Back in April, Melissa and Truffles from Mochas, Mysteries and Meows had a give-away for a Tickle Pickle, a catnip toy from those furry-loving friends at Tipsy Nip. And though we didn’t know what a Tickle Pickle was, we were intrigued.

Because Olivia was our office buddy the day we entered the give-away, we promised she would get the Tickle Pickle if we won. And we did, and so, she got it!

It arrived very promptly (unlike our review *sigh*). Miss Newton offered to help Olivia open the envelope.

I got this! Olivia insisted with a gentle, yet firm tap to Miss Newton’s nose.

Now, be nice, Olivia. You might decide it’s more fun to share than to hog it all to yourself.

Okay, mom.

Olivia really liked the envelope. Whatever this Tickle Pickle was, it sure made the envelope smell good!

… so good, even after it was open and the Tickle Pickle out for all to see, Olivia insisted on sniffing every corner of the envelope.

… Olivia rubbed herself all over the Tickle Pickle and proclaimed it hers alone! But of course, Olivia has to sleep sometime and everyone else in the house has spent time with it, some much more time than others. Look for more Tickle Pickle photos to come in the future.

The Tickle Pickle is a hit and we can’t recommend this nip toy strongly enough. Thank you very much, Melissa and Truffles for your Tickle Pickle give-away and thanks to the Tipsy Nip people for a wonderful toy everyone loves!
