Do You Remember Charlie and Tango??

J Lo 4

 Adopt J Lo

HIYA !!  SAVANNAH HERE!!!

I am curious as to how many of you will remember those names.  Leave your best guess as to who they are in my comments…and include a link to my blog post where you met them…AND…tell me WHY you remember them.

Oh…and I am doing the next couple of blog posts ALL ON MY OWN!  Yup, Mom L has again abandoned me gone to represent me at an event called Bark World/Cat Writers’ Association conference.  She better come home with some nifty treats and toys…just sayin’…moving on…

Ok, I know lots of you have already jumped to the end of this post to discover who Charlie and Tango are.  Let’s see if you remember this set of photos…

Flash forward!!!

First…those precious chicks dumped at the front door of a Petco store in Walnut Creek where Community Concern 4 Cats (CC4C) hosts their weekend “Adopt Cats” events.  A quick call to Dr Josie who has chickens and luvluvluvs them…and guess where those two chick are TODAY???

Yep, Dr Josie took them in…made sure they were healthy and they are now living in her chicken yard…clucking away and happy as any hen can be who lives in a vineyard!!!

Ok…now you are wondering…what about Tango and Charlie??  Did Tango’s fracture heal??

Flash forward to a couple of weeks ago…Mom L worked another CC4C spay and neuter clinic where Dr Josie donates her DVM skills to help spay and neuter kittens/cats who have been adopted through CC4C.

Imagine Mom L’s surprise when she pulled up the next kitties to be spayed and neutered…and there were TANGO AND CHARLIE!!!

Charlie IS a girl and was spayed…

And Tango waited for a while…hoping, I am sure, that they would forget he was just ‘hanging out’ in his cage….but he is also now neutered…

Yup, I am now a neutered mancat...and proud of it!

Yup, I am now a neutered mancat…and proud of it!

They were adopted together…have a wonderful life.  Tango’s broken femur healed naturally under Dr Josie’s watchful eye and care…

These kittens are no longer ANYONE’s garbage to be dumped in a dumpster…just as Leader Otis asked us to do…BE THE MIRACLE…CC4C, Dr Josie and now the kitten’s new guardians…are just that for Tango and Charlie.

peeEss…The Kid Sage is now drooling, yes…seriously…she IS DROOLING…hoping Mom L comes home with a photo of WAFFLES THE INTERNET MANCAT PIN UP MODEL….you see The Kid Sage desperately wants a pin up photo of Waffles to hang over her special bed…hope Waffles isn’t shy…otherwise The Kid Sage will be inconsolable…sigh   

Paw It Forward for Animal Rescue: You All Make A Difference

HIYA!!  SAVANNAH HERE!!!

Making a difference in the lives of those animals who do not have the voice we all have is not hard at all…at least not hard when I have incredible pals like all of you!

My Paw It Forward Commentathon and Blog Hop is now officially ended and I count this whole last week as a huge success for animals everywhere waiting for rescue and placement in homes.

Monday I announced the participants in the Paw It Forward Blog Hop Event.  It is with embarrassment I have learned I left a out some really great pals…*hangs head*.

The cats from The Cat On My Head joined my blog hop and I somehow missed them in my notes to Mom L OR perhaps Mom L could not read my paw writing…heh…heh

The good news is that this brings the comment count to a whopping $180.50 total donation!!

Without further words…the winner of the Paw It Forward Commentathon donation is…

Savannah back again…I am not clear that it gets much better than this…but for me…I am going to be doing a happy dance for a long time.

Mom L: “Noona Toona? (oh Cod, her newest smoochie name for me)

Savvy: “yes Mom L???”

Mom L: ” You have other news to share with your pals on Friday, be sure to invite them all over to hear what you have to tell them, Okay?”

Savvy: ” Ohhhhh…right Mom L…thanks for remembering me…I almost forgot…*paw whap to forehead*…some of you wanted to learn the identity of the talent behind my new digs.  And actually, it started about 2 and 1/2 years ago.  The saying goes “it takes a village” is true…especially a social media village, to do so many things.  I won an auction item in 2012…and so the story begins…come on over to my blog on Friday to learn about the talents involved in my social media redecorating project”
