Thankful Thursday

Hiya Savannah Here…

I don’t do “Thankful Thursday”…in fact I just learned about it today when Mom and I were visiting some new blog furriends.

It seemed like something I wanted to do on this particular Thursday, in this particular week of this specific year…

I am so very thankful that I am a cat…not a dog that happens to be on a list for Breed Specific Laws (BSL) somewhere in the USA or elsewhere in the world…especially in Belfast Ireland.  I am thankful I have a forever  home from which I can never be torn. I am thankful I have food, shelter, loving touches and guardians who make sure I am healthy, and I am thankful I am forever safe from harm’s way.  Dad and Mom are truly my special Guardians. I am thankful this Thursday and everyday forward.

Mom, Dad and I did all we could do over the last months and then weeks, then days to Tweet, sign petitions, email government officials here and in Northern Ireland, which is a part of the UK, not to be confused with the Republic of Ireland…trying to help save a lovely innocent dog named Lennox.

Millions around the Twitter, Anipal Blogging and Face Book world were stunned to learn that on Tuesday this week, the Belfast City Council put Lennox to death.

Belfast dog Lennox put to sleep after 2-year fight – Yahoo! News

What he did to break the law was look like a pit bull type dog. He was never aggressive, lived happily with his family and two years ago, BSL slammed him into harm’s way.

The candles are to remember Lennox…and hope the human, biped, peep world learns from this mistake and miscarriage of laws. Can’t we live together in peace and goodwill? Peeps and animals???

For Lennox….the candles burn brightly to guide his way OTRB…

…RIP LENNOX…

As you read my post today, please know that many dog breeds, mixed breeds too as was Lennox…remain in danger from BSLs…and so many more may come to suffer because of them in future. What will we all do together to make it safe for bipeds AND dogs?

Many of our dear blog anipals are in danger of falling within the BSL rules that not only talk about the type, look of the dog…but I learned from my pal Clowie in Spain, that some BSLs even go to the extent of prescribing weight restrictions for dogs that can be deemed ‘dangerous’.  Makes Clowie very nervous.

And of course, many of you know my pal Rumpy…he is a Malmute, one of the top 7 dangerous breeds recognized by insurance companies in the USA…my beloved Siberians are on the top 7 list as well.

So, I don’t know the right answer…I do know in our family we are going to start trying hard to find ways to work on it though…so lots of dogs like Lennox will have a life filled with forever Thankful Thursdays.

This is me…being thankful that I can sleep forever in safety…

Thanks for reading my post today, I am grateful for all the love and warmth you bring to me everyday.

PeeEss…Mom is bored, bored, bored…but she is gettin’ back her typing skills…woo hoo…still has stitches so she has to be careful as Miss Trish from Katnip Lounge says, she only gets one chance for this to heal properly (vocab builder)

Catching Up

Hiya, Savannah here!

Just a short post today. With a little news and some thoughts about the next few days.

First, thank you so much to efurryone for your kind and encouraging words for Mom, and for your appreciation of my pawsome nursing skills!!

Now about Mom…her middle finger is healing, but OH CAT!  It is so awkward for her to type! She is frustrated ‘ cuz she is slow and makes bunches of mistakes…but her finger is not too painful now. WHEW!

She is off the Fuzzy Head Pills…nice for me and Dad!  But she doesn’t get the stitches out until Monday.

Soooooooooooooo…I just wanna let all of you know that I won’t be around to visit your blogs very much until this weekend, or Monday. I miss efurryone so much. I do really, honestly, I swear…I do read all your bloggies efurry day.  Mom and I get out the iPad first thing efurry morning while we watch Good Morning America with Dad. And we read all your new posts together…we laugh and talk about all the stuff you guys are all up to…nice start to our day…

But, Mom is gonna throw that iPad across the room if she keeps on trying to type comments on blogs and her fingers don’t go in the right places,and that touch screen jumps all around…ohhhhhh…it is noooottttt good….believe me (and Dad)…she gets in a ‘mood’…ugh!

I will try to keep my posts going but they will be short. And we will work to respond to your visits here. Me and Mom  know this is OK with efurryone, and appreciate your patience.

I worry that you may forget who I am and what I look like…’cuz Mom can’t make the FLASH and CLICK thingy work really good right now either …so here are a few shots Mom took recently…hope you will remember me…

…I spent a long time at this window at our front door this morning…there were two kitties across the street…I watched ’em really close so they didn’t come on my front porch…

…and me on my fave Nip ‘N Nap Mat….purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…

Paw pats, Savannah
