Love Is In The Air

HIYA!!   SAVANNAH  HERE!!!

Okey dokey…I have some stuff to share…so here goes…

First…I know that Valentine’s Day is fast approaching…that always gets all of us furrAmily and huAmily thinkin’ about “LOVE”…fine, fine…Ok…I get it…

Savvy I love you award

Sorry, so sorry…I just digressed…

Back on track now…my VERY VERY GOOD FURRIEND NERISSA…yes, HIS NAME is NERISSA!!!…has given me yet another FANTABULOUSpaw AWARD…designed by none-other than his PEEP!!

APAWS!!!   APAWS!!! FOR NERISSA’S PEEP!!!!!

Nissy, yes…he allows me to refer to his preferred name…”Nissy“…ahem…anyways…he passed this award to me and several other pawsome blogs… he named the award  “WHY I LOVE THEE“…

Why I Love Thee award

The “RULES” are rather simple…link to the original giver of the award…DONE

Nissy said “you’ve gotta tell us why you love somebody ’cause this award is all about the love.  And last, but not least, you need to pass the award along.  You can pass it along to one blog or fifteen blogs or any number of blogs in-between.  Pretty easy stuff, right?  Yeah…  easy peasy.”

This my WHY I LOVE THEE…to my Dad…

I languished in two shelters for over 14 months…my second shelter, Thank Ceiling Cat!…was a no kill private shelter…Kitty Corner, owned by Contra Costa Humane Society.  My Dad found this shelter in the newspaper, and Mom visited. Then Mom brought Dad…and the VERY FIRST cat Dad said Hello to was ME!  Yup, one of the volunteers told Dad about this “very depressed cat, no one ever sees…her name is Savannah”.  And Dad looked for me, and found me in my hidedy cubby bed…and he got right down on the floor and reached in and offered ME his loving soft pet.  That’s MY DAD!!  He found me, he loves me with his whole heart and he brought me here to my furrever home…of course, Mom had something to do with it all…BUT…This is why I luvluvluv MY DAD…even tho’  I am afraid of men, I am now sleeping at Dad’s footsies; I snuggle with him at night and solicit his special pets…he is MY DAD…and I just luvluvluv him to pieces.  In the shelter, when he started volunteering with Mom on Thursday Morning cleaning duty, I was the first cat he said ‘hello’ to and the last cat he said ‘good-bye’ to for each shift.  And NOW…I am HIS PRINCESS!!.

So I have a 3 blogs that I really think show lots of love…and I pass this award to them…

  • Filled with lots of love…my good furriends at Some Cats Herd You…always a great read…and Ashton is trying so hard to show some luv to Pierre and Newton.
  • And how could I not pass this Why I Love Thee award to my Champion…Jetty, Hey It’s Jet Here!! My honor champion…he always makes me feel loved and safe. I know Miss Lori is not posting every day now, but I want Jet to feel our love!
  • I also want to honor one of my newest furriends…Jessie and Janey…from Australia…I have such luvluvluv for them..purrlease visit it you don’t know them.

Onward!! One more great thing about “Love Is In The Air”…

I entered a contest over at my bestest furriend Texas’s site…it was all about love…Texas had a give-away for calendars created by one of my very first furriends…Miss Bernadette…and her lovely Tortie cats Cookie and Kelly…at The Creative Cat…and I WON the Kitchen Calendar featuring Cookie…Pawsome!!!

You may ask “why is this about love”…and I will answer you…both Cookie and Kelly lived such wonderful long lives under the Guardianship of Miss Bernadette…and both these lovely ladycats were so like Mom’s “before me” sweet kitty Tasha…

tasha

This calendar is completely and totally about LOVE!!!

I hope all of you are feeling LOVE IS IN THE AIR…as we approach the BIG day….Valentine’s Day Ball…hosted by none other than Mollie and Alfie and Ranger…hope to see you all there

VALENTINE BALL

Foto Flops Friday

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

After our last foto shoot play session…I decided I needed to share Mom’s efforts.

And just sayin’…Mom needs some serious foto lessons for getting action shots…especially impawtant is for her to learn how to keep her own peep hand OUT of MY action shots!!! Sheeesh…

Oh yeah, and the wand toy is NOT THE FOCUS of the foto Mom…and another thing…it’s about FOCUS…here, you all have to take at look…(you don’t need to bigify these to get my meaning)

Hope all of you have a better fotograwfer at your home…in fact…I KNOW lots of you have peeps with this skill…would you mind having them give Mom a little help, Na’mean???
