Thankful Thursday and Awards for Me!

I had a very Thankful Thursday today.
My Lap Lady finally had some time to help me with my blog!
Whew - I can post about my awards that I received!

~~~~~

My Lap Lady has been kind of busy for the past week
because her parents drove all the way here from California
for her birthday last Monday.
I have been trying to finish her birthday card
so I can post it too!

But for now, here are my Awards:

I received Three Awards a few weeks ago. I received the Thinking Blogger Award from both Chey at Chey's Place and Mickey at Mickey's Musings. Thank you so much - both of your blogs make me think also!
~~~~~

The participation rules are simple:

1. If, and only if, you get tagged, write a post with links to 5 blogs that make you think,

2. Link to this post so that people can easily find the exact origin of the meme,

3. Optional: Proudly display the ‘Thinking Blogger Award’ with a link to the post that you wrote (here is an alternative silver version if gold doesn’t fit your blog).

I would like to start out by passing this award on to:

Luxor, Ninna & Silky

Magoo, Bella, Smudge & Dolce

Then I was proud to receive the "You Make My Day Award" from Charlie at Charlie's Dog Blog. Charlie is a wonderful dog who lives in Sydney. He wasn't feeling well for some time this month but yesterday he said he was feeling better! Hooray for Charlie!

This one is the "You Make My Day Award" which is presented to bloggers whose blog brings you happiness and inspiration and makes you feel happy about Blogland. The rules are to pass the award along to up to 10 people. I should like to pass this award on to: Skeeter, LC and Ayla and Eric and Flynn.

Plus, I received the Bloggers of the World from Tyler at Tyler's Tattles. Thanks so much! We became friends during the Secret Paws gift exchange - his sister Cookie was the one I sent presents to for Secret Paws!

This award was created by Colin and the rule for this award is that you link back to Colin as the point of origin of the award. He said "An Award for you All. Please take this award with my gratitude, feel free to pass it on to other Global Bloggers."

So, without further ado, I would like to pass this award on to all of the cats over at Forty Paws - they are quite a fascinating group and I love seeing what they are up to on any given day!
