…I did receive a pawtastic award July 8th…yup…my staff is a slackard…she kept putting it off…so finally I can accept and give thanks for the kindness of another paw blogger for acknowledging me with an award…woo hoo!!

So what a surprise to receive this very new, and special award…from All Fur One and One Fur All…and my furriend Pickles chose me and others and for this and I humbly accept and thank her…

The Helping Paw Award

Helping Animal Award

So, whose paws do you think those belong to??  Heh…heh…I did not guess…but they are a very favorite wild animal from down under…A Kangaroo…doesn’t get more special than that!!

So Pickles says this about the Award she created…

HI Ev-furry body..itz me Pickles..in case you don’ know I am a rescue cat.

Mum rescued me when I waz in a deadly situation..in fact I was in a PICKLE..which iz how I gotz my name!

I was very close to being at the rainbow bridge and waz saved just in time..

My story iz on http://dinz1234.wordpress.com or Fozzie blog..

I haz seen and heardz some amazing stories of helpin on the bloggiez that humanz haz .

Storiez of helpingz animalz and helpingz humanz wiff their animalz and it touchez me

**wipez a leaky eye…so I asked mumz if I could makez my own specialz but very simplez awardz for sharing…

Now to paw it forward as Foster Brofur Leo would say…

FB Leo and I consulted…as you can imagine…it was not simple to paw this award forward to only  a few…so many of you in Blogville, Anipal Twitter and Face Book have stepped forward to help Leo find his furrever castle, to assist with Saving The Royals, to work hard to find Mary (aka MJ) a furrever castle of her very own (only to be diverted by her recent diagnosis of diabetes)…and so many other projects I have asked you to help me with…

So, we choose to paw forward this award to all involved in the SAVE LEO CAMPAIGN…

…and also to efurryone who has worked so furry hard to help sweet Mary find her own true furrever castle

PURRlease…accept this pawsome award…show it as a badge on you bloggy proudly…I will be lookin’ around to learn if you are all able to give yourselves a pat on the tail to acknowledge how much you do to help rescue adult cats and dogs…

You are one PAWSOME rescue community…proud to be a bitty part of all this

And again…thank you, thank you to Dinndermintz and furramily for pawing this award to me and Foster Brofur Leo.

peeEss...we do hope to have more updates on MJ…aka Mary…early next week.  But now a teeny story to make you laugh with Mary…why do you suppose the vets started to call her MJ instead of Mary???  Go on…guess???!!

Well…REALLY…she is young, playful and rambunctious…and Mary loved to get up high on top of anything and into everything…remember she was only about 4 months old when found in April…so staff at the vet found themselves always hollering “MARY!!!…jesus!!”…over and over…and so they just shortened it to “MJ!!!!”…now that has to put a smile on your face!

Friday Frolics Leo Style…MJ News

HIYA!!   SAVANNAH HERE!!!

First let me share the most recent news about sweet MJ (aka Mary)…that precious black panfur kitty we have all been trying to help find a home.

Food? For Me?

Food? For Me?

MJ was just diagnosed with feline diabetes…sadly her potential adopter, who was so looking forward to having her, has had to withdraw as they do not have the funds to support her ongoing life long medical care; nor the living environment that will allow for the structure she will need for her feeding…it must be on a schedule coordinated with the administration of her insulin…at least that is what Mom Linda and I learned doing some fast research this morning.

Here are a couple of the sites we read:

http://www.aspca.org/pet-care/cat-care/diabetes

http://www.felinediabetes.com/newdiag.htm

MJ is now living at a Blue Cross Rescue facility in England.  They are searching desperately to find her a foster home right now as diabetic kitties do not do well living in a rescue facility…due to their feeding needs, etc.

Basil has also posted an extensive update on MJ.  Please know that neither Basil nor I nor FB Leo are giving up on MJ…no sireee….we still believe there is someone in England who is able and willing to give MJ the loving forever home she deserves.  We all shudder to think what will happen to this now special needs kitty if that person doesn’t turn up…(shakes head, no, no…not gonna think about that right now…)

ABOUT THE GIFT VOUCHER FOR MJ

Now I am asking all of you to help us decide what to do with the 50GBP gift funds many of you helped us collect.  We still want this to go to MJ…here are two options…PLEASE TELL ME AND FB LEO IN COMMENTS…which of these two options you prefer…just say Number One or Number Two…

Number One: we can gift the 50GBP to the Blue Cross Rescue with it marked as specifically going toward helping care for MJ

Number Two:  we can ask Miss Stella, Mollie and Alfie, to put together some items from her shop for Mary and do a wee bit of shopping for some special wand toys…to make a care bundle to go with Mary to her foster home

Thank you all for your input on what to do with these funds.

Now for a bit of fun…Friday Frolics…Leo style!

He really is a dufus kitty…but ya gotta luvluvluv his enthusiasm!!

Learned from Leo...exploring is fun!
