in the yard and arranges them into a basket to look pretty. Who knew all that!! Sparkie sure didn't because she saw those weeds as a cool place to hide. She jumped into the basket and tried to cover up with them so that I couldn't find her. About the time she got comfortable mamma walked into the room and took one look at the basket of cat and was very angry, it seems that when Sparkie jumped into the basket she crushed the flowers and they dropped off the stems and onto the floor and the bottom of the basket.

We both got into big trouble for that. I don't get it that she was mad at me, I was on the other side of the room watching. But she yelled at us both. Here is a photo of Sparkie hiding in the basket. Don't ya think this is a great place for a cat to hide!
