Thankful Thursday - Just Plain Thankful!

(Hours before - Smokey on typewriter / much wringing of paws - smoke coming out of both ears)

Present time:

Hullos Pals!

Well, dis Thursday I almost didn't write this blog. I was having a little bit of trouble accentuating on da pawsitive: riots and looting where my pal @jazzydacat lives; my auntie Isabel confirmed her cancer has metastasized; pals crossing Over to the Rainbow Bridge; somefing going on wif economy which means my treats have been downgraded; on and on.

But mom had a chat to human (a little play on words there) wif me, and in da end, she gave me da sekret words dat make up da word "thankful": gratitude, hope, and faith (wif a bit of humour thrown in).

So I've thot about it and I have to practice a bit more on all those sekret words (except humour cuz I'm one goofball of a kat dat make Mom laff).  But I have gratitude in my heart when all my pals show kindness to me; and I have hope that things will get better for all da anipals and hoomans dat suffer; and I have faith in one dat I cannot see, but I know who is there.  So in da end, I AM ONE THANKFUL KITTEH!

Thanks for stopping by!

An Award! Who Me?

I can't believe it!! My pal, BadAndy (a/k/a @BadAndy_KityKat on Twitter) gave me this Stylish Blogger Award - MEOW! What a beautiful award.  I'm going to try and attempt to put it here now:



(paws to mouth) - Oh my! it worked!  I tells you, I fell backwards when I saw it.  I luvs my blog, but I'm nowhere near da stylishness of my other pals' blogs! Now this award is not given for free, uh-uh.  I has to share 7 things about me that no one knows about me.  Does dat include my Mom?  I hopes not, she knows everything, even where I leave my collars in da yard.  Excuse me a moment . . .

[conversation with Mom]

I was just talking wif Mom, she thinks I should disclose ONE thing only no one knows about me, dis way I remains Smokey Pino - Kat of Mystery! MOL! So one thing dat everyone knows about me is how I luvs to eat.  What no one knows is dat I won't eat until Mom grooms me!  If she's not in da house, I will eat but if Mom is in da house, I needs to be groomed first.  So there! Now you knows something new about me.

Da next step, is giving out this award to someone else.  So, I'm giving this award to my pal @whskr.  Can't wait to see what we don't know about her.  So off I go to send her the award and find out sekrets from her.

Thanks you for stopping by, always a pleasure to chat for a whiles,

Your pal,
Smokey
