Square Dancing and Cats – HAPPY SPRINGTIME FUN
Posted By drsao on March 21, 2008
My friend Ginger, and her husband, Carl, gifted my grandangels with some square dance clothing.
Little did they know what adventures that their clothing would have in their new home!
Actually Ginger gave the girls, Leanna and Sarah, several beautiful outfits (many of them she made herself) with beautiful fluffy petticoats.
The girs had SO MUCH FUN dressing up and dancing. The petticoat made the skirt even more twirly!
Cooper, age 4, could barely stand to stand idly by with all of the twirling and giggling going on – so his sisters gladly dressed him up so that he could join in the DANCING fun.
I think Cooper may have felt a little bit embarrassed (maybe his Papa helped him with the concept that boys generally do not wear dresses.)
I noticed later that he had tried to redeem his manhood by dancing in an alternate costume….but somehow that Super Man Costume just didn’t quite fit with his sister Sarah’s square dance costume!
Thankfully, Carl came to the rescue of Cooper’s manhood – and sense of style – and generously contributed a square dance shirt! YEAH
Cooper was thriled and ran to get his LIGHT SABRE – and called it his SQUARE DANCING JEDI SHIRT.
Cooper not only had fun being manly – but he wore the shirt all evening –
– it looks like he is about to fall asleep on the floor in front of the TV playing his STAR WARS VIDEO GAME – still wearing the JEDI shirt!
Now you may be wondering where the CATS part of this blog entry comes in……
I had one of Ginger’s petticoats hanging in my closet; however every time I went into my closet that petticoat was off its hanger and was lying on the floor in a heap. Day after day – the same thing happened. I hung the petticoat up and the petticoat somehow ended up back on the floor.
I finally wrapped it around the hanger and pinched the skirt closings down tight – hoping that this would solve the problem. However, this presented a NEW dilemma – our little kitten Cuddles TINKERBELLE became so distressed – she was in my closet MEOWING at the top of her little lungs – while looking UP intently at that petticoat.
HM, I said to my “self,” I wonder what this is all about. I HAD TO FIND OUT. She actually appeared to be looking straight up at that petticoat.
So, I loosened the grip of the SKIRT PINCHERS on the square dance petticoat and stepped back to watch what happened (with my camera in hand.)
Little Cuddles batted that petticoat down onto the floor and plopped right in the middle where she settled down and stretched out for a nap.
Now, who would have thought that Ginger’s petticoat would become a VALUED “featherbed” for a little kitty.
It’s a bit hard to tell from the picture, but she is happily lying upside down amidst the soft ruffles.
