Some friends of my human and her boyfriend are getting married today. My human has known the groom for 25 years, and her boyfriend has known him almost as long — do you realize how many kitty generations that is? They were registered at Amazon, and my human wanted to get them something nice, so she chose a Kindle.
There is only one problem with that: my book is not out on Kindle!
That is probably because Kindle does not have color yet, and my book has color in it. I hope Kindle gets it together soon so my book can be available on it. Anyway, I could not let them have a Kindle and not have my book, so I also am giving them a copy as a wedding gift.
Naturally, I had to pawtograph it. Donkey is their cat. There is an interesting story behind Donkey, and my human, and how Pat came to adopt her. Maybe if my human can get permission from Pat to run some photos of her here, I will tell it this week.
Wrapping a wedding present is serious business. Here I am giving the ribbon a taste test. Not only does it have to match the wrapping paper in appearance, but also in taste!
I had to sign the card too.
Trust me, wrapping a wedding present is not as easy as it looks! Once it was done, I had to do another taste test to make sure everything was okay. I hope they enjoy the book… and the Kindle!
We can’t get the Nook app out here *cry* Maybe I need to move closer to you Miss Sparkle…
All that attention to detail will be hugely appreciated, Sparkle. It shows real heart. Also paw.
We write too, in Malaysia mostly, but also in Singapore and Brunei.
A Kindle???! Dang, Sparkle,that is a NICE gift! And the best part is giving an autographed copy of your book! I sure hope they appreciate your thoughtfulness. 🙂 I am very jealous of them.
We have an iPad… can we get it on that?
Yes! It is available in ebook form on Barnes and Noble – you just need to download their free Nook app, which is available for iPad. Here is the link to the digital format of my book on B&N:

OHH Someone ELSE’S wedding. Ok, ok…. you had me going for a sec there.
I got my bookmark and am saving my pennies for the book. I noticed that it wasn’t on Kindle yet! Boo! I hope it comes out soon.
Mazel tov!
Wow, what a great and generous wedding gift…and a Kindle too! It’s weerd but dad sed to mom yesserday “gee, we haven’t been invited to a wedding a long time”. Dat is because alla mom and dad’s frends is already married and most of der kids is already married. Da only ones left would be da nieces or da nefew and dey is no where near gettin’ married. Mom sez if dad just wants to dress up, eat, dance and haf fun he could always take her out…
Gorgeous wrapping job, Sparkle. And what a nice gift, too. Your very own book! Who could ask for more?
That is so cool!!!
We think they will love the book best 😉

You wrapped a beautiful present! I’m looking forward to your book being
out on Kindle, but it would be difficult to pawtograph, too!
You’re an excellent wrapper, Sparkle!! We like to eat the bows too…very tasty!!
I bet your book is the best present they get!
I love weddings and choosing just the right gift – like you did!
Sparkle, is there no end to your talents? We never knew the paper and the ribbon were supposed to taste the same.
Mommy says your choice of gifts is wonderful.
pee ess: can you post what kind of ink you use for your pawtographs? Daddy has always wanted to do ours and make some art.
You’re so very generous Sparkle!! Your book is a perfect gift.
Great gifts and nice wrap job, Sparkle. We are impressed you didn’t shred the paper or ribbon…we would not have been able to resist making a mess of things!

Great wrapping job, Sparkle and we are very impressed with your consciencious taste testing as well…We’re sure they will love the gifts, but, of course, your book will be their favorite!..Happy Sunday, sweet girl…xoxo…Calle, Halle, Sukki
Mom says that she thinks a Kindle is one of the best wedding gifts she’s ever heard of…sure beats tableware or other items useless to a cat. We think they will love getting your book even more than the Kindle though…
You are so very thoughtful Sparkle, but that is just one of your special qualities!
Nice job wrapping Sparkle!
Well Done Sparkle, the present looks great !
What a great present!! You are a wonderful present-wrapper, Sparkle — I wish my kitties were so skilled! I hope your human and her boyfriends had a GREAT time at the wedding 🙂
You did a magnificent job of wrapping dat prezzie Sparkle. Maybe you could take dat job on as a “second job.” M says she’d pay you to wrap our prezzies.
How exciting! We’re sure they’ll LOVE their gifts.. . . . fang marks and all.
They are going to love your book and also that Kindle thing! What’d Binga and Boodie get them?
What a wonderful wedding present! Oh yeah, the Kindle is nice too!
Sparkle, you wrapped that up very nicely. The taste test is so important. We love your pawprints. Purrfect gift for the beans of Donkey. We especially want to hear about Donkey.
Take care and have a great Sunday.
I would be ecstatic to receive a present like that!
We’re sure they’ll enjoy the Kindle, but will love your book even more, particularly because it was pawtograghed and so specially wrapped.
Congratst to them both; we hope they have a happy, lasting marriage!
The Kindle is a lovely present, and a copy of your book even better. You have made a good job on the wrapping and the ribbon tasting.
Concats to your Human’s friends.
You are a true perfectionist, Sparkle!
