Is This A “Haven”???

HIYA!!!   SAVANNAH HERE!!!

I thought I would make an attempt at the Saturday Photo Hunt…and there begins the conundrumpaw!!!  Trying to find a photo of THE haven I like most with me in….ummmmm…actually…under it.

…ok…found it…my paw was getting carpel tunnel syndromepaw trying to paw through all the folders Mom has in my photo section…you’d think she would get organized…but..noooooooooooo…this kitty has to search and search…ok, sorry…too much yowling….

…my fave safe spot right now…I can watch everything going on in our bedroom…their comings and goings…and can dash away from several sides should they attempt to snatch me for some human reason…

thankful for my new safe spot 2

…but then there is always the bag haven…

next day 10

…and of course, every cats fave…UTB…and given that this is a king size bed mattress…they have to lift that sucker off AND the two box springs to get to me…yup, been there, done that…and I lost that one…sigh…

UTB Safety

You cats, dogs, bunnies, piggies, horsies, birdies…all have a great Safe Haven day…

shineon

This award had no requirements, so if anyone would enjoy seeing it shining on their sidebar or on their award page, purrlease take it…

I do hope you all enjoyed the fun that Texas, Jetty and I had with you this week as we teased you along to our brand new VBP Blog Hop…if you missed the teaser posts, click here for Texas…here, for Jetty…and here, for ME!!

I know from comments that some are a tad confused as to how to hook up with us for the hop…good news is…you have until next WEDNESDAY to try it out…AND I will post some more brief protocols this weekend.  I think, speaking for myself, I join few Blog Hops as they are hard to do from within the Word Press free/paid sites.  I am a paid site, but still find it tough and still never can see the WHOLE hop list.

We cannot solve that problem now, it is within Word Press, so you will not for now see all the other sites joining in until next Thursday. But if you CLICK the BLUE FROGGY LINKy then you can see all week long who is joining in and check out some new blogs.

I have to go consult with Texas, the tech guru of our team, and will have more over the weekend.

The Letters Make Words! It’s A Blog Hop

Hey It’s Jet, Savannah and Texas Here.

By now, you probably figured out that Texas, Savannah and I have put our collective fur together, (ok, our Moms helped, too), to make the Vocabulary Building Project an official Blog Hop!

We enjoyed giving you hints all week: click here for Jet’s post, here for Texas’ post and here for my post in case you missed them..

How did we begin? Texas and Savannah turn to Jet…you better tell this part, Jet…

Oh, Ok…Jet Here… let me tell you how Mom and I started this a long time ago on our blog:

Mom’s Papa always asked his children and grandchildren to keep pen and paper beside their beds so when they read their books and came upon an unknown word they could jot it down to look up later. When the family got together they played lots of vocabulary building games. So, when Mom and I began blogging, she wanted to avoid word ruts.

Last spring, Mom inquired whether Savannah and Miss Linda might like to collaborate (VBP) on making VBP a hop… Savannah and Miss Linda introduced us to Texas and Miss Carine creating the VBP Planning Committee.

We’ve been working diligently (VBP) ever since! Miss Ann, Zoey and Maggie from Zoolatry created a pawsome badge, which Miss Carine did really high tech thingies to! Check out Zoey, Prop Mistress extraordinaire, helping with badge arrangements.

First, she made sure the dictionary was sitting properly (VBP) on the table… (notice it is our very special dictionary with all our initials on it)…

Then she had to hop up to make sure it was going to stay straight for the photo shoot and she wanted to see if she could get the bookmark stuck in too…

Great job Zoey, thanks for the help!… as you can see, our VBP Badge is pawfect!

So let’s all talk about what to do now…

How to pawticipate


The Vocab Building Project, or VBP, is a blog hop that invites you to

learn new vocabulary and how to use it,

have fun in the process, using new words in a weekly blog post,

discover new blogs and make new friends.


What do you have to do? It is very simple.

  1. Every Thursday, Jet, Savannah, and Texas will write a blog post containing 2 to 3 words or expressions that are not often used in their blog posts (see examples here, here, and here),
  2. If you decide to join us in the fun, you have one week (you can pick any day you wish, from Thursday to the next Wednesday, that’s how flexible this blog hop is!) to write a blog post containing 2 to 3 words or expressions that you do not use often – it does not have to be the same as the hosts’, this is your choice,
  3. Pick one of the following badges by copying its code below (select the text in the box, right-click on selected code and copy), paste the code in your post (you have to paste it in the Text/HTML section when you write your post), write your post and don’t forget to add (VBP) after each new word you are using. We strongly suggest you only use 2-3 just to keep it easy and interesting,
  4. When your post is online, enter its URL/permalink by clicking on the Inlinkz image that you will find at the bottom of our Thursday VBP post,
  5. The following Thursday, at the end of our VBP posts, we will link to all the participating blogs, so that we can all visit participating blogs.

Any question? Leave a comment below and we will get back to you as soon as pawsible!
