Hello everyone, it’s me Maxwell and I’m here for Angel Brian’s Thankful Thursday Blog Hop. Thanks to you all for stopping by. We are 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 Angel Brian’s Thankful Thursday Blog Hop, thanks for hopping in, we really do get excited when new blogger pals join us!
Today is kind of one of those thankful in advance things, but today we’re all thankful for all the first responders and dedicated people who are getting prepared for a Winter storm here in the South. There are lots and lots of people who have to work regardless of how the weather goes. We’re thankful for the road crews doing road prep, all first responders who will be out there reponding to emergency needs, healthcare workers who will always show up to take care of their patients and so many others. If you haven’t heard, the weather guessers are, as of now, predicting a major to catastrophic ice or snow storm here. This would be one time where we would be thankful if the weather guessers are wrong.
So, what are you thankful for today? Tell us in the comments and then join us for our Thankful Thursday Blog Hop. Please remember to visit our stores on Etsy and at The Tee Shirt Site. Remember, adopt cats, we deserve it!!!!! More Forever Homes More Often! Purrrrr! Zip! Later!

Maxwell, you look beautiful.
Maxwell ~ you are so handsome ~ do hope weather prediction is wrong ~ hugs,
Yes, the folks that help out are the bestest, Maxwell!
Maxwell I 100% agree with you spreading the brine etc is a 24 hour job for 2 or 3 days…so may roads. No telling what our weather will be like over the weekend…dag gonna be 60 tomorrow and by Friday we are in the North Pole
Sending my thanks too
Hugs Cecilia
Hi there, handsome Maxwell. We are thankful for all those folks who prepare for emergencies so we can all stay safe. We hope the weather guesser are wrong this time, too!
I do hope you don’t get anything catastrophic, just a winter day to spend at home nice and warm.
Maxwell, you are one handsome cat dude! Oh yeah we do love the first responders! We’re dreading the possibility of icy precip here too!
Being prepared and organized is very important!
Handsome Maxwell!
Yes indeed, we know petcretary has to go to her work, in all kinds of weather, thankfully not nearly as often as in the past.
We have seen the forecasts for you area and it seems scary. Let’s pray it won’t be nearly as bad as they say…or that it doesn’t happen.We are all thankful for those who keep the roads drivable as best they can,and that anyone who has to drive in it, take lots of extra time.
For our area the ice isn’t a factor, though we’ll see more snow, but less than to the west of us, by the lakeshore. The real problem here will be the bitter cold, with a predicted low of -14 on Saturday night, and that doesn’t include the wind chill. Brrr!
Stay safe, and warm! Hope your ferals will be OK.
Stay safe and warm! ❤️
Oh, we hope that storm the news talked about is going to change its mind…
I am praying for protection for all of you at Brians Home and for the others in your area. this sounds like a hurricane, but with ice/snow/sleet and other icky stuff. Plus the COLD. I somehow missed this. will check it out now… hugs and love to all of you
Cute photo of Maxwell! It is a good idea to be prepared for any storm. Take care, enjoy your day!
We know the road crews around here are getting prepared for a MAJOR snow and maybe ice event. Hopefully people will stay off the interstates so they can be clear for those who HAVE to get somewhere. We have lots of firewood on standby and plenty of food (Mom and Dad have done TWO grocery trips this week!)……I know we’ll be cozy. Let’s hope everyone is safe, warm and gets through this storm.
Hugs, Teddy and Mom Pam
What would we do without our wonderful first responders, Maxwell!
Oh gosh, please stay safe! Do your humans have a generator, Maxwell? Emergency supplies? I hope so! 🤞❤️🙏
We will be very thankful on this storm is over because it’s obviously going clear across the country. We are also going to be thankful that we’re getting snow and not ice. It will be so much dangerous for everybody in the south.
we cross our fingers for all peeps and pets in the storm area
We hope your storm won’t be too bad. We are going to be in close to record cold for 72 hours starting later today, actual temps in -20’s and wind chills around -40 to -50. Needless to say, we won’t be walking much the next few days.
yupper…going to be bad bad bad here too, they say. The ice is what scares us.
I was an essential worker. As I am at the highest point atop a mountain, I would call in..say someone will have to come and get me and bring me back. “They”, the persons who were told to get me, had the right vehicles the chains and whatever else was needed. It was a hairy time trying to get back and forth. With the ice…it was much more difficult to get up here.
Praying you don’t get an awful storm. Thank you for hosting. Have a great day. XO
Mom’s been following the track of that storm. We hope they are WRONG.
My paws are crossed that you don’t get an ice storm and that you all stay warm and safe in the coming days.
What a wonderful thankful today, Maxwell. We are hoping the weather guessers are wrong about this storm, but Mama is making sure we have everything ready just in case!
xoxo,
Rosy & Sunny
The weather here is usually about the same as with you. It seems no one really knows what it’s going to do this weekend. It changes by the hour.
winter storm…. I’m kinda jealous… warm and sunny not snowy in Colorado…we need snow and I need seasons but that’s not what we have
The Z Kids and I will certainly be thankful if the NWS is wrong about this storm! I can handle snow, even a foot’s worth; but freezing rain? No. Thank. You!!! I worry about the trees behind our back fence more than I do our big oaks. At least Sam & I have always done our best to take care of our trees; but the owner of the property behind us is a sleazy realtor who couldn’t care less about his own property never mind anyone else’s. Meanwhile I have to get some milk today.
Stay safe!
We’re thankful for them too. They do such wonderful and important work. Stay safe.
Thank you for hosting the Thankful Thursday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Thankful Thursday and rest of the week. Scritches to all the kitties and my very best to their wonderful peeps. ♥
Mornin’, Maxwell – I also hope that the weather-guessers are wrong.
We have been reading about the terrible winter storm coming your way. We hope you will be safe, and your feral family too.
Purrs,
The Chans
The first responders all do a wonderful job. I do hope the weather guessers are wrong, and the snow storm won’t be as bad as expected.
They all work hard to help people :-D
I so enjoy being with you, Maxwell and to all of our friends here you could say I’m thankful for it!
Mum and I are thankful that so far Winter has not been too bad for us.
However, Winter is far from over. Being in Canada, we are accustomed to
snowy Winters,though it has not been too bad so far. I am sending purrs that things will not be too bad for you!
Purrs Winnie
Me alegra que estén bien. Siempre es bueno agradecer. Te mando un beso.
That’s a really good thankful. As of just a couple days ago the storm was supposed to stay well south of us. Not anymore!
I wish all the best to all those in the path of these storms. Stay safe, warm, and give your family my love.
Good luck in the very bad no good snow
Couldnt agree more, where would we be without the first responders. Hope yooure all keeping well xxx
We sure hope that the weather girls are wrong, Maxwell, if not…here come some Extra Warm Pawkisses for all of you and have a great day too🐾😽💞
Charlee: “Batten down those hatches, guys! This storm sounds like it’s going to be really off the hook with the cold and the snow!”
Lulu: “I think it sounds like fun.”
Charlee: “Yes well that’s because you’re a crazy Malamute/Husky mix.”
I am not looking forward to this storm and pray that none of us lose our power, but if we do then I hope it’s restored quickly. We don’t have an alternative heat source, so it makes for miserable conditions. Despite this I’m so thankful to have shelter from the elements. Sadly, some hoomans and furbabies aren’t so fortunate. Y’all keep warm and be safe. Have a blessed weekend!
We hope everyone stays safe and warm, dear Maxwell.
Guys, we are thankful for them too! Maxwell dude, mew are looking epic, Pandora says so, and she would know! Happy Caturday to mew all! 🐾😻🐾😻🐾
