Sunday Selebration…SEE UPDATE AT BOTTOM

Hiya! Savannah Here!

First, let me assure (vocab building project VBP) you all that I am making this an EASY SUNDAY!

Dad caught me taking a little nap in my fave tunnel…I had just come back from hanging out with Spitty across the Bay, and we played like crazy with his Neko toy and his Peacock feather…first I waved it for him then he did it for me…what a blast!!!…I couldn’t even crawl all the way out of my tunnel, I just collapsed!

Now, for my SELEBRATION NEWS!

AWARDS!!

Zena, The Princess Tails gave me this really cool Blog of The Year: 2012 award. I got it while Mom was away in Mexico, so I am sorry Princess Zena that I am just getting it announced. Your thoughtfulness and generosity again humbles me. Thank you my good furriend!

The ‘rules’ for this award are simple:

1 Select the blog(s) you think deserve the ‘Blog of the Year 2012’ Award

2 Write a blog post and tell us about the blog(s) you have chosen – there’s no minimum or maximum number of blogs required – and ‘present’ them with their award.

3 Please include a link back to this page ‘Blog of the Year 2012’ Award – http://thethoughtpalette.co.uk/our-awards/blog-of-the-year-2012-award/ and include these ‘rules’ in your post (please don’t alter the rules or the badges!)

4 Let the blog(s) you have chosen know that you have given them this award and share the ‘rules’ with them

5 You can now also join our Facebook group – click ‘like’ on this page ‘Blog of the Year 2012’ Award Facebook group and then you can share your blog with an even wider audience

6 As a winner of the award – please add a link back to the blog that presented you with the award – and then proudly display the award on your blog and sidebar … and start collecting stars…

Unlike other awards which you can only add to your blog once – this award is different!

When you begin you will receive the ‘1 star’ award – and every time you are given the award by another blog – you can add another star!

There are a total of 6 stars to collect.

Which means that you can check out your favorite blogs – and even if they have already been given the award by someone else – you can still bestow it on them again and help them to reach the maximum 6 stars!

For more information check the FAQ on The Thought Palette.

Like I know this award is already running amuck around paw blogs…so I can’t keep track of who has it and who doesn’t…So I am going to pass it first right back to Princess Zena!

My list in nor order:

Princess Zena, The Princess Tails…she deserves all 6 stars! Having to train the newbie and all…thank you so much PZ!!

Now, I want to pass this award to those who followed my blog from its birth in February 2012 to its growth in March 2012…I have listed them the order in which they started to follow me…my only followers for those first weeks…

Animal Couriers…Miss Ann keeps that blog so relevant, and she visits, and visits and comments…what a trooper and she hung in with my fledgling blog from the very beginning…luvluvluv you Miss Ann! I know you don’t post awards, but I want to pass this to you and all your dedicated animal transport folks.
Rumpy Dog…he followed the next day behind Animal Couriers and he has never left my side…thank you Rumpers and I know you don’t post awards either, but you have always been there for me and inspire me to write more and more for animal rescue and issues that affect us.
Sage Chronicles, The (mis)Adventures of Sage…I did not realize, so shame on me, that Sage has followed me from the beginning. I did not really know how to follow others then…but am so happy to find Sage in my email in box now…his blog is tops!
Bowie…much to my chagrin looking back, there was Bowie, right from the start…and I have only just figured how to follow him. Thank you for your patience Bowie.
Sammy, One Spoiled Cat…no matter how many times I fail to visit Sammy, he never fails to visit me…Sammy your loyalty is precious to me.
Kitty Bloger…lots of fun and funny photos of kittehs…I know this blogger does not blog everyday, but want to recognize them for their support.
Miss Jamie Dedes, The Writer By Day and other blogs. I think she had one about cats, but then ended that one, but she does drop by to visit me on occasion and I appreciate her loyalty.

All these blogs are 6 star blogs in my heart, so I hope each one now knows I “see” them and their willingness to read a fledgling blogger and give that blogger time to develop…thank you all.

I also was given a lovely award by a new furriend, Speedy, The Cheeky House Bunny gave me this truly pawsome award called The Family of Bloggers.

Apparently, there are no rules for this award and I can pass it along to as many or as few as I want. So of course, I am passing it to EFURRYONE!!! Purrlease take this pretty badge and post it on your bloggy from me, Savannah.

So, that’s it for my on Sunday Selebration…paw pats, Savannah

Caturday Sharing…

Hiya! Savannah Here!

I want to share some photos of birds and a moth that Dad and Mom saw on their vacation to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

They also saw beautiful Golden Orioles but could not get photos.

Please click on them to bigify…the moth is incredible (vocab building project VBP)…Mom and Dad thought they were bats the first night…then Dad took a photo and they could see…they are humongous moths!!

: Mr Ladderback Woodpecker

: Another Look

: He Flew Away

: Busbirds Busy at Work

: Good Benefits

: Union Meeting After Work

: A Bat?

: Nope! Very Large Moth 5 Inch Wing Spread

: A Frigate Bird

I have some amazing photos of the ocean to show tomorrow.

