Thankful Thursday Blog Hop: My Shopping Is Done

thankful thursday blog hop brian 12132018Hello everyone, welcome to our Thankful Thursday Blog Hop, you know we are always so very happy to see you! We do this every Thursday so now it’s time for us to post about things we are thankful for today. We always look forward to reading about all of the things you are thankful for too and we sure love it when we see new blogger pals hopping in to join us!

Today I’m thankful that I got my shopping done for my Brother and my Sisters.  My paws are pretty tired from all of that tappin’ on the keyboard.  Actually they are pretty easy to shop for since they like most anything new, even if it looks like something they already have.  I can’t really tell you what I got them since they read the blog too, but let’s just say that Cat Scratchers are pretty popular around here as is anything with Catnip. I know, I know, you would have never guessed that one.

You’re probably thinking scratchers, really, look at that ottoman?!?!  Well, I didn’t do the creative shredding on the ottoman.  Okay, let me put it this way…I didn’t do the creative shredding on the ottoman all by my self.  The artistic ottoman shreds is a collective endeavor of many of us throughout the years.  The peeps haven’t bought a new ottoman yet because we’ve got this one broken in so nicely.  We really are fond of this one, can you tell?

I’m also very thankful that over the years none of us artists have gotten into any trouble for this.  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!

Your ottoman looks like a very attractive scratching spot. My Mom has kept an upholstered love seat because all the kitties have enjoyed occasionally sinking their claws into it. Thankfully, we haven’t gone at it like you all have gone at your ottoman, but it’s here just in case I ever get the urge to get my claws into some fabric. Our other furniture is leather and it’s absolutely off limits in the scratching department. Mostly we all have favored cardboard scratchers.

That ottoman looks “well-loved.” Yes, that’s what it is called around here. 🙂

We bet your siblings will love their gifts, Brian!

Memories of Eric and Flynn

I am glad you have been able to get all your shopping done, Brian. The ottoman looks very well loved. Eric used to like the laundry basket in the bathroom and when anybody came I used to turn it around. I had to remember to turn it back again when they left so it had one presentable side.

Congrats on getting all the Christmas shopping done! We have our youngest daughter and SIL to buy for, as well as my parents then we’ll be done. Yay! It’ll be a modest season for gift giving with our recent car purchase but then we were never ones big into giving elaborate presents anyhow. I like giving and getting simple gifts to honor the Christ child not take away from His birth and the wonderful gift to all mankind. It’s so easy to lose our focus on Christmas’ true meaning with all the shopping frenzy. Hopefully, after the new year, I… Read more »

A new ottoman would mean you guys would have to start all over. I can see why you are thankful.

I’m guessing you kitties won’t get in any trouble at all. You sure wouldn’t at my house either. I think you’ve all done some great artistic work on that ottoman.

I switched likies to the one you’re using. Mr. Linky doesn’t want to share with others. Too bad.

Have a purrfect Thankful Thursday. My best to your peeps. ♥

If your people bought a new ottoman, you kitties would just have to scratch it into the condition you wanted! 🙂

Brian, good for you, that you’ve finished your shopping! As for the ottoman…well, it was designed without cats in mind, otherwise they would have wrapped it in sisal!

THanks for hosting! I am finishing the gift shopping but not the wrapping. The hubby is a great gift wrapper and he has tons of overtime these days! Good to see you here. HUGS

We are very thankful today. Glad you now can relax and rest up after all that Christmas shopping you got completed already. Looks like the ottoman has seen better days but the new scratcher and catnip will be purfect presents. Thanks for the share. Have a great rest of your day.

Brian we are creative shredders too. Mom put a cover OVER the sofa so now we can attack THAT and she is OK with that. It’s the only piece we all go after she can’t figure out why?? But she is ‘thankful’ for that. MOL Glad all your shopping is d-o-n-e!

It sounds very right to be thankful for people who don’t yell when you shred the furniture. Happy Thursday!

You are a very kind and thoughtful Brother, Brian. We bet your brother and sisters will love whatever they receive. That ottoman looks like it has been well worn from love.

That ottoman, MOL! Brian, your folks’ reason for not replacing it is the same reason why our mom won’t recarpet our house! Pick pick pick!

Good to get a head start on the shopping. I need a gift wrapper. My most unfavorite thing to do. The hubby is so good at it but he is working lots of overtime these days. Felines find so many interesting scratching posts. Hmmmm……….Have a wonderful weekend. THe days are flying by. HUGS

Your humans love you all so much, we know you’d never get in trouble for your artistic work on that ottoman. Our thankful is that Mom won us that cool automatic litter box.

Thank you so much for hosting the blog hop. The middle of the week (Wed-Thurs) gets super super busy for me so I rarely have time to visit others on the hop or give you a proper thank you in my post. Sorry about that. I am so grateful that you host the hop!
