Today we are joining 2 Brown Dawgs & co-host Ruckus the Eskie for their This ‘N That Thursday’s blog hop!

This is what they have to say about the hop,

A little of this and a little of that and everything in between…

“This ‘N That Thursday is for anything you want! Maybe you want to post about unrelated topics, or each topic isn’t quite long enough to make up a whole post, or you have awards to share, or you have one long post…anything goes! So grab the button and join the hop!”

I am behind the eight ball on knowing what days are for what posts until I see another blogger post them up. I so need to get a blogging calendar so I can keep this stuff straight. So even know stuff isn’t happening on the day it was intended I will talk about it now.

Yesterday was National Feral Cat Day. Click on the link and see what events are going on for National Feral Cat Day. This day goes along with what is happening all month long in October which is:

I didn’t adopt a cat in October but I did adopt a feral cat in the end of May.

When MK was a feral cat out in the marsh.

MK this week after she was spayed. No more kitties for her. Helping out the pet population.

You can read about how MK came to live with us here.

Since it is Adopt A Pet Month it is time for Tuesday’s Tails.

This is the Blog Hop that features shelter animals. Find a cat, dog, rabbit, etc. at your local animal shelter or rescue and feature them on this Blog Hop! Come join the fun and help a furry friend find a forever home! And while you’re at it, don’t forget to visit the other blogs and share their doggies, cats, rabbits, and all the other animals that need forever homes on your social media sites. Please spread the word!

Riley

Shar Pei & Chesapeake Bay Retriever • Senior • Male • Medium

Kalamazoo Animal Rescue Kalamazoo, MI

ABOUT RILEY

The person who found Riley had to give him up to Animal Services because she already had three dogs. She recognized his wonderful temperament while he was in her home. As she stated … all he wants is love. Riley followed her around her house and she would have kept him herself if it had been possible. This dear boy is quite the love and would be a great addition to any family!
His foster parent is Dusty R. The adoption fee for Riley is $130.
Please complete our online application form if you are interested in adopting Riley. A volunteer will contact you as soon as possible.Click here to go to the online adoption formAll Kalamazoo Animal Rescue dogs & puppies are spayed or neutered prior to adoption. Dogs have been heartworm tested and if appropriate (age and time of year) all dogs and puppies are given heartworm preventative. All are given medication to rid them of roundworms and checked and treated for fleas & ear mites, if needed. Dogs and puppies are given distemper vaccines and depending on how long the pet has been in foster care, additional distemper vaccine(s) may be necessary and the expense will be incurred by the adopter. Any canine over 4 months of age is brought current on the Rabies vaccine. Additional vet care may have been provided depending on the particular animal’s needs. Dogs are individually priced as above.Please note that we do not ship dogs and we cannot guarantee that a long trip to see a foster dog will result in an adoption or taking the dog home on that day.It is in the best interest of pooch and owner to enroll in an obedience class soon after adoption. After all, you have a lot to learn about your new friend. The Kalamazoo Dog Training Club offers a discount to owners with newly adopted dogs. Enroll before any behavior problems start – you won’t regret it!

Go to the Kalamazoo Animal Rescue website to see the rest of our adoptable dogs & puppies.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month in helps to spread awareness and help raise money for the Susan G. Komen fund there is a pretty cool t-shirt you can purchase. Some of the proceeds will be donated to the Susan G. Komen fund. All you need to do is go to The Pink Whistle Society and order your Glory-ous shirt. If you missed the post on how my Glory got to be the cute chessie puppy for this years t-shirt you can read about it here.

Isn’t this a cool shirt. Who wouldn’t want to show Glory off?

I like to read but don’t have much time. I found time to read . It was a short story about Ku’s life as a puppy in an Alaskan Puppy Mill and how he got rescued and adopted by an amazing woman. I couldn’t put the book down once I started and I shed many tears at how this puppy has grown into a beautiful adult dog and has overcome so many fears. So appropriate for Adopt A Pet Month. You can read Ku’s Haiku blog here. I gave this book a 5 star rating on Amazon. By buying Ku’s book you will help support animal rescue. How cool is that?

So that wraps it up for today, why don’t you hop on over to 2 Brown Dawgs & co-host Ruckus the Eskie see what their up to and grab the badge and join the hopping fun!

Oh my dog! What a pawesome surprise! Thank yooowooowooooo for mentioning my book and giving it five paws! Wooooowooooooooooo! 😀

Sand Spring Chesapeakes October 17, 2013 at 7:12 pm

You are so welcome KU, I loved the book.

I don’t know if I’d have the nerve to adopt a feral cat, so good on you for doing that! Cats make me a little nervous, so I’d probably not be too good. Gotta say she looks pretty happy.

Sand Spring Chesapeakes October 17, 2013 at 7:13 pm

It has to be the right feral cat and I think because she was so young and hurt she just imprinted even better. She is super happy.

amywern October 17, 2013 at 12:08 pm

Going to look for that book now. Hoping its on Kindle… 🙂

Sand Spring Chesapeakes October 17, 2013 at 7:13 pm

It is!

jansfunnyfarm October 17, 2013 at 12:47 pm

How neat you adopted a feral cat a few months ago. We haven’t read Ku’s book but we’d like to.

Sand Spring Chesapeakes October 17, 2013 at 7:14 pm

thank you, and yes the book is great.

2browndawgs October 17, 2013 at 6:53 pm

Thanks so much for participating in TNT! MK sure lucked out when you found her in the marsh. (Even after her surgery this week, I bet she agrees!). I love the t-shirt of Glory for the pink whistle society! (BTW I didn’t say on your other post, but I thought the Team Giblet t-shirt you made for your host was really cute). Hope Riley finds a good home.

Sand Spring Chesapeakes October 17, 2013 at 7:15 pm

I love team giblet! I think MK is very happy where she is at. She even sleeps on the bed with us 6.

Ruckus the Eskie October 17, 2013 at 10:13 pm

Thanks for hopping on this Thursday to TNT! What a small tiny kitty cat! Happiness.

Love that shirt! And Ku’s book too…About the need for a blogging calendar…I’ve been feeling it myself…Just signed up for a local seminar next week on using e-calendars…I’m hoping I can put it to use for the blog

Dogs N Pawz October 19, 2013 at 8:56 am

Riley is a beautiful senior boy! Hope he finds a home real soon. I started doing a calendar at the first of this month. It has helped me even though I still don’t get everything accomplished that I need to! Have a great weekend!
