A purrPrise: My Champion

Finally…runs in office..slams door…whew! Jumps on chair…hits “PUBLISH” with left paw (I’m a lefty in case ya hadn’t noticed!)

Now it’s all together…the whole story can come out. Mom and I have done a ton of storyboarding on this one…’cuz it kind’a goes back a ways….

…I know this is kind’a long…but it’s gonna be good…trust me…

The question efuury lady cat must ask herself…if and when do I need a CHAMPION to guard my honor?…and ‘cuz of my background, I never thought I would need to ponder(vocab builder) this question.

But, life changes…..

…I used to stare in my Mirror and ask…”what is wrong with me? I think I look OK…I am nice…I keep myself nicely groomed…why doesn’t any huFamily want me…”…

…I would lie in my hidey hole (no one at the shelter ever suspected I had it all tricked out)…and while brushing my fur…wonder…”maybe I don’t have HONOR and that is why no one wants me???…”

…and then this man came along in the shelter, and reached in and petted me, and then his wife did this special rubbing on my ears and head…and, well…you all know the ending…

I WAS TAKEN TO MY FURREVER HOME…and I had HONOR!!!

Then I started to blog my autobiography. Mom helps…and she is the one who put my HONOR at risk…

Remember that June 19 post…My Name Is Not Marilyn???…all those ‘cheesecake shots’ Mom posted!!??

…like this one…????

Well! That is what started me to fret (vocab builder) about my HONOR…’cuz of those cheesecake shots Mom posted…I got lots of comments that made me fear my HONOR needed protection…

Chancy, from Chancy The Gardner, warned me…”Oh, my! Sweet Savannah you better lock down the place…there’s going to be mancats scratching at your door….”

The boys over at Katnip Lounge commented: “Boom Chicka Wow Wow:…Mommy! Fainty Mancats clean up in Aisle Three!”

Rumpy Dog had to control June Buggie: “Oh my DOG! *covers screen so June Buggie don’t drool on it*…”

Alfie, over at Mollie and Alfie …commented: “You is smokin HOT girl, has your Mum got a pole?? Yep as they say, if you’s got flaunt it, and you certainly have!…Can’t wait to see some more, I wonder if Mum’s got some Ice cubes as well.”

Kozmo, at Cat from hell said: …”Oh! My! Cod!…Nellie hid your post from me yesterday! Savannah-You are one hot Mama! I could go for a girl like you if I did not have my Calico Rose….Kisses…Kozmo”…

After all those comments…one final comment came in which gave me hope…and an IDEA!!

Finally, my doggie pal, my Mr. Big Guy Jetty from Hi, It’s Jet Here, said:

“Listen with the boys getting a look see at those pics, you’re gonna need protection… and I VOLUNTEER!”

I immediately replied:…”Oh Jetty…you are so big and strong…I would totally feel protected if you were my CHAMPION!!! ….digging in box, throwing stuff out…searching…searching…can’t find it…but I will give you my handkerchief and you can be my official CHAMPION!!”

My Big Guy responded right back, fast as lightening…”Hey, Jetty here. I would consider it a great honor to receive your hankie and take on the role of your CHAMPION…”

I sent back my reply as fast as my paws could type…”ok, let me find that hankie and I will ‘award’ it to ya…”

MY CHAMPION IS MY DOGGIE PAL MR. BIG GUY JETTY!! TAAAAAADAAAAAA!!

Jetty, I promosed you my hanky, and here it is…and I know you will wear it with pride when you are needed…

And Jetty, I had this special badge made for you and I to post on our bloggys so efurryone knows you are my OFFICIAL CHAMPION!!!

That’s my big PurrPrise for efurryone!!! And MY CHAMPION JETTY is just seeing our badge for the very first time today!!! PURRPRISE JETTY, MY BIG GUY!!

I want to give a warm shout out to Miss Ann, from Zoolatry, and thank her for her fabulous art work. HUGE PAW PATS, Savannah

Tuesday Meowsie News…

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!

First, we are again apologetic to have been so poor at communicating My little Give Away. I just had Mom UPDATE again to make sure readers know it can be ANY TYPE ANIMAL rescue, dogs, cats, piggies, from anywhere geographically. We really, really hope we get lots more comments. I will post the comments over the next few weeks because the stories are totally fantasmic!! So encouraging what animals and people can accomplish when we work together.

I like to use Monday as a day to recap my recovery progress, or set backs, from the previous week. But, today is Tuesday, but really Monday in disguise!

Sometimes I have already posted about them…sometimes not. But Monday we gave to our OTRB furriend Grouik.

Mostly, I have posted about my progress this past week:

Playing on the Bird Watching Tower and getting to the third level! YEA!!
Running in front of Dad all the way down the hall, looking over my shoulder, meowing very loudly to encourage him to hurry…every step he takes!! MOL
Learning to play the CHASE GAME with Mom ALL OVER out house!! WOO HOO!!
Learning it is safe to play outside our bedroom, like in the living room and stuff

…I am so comfortable in the THIRD LEVEL of my Bird Watching Tower, I even take naps in there now….

…and I still luvluvluv playing “I’m Gonna Get It” under the base of my favorite scratching post…this is the post that makes up one side of my SAFE PLACE in our bedroom…remember the chair is the other side of my SAFE PLACE…

…last night, I got really excited when IT ran far to the back under the base…hmmmm…maybe I was a little too exuberant? (vocab builder)….

…then I totally lost my reserve…IT ran way over to the other side just out of my reach…uuummmppphhhhffff…

…long story short…turned into a game of I WAS GONNA GET IT!!…MOL…

Something else I haven’t shared before is my neighborhood. Last night our heat broke in the early evening…our fog was back…WHOOPPEE…Mom and Dad were coming back home from dinner out and they grabbed a couple of shots of a nice night sky…

Finally, I have to admit to being stuck in my recovery process on a few things…

I still won’t get on the couch with Mom at night to watch TV…I used to do that months ago…then stopped for reasons we can’t figure out…and all I do now is my nightly “drive by walk” through the family room, looking over at Mom and Dad…with meaningful stares to encourage them to come to the safe bedroom with me…I do that twice…then give up and wait for them…sigh..
I luv sleeping in my office bed…but as soon as I wake up and find Mom in the office working…down I go…I leave and don’t come back…I used to spend hours with her working and me sharing time with her (I was napping of course…)
I hide whenever anyone else comes in the house except Auntie Shannon (of course I go under the bed when she brings out the HOOVER)
I don’t play very much with Dad…he still makes me a little nervous…except at meal time!!! MOL

That’s my late “Monday Meowsie News” delivered on Tuesday!!
