Pooki

The following post is a direct copy & paste from the Johnson-Cordray Xmas blog page. Though it does not actually show any pictures of Pooki, it mentioned her so I decided to include it.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 25, 2009

This year is the 2009 Johnson-Cordray family Xmas! We had a full house this time around! In attendance were: Dyani, Jason, Miyuki, Hiromi, Janet, Dan, Jyunko, Judy, Nathan, Jamie, Clark, Erin & Gelie... cats: Buyo, Beachwalker, Squeenky & Pooki... and in spirit (meaning, they were the next street down from our house in Janet/Dan's backyard) were doggies: Starsky & Hutch.

We had so many guests this year (a new record) that we ran out of stockings. I had to get a few special orders from my mom, used childhood stockings for my brother & me, Pooki had an Xmas bag & Squeenky had to settle for an Xmas kitty potholder.

My mom (Jay) made all the stockings. There is the set of like 10 that are all alike that we can use for different guests every year (I just tape a picture of our faces to the fronts). There are the 2 smaller stockings that were for our first 2 cats (we had them for 5 years before any other cats came along). There were, this year, 2 special-order stockings for my in-laws (Dan & Janet). There were 2 special-order stockings in doggy-theme for the California Cordray's dogs. And since we were running low on stockings, I used my brother's & my childhood stockings for, well, my brother & me.

Beachwalker fetches her new toy! Unfortunately for us, her favorite toy of all time has become a collectors item & can only be found on ebay!

Pooki & Squeenky were shy & we didn't see them around. We found out later that they had been creeping in & out of the room & into the tree, but never where we could see them & maybe take a picture of them.
