I am thankful when everyone finally falls asleep and I can get a little reading done.
Noel only gets about 18 hours a day of sleep.

DogDaz Zoo Against Breed Specific Discrimination
That’s my cousin Sarah and her pit-mix, Griffin. Help stop breed specific discrimination. Call your representative today!!!!
Some people have asked if Louise is a pit-mix… you never know, she could be.
Caturday: Gertrude, the Fluffy
Gertrude was my wonderful long haired calico. She and I had a very close relationship for over 17 years. She passed over the bridge in 2007. I miss her quiet, funny way. I don’t have any long hairs in the zoo currently.
K8 took this picture when she was learning photography in high school. It was a real dark room development project. I just love it.
I can not imagine a life without cats. Happy Caturday.

Thankful Thursday: Liebster New Year
We are thankful to start the year off with a lovely Liebster Award from Mary at My Life With Christ. We love making new blog friends and really appreciate when someone reaches out and touches us. Mary is a young girl who is very passionate about her love of her god, Christ, and shares it through her blog.
The award rules are as follows:
1. Thank the person who nominated you, and link back and recognize their blog in your post. DONE
2. Answer the ten questions posted by the blogger who nominated you! BELOW
3. Nominate ten other bloggers for the award. I stopped nominating folks last year because there were too many awards flooding people’s blogs and so many of us were overwhelmed by them we could not enjoy them. I love you all and you know who you are.
4. Create ten questions for your nominees to answer. OH MY – THAT IS HARD – take a look at the thoughtful questions Mary gave me.
5. Notify your nominees via comment.
Questions Mary asked:
1.) What do you struggle with the most? Injustice in the world. The way that people treat each other and animals. It is hard sometimes to watch how cruel humans are to each other and everything around them.
2.) If you had one question to ask God, what would you ask? How can I be of better service?
3.) What are you most thankful for? My ability to find the good in things.
4.) How do you best handle heated/angry situations? With compassion as best I can.
5.) What is your favorite (Christian) song/band? Why? Don’t have one but I do like Gospel music
6.) Who is your inspiration? and why?The Dalai Lama, because he practices what he preaches.
7.) What is the best thing you have ever achieved at this time being? My best achievement is the love and respect of my family.
8.) What is your goal in life? To leave the world better than I found it.
9.) What are you most passionate about? My family and my animals (and my blogs)
10.) What did you regret doing the most? and what did you learn from it? (You can skip this if you’d like) I have few regrets. I learn something each day from other people, the animals, the universe. One should live in such a way that they have no regrets.
Mary – here is a DogDaz Pick of the Litter Award for you, for being so nice. – DogDaz

Caturday: DogDaz’ Holiday Safety List
The cats are always amazed by the lights of the Christmas tree (which you can see reflected in the window behind Noel and Stella). K8 caught them watching the twinkling from a safe distance. Nine, of course, was already climbing the tree, doing his best to undo all the wonderful decorations that K8 and V were putting up.
Don’t forget to celebrate the shortest day and longest night of the year (Winter Solstice) today in the Northern Hemisphere. We gain a bit more daylight every day now until the Spring Equinox.
I can not imagine a life without cats. Happy Caturday.
Keep the furries safe this holiday. Here is a little reminder list of what to be careful of for your cats and dogs (and rabbits and guinea pigs and potbellies, and probably ferrets too) this season:
Bones – Small turkey and ham bones can lodge in the throat, stomach and digestive tract requiring surgery to remove. Also, the fats and gravies that you may add to your pets‘ food can cause diarrhea and vomiting (and ultimately pancreatitis (Yuk!)).
Christmas Trees – These create a whole realm of dangers for your pet. Poorly secured trees can fall on rambunctious pets as the run around or try to climb them. Pine needles can cause GI irritation and perforation. Sharp or breakable ornaments should be kept well out-of-the-way of curious mouths and paws. Christmas trees may contain additives and preservatives, which leech into the water and can be toxic if ingested. Tinsel, yarn and ribbon can cause linear foreign bodies (get wrapped up throughout the intestinal tract) and create a blockage and/or possible perforations.
Electrical Cords – These are always a hazard to curious kittens and puppies. But the extra lights and decorations give even more temptation. Make sure that all electrical cords are in good condition and out of reach.
Holiday Plants – Many plants can be poisonous to you pet. The holidays add a few more to that list and include mistletoe, poinsettia, lilies and holly (the berries are especially toxic).
Lost Pets – The holidays make it easier for pets to sneak their way out of the house with the extra guests and visiting friends going in and out. Be sure to keep identification on your pets and keep them contained in a bedroom if you are expecting a lot of foot traffic through your front door.
Sweets – Holiday candy can cause GI problems and become toxic once ingested. Chocolate is one of the most common causes of toxic reaction in pets. The darker the chocolate the worse it is. Do not place wrapped boxes of chocolate under the tree – dogs can sniff them out. Also be sure to keep the candy dishes covered so playful paws aren’t tempted to fish them out.

Let’s all have a safe holiday season!
