Thursday Again! Yea! A New VBP Blog Hop!

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

I get really pretty excited when it’s time to start a NEW VBP Blog Hop Week.

I use VBP lots of times all week long. You will notice I use a “paw print” next to all my words I think of as VBP. I have placed the Paw Print on my side bar if you prefer to put that next to your VBP words instead of the initials “VBP”…just a thought…

Once again…purrlease grab the badge below and put it on your VBP post. Once you have PUBLISHED your post, come on back here and click on the blue linky face at the bottom of this post, and enter your PUBLISHED VBP post. That’s it…You will then be joined in our hop. You can also chose to do your VBP post over the next 6 days and STILL enter the hop!

And you know by now, today is also the Thankful Thursday Blog Hop…sponsored by Pepi Smart Dog.

This is the really marvelous thing about VBP…I can DO BOTH!!! My Thankful Thursday post also has my VBP words. Hmmmm…that’s something else to be Thankful for…I can do both…

Now…I am ALSO making this post my contribution to The Society of Feline Gardeners…started by Miss Jonesie, a ladycat of renowned gardening knowledge . Jonesie can be found at Cory Cat Blog most days if she is not out in her garden.

This garden report is why I am thankful on this Thursday. I still have flowers, and green things…and we have lots and lots of finches at our feeders because they like to live here in the Winter. I am so thankful we still feed the birds and have pretty flowers to share with you all.

My garden has been floundering these last few weeks…we finally have had rain, very cold and even freezing snaps. So my garden is more brown than green right now.

But, I sent Mom out with our camera to grab some photos of what IS blooming and looking pretty right now…we have a lot of blooming Camellia shrubs…at least that is what we think they are…this one is so pretty…that bright pink petal looks fake, huh?

…this is one of the more mature blooms of that same plant…

…we have bright sort of coral/pink…

…and then we have very, very soft pink…

…we think these are Azaleas….

…and this one is sort of purple…

…and then we have two mystery type plants…we know this one is some kind of bulb flower coming up, we are excited to see what it is…

…and this is some kind of like grass, or ground cover…it is uncovered now after the gardener cut back all the over growth…who knew there were all these other plants????

Next Thursday I will show some other stuff we discovered in this yard once so much of it died off from cold snap and then the gardeners started to finally cut it back…Mouses!! We never knew what all was out there!!

Until my next Thursday Gardening Report to Jonesie…

Sniff…Sniff…Mom and Dad…BUSTED!

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

What is a cat supposed to do? I ask you all…we allow our humans a modicum of free will to act…and off they go…cheating on us!!!

I find it purrfectly acceptable for Dad and Mom to volunteer at my former shelter. I am fine to have them touch those kitties who are waiting for their furrever homes.

BUT…I NEVER EVER said they could go…not once…but twice…(and now I learn this will continue for SIX MORE DAYS)…to the home of not one, not two, not three…BUT the home of SIX cats!!! AND there are FOURTEEN CHICKENS!!!(non cooked BTW!!)

They come home reeking of SIX CAT smells…they don’t even bother to cover it up. AND I saw Mom take some of my wand toys!!!…just because I don’t use them doesn’t matter…harrrruuummmpppfff!!!!!

Mom says these are “special cats”…like I care! And even the chickens are supposed to be some kind of “airborne” something or other….sure, sure…

So here are these other cats…seriously…and most of them look alike…none, except maybe Special Forces Ranger Toby, are nearly as attractive as ME!!!…

Oh, I didn’t tell you yet…these cats and chickens live on something called a “base or fort” and they call themselves The Kitty Platoon and the chickens are the “Airborne Squad”…what the heck is that all about?????

…this one is called Captain Fokker…(what ever….)

…then Second Lt JV…

…Private First Class Hummvee…

…here is Private Smokey…I think he is speculating starting up his own blog…yeah, yeah…

…I bet you are already confused, huh?…can hardly tell them apart…Mom says she can but I doubt that…now Special Forces and Ranger qualified Toby…him, I can call really ‘special’…

…and finally…there is Specialist Carl Bob aka “Crybaby”…he whines apparently

…and here is this “Airborne Squad”…aka “Raw Chickens”…

The truth is…Mom told me last night…she and Dad agreed to help a good friend by going by to check on her cats to make sure they got some play time. Someone else is feeding, scooping the potty pods (lordy there are a lot of those I bet)…and feeding the raw chickens.

…here’s some photos of the kitties getting major play time with Mom and Dad…(yes the cats can go outside, but their compound has electric at top of fence so kitties stay safely inside…)

…Carl Bob looks like he is dancing!

…he just can’t keep those paws on the ground…

…an indoor flying squirrel move…

…not to be outdone…Smokey goes for Da Bird…

…and gets Da Bird…

…Captain Fokker keeps his eyes focused…just like he learned in Ranger School…

…and JV…keeps everything in focus…including Mom’s handbag, iPhone and car keys…

Monday Meowsie News…

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

Gosh, where do I begin…I have been doing some kind of risky stuff lately…I know, I know…it amazes me too that I am still finding lots of new things to do…

First, I don’t go into Dad’s office, upstairs, when he is in it…I have my second potty pod in there and he has a window seat where he puts my night time snack…I do use my potty pod and get my snack when he isn’t in there.

But, one day Dad and Mom were having a “Dad and Mom Meeting” in his office…I walked in, threw myself down, facing DAD…and hung out with them for about 15 minutes… I thought I should snoopervise the meeting after all…and once it was over…I just casually walked out…

…snoopervising and catfacilitation…very hard work…

…then one night, I was having the best ever nap on the couch with Mom…Dad always turns on the gas fireplace for me…

…and I heard something unbelievable on the TV…so I sat right up and watched TV with them for about 20 minutes…

I can’t recall what channel was on, but it was really, really riveting…

Finally, the bestest news of all…look what Dad captured on camera…yup…this is me…letting Mom give me soft tummy pets, over and over and over again…Dad took like about a dozen photos…

…you can see…I was really getting into it…

…then I got a teeny bit scared…so I gave Mom “The Look”…

…smart Mom…she just kept it up…and I relaxed into it again…this was a really, really big deal…

Sorry the photos are blurry, all Dad had was his iPhone…but at least we have proof…I do like a soft tummy pet…at least from Mom…(sorry Dad…maybe later on, ‘Kay?)
