Christmas Shopping with Sophie

November 30, 2015 26 Comments

Sophie and I took a field trip to PetSmart yesterday. We were scoping out the toys for Christmas gift ideas, visiting with Sophie’s foster mom, and also dropping off a food and toy donation to Circle of Friends Animal Society*. I tried to get Sophie’s input on gift ideas, but she was only interested in exploring the store…

​Until we got to the bird aisle, that is. THAT got her attention.

Mom, I think I know what I want for Christmas…
We enjoyed watching the birds for a bit, but then it was time to go. I had to pull Sophie away and explain to her why she couldn’t have a pet bird… 

Though we didn’t have any luck picking out Christmas gifts (all Sophie wanted was a bird), we did have a nice visit with Sophie’s foster mom. She runs the kitty adoptions for COFAS at PetSmart on Sundays. It had been a few months since we last saw her, so she was excited to see Sophie. It was good to catch up with her too. All in all, I’d say we had a successful and fun afternoon adventure! We will be looking forward to the next one. 

​*Please remember your local rescues during the holidays. The adoptable kitties deserve to have a Christmas too! We donated a few cases of canned food, a small bag of dry food, some treats, and several miscellaneous toys. Rescues can always use cat litter, beds, blankets, and paper towels too. A simple monetary donation is always appreciated as well. If you are unsure of what your local rescue may need, you can always call them and ask.

    Sophie, you are SO lucky – my human won’t let me look at the birds when I go to the pet store. She does not want me to stress them out, but I bet they would hardly notice me. The only critters I get to look at are the fish… and I will tell you a secret: I hate the fish!

    It sure looks like Sophie had a good time watching those birds! Great reminder to take care of your local rescue this season. We have some things set aside we need to take to our rescue, and this is a good time to do it.

    Sophie is too precious!! I love her because she is one of the few cats I have seen that actually appears to ENJOY her leash, you can tell she is totally comfortable and at ease, love it!

    We’ll be taking a donation of a variety of goodies to Angels of Assisi here in Roanoke as we did last year. Sophie is so adorable having her adventure. The photos are terrific. I bet she loved being able to get up close and personal to the birdies without being in her sling. Astrid is sending a bajillion kisses and all her love to Sampy. Love and hugs to all.

    Sophie, you look like you had such a great time watching the birdies. We always remember shelters at Christmas time, and even started a shelter project. Mommy is bringing a bunch of stuff to Tabby’s Place, and she donates money to local shelters, too.
