For the past few years, I have been the lucky recipient of the GORGEOUS Chinese New Year cards that talented artist, and fellow blogger, Maggie Swanson (visit her Shelter Cats blog here) creates every year. I dropped the ball (or so I thought), because the Chinese New Year began February 1st, 2022....then I found out that the Chinese New Year lasts SIXTEEN DAYS!!! Yay! I'm not late!

Please enjoy the beautiful card that Maggie made for the Year of The Tiger!!

GO OUT AND ROAR!!!

Help Free Tony the Tiger #TinyTigers4Tony

I was contacted recently by the Animal Legal Defense Fund (ALDF) asking if I would help share information about a Siberian-Bengal Tiger named Tony.  Tony is cruelly being held in a cage at a gas station parking lot in Louisiana, surrounded by diesel fumes and the roar of the adjacent highway. Tony has lived there for MORE THAN A DECADE! This is wrong kitties, JUST WRONG!

 The Animal Legal Defense Fund has been fighting for Tony for seven years, and  are waiting for a court decision that could finally grant Tony his freedom to be relocated to a reputable sanctuary, where he can live out the rest of his life getting the veterinary care and environment he deserves.

WANT TO HELP TONY?

To participate, simply print out the “Free Tony” sign, snap a photo of your tiny tiger with the sign, and post it on social media with the hashtag #TinyTigers4Tony.

Unfortunately, Cody wasn't in the mood to cooperate, and when I printed my sign the ink came out too light, so, I just inserted it in another photo. I am sure you can do a better job than I did!

All felines, whether they are large or small deserve protection from abuse, so be sure to help!

Book Feature: Tiger In My Soup, Written by Kashmira Sheth, Illustrated by Jeffrey Ebbeler

A sister and brother battle it out in this story of imagination, reading and tigers!!

When a boy is left in the care of his older sister, he begs her to read to him his favorite book about tigers, but she's too absorbed in her own reading to pay him any attention. She won't be distracted, even when the boy finds a ravenous tiger hiding in his soup!

His sister misses all the action, only after the steamy beast is slain does she return to the table with her brother and finally agree to read to him. But is the tiger really gone?

Jeffrey Ebbeler's bright and exciting illustrations bring the action to life while Kashmira Sheth's fun and entertaining story reinforces a strong love of books and reading.

Kashmira Sheth is the author of many acclaimed picture books and novels, including Monsoon Afternoon and My Dadima Wears a Sari. She teaches creative writing at Pine Manor College. Born in India, Sheth lives in Wisconsin and can be found online at www.kashmirasheth.typepad.com
