Conversations with Critters
Walk with the animals. Talk with the animals. And preliminary results of the incredible Merch Survey! Hooray! Hooray!
Today Critters, we are pleased as punch to present the preliminary results of our incredible Merch Survey which we featured in our previous Furever Friday Post just last week! After an outpouring of responses, we have a top category winner, so let’s read all about it! Cuz. A toast is in order!
Please, welcome welcome our Core Community Critters Jasper Kitten, Chris and Jojo in excellent mugshot critter conversation! Take it away!
Heidi: Hello and welcome to our latest and most up to date Furever Friday Post! Thank you to all of you for taking our Merch Survey last week as we have a clear top category winner!
Jasper: Greetings, Friends! With a tap of a toebean we present to you the top response from our Merch Survey!
Chris: Thank you, Dear Gentle Critters. First, the top response is not, in fact, the Couch. I simply want you to be prepared for this. The end.
Jojo: Hello hello, I luvluvuv you, Dear Gentle Readers. Furever. And it is my honor to announce the Top Response to the Merch Survey! It. Is. Mugs!
Jasper: Thank you, Jojo.
Jojo: You’re welcome!
Chris: Thank you, Jojo.
Jojo: You’re welcome! The end.
Jasper: The Mug has taken the top category and is several percentage points ahead of the next most popular response which is, Bookmarks!
Chris: Furthermore and 100%, it’s a resounding YES for donating part of the proceeds from CwC Merch to a charitable animal rescue organization.
Jojo: We are deeply grateful for this charitable spirit expressed by each and every one of you. Furever again. The end.
Jasper: We are keeping the Merch Survey open open open for another week, so if you would still like to make your voice heard, we’re all ears.
Chris: Although I must profess my disappointment that the Number One Response was not, in fact, the Couch in terms of CwC Merch most desired, all Critters are welcome to virtually join me for a nap. Full stop.
Jasper: That is a true conversation opener, Chris.
Jojo: Well said, Chris.
Chris: Thank you very much. It is as much a beginning as an ending. The end.
Jasper: And we are also being given a glimpse into your practical nature, Chris.
Chris: Yes, it’s very complex to ship a Couch. A mug is much more doable. The end again.
Jasper: Chris, while you are sleeping off your disappointment, Jojo has been doing his research and has found an online shopping site that will allow us to set up our CwC Merch store.
Jojo: That’s right, Chris and Jasper. My alma mater, Muttville Senior Dog Rescue, uses this site to host their own Merch Store, so we’re going to get CwC set up with it as well and you’ll be the first to know when we’re good to go. With. The. Goods.
Jasper: So, Critters, please stay tuned and we’ll let you now as soon as we are able that it’s time to shop. Full stop.
Chris: Meanwhile, back at the Couch, let’s share a photo of a Bookmark which we do have in the works for the edification and enjoyment of our Readers:

Jojo: Critters, I must add that the Merch site I am investigating offers much more than Mugs. However, with all humility, it does not have Bookmarks, so we will need a second vendor and I’m working on it. Full stop again.
Jasper: Therefore and furthermore, we plan on an entire line of offerings with Mugs being first and foremost, an entire line of apparel, including T shirts and baseball hats and bandanas, and several items left to the imagination as of this writing. The end.
Chris: We like our Friends to have choices, so this statement is completely open ended. The end. Furthermore, will there be food bowls? I especially like free choice kibble.
Jasper: Correct, Chris.
Jojo: Shopping is an act of free choice and free kibble, Chris.
Jasper: Well said, Jojo.
Chris: Ditto. Ditto.
Jojo: Thank you, Chris and Jasper. Thank you very much.
Jasper: You’re welcome.
Chris: You’re welcome.
Jasper: Critters, thank you for being here with us today as we share the preliminary results of our Merch Survey. Most of all, we thank you for reading.
Chris: Cuz. Your reading is the highest of compliments for the writing. We thank you for your attention and thoughtfulness.
Jojo: And we luvluvluv you. So, please stay safe and have fun out there. We’ll see you again for Detective Tuesday and Chapter 17 of The Case of the Jumping Gene!
Jasper: The.
Chris: End.
