Happy and Merry Chrismukkah!!!

 For the first time in decades, Chanukah begins on the same night as Christmas! Hence, "Chrismukkah"

"Hanukkah and Christmas fall on the same date this year. This year marks the fifth time over the last 114 years Hanukkah has started on the same day as Christmas. It won't happen again until 2035. Sometimes called Christmukkah, Dec. 25 marks the day when the first day of Hanukkah falls on the same day as Christmas."

I happen to LOVE when this takes place, I think it's extra magical and special!

So, whatever you celebrate, we hope it's a good one!! Please enjoy the holiday card that we had our dear furiend, Ann, from the Zoolatry blog create for us! 

And....I also wanted to share a few photos that Canine College took of Levi while he was boarding. The last photo cracks me up because he was sooooooo "over" it by then!

Stay safe, stay warm, be blessed!!

Love from,

Caren, Lenny, Roary and Levi

 Hi and Merry Christmas to all who celebrate dear friends!!! 

We were wondering what we were going to post this year and then, while checking email, we noticed we received a BEAUTIFUL graphic from our dear furiends Dad Pete and kitties over at the Timmy Tomcat Blog

Isn't that just too cute!!!??? Thank you Dad Pete and family!!!!!!!

It made us think of one of Mom's favorite Christmas songs that is from the Charlie Brown Christmas special: "Christmas Time Is Here"

Here are the lyrics:

Christmas time is here
Happiness and cheer
Fun for all that children call
Their favorite time of the year

Snowflakes in the air
Carols everywhere
Olden times and ancient rhymes
Of love and dreams to share

Sleigh bells in the air
Beauty everywhere
Yuletide by the fireside
And joyful memories there

Christmas time is here
We'll be drawing near
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year

Sleigh bells in the air
Beauty everywhere
Yuletide by the fireside
And joyful memories there

Christmas time is here
We'll be drawing near
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year

Did you know that today is Humbug Day?

 Well, I didn't either!

Never heard of it until I received my email from Days of the Year

There IS a Humbug Day and it is today!! When I learned that today is Humbug Day I thought of a former photo I have of Cody and his "grumpy" face, I just had to use it again:

Cody had a "Grumpy" face before there ever was a Grumpy Cat! I miss my precious boy and his gorgeous green eyes and adorable face sooooooooo much!

But on to Humbug Day:

From Days of the Year:

"For many people, Christmas can be an incredibly stressful time of year. Coping with the pressures of shopping for gifts and planning events and parties whilst embracing the holiday spirit can be a lot to ask! 

Humbug Day encourages a controlled venting of all that stress before Christmas so that you can enjoy the festive season to the fullest."

I am thinking that this year it will be a tad different because major events and parties will be nonexistent, but regardless, there is always stress this time of year to get everything done!

I am doubting people will be in Humbug mode though because we all sure can use a little Christmas spirit right now, am I right or what?

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, from US to YOU

And...most of you have probably already seen this, but we are happy to present the 4th Annual Cat Bloggers Holiday Slide Show that was organized and put together by Carol, the Mom of Peaches and Paprika

Grab some catnip tea and some treats and enjoy!!!!!

Holiday Card PSA

Cody and I would like to thank everyone who has sent us cards via email and snail mail! Oh my we are loving them! I am working hard to get my cards mailed out to those who mailed cards to us (one batch went out Monday, one batch went out today!...hey, as long as they get there by the New Year it's all good!) 

We are going to be posting the cards we received via email and snail mail on the blog, hopefully somewhere around the 22nd, 23rd or 24th...not sure what date yet, but we WILL post them!

To our international friends,  I dropped the ball big time and do not have international stamps...so, for you and for anyone who would like them, I am posting a card that Ann Adamus from Zoolatry made for us in 2014 (many of you have received a different card from us via email already, but since Chanukah is over I wanted to post a card that was more "Christmasy." if you would like to have it)

Thanks so much for the wonderful greetings we have received already, you ALL make us smile!
Love,
Caren and Cody 

THANK YOU for my "SNAIL MAIL" Cards!! Chanukah and Christmas

Hi all! It's Cody! If you celebrate Christmas, I hope you had a great one! If you celebrate Chanukah, you are STILL celebrating!

I would like to thank EVERY FURRY who sent me a holiday card via snail mail!! Mom and I feel bad because this year we couldn't send them to everyone, so we just sent them to those that we received cards from. Hopefully next year, we can send to everyone and participate in the gift exchange too!

Your adorable and beautiful cards mean the world to us!! We are posting them here, sorry that this didn't come out great.

Dakota  and I were practically tied in the number of cards we received via snail mail...both of us got around 30!! Mom and Dad? We won't talk about them BOL!

Thank you so much dear furiends!!

We love our cards!

Love, Cody and Caren

"We Wish YOU a MERRY CHRISTMAS!" with love and gratitude!!

Merry, Merry Christmas!!! When putting together this post, we couldn't decide if we wanted to do a collage or just list each card individually, (we posted cards from cats, homes that have cats and dogs, a bird and a rabbit, families that ONLY have dogs are over on Dakota's blog today!!!!). This post is showing JUST THE EMAIL CARDS THAT WE RECEIVED, (we are hoping to post the snail mail cards tomorrow If we missed yours, please, please, let us know....we will post it Monday, or at a later date. We think we got everyone we received an e-card  from).........

As you can see we opted to post each card individually. If I did a collage many would be cut and you all put so much care and love into your cards that they ALL deserve to be seen! Each and EVERY ONE IS ADORABLE!!!!!

AND OF COURSE....IF ANYONE DIDN'T GET OURS.....HERE IT IS!!!

Cody and I are deeply touched.......while putting this post together it showed us just how BLESSED and LUCKY WE ARE that you ARE OUR FRIENDS, that you  visit us when you can, and that you thought of us during the holidays! THANK YOU!

The pet blogging world is full of some of the kindest people on the planet, and we are so proud to be among so many marvelous people (and pets!!). Even if we may disagree with each other and have moments of crankiness (wait, what???!!), when it comes to our pets, (their joys, their woes, good health, bad health, what to feed, when to feed,  comforting those in pain, praying for ill pets to get well and crying when we lose one of our own to the Rainbow Bridge...), we rally together for the love of our pets.

You sure can't beat that.....

Now...because Mom just LOVES Jimmy Fallon, enjoy and...kitties, watch carefully, there are mousies in this video!! Enjoy!



Have a blessed and Merry Christmas dear friends,
We LOVE YOU, WE THANK YOU, AND WE CARE ABOUT YOU!

THANK YOU for caring about US!
Love,
Caren and Cody
