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.

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

  • 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.

That’s it!!