And I wish I could add a couple of photos of me, but WP just dumps it into the Gallery…oh phooey, here I am just a minute ago helping Mom sort out the Christmas linens…well…ummmmm…actually, I just waited ’til she was done then I used the bins to hope to the window ledge…

Never, ever been here before…but it’s kind’a nice! Then I headed over to my special chair and blue fleece blankie Mom bought JUST FOR ME so I can be in our office when she is…nice, huh?

Yup, we added my photos in a separate gallery and WP said NO, NO, NO!!! Oh well, have a pawsome Caturday!

Paw pats, Savannah

Friday Is For Furriends

Hiya! Savannah Here!

Yeowzer! What a whirlwind last couple of weeks…first Mom and I had to like plan and write and schedule almost 900 posts (maybe it was only 9??) so I could have my furriends see that I am still blogging.

Then, Mom and Dad took off for the kabillion year vacation (maybe it was only like 7 days??)…

And THEN…2 days after they get back…here in the USA it was our special THANKSGIVING Celebration and Holiday…and Dad and Mom had invited guests before they left for the kabillion year vacation…only to get home and slam their hands on their foreheads shouting at each other “WHAT THE H___ WERE WE THINKING TO HAVE GUESTS 2 DAYS AFTER WE GET BACK FROM MEXICO!!! OMC!!

…well, they fussed a bit on Tuesday, then took their strategy straight to the resolution source…a market called WHOLE FOODS…where they dashed around at 7:45 AM buying everything ready cooked that day, except for the fresh salmon which Mom actually baked with her own two hands…whew!(2 guests are vegetarians) Disaster averted (vocab building project VBP)…

…and that pile of ~~boxes and plastic containers~~ dishes from Mom’s cooking were all cleaned up by my DAD! Mom went to bed, and Dad and I hung out in the kitchen and he washed all that pretty china and crystal, by hand, and dried it…no breakage…thank Ceiling Cat!!

That is all an introduction to this pitiful message from my Mom…take it away Mom…

…ahem…shuffles feet…puts sweaty fingers to keyboard…ahhh…Hey everyone!…thanks for all who drop by today…I have a request…

…cough, cough…little frog in my fingers…there, dipped them in water…all better now. So, where was I???

Oh, right…why I am writing and not Savannah…

Here’s the situation…and all my problem, NOT Savannah’s…you see, with the move to a new home, trying to get settled into a rental after 30 years of owning our homes, then making sure Savvy was settled too, then all of a sudden there was this timeshare I booked LAST YEAR…and we really needed that time doing nothing, then we got back and wham! Turkey day…

Well, sort of lame excuses…but I have been the reason Savvy is so behind in visiting everyone, leaving comments for her furriends, and she has lots of new ones picked out that we haven’t even hardly visited at all. So I had to do the unmentionable (VBP)…yes, I deleted all her email “follow” messages through Wednesday of this week.

Whew…there…I said it…admitted it…I hope you will not hold it against her personally…she can’t really type with her paws and all…so she depends on me.

She also is so disappointed that we have not been on Twitter for a couple of months, and no Twitter Pawties at all for 3 months. So, lots for me to help her get sorted out. Ok…my part is done…

…”Savannah?”

…meowing from upstairs…”yeah Mom??”..

…ummm, I’m done NanaBanana…you want to come down now and finish your Friday post?”

…thump, thump…pad, pad….pant, pant…”I ran down as fast as I could…Ok…I’m ready Mom”

Hiya Again!! Savannah Here! (finally)

I GOT A PREZZIE!!!!…FROM SOME OF MY VERY FIRST FURRIENDS…

MY THREE MOGGIES

ARCHIE (he is so cute with that sweet black tail and white furs), OSCAR AND HENRY

It is a “welcome to your new home prezzie”! Isn’t that so generous and thoughtful of them??

Anyways, it arrived while Mom and Dad were in Mexico, so Auntie Shannon didn’t let me have it.

But I got it on Tuesday…here’s the package, and contents…I got two black and gray with silver accent poofy feathery balls AND a wand toy with feathers and a heart (must have been from Archie I am sure)…(click on it to bigify)

The Package and Contents

…please notice the colors…I just know the Moggies’ Mum, Miss Michelle, had something to do with picking out the colors that coordinate so nicely with my furrs….purrrs Miss Michelle…

…here’s the package and card, see how it is addressed just to ME?…

…I tried out the wand toy first…cuz then Mom had to be with me…

…then I decided to have a bit closer look…

…hmmm…maybe it’s worthy of a little sniff…

…then I followed it all around the room! Thank You All So Much, My Three Moggies, Archie, Henry and Oscar and of course, Miss Michelle!!

Now if you have not hopped over to their new pawsome site…click here and get over there and let them feel the love!! They have been missing all their furriends who have not found them again…

Last, they have a wonderful new feature where they pick two furriends each month from photos and comments about why you should be picked…and the first month, November Furriends, they picked ME and MOLLIE! Click here to check out this new series and start pawticipating for December when they post the next contest.

Thank you all for coming by, for listening to Mom’s excuses, and especially for reading about my Pawsome Furriends, My Three Moggies!!

Paw pats, Savannah
