IMPAWTANT REMINDERS
If you haven’t already done so, please leave a comment on my post HERE by December 12th
and let’s feed some needy pets.
Don’t forget kitties, our Walkin’ in a Kitty Wonderland Photo Contest.
Entry deadline is December 9th.
I know we all read a bunch of different blogs, but I saw this over at the Talking Dogs Blog a while back and I just had to share it with you. If you have any old cell phones here’s a terrific way to get rid of them and to help pets at the same time!
Your phone will make a difference!
The Petco Foundation is collecting and recycling old cell phones to aid in its mission of raising the quality of life for pets and people who need them. Proceeds from donated phones help create responsible pet owners, reduce the number of animals euthanized, rescue animals in crisis, and rehabilitate behavioral issues in pets.

Shipping Instructions:
- Place used phones and accessories in an envelope or small box. (If battery is not attached to phone, place tape over terminal ends.)
- Affix postage-paid mailing label to package.
- Seal package and place in mailbox.
I am thankful to Petco for this simple way to help.
I usually post awards on Monday, but since I had my Photo Contest post on Monday and I am always thankful when friends think of me, I’ll just include them here.
I am thankful to Simba & Audrey from Simba’s Antics, Wally, Ernie & Zoey from The Island Cats, Sherlock, Traveler & Ash from The Feline Purr-spective, and Allie, Ellie, Raz, Clifford & Cubby from Friends FurEver for sharing their 2012 Blog of the Year Award with us.
I had one star so we now have 5 stars, so we are still one short. Hey, it’s not the first time I’ve come up short!!! Have a Thankful Thursday everyone! Â Adopt cats, we deserve it!!! More Forever Homes More Often! Purrrr! Zip! Later!

Concatulations on all your stars! And thanks for the word about donating your cell. My human has a couple old ones lying around. In fact, I think she still has the last one, which she, um, sort of accidentally smashed because it had “issues.” They probably don’t want that one!
Thank you, thank you Brian and lady cats and humans. We recd the book we won on your contest. It came when the humans were out vacationing so we just saw the book yesterday. Thanks again. We are so thrilled.
Congrats, Brian! You are always a STAR to us.

Thanks for doing this important commentathon!
Hey Brian, Jet here.
Congrats, on your 5*s, Dude… pawesome.
Love the phone idea and we already commented when you told us… I think we’re up to date…
Concats on all your stars! You are an all-star in our book. That is a great idea for old phones. Our mom uses her new one & her old one. She talks & texts on the new one but uses the old one as a camera and an alarm clock.
Good for you Brian! Congratulations on the awards. Five stars that’s something to be proud of.
