Title Change: Fergi's Hedgehog

OK
We're gonna start by saying
We changed the Title of this BlogPost
It was originally "Boycott Boring"
Which will make sense if you read clear through the Post
and click on the Christmas Tree Link when you're done


But
We're afraid
That had sent a Negative Tone
and
If you know us you know
We are far from Negative
(Or, at least, that's what we believe about ourselves)
(and we're pretty sure most would agree)


So
Instead
The Focus is now on Fergi
(with many many many Thanks
to the friends who have graciously acknowleged and supported her
in oh so many ways.)




Anyway


We originally started like this:


We're sorta bad about Awards
We've got a long history of receiving them
and
A longer History
of waiting forever to post about them

But something just promoted an Exception
Sort of

Weeks ago
From TwoDifferentVerySpecialFriends
Fergi (and Both of Us)
Received a VeryNiceAward
(thank you thank you thank you thank you)

We've been meaning to Follow the Rules
and
Tell ya all about Fergs
(Things you might not know about her)

About her eight year History as a Puppy Mill Breeder
About her Rescue and Adoption
and
All About the Progress she is making
and
About how much we love her and how much she loves us.

There are Lots of good Stories
and
There's been Lots of Progress

But we want to focus on One Thing

A VerySpecialToy she received last Spring
from her Friends Lacie, Scruffy and Stanley


It came with a Note
'Cause her pals from the Burgh know her pretty well

And they were mostly right
Fergi liked to cuddle with it on her BigBed

But
That All Changed

The toy was a Egg Toys Hedgehog
Made by Kyjen Innovative Dog Products

It became the first (and, so far, only) Stuffie
That Fergi has been interested in playing with


You see
Even still, Fergi is very timid and very easily scared

After eight years of nothing but making babies
in the confines of a wire crate
Even after two years with us
She's not yet learned about the fun of Stuffies or Balls or OtherToys
(Though she loves paper and crunchy leaves ... and, well ...
dirty clothes)

But this Toy was different.
Know why?

'Cause Moma buried treats in the innerds
Put 'em in through the slot in the Hedgehog's belly
And Fergi would work and work to get those treats out

We've even got some Video of her playing.

Me?
I love the Eggs that come inside.
Personally, those Hedgehog Eggs are the best toy in the Basket!
(Watch for a Video.  Moma promised to try to make One!
She'll update this post with it
If I ever quit begging for whatever is baking in the Oven
and decide to play with my Eggs, instead)

ANYHOW
The reason for all this writing
(and the reason we thought of the Hedgehog
 ... which reminded us about Fergi ...
... which reminded us about the Award we never have acknowledged ...
(thank you thank you thank you)
or 
... publicly thanked our VerySpecialFriends for ...
We learned about a SpecialDeal 
that Kyjen Products is putting together.

And we've decided to take part.

Know why?
'Cause the GrandPrize is a BigPile of Everything
(One each of their Current Products)

Which we would just LOVE to win!

You know why???
'Cause we'd LOVE to donate them to some Rescues and Shelters
That could share them with Doggies (like we were)
Who could really really use NicePressies and SpecialToys

Just like we said in an earlier BlogPost
We don't really want (and certainly don't need)
Any New Pressies

We just wish all the dogs who won't be getting anything Special this Christmas
Could know the Joy of a VerySpecialGift.

So
Here's the deal
It's simple.

All you have to do
is Click on the Link on Our Sidebar
It's the Christmas Tree up at the top

That's all
Just go visit Kyjen's website

Of course
It would help if you tell others about our Link
and 
Send them to OurBlog
So THEY can click on the Link, too.

(Kyjen will know the visitors came from OurBlog)

That's all.

The more visits Kyjen gets that come from our Blog
The more likely we might win

and

The more likely we can make sure a whole load of SpecialToys and DogStuff
Gets donated to some Dogs and Places that could really use it.

Could you help us out?
Please?

We'd be so excited to be able to make this happen!

So
All you need to do
is Click on the Link
and Spread the Word

In the Meantime
Moma's gonna try to help us come up with a Contest
to help make this worth it to YOU!

(Any Ideas?)
(Moma's sort of preoccupied with Getting Out of Town
So she's not thinking too clearly or creatively)

And, like we said,
She's gonna make a video of me with the eggs
If I cooperate

One more Thing

We'll be Honest

If we win
There might be one or two things that Moma might think
We might play with
and
 Maybe just maybe we could keep one each for ourselves

There ARE some AmazinglyCoolThings on their website
(Some Moma might even have to inquire about for us!)
and
It's not too late to order some for Christmas

Go Click On Our Link
NOW!

xxoo
Jake and Fergi
(Who STILL need to get to those Awards!)

(Pee esS:  We think we're "okay" to post a post like this
but if we're not s'posed to
and somebody knows that
Would you tell us?
We're just TwoSpecialWires who don't know much
about this sort of stuff.
We're just learning.)

We don't need a contest to help need pups have a better Christmas...it is just a click! We hope you win and that the company is so moved by your idea that they give you extras. We will send others your way!

Soggibottom said...

Humm........................ not sure about this because ........ someone had been thoughtful enough to think of you... to start with.. Maybe you should accept the award and be gracious.... AND THINK HOW BLESSED YOU ARE !

Martha said...

We have no problem clicking. We are so happy you have grown to like your hedgehog Fergi.
Like Martha we know you never had toys before but like her you are learning.
With every passing day you are getting braver.
We cant see the video right now for some reason but will watch it later on You Tube.
We know how lovely it is to receive Awards but we confess we are pretty bad about following the rules too......!
Well done for supporting Rescues - you know you will get no argument from us.
Much love
Martha and Bailey xxx
