It's the Countdown to Christmas! Only 25 more days until the Jolly old elf delivers the presents! This year I've asked for a Yeowwww Nanner! Kozmo got one when he went to the vet at the end of November, and he does not like to share!
Anyway on to the badges!
Yep! Our Peeps do love us cats and we DO love them! This month we are going to make sure that we do all the things that make our Peep THANKFUL that we are in her life!
I don't know about you guys, but Peeps up here in the Great White North are hurting. The mill in our village closed last winter and the Chip Mill closed last month. The Mill in the nearest big town has cut back to only a single shift and that's just within 60 miles! Its happening everywhere! Shelters across North America are reporting record-high pet surrenders, driven by rising costs, housing instability, and long-term care challenges that many pet owners are unable to meet. We don't have much, but us cats (and Nutmeg) have said we will cut back so we can help our local shelter. December is Gift Your Shelter Month and we are gifting our local shelter extra this year to help them out.
And Kozmo wants everyone to know he is celebrating a week of THANKFULS!
He got to go and visit the Vet to get his blood taken for his Thyroid near the end of November. He also has been having joint pain issues and not only did he have a terrific visit with the Vets, Vet Tech and all the other staff, but he gotted some medication to help with his joints. Because he does take a lot of stuff for his thyroid, they are giving him a medication that just helps the joints (its NOT a pain killer). Well he IS feeling better and he wanted to celebrate a week of THANKFULS!

| YES! I did this! |
There are so many lay offs everywhere, not just small firms bur big ones too. It is going to be a struggle for so many people. I have money paid from our bank account every month to the main cat shelter, and take gifts, toys scratchers, food etc. to the local branch at Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI forgot to say that I am glad Kozmo had a good vet visit and he is feeling better, and the new meds are helping his joints. Bonus that he is letting your mum sleep better too!
DeleteI so hope there are multiple nanners in your stockings this year, seems you might need them. I am so sorry to hear about all the closings and these things always seen worse during the holiday seasons. I am happy you are all ok, for now. we are all in danger because of our economy and the soaring prices and more and more business closing. our shelters are also jammed to the max for the same reasons
ReplyDeletewe hope it will be a good month for all of us...
ReplyDeleteJo Jo, I'm so furry glad you got by fur our Turkey Talk! And Marv, you really nailed that nanner! We are troubled to see how the economy is getting sad and poor fur evfurry one of the peeps up there. And winter on top of that cruelty. I myself have had bad issues with thyroid and meds 'bout kilt me. So now we wait to see if I will eat special food fur thyroid and no more treats fur me. But none of this is bad bad. Just makes Lynn sad sad. Precious
ReplyDeleteIt's sad to read that companies are closing near you, but we'll take heart to read that Kozmo is doing better!
ReplyDeleteSending purrs.
Yay for good vet visits! That 'nanner looks well loved.
ReplyDeleteSo many peeps are having trouble keeping up. It's sad to see it happening. We are so happy that you are feeling better, Kozmo.
ReplyDeleteHari Om
ReplyDeleteWe need to remember there's suffering of all sorts all year round... But without a doubt, December really hits it home. So glad Kozmo's feeling better (giving mum relief!) and I hope you get the nanner! Hugs and whiskeries YAM-aunty xxx
I'm glad to hear Kozmo is feeling better. You all sure had fun with that nanner. I hope you get more from Santa.
ReplyDeleteWonderful news about Kozmo! Sending purrs for a happy December.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad Kozmo is doing better, that's terrific. Thanks for the fabulous graphics for December!
ReplyDeleteI love your header. Great job on all the badges too. And I am happy Kozmo is feeling better. XO
ReplyDeleteCharlee: "That's scary about all the layoffs and the people who can't keep their pets. We sure hope the shelters are able to find homes for them but we know it must be rough since so many people are affected."
ReplyDeleteChaplin: "Hopefully Santa will come through this year instead of being his usual judgmental self. Not that we're still bitter on Dennis's behalf."
Oona: "Perhaps Oona needs to go have a word with this Santa."
Chaplin: "Well Dennis tried that and it didn't work out so well."
Charlee: "We're glad to hear that Kozmo had a good vet visit and is feeling better! We send lots of purrs for that to continue!"
Lulu: "And we dogs send lots of tail wags!"
It sounds like several new nanners are needed. As for the times being tough, it only makes it tougher when you can't keep your best pal with you, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteWe are glad to hear that Kozmo is feelingv better.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like that Nanner d=suffered a miahap at the claws of Marv!! MOL!
Oops, sorry for all the typos...my fingers were crazy, and I hit the publish button when I was trying to correct them...sigh...
ReplyDeleteThank you for the beautiful December badges. We love that Kozmo is feeling better, and you certainly busted up that nip nanner! :-D
