Smorgasbord Sunday

22 Comments

Usually on Sundays we participate in The Cat on My Head‘s Sunday Selfies Blog Hop. We will still be participating in that, but we also have a couple of other things going on today. We’ve got Delilah’s Birthday Wrap-Up, and we are also participating in Deziz World‘s Blest Sunday. 

So thank you for joining us for our Smorgasbord Sunday!

Sunday Selfies with Sassy

First off, we’ve got a selfie by Sassy. Beautiful Sassy girl would like to remind everyone to stop by tomorrow for the second post in our FIV series. We will be focusing on the pros and cons of the FIV vaccine. If you missed our first post, The Ins & Outs of FIV, we hope that you’ll check it out. 

Also, Sassy’s birthday is next Saturday! Of course there will be a celebration you won’t want to miss. It sure is a busy month over here!

Delilah’s Birthday Wrap-Up

Delilah would like to thank everyone for all of the birthday wishes yesterday. Having all of her friends stop by and partake in the celebration means the world to her. She had a great day, and is obviously sleeping it off. 

WHERE is she sleeping it off? That is the question…. The answer? NOT in her new birthday bed! 

For Delilah’s birthday, we got her a big, cushy bed to put in front of the sliding-glass door that looks out onto the back yard. In front of that door is THE favorite spot of all the kitties. There are a couple of smaller beds that usually sit in front of that door, but Delilah doesn’t use them because Sophie and Caster have pretty much claimed them. We know how much Deli loves squishy soft things, so we thought a big comfy bed would be the purrfect gift for her – so she can watch the big screen TV in absolute comfort. Plus, it’s big enough so that Sampy could join her for some good cuddles too. 

Well, Delilah is a cautious kitty who has to analyze everything. And this bed is no different. She’s given it a through inspection, but I suppose it hasn’t passed her tests yet, as she hasn’t actually laid in it. No one has! That big, cushy bed is just sitting there in front of the door, all by itself and empty…  Oh well. She’ll lay it in eventually… hopefully. Maybe I need to put her favorite fleecy blanket in it…..

Blest Sunday

If you follow our furiend Deziz’s blog, Deziz World, then you now that every Sunday they do a Blest Sunday post. Well this Sunday, they have invited all of their furiends to participate too! What a great idea!

While we have many, many blessings, there is one in particular that we would like to focus on today – all of our blogging friends. Last Friday, Halloween, I had the pleasure of meeting several of our blogging friends “in the fur.” The BarkWorld/MeowWorld conference was going on in Atlanta last week, and though I didn’t get to attend the conference, I made the hour-and-a-half trek from my house to Atlanta on Friday to meet up with those that were attending the conference. 

First, I attended the Mad Kitty Cocktail Party hosted by Glogirly and Waffles. What a treat! There were so many friends there, not to mention the famous Waffles himself!

Yes, I got to pet him!

After the party, a big group of us went to dinner at Maggiano’s. I think there were sixteen of us? Many I “knew” already, but there were also some new faces/blogs. I have to say, that night goes down in the books as one of my favorite nights. Though I had never met any of these people “in real life” before, it felt like I had known them forever. It was like having dinner with a group of old friends. We swapped stories of our cats, we talked about grief and pet loss, we laughed lots, and we just got to know each other.

The friendship and camaraderie that is shared between all of us pet bloggers is something for which I am forever grateful. There is nothing like having friends that understand and share the same passion that I have for my pets, and all animals. So thank you — all of you.

I am counting down the days until BlogPaws 2015 in May — I look forward to seeing everyone again, and getting to meet those who were missing last week!!

    That selfie makes it look a little bit like there’s some big lion cat in you. New beds are always a bit of a mystery. They look comfy, but don’t smell familiar. I bet the blanket will make it more inviting.

    I don’t have any experience with this yet, but my human says that putting something familiar in a new cat bed helps make it feel more “homey.” She also said she had a great time meeting you and being part of the group dinner. The pet blogging family is… well, just that, a family!

    Nice selfie and beautiful whiskers ! We’re far far away from you, but Mum totally agrees with you : “The friendship and camaraderie that is shared between all of us pet bloggers is something for which I am forever grateful.”. But you’re very lucky : it’s so cool to be able to meet offline ! Purrs

    It’s been a busy Sunday we agree! Dezi’s Blessed Sunday on the TCC, and visiting our friends who are sick or having special days…..there’s plenty to do in Blogville! That bed looks like the one my parents got for me thinking I’d LOVE it. It’s now been three months and I haven’t slept in it yet – fleece blankets, heating pads, toys – nothing makes me pop into it!
    Hugs, Sammy

    We know how to get Delilah to use her new bed. Sprinkle some nip in it. She definitely inspected it well. Sassy is so lovely in her selfie. Mom says she looks lots like our angel sisfur, Steamer. We can’t believe we’ll have another birthday pawty to attend so soon. Mom says that we are blessed everyday, especially as we have furiends like all of you. Thank you so much for joining and supporting our blog hop. Have a great Easy Sunday. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
    Astrid is sending enough kisses to fill he entire world if it was hollowed out!

    Great selfie, Sassy! And we love Delilah’s new bed. Like others suggested, put some nip on it. She’ll love it!
    And the mom says it was a real pleasure meeting you. You’re right, it was like talking with old friends. She can’t wait to see you again in Nashville.

    That is wonderful that you were able to meet up with fellow bloggers. Our Mama loved meeting her blog friends at BlogPaws last year 🙂
    Maybe sprinkle a little catnip in Delilah’s gorgeous new bed 🙂
