Thoughtful Furriends…

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

What a great community we have in the paw blog, Anipal Twitter and FB world! I am so happy to be a member of all and to have found such cool, talented pawtners!

Well, a couple of my furriends have gone and done it again…given me another shot of humility by passing awards to me…and both awards have been passed to me once before…BUT this time I want to take opportunity to ask some questions to help me think about my blog for 2013…so I can feel like I maybe deserve these pawsome awards…

First, my BFGF Cathy Keisha, Stunning Keisha, has passed the NEXT BIG THING award to me

…and she had such nice compliments to say…

” Savvy’s time is now cos she’s loved by everyone in the CB and beyond. She just celebrated her 1st Gotcha Day and has posted about her recovery as an adult rescue cat“…

How kind is that? CK like totally, totally ‘gets’ what I am trying to do with my paw tracks…leave a path for others to use to help them get to their own “recovery” to show as much as they can of their REAL SELF to their furrever families.

My question about having received this award: (anyone can leave a response in comments)

“For the year of 2013…describe what you hope to experience from visiting my blog that will have you reluctant to leave, hoping for more, and thinking ‘I (meaning you) can write about that too because it is impawtant’…”…and it is the NEXT BIG THING thing we all can post…

Next, a very new furriend, Angel Whisperer, from South Africa I think, pass the VERY INSPIRING BLOGGER award to me…

…Angel, at least I think that is her/his name…this is really embarrassing ‘cuz I couldn’t find anything about who she/he is on his/her bloggy…HELP??…

Anyways, here is the TOTALLY UNIQUE graphic Angel used to post who she/he passed the award to…

I read her/his post…and Oh My Cat!! There was my name!!!….and anypawdy can use this graphic application…

My question about having received this award: (anyone can leave a response in comments)

“For the year of 2013…describe what you hope to experience from visiting my blog that will leave you INSPIRED to do even more to help adult rescue dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, donkeys, horses, piggies, etc….find their furrever homes?

That’s it for me for now…hope you leave me lots of thoughts about how I can do more, better, etc in 2013 to truly live up to all your awards you have so graciously(VBP) bestowed upon me…

Paw pats, Savannah

Monday Meowsie News…The Grand Total

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

OH CAT!!! Do I have some great stuff to share with you all today!! So, you remember my First Gotcha Day Pawty was last week, January 3…if you didn’t make it…you can take a look here…but sorry, everything is cleaned up so you have to wait until my First Blogiversary April 1 for more noms…

Anyway, I asked Mom and Dad to make it a Commentathon…and Mom said OK…I’ll chip in 5o cents USD for each comment; then Dad upped her play and said I’ll add another 25 cents…so now I was going to be able to donate 75 cents for EVERY comment to my former rescue group, Contra Costa Humane Society, for their vet care budget (we need lots because we pull adult dogs and cats from the kill shelter and sometimes they need medical help)…

Drum roll purrlease….

BABABOOM…BOOM…BADABOOM…TAPPITY…TAP…TAP…

TOTAL COMMENTS: 75…SEVENTY FIVE!!!

SUB-GRAND TOTAL DONATION AMOUNT: $56.25 USD

BUT WAIT!!! THERE’S MORE!!…

Another blogger raised Mom and Dad by 25 cents…

…making every comment worth ONE WHOLE DOLLAR!!!

(Now you ask “who is the other blogger??…all I know is you have to visit the Katnip Lounge Mob for details…they know more than I do about what happened…just saying…)

GRAND TOTAL: $75

WAIT!!! THERE’S MORE…

I also received a really, really special Gotcha Day card, actually, TWO cards, from my very good furriend, DINAH!! She is a member of RWB (Readers Without Blogs)…I did a post about her, you can see it HERE.

Here are the TWO cards Dinah gave me and the $5 bucks I found inside…first, check out her message to ME!…

…here are the cards and the actual $5 she put inside!…nice cards, huh?!…

Because of Dinah (well, Ok, and her housekeeper) the…

GRAND TOTAL is a whopping $80 USD!!

WAIT!!…WAIT AGAIN!!…EVEN MORE!!!!! (exciting, huh?)

My Champion Jetty, and his Mom Miss Lori and his k9 sister JJ, from Hey, It’s Jet Here…told me they made a donation to Contra Costa Humane Society…in honor of my First Gotcha Day…for $25 USD!!!!!

JETTY, JJ AND MISS LORI PUSHED THE FINAL GRAND TOTAL TO…

GRAND GRAND TOTAL RAISED: $105 USD!!!

APAWS!!! APAWS!!!

Thank you all for pawticipating, we could not have done this without your comments. Remember, you must go ask the KL Mob about that last 25 cent ante that pushed us to ONE WHOLE DOLLARE per comment…they have the scoop on that one…you really need to go find out…just a suggestion…

Now, I really want to share some other cards and e-cards that came in after I did my post…

Cathy Keisha, The Stunning Keisha, who is my BFGF, sent me a card…isn’t it like way cool!!???…

And the following wonderful furriends sent me e-cards…I have included the link if you want to go see them…but because I waited too long to post the link, the card may be gone…so sorry…but here are the furriends who sent them…
