Thankful Thursday Blog Hop: Sometimes You Just Need a Change

thankful thursday blog hop brian 06142018Welcome to our Thankful Thursday Blog Hop. Believe me, we’re sure glad to be here after several instances of downtime. As you know, each and every Thursday we tell everyone about the things for which we are most thankful and we’ve had some pretty busy weeks lately. We always have so much to be thankful for each day and today is no exception. We all love it when you join us for our blog hop and we love it when new blogger pals hop in too. Your thankfuls always make us smile!

Today I’ve got two thankfuls to share with you, both dealing with change.  As you can tell from my photo, I got to try some new food, and boy was it yummy.  It seems like we don’t get to try new foods very often so it was a real treat to try something different, and it was so darn good.  I’m thankful that the Dad gave me a bowl to get my opinion!

My second thankful today also deals with change.  As most of you know, our blog was hacked and we had a real mess on our paws.  After we got everything cleaned up the Dad decided that the best option for us was to move our blog to a new host.  If you’ve ever been thought that, it’s a lot of work and it kept the Dad plenty busy.  But he got it done and so far things are seeming much better for us.  We’ve got all kind of additional security measures in place thanks to Marco at Wordfence.  I’m most thankful that the Dad got this wrapped up and we can, hopefully, get on with our normal blogging routine.  Oh, don’t we all love normal!

So, what are you thankful for today?  Tell us in the comments and then join us for our Thankful Thursday Blog Hop.  Remember, adopt cats, we deserve it!!!!! More Forever Homes More Often! Purrrrr! Zip! Later!

my goodness, is it time for Thankful Thursday already? I’m glad your blog maintenance is over. It can be a big chore. New foods are always fun, especially when they’re tasty. We’re thankful that no one (human or animal) was hurt when two houses in our neighborhood were involved in a fire.

My blog has had to change hosts in the past, but that was before I was around. It’s a task that my human is NOT fond of!

Change is very important and also often very difficult. We hope the blogging problems are now history.

So, will that new food now become a staple, Brian?

Normal is definitely not overrated, and we’re glad your Dad was able to get things fixed up, and very quickly too!
Your new food looks a lot like the food Sam eats now too, and she also loves it (for now anyway – MOL).

We’re glad you got the mess cleaned up, too, Brian. The mom has been thinking of moving our blog to a new host too. But she doesn’t know how to do all that technical stuff. Enjoy your new food!

Hacking is awful. Some site in China attacked my site the other night, but wordfence kept them back, that and an awesome password! So glad you got your site back and under control.

The new food sure looks yummy. We change food brands frequently, because Zoe is so finicky. And it is always a pleasure to see her enjoy her food, at least until tomorrow. 😄 I am so glad you can get back to normal and don’t have to deal with hacking and moving your website. That is a real pain. I just moved a month ago and had a glitch that I am still dealing with, but almost done. Yael

I am UN-thankful that I forgot it was Thankful Thursday! DOH! Think I’ll add a reminder to my calendar; let’s hope that works for me! Brian, it’s nice to have a new treat once in awhile. Last night…and don’t you dare tell The Hubby!…I snuck some kibble to Angel, and then to Manny and Chili Bruce. It just seemed the right thing to do.
