Food Hog…Busted Again!!

HIYA!!  SAVANNAH HERE!!!

I must say, it is actually very amusing watching The Kid Sage get busted every now and then.  It usually is over her constant search for food…soft food, treats, human chicken dinners…you name it…she believes her name is written all over each and every morsel.

I can tell, she's behind me trying to excavate under the pillow

Now I don’t care for human food and I am happy to wait for my brekkies and dinner…but *looks over shoulder then whispers*…I can’t say I mind so much when The Kid Sage wrestles our morning treat bags out from under the pillow where Mom L ‘thinks’ she is hiding them.

The Kid Sage (aka TKS)…tries to be discreet…”surely, no one will see me doing this…”

TKS: “Yes, I have my paws on the gold now…”

What do you mean??? PAWS UP???!!! I'm innocent, I swear!!

What do you mean??? PAWS UP???!!! I’m innocent, I swear!!

TKS: “Whew!  almost caught in the act…but I am not called Sneaky Sage for nothing…”

scruffle, pull...

scruffle, pull…

…TKS: “…there must be more…”

got it!

got it!

TKS: “…I wonder if there is even MORE???”

Oh, hiya Mom L, this was just lying here, really...honest...

Oh, hiya Mom L, this was just lying here, really…honest…

TKS: ” I just know Mom L keeps like a TON of our fave treats under that pillow…”

Mom L saw me again, right?..MOUSES!!!

Mom L saw me again, right?..MOUSES!!!

And here is the treasure trove TKS searches for…every single morning…to the delight of us all.

NOMMIES!!!

NOMMIES!!!

TKS: “Ok, I totally confess…I have a small addiction to high calorie, yummy tasting GREENIES!!  I have been TOTALLY busted…there is even an iPad video…sigh”

With TKS at work, we usually get our treats earlier than planned…heh…heh

And so I am coming to maybe, just a teeny bit…to appreciate that TKS has improved the quality of my morning snuggles in bed with Mom L…*shhhh…don’t let TKS know!!!*

Paw It Forward Commentathon and Blog Hop

 HIYA!!  SAVANNAH HERE!!

pizap Ms Savvy Do

I hope you have noticed I have been doing some redecorating around my blog and my other social media presences.  And I am showing off my new digs with a Paw It Forward Commentathon and Blog Hop!

Why the need to redecorate you ask???

I want to re-commit to serving as a voice for cats, dogs and other animals who do not have a voice as loud, nor a meow as strong, as all of you have graciously enabled me to possess.

The former subtitle to my blog “Autobiography of a Former Shelter Cat” was too limiting, given all the things I have been doing for the last year or so.  When Mom L  suggested to me that my subtitle might limit how prospective followers see my blog…I did one of those *paw slap to forehead* moves…Whap!!  “I may be misleading!!!”  To help keep me focused, I have changed my subtitle to reflect what I want all readers to understand my purpose…”Making a Difference”.

Savannah’s Paw Tracks will focus on three areas…

  • Paw It Forward: Featuring projects dedicated to giving a voice to animals waiting for permanent homes and helping improve the lives of those animals who so desperately need us.

SavvySidebarPawForward

  • Real Rescue Stories: Because everyone needs to share in the joy of Happy Tails endings.

SavvySidebarRescue

  • Savannah’s Progress: Chronicling my personal journey from an adult cat tossed away like someone’s trash to becoming a much loved feline family member. …including lessons in patience with The Kid Sage.

Humor and laughter inspire me to meow even louder for those who don’t have a voice. That’s especially true when it comes to social media. I’ll be first in line, helping to spread your message far and wide, when any of you have contests, events, parties and celebrations.

Here is a tour of my new blog design elements…

On the right side bar you will see THREE Badges.  Click on a badge and view a series of links to many of the posts I have written about whatever topic is noted on the badge.  Go on… click and check them out!

Across the top pull down menus you will find changes as well.

About: Updated to align with my mission and focus: A Former Shelter Cat Making a Difference
Bling: The awards I receive from furriends
Events & Adventures: under ‘Events’ find a slideshow of many of the contests and special events in which I participate; under ‘Adventures’ find links to International Cross Over Blog Adventures in which I have been included.
Go Shopping: A showcase for any of you who have Etsy shops or other businesses you want furriends to know about (send me links to include if you want)
OTRB: contains badges for furriends who have gone on to The Bridge and also includes the fur family members before me
Useful Information: animal rescue/welfare related information I think you will find meaningful

That’s it!!
