We Won an Award!

We're so excited!  Some of our wonderful blogging friends have given us an award! *

Thank you to our pals Oui Oui, Mica Minnie Moo, Julie and Carlos at Twinkletoe Tails and Sherlock, Ash and Traveler at Sherlock's Feline Purr-spective for the 2012 Blog of the Year Award!  To learn the rules about how the six stars on this unique award work, go here.  In short, this award is for blogs "you love to read" and that "you bookmark and follow."  We love ALL of our blogging friends so much, so this is really and truly an honor for us! :)

Here's our favorite part of the award: we get to pass it along to blogs WE love!  It's so difficult to choose less than, like, 250 of you.  So we'll cap our list of honorees at 16.  Otherwise we're never going to finish this post! :)  So, without further ado, we'd like to give the 2012 Blog of the Year Award to...

Katie Isabella

Spitty Speaks

A Tonk's Tail (er... Tale...)

Cat's Cats

Cat Chat with Caren and Cody

My Dogs Love Me

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday - Kitchen Cats

A funny thing happened recently in the PAWS kitchen...

Gracie: Zoey and I had nothing to do with this.  We've been up here the whole time.

Gracie: See?

Tracey and Kevin: Um, boys?  Does that bag belong to you?

Max: Oh, I love this catnip pillow!

Freddy: I wonder what else is in this bag?  Max: MEOW!

The bag, incidentally, did NOT belong to Max and Freddy.  But they sure had fun with its contents.  All of the sweet and friendly PAWS kitchen cats are available for adoption. Come meet them today! :)

Oh Christmas Tree!

Sammy loves his chair, and his tree...

Moosey is getting a jump on waiting for Santa under the tree

Happy Thanksgiving! :)

 
Moosey: Hi, everybuddy!  Sammy and I are having so much fun at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade...

Sammy: Moosey, look!  It's HELLO KITTY! We LOVE Hello Kitty!!!

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Animal Shelter Volunteer Life!

We're so grateful for people involved with animal rescue. And for those who choose to adopt shelter animals and/or take in stray pets.  And for those who work with, or volunteer with, shelter animals; serve as foster families; care for feral cats and/or participate in trap-neuter-return programs; and raise awareness about animals in need.  And for animal lovers everywhere.

We also give big thanks for our families and friends (animal and human alike), including all of our blogging pals.  Thank you for sharing in our lives, and for allowing us to share in yours.  We love you all!

Kevin (meowmeowmans), Tracey, Sammy and Moosey
