Congratulations to Haley and Jan! You are The Tiniest Tiger’s Whoops! Wednesday Winners! Everyone that posted a comment was entered. The winners were chosen by a random number generator!
My mom and I are both left pawed so I bet we will have another Whoops! Wednesday in the future. You know the ink sort of smears…things like that.
Thank you everyone for all of your Whoops! stories.
Happy Wednesday Friends! I am calling today Whoops! Wednesday. My mom and I were cleaning the office and we found some copies of The Tiniest Tiger and when we looked inside the front cover, we said “Whoops!”
I will show you why.
Inside this copy the writing is very nice. You can read the writing and it is flowing the way it is supposed to flow. My paw-tograph is nice and solid too.
Now here is an example that made us say Whoops!
Even though my paw-tograph is nice and solid. My mom meant to write the name Avery but for some reason her left paw wrote Abery. Whoops!
Here is another example.
Here my paw slipped while trying to paw-tograph this copy. I tried to make it better with a second paw-tograph but it just made the messy one look even messier!
Whoops!
So we have decided to have The Tiniest Tiger’s Whoops! Wednesday
Today we will be giving away 2 copies of The Tiniest Tiger that are Whoops! copies.
There is nothing wrong with the books other than a little messy hand writing and/or maybe a slipped paw-tograph.
If you would like to win a Whoops! Wednesday copy of The Tiniest Tiger
Leave a comment here on our Conservation Cub Club below this post telling me something little you did that made you say Whoops!
I will announce the winners on
Thinking About Tigers Thursday!
(that is tomorrow)
My whoops just came 10 minutes ago. My apartment manager dont like kitties. I jumped out the window to go see my friend Jill in the courtyard. (she’s a human) and I seen B.J. the Dragon Lady and had to sneak back inside before she saw me. My human lets me go out without a harness and leash. She says a leash makes me safer. It makes me not wanna go outside. So I am stuck inside with nothing to do. I sure could use a book to read to pass the time.
Hi Gracie!
I think it’s so neat you take the time to personally autograph all your books for your fans! It takes a very special kitty to keep that from going to her head. >^..^<
Did you see your review on PetsWeekly? Sorry it took so long to transfer from the old site. Sigh. Things have been crazy. But, you're on the front page. http://www.petsweekly.com
My whoops! moment happened back in the winter of 1988. I was dating a frumpy, stuffy, incredibly proper young attorney. We were in our 4th month of dating, and he had yet to ever so much as hold my hand. Not being one to rush things, I decided to wait him out. One dark, icy February afternoon, he took me to an art gallery for a date. When we were leaving the gallery, he escorted me back to his car, opened the door for me, and whoops! I hit a patch of slippery ice and slid right underneath the car like a rag doll with no will of my own! Instead of sitting IN my seat, I landed ON my seat. I think he might have even touched my arm as I struggled to stand back up again. My dignity was quite sore! He never asked me out again, but I will never forget that whoops! moment. Oh, and he did not like my kitty cat, so maybe I dodged a real bullet by having that whoops! moment after all.
I have a morning routine with my kitty, as we all do. The first thing I do in the morning is feed Willie. Part of that routine is sprinkling 1/2 of a Cosequin capsule over his food. I leave the capsule on the kitchen counter. Next, I go upstairs and get ready for work. When I come downstairs again, I eat my breakfast, take my vitamin, and leave for the day. The evening routine is to sprinkle the other 1/2 of the Cosequin capsule over Willie’s dinner. Well, about a year ago, I came home from work and got Willie’s dinner ready for him but I looked and looked for Willie’s capsule. I couldn’t find it anywhere–but my vitamin was still there!! Whoops! I had taken Willie’s Cosequin capsule instead of my vitamin that morning.
Back when I was a political reporter in Maryland, I got invited to the annual governor’s press breakfast. I am not real good with mornings, Gracey, and I had to speed, I mean drive, 30 mins to be there at 7:30 am. The Md. governor’s mansion is very old, and inside is very beautiful and formal. We had breakfast at a giant oval table, served on china that was almost 200 years old. Fortunately, there was lots of free coffee. I like sugar in my coffee, too, so I took the dainty spoon and put some sugar from the little cup placed so conveniently right next to my plate and stirred it all up. Except then I tasted the coffee, and it was SALTY!! I did not know that in olden times, people had a small SALT server with a dainty spoon next to their plates!! And I desperately needed coffee, so I had to get the server to get me a fresh cup without attracting too much attention. That was a big, funny WHOOPS moment for me!
I have a cat who mainly eats canned food (fish flavored!) Because, due to a recent illness, she is missing a few teeth and that makes it difficult to chew dry food. I have other cats who eat nothing but dry. Well, yesterday, I went to feed Jinxy, that’s her name, and realized I had only ONE CAN LEFT! She eats 2-3 cans a day! WHOOPS! Then I tried to give her chicken as a substitute, which she wouldn’t eat, probably because it wasn’t fish! Luckily, I had called a friend that morning and told her of my predicament and she brought some food over for me after she got off work! (Whew!)
