Thankful Thursday Blog Hop:  Friends the World Over

thankful thursday blog hop brian 07272023

Hello everyone, thanks to you all for stopping by for our Thankful Thursday Blog Hop.  I am always thankful to each of you for joining us!  Each and every Thursday we share the things for which we are most thankful and we always enjoy reading all of the things you are thankful for too. If you are new to our Thankful Thursday Blog Hop, thanks for hopping in, we really do get excited when new blogger pals join us!

Today I’m thankful that through blogging we’ve made friends on six of the seven continents.    Who knows, maybe one of these days we’ll have a friend on Antarctica . Anyways, this Sunday is The International Day of Friendship.  That got me thinking about all of our friends, including those who are no longer with us.

7.30.2023 Intl Day of Friendship

We have lots of blogging friends, but they seem more like family to us.  Blogging friends, as y’all know, are just the best. We’ve been fortunate to have met quite a few of our blogging pals over the years and we’re thankful for that too.  So, this Sunday is a day to celebrate our friendships, but we should do that every day shouldn’t we?

Okay, that’s it for now.  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!

  1. We’re thankful for all of our blogging friends, too, Brian. They really are the best, and we’re so blessed to have you and your family as our pals. And we loved meeting your awesome dad in person, too! XO

  2. Yes thankful to those we’ve met online blogging and otherwise. In fact today TW had lunch with one of our Twitter/blogging pals. We wish more lived nearby but it’s nice sharing with those all around the world.

  3. Wow! Six continents, that is impressive! I really enjoy all the blogger buddies along the way too! Many different countries, but i don’t think I’ve reached that many continents!

  4. antarctica? wow we hope there will be a polar bear who is your friend, that could be interesting to read his blog… if it is not frozen… LOL

  5. Brian, this makes you practically an international traveler since you have so many friends in so many places around the world. And yet you get to stay home and the comfort of your own living room.

  6. We love our blogging friends too, those we have met in person and only online. It is sad we don’t have BlogPaws to meet people anymore, but life is always changing and evolving. Lots of friends have left the blogging world too and we miss them.

  7. Me and dad are super thankful for all our blogging friends, especially those dad’s known since the early blogging days with Orbit and, of course, Cleopatra. I only wish we were able to spend more time in here, especially with all that’s going on with us right now.

  8. The CB is THE most wonderful of communities. I am grateful that I happened on it years ago when the only person, just 1, who had found and also commented on Admiral’s brand new blog, happened to use the letters “CB”. I had no idea, nor did Admiral what that meant, We googled it, and the rest is wonderful friend history.

  9. Brian, it is SO cool that there are so many cats blogging from around the world :)
    Cat bloggers are pawsome and I am happy to to be part of this fabulous community :)
    Purrs, Julie

  14. Chaplin: “We agree, there’s nothing better than lots of friends all around the world!”
    Charlee: “Except possibly for being left alone to make muffins on Dada’s lap.”
    Chaplin: “Don’t listen to her. She’s one of those introverts.”

  15. All my blogger friends are treasures ~ especially you kitties and doggies ~ Xo

  16. You’re all the best. ~hugs~ And I don’t recall ever mentioning this but I like the “Purrrrr! Zip! Later!” following the urge to adopt, to which I could not agree more. :D Be well!

  17. We too love all our blogging friends. As we have said before, we think pet bloggers, especially, are the kindest and most compassionate individuals we know, and that goes for your dad! Thanks for the reminder. Our Sunday Selfies are all about friendship, so purrfect that they will fall on this special day!

  18. My friends in “Blogville” have gotten me through so much and celebrated so much with me that it does feel more like one HUGE extended family! And I’m thankful for each and every one!

  19. We know what you mean about friends everywhere. We get visitors (not always commentors) from all over the world. Some are from places where we don’t even know the visitor cat. We don’t mind lurkers. If they read the blog, they must like us and that’s all we ask!

  20. The blogging community is wonderful! We’re thankful for all our blogging buddies.

  21. Hi Hi and we are thankful for your weekly Blog Hop, sharing your life with us and we agree we are all blessed to have friends all over the world thanks to blogging and the internet, Happy Friendship Day for Sunday, have a safe great weekend with a woof from Layla

  22. Wonderful info always from you. Your kindness toward C A T S as our lil Blake calls them is a real joy for me. I have the naughty boy you know, so seeing these precious babies gives me hope. Lately I wake up and Mister Kitty is staring at me. haha He is quite a scaredy cat. Have a good weekend and enjoy!

  23. We are so thankful for the furbulous and epically epic friends we’ve met through cat blogging too, and the P.A. even met your epic Dad at one of the Blogpaws conferences Brian! Gosh, that seems so long ago when my Cuddle Clone turned out to be the biggest disaster of the decade! MOL MOL
