  1. Happy new Year friends. What a beautiful message you wrote, and I echo your sentiments. We are indeed blessed to know you and all our other friends in the blogosphere/twitter communities. We will display your badge in my bloggy with honor.

  2. A beautiful, wonderful post, Ann.

    The CB has been an amazing community for me/us as well, particularly because the humans here understand how much our fur companions mean, that they're not just "pets." Most of the people around me, even if they have pets, don't quite "get it."

    I don't know what 2012 will bring for us all, but I hope and pray it does bring more laughter, joy, love and Light than tears and sadness.

    Universal Peace and Blessings to you all, Ann.

    -Kim and the boys

We also thank the rest of the blogging community for being our friends through good times and bad times. The support, purrs and prayers we get through bad times helps more than words could ever say.

  10. I was very happy this morning to find this beautiful award. The kitties just finished a week in the bedroom as the grandkids were visiting and the Christmas tree that our Simba loves to eat was up in the living room. It has been a fun time for our family. After they left, we thought of how time has gone so quickly, kids grown and now have their own kids. Several kitties and a few pups, have blessed our home, come and gone. I am also thankful for our internet friends, especially the pet lovers. Have a wonderful Happy New Year. Happy Mew Year from Kali, Mazi & Simba

  20. Thank you for the Shining Star award and for your continued friendship. We treasure all of the amazing people and furries we have met through the CB...something mom couldn't imagine when she started my blog.

    Sometimes mom feels like she has a whole bunch of pen pals because through the CB she has "met" friends from around the world...and hopes one day she can meet them all in person.

    xoxo and purrs,

    Cory

  23. Thank you! I was never dedicated to a pen pal although I thought it would be fun. Now our pen pals and autograph books ( I still have mine and my mothers)are all computerized and sent instantly to many friends.

    Thank you for being or friend through the good times and the bad! I am not a verbose person and have trouble being creative in my blog and responses but I do try to at least say hello!

  28. This was such a lovely, inspiring post. I've only recently begun to make some friends in the cat/dog blogosphere, but I can say that those I do know are wonderful like-minded souls who cherish their pets. Like you, I may not even know their "real" name, but I know what's in their heart ... great love for their pet.

  29. this has touched me so much I feel like I am going to try. The correlations that you made to pen pals, etc is spot on. How lucky we all are to have each other. I am blessed to know EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU!!

    I am putting the award on the side of my blog now!

    THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO!!!
