jack!

This is a very old photo of my boy. jack was adopted through craiglist as well. We will never know why his previous mom and dad decided to adopt him out. But I am so glad they did. He is the biggest sweet heart i have ever met. He gives high fives and great hugs. Jack can and will happily fetch his toys  for you.  Jack is only a few months older then Lego. We got him so Lego will have a friend/brother when we moved out of a town house with roommates ( Lego had three cat friends there) 

Jack has a few bad points to him. He tries to be sneaky and steal food from your plate. But that's about it. He is the anti ninja! But he has gotten past us once or twice. 

jack loves petstages fishy fun toys to be tossed for him. He also likes to chase us around the house. Jack's song is "tub thumping" by chumbawumba just removed the Danny boy and replace Danny with Jackie boy.
Jack's nicknames are jackie, jacko, and  jackferd well i am sure there are more
His full name is Jack (ferd)inad Magsino

We love our orange cuddle bug

little bras bird news

we are meeting with voice actors on saturday. A lot of the people who contacted us were americans. I have nothing against that it's just we are looking for a certain sound. It just feels like when american men try to imitate a british accent it sound so snobby or phoney sophisticated. we also wanted an older actor because the voice needs to sound rough. 

 But the two I am looking forward to seeing are a young english man and an older irish man who lived in england. I did like hearing some of the voice clips. Lots of people gave us commercial samples including a man from new york and half of his work was about santa. We aren't going to go with him however because we would like to direct our voice actor. He will be doing every part on the script because this is going to run like a book on tape or a children's show with a narrater (think Paddington bear)  we would like him to sound like the Paddington bear narrator or like the narrator from BBC  Planet Earth.

I can't wait for a paycheck because that means more wade whimsies or a display case!!

Lego!

This is Lego. His name means play well. But he doesn't. Lego is very spoilt due to the fact he was the first cat we adopted. He picks on his sister and on the fish Alfa Beta. Lego loves to play with designer toys ie. gloomy bear. His mom was a feral cat living on the south side She was taken in by these lovely people while she was pregnant. She had four kittens two boys and two girls. The girls looked Siamese, Lego's brother was all black. 

He is the most talkative cat ever! He welcomes Rhodrick home(never me) Wakes us up in the morning so the other cats don't have to. He will eat the hair off you head to get you up.  Lego doesn't think he's a cat he thinks he's a baby. He will steal my spot on the bed so he can lay next to his dad. He will typically put his head on the pillow and his body will be resting on the bed.  We also talk and hold conversations with Lego. It is very cute maybe one day I will record that on film. 

We change the lyrics to songs for our cats (it all started with my family dog named Abby, she had a song. then we also gave one to my parents current dog, more on them later) 
Lego's song is "Come Mr. Tally Man".. all the Dayo's become Lego.
Lego's full name is Lego Castle Magsino 
Fav. Things Gloomy bear arm, talking on the phone, jumping,cuddling,open windows(with screens of course) and popcorn(plain for the kitties and not microwaved), posing for the camera, looking oh so pretty and of corse cat treats

more on our other kitties later!