Whoops!!! My orange tabby sister, Sadie, and I LOVE to look out the windows!! I get to go outside from time to time with our big momma cat Tiggy – she is a labrador and purrs loudly at us when we want to snuggle with her. Outside in our jungle we have a post with hanging things that attract pretty birds..I LOVE THE BIRDS!! I run to greet them and they run from me. I am told not to do that but I get SO excited!! Sadie cannot come outside as she jumps too high and disappears from the jungle enclosure! I do not have a fig tree but a tree I like to pull the leaves off of because it sits in front of my window–whoops!! I don’t think Mom knows I’m plucking the leaves..please don’t tell her! Thanks Gracey!!
Hi, my name is Comet and I’m posting this for my mom. My Whoops momemt is kind of ongoing. I like to drink my water out of cups. Just like my mom and grandpa! I only get into trouble if I can’t reach the water and there is no one around to help. I only try to tip the cup a little bit but it always ends up falling over and the water goes everywhere! Whoops!
Last weekend I had a big Whoops! while we were camping…
Early in the morning my husband woke me up to say he was taking the two older boys up the road to fish, and he’d be back later. That left me with our youngest, who just turned 2. An hour or so later I realized all the diapers and wipes were in the van with my husband. So I was hoping we’d get by until he got back. But no…toddler had a messy diaper. To make matters worse he doesn’t LIKE having a messy diaper, so he took it off when I wasn’t looking, and THEN fell on his butt in the sand… can you imagine the mess? And me with no wipes, diapers, or change of clothes. I DID have a pot of warm water over the campfire, so we were doing our best to clean up under the circumstances when, fortunately, the guys returned…
Yikes!
Barley and Raven say this is why we should just stay home and attend to their every desire instead of going on vacation…
Hi Gracey! My name is Peanut and I love to be around my mommy…all the time. Especially when she’s doing something like reading or painting. I will often help her turn pages, even when she doesn’t know she’s ready to read a new page. But, my favorite thing is to help her paint. For several months she was working on a picture she was going to give daddy for their anniversary. I really like paint…and paint brushes. I didn’t think it’d hurt if I took a little look at the picture and maybe touched the paint brush once while she was getting something to drink. I guess touching the brush added some paint to mommy’s picture – where it wasn’t suppose to go. Whoops! Who knew I was an artist? Fortunately mommy wasn’t mad…my artistic addition actually looks good in the picture. Just call me Picasso!
I forgot to put silverware in my husbands lunch… whoops! Guess he’ll just have to go to the mess hall to get some.
Whoops! I forgot to take the movie we rented back to the rental place!
Gracey, you are adorable, and my 4 cats are all fans of yours. 🙂
Hi Gracey! Oh we have all kinds of Whoops moments! I have 2 of your books, so i just came to say hello. I would like someone else to receive the book(s) because they are great!! Whoops, we knocked over mommies plant….again!
My biggiest WHOOPS and its a big NO NO for picky kittys like I have. I forgot to clean Miley the Meanies litter box one night,and low and behold,when my husband went to get ready for work the next morning,Miss Miley left her own BIG WHOOPS on the bathmat,and my husband had not noticed until he stpped out of the shower LOL.He said he bit more of a bigger work than Whoops lol. So,now I always make sure kittys box is very tidy before I head to bed. Miley left her WHOOPS on his foot heheheh. Love from Miss Miley the Meanie,Tuxedo Cat
from Pima, the third youngest cat ruling the roost:
on monday, i found it within myself to allow the head of my female staff go and visit 3 of her grandchildren for two days… it was big hearted of me, i know… but even the help needs some time to themselves!!!
she arrived home yesterday evening… we were all so pleased to have her back, as our fur-bunnies were roaming the house, and needed herding; and SOMEONE had dropped my favorite mouse into the water dish… i certainly wasn’t going to touch it! that’s HER job…
anyway – i was so happy to have my staff complete once again that i decided to help her unpack… i got into the open suitcase, and – WHOOPS!!! i was so excited that i managed to deposit a hairball on her folded clothes… you’d of thought she’d have appreciated how happy i was to have her home…
she didn’t see it that way… ‘sigh’… you can’t find good help these days…
When I was working at Hardee’s, a couple customers had their own “Whoops!’ moments. One came through the drive-thru near closing and asked if we had mashed potatoes. A different one came through one afternoon and didn’t realize he wasn’t at Burger King.
The whole time I was working there, I had all kinds of “Whoops!” moments. Forgetting to put new fries in the fryer. Almost forgetting a customer’s drink. Mishearing a customer and getting the order mixed up. (I think I should put a sign around my neck that says “hard of hearing”.)
I had just started working at McDonald’s and somebody ordered two burritos no cheese. I was in charge of the burritos, and so I had to make them special for the customer. I made the burritos, and I made sure they didn’t have cheese. I was so proud of myself for not putting cheese on the burritos. I went back to doing what I was doing when BAM! I realized that I had forgotted to warm the burriots up! WHOOPS! The customer never came back and complained, but I was worried about it all day long.
my mom always makes sure my kibble bowl is full before she leaves for work. Yesterday I am not sure what got into me but I ended up spilling most of the kibble on the floor and my mom had to pick it all up. WHOOPS! PS. My mom never gets mad she jsut thinks it silly that I like to eat my kibble off the floor instead of out of the bowl. : )
OK, so it really wasn’t an accident, but I always eat my treat first and try to take my older sister’s from hers. Normally she barks at me and I leave her alone. But yesterday she wasn’t having that and she did more than bark- she got in my face and tried to fight me! Whoops!
