I had a review and giveaway planned for today, but ran into a glitch. Hopefully I’ll be able to share that at some point this week, but I was left with an empty spot in my schedule. I don’t always plan ahead of time, so when I do, I don’t handle changes to my plans very well! I had just read about this Share Gratitude blog hop and wanted to participate but this time had my week planned before I saw it. So I took Sheba for a walk, and formulated a new plan. I’m grateful for the warm day we had today which made for great walking weather and a chance to clear my head and regroup!
Our whole crew will be sharing all week about different things we are each grateful for. Today the two oldest siblings – felines Conrad and Samantha will tell you about a couple of things they are grateful for!
Thanks, Mom! Conrad is the shy one, so I, Samantha will tell you what we are grateful for. Our first of our top two things is our wonderful cozy home with lots of warm places to sleep. One of my favorites is the laundry basket, and one of Conrad’s is in the dog/cat bed in front of the wood stove.
We are also grateful that we always have lots to eat and full bellies! As you can see, Conrad really gets focused on eating….he can’t even be bothered to look at the Momz’ camera!
We’re grateful Momz has her blog, because it means she gets to enter lots of good giveaways, and she recently won something for us! We got this great prize pack from Oz the Terrier and Hill’s Science Diet. There was a nice new dish and 8 cans of grain free cat food. That tote bag will come in handy for the Momz. Thanks so much to Oz and Hill’s! Oh, and guess what? Tote bags make great beds too!
From the Momz: We are grateful to have these two beautiful cats in our lives, and that we are able to provide a comfortable home and healthy diet for them. They provide us with love and companionship in return!
This blog hop is hosted by Cascadian Nomads, the aforementioned Oz the Terrier, Loved by a Collie, and Kitty Cat Chronicles. They will be sharing about what they are grateful for all week long, and other bloggers are encouraged to share posts and link up each day they do. Readers and followers are encouraged to share thankful stories and photos in the comments or on social media. You may use the hashtag #ShareGratitude so everyone can be inspired by each other’s gratefulness.
Very sweet post and such cute kitties.
Thank you!!
I checked with my cats, and they said they are grateful Mom takes us dogs wit her on vacation. I’m not sure if that is an insult or a positive thing??? You kitties are really tough nuts to understand!
Oh, we definitely think that is a positive thing, Emma. And now we have a bone to pick with Momz, because they never take the dogs away on vacation!
We work hard at being mysterious, and apparently we succeed. MOL
Love Sam and Conrad
So much to be thankful for! Thanks for sharing, mom thinks we need to do this one too. Love Dolly
We hope you do, Dolly. We’d like to see what you, your Mom, and Rhette are all grateful for too. Oh, and Taffy too…your family has been growing so quickly lately, and that is something definitely to be grateful for (you’re almost caught up to us…hee hee).
You kitties sure do have lots of wonderful things to be grateful for! Love all of those adorable photos. It’s so nice to meet you, Samantha and Conrad!
Thank you for joining our #ShareGratitude blog hop!
You’re welcome, and thank you for having this hop and inspiring us (and getting us through our glitch)!
It is so nice to meet you all too!
Sorry to hear about the glitch! Hope all gets sorted soon.
Sounds like you and your kitties have much to be grateful for. Congrats on your winnings! How exciting!
Thanks so much for joining the hop and spreading the word on how it works! Really appreciate it. I enjoyed reading your post. Your kitties are beautiful!
Thank you! We are so glad you all had this hop, and we are happy to share.
The Momz got her glitch worked out and the giveaway will be up tomorrow. Hope you come enter….it’s for all animal lovers!
Those are all wonderful things to be grateful for.
We are very blessed.
You two are the cat’s pajamas! It’s good to know that you’ve got it so good and appreciate it all!
Bunny
Thank you, Bunny! That is high praise coming from a dog! 🙂
So much to be thankful for!
Yes, indeed!
Looks like you can be thankful for all the prizes you win! Someone has a lucky Mommy! Love this hop…
The Momz used to have no luck at all until she started blogging. We have no idea why that is.
This is a great hop, isn’t it?
Lots to be grateful for Samantha! And looks like you won another giveaway over at my blog. Too bad it’s for the woofies though.
Oh, those darn woofies, Miss Ann! Well at least we got this one….next one is ours too then!
Those are wonder-fur blessings that you enjoy. Happy Share Gratitude Week. ♥
Thank you, and same to you! xo
When I read that a laundry basket makes a good bed I envisioned my dumpy, cold plastic one but a lovely wood one looks cozy indeed. People say cats don’t appreciate their humans but Conrad and Samantha definitely have inspirationally grateful hearts. And, Jan, you have made reminded me of my extreme gratitude for walks! They really can fix everything, can’t they? I am sorry about the frustrating glitch but am so glad you’ve joined the hop!
Walks really are the best for clearing my head and getting some focus back.
I stopped using plastic laundry baskets years ago (they never stood up to me). The wicker ones last forever….some of the wicker falls out but it still stays together! Plus now there’s the added bonus of it doubling as a cat bed. 🙂
That’s a lot to be grateful for. I try and think of ten things I am grateful for every night before I go to sleep. Of course, that doesn’t always happen, but I try!
What a good idea! I wonder if that would help me fall asleep at night…kind of like counting sheep? 🙂
Congrats on your win!!!!
So many things to be thankful for.
Sorry your having a glitch with your review and giveaway! That is never fun to deal with!
ღ husky hugz ღ frum our pack at Love is being owned by a husky!
Thanks! The glitch has been fixed so the giveaway will be up tomorrow!
Awwww, that’s great stuff to be grateful for.
We thought so! 🙂
What lovely kitties you two are, and a great prize pack you won. Have a great week soaking up the warmth and hopefully the sun.
Thanks! It has been a beautiful week so far, but tomorrow they say the S-N-O-W is coming! Only the dogs are happy about that!
Wonderful things to be thankful for!! And OH! I almost forgot you won the kitty-cat food from Hill’s. Look at that great prize pack…I sure hope you enjoy the food.
Oz
Conrad is loving it! Sam is a little more finicky, so we have to try some different flavors to hit on the one she’ll really like.
What a great post!!! Our kitty will make a bed out of anything! BOL!
Thank you! Cats are good like that, aren’t they? 🙂
