Trying to Catch Up

I'm behind, I know, in both visiting and posting. Rough week.
I was trying to put up Christmas stuff on my blog but I'm getting errors and issues and the only thing I could change was the header and even then it said THAT was an error and it wouldn't be done.. But I'm seeing my new header by Ann of Zoolarty, are you?

She also made me a card/sidebar graphic for Christmas and I love it too!


If you are someone who collects and displays these cards, please feel free to use ours as we DO wish you all a Merry Christmas!
Here's the sidebar size:



We have received many awards recently and have not done anything about them. I appreciate all of them and I'm sorry I haven't been in a place to celebrate them yet. I know you all understand and we're trying to get some normalcy here, but somedays it's not easy.

Back in October Life With Ragdolls gave us the Sunshine award. Thank you so much!

I am sorry I've misplaced the questions I was supposed to answer, but I will share the 11 facts requested.

1. Star begs for belly rubs.
2. Leo hates belly rubs.
3. Star has the softest fur ever, almost Persian-like with no course and stiff guard hairs.
4. Leo has the longest fur on his tail, it's got to be over five inches, while his body fur is more like two inches.
5. Leo is a birder type kitty and prefers toys that go in the air.
6. Star is a mouser type kitty and prefers toys that move along the floor.
7. Star gets very demanding about being pet, but the minute you start to pet her, she walks away only to come back when you stop reaching.
8. If I don't move my laptop out of the way fast enough when Leo wants a snuggle he will sulk and refuse all attempts at delayed pets.
9. Since my father passed Sir Moose-a-lot has decided that other people besides my dad are good for a cuddle and even laid half on me for a while, something he's never done willingly before. I know he misses my dad, but I'm glad he's getting love and snuggles. He really was a daddy's boy.
10. I read a lot more than I comment because my acute shyness/social anxiety issues keep me from knowing what to say. So please know that even if you don't see me comment, I'm reading your blogs.
11. I love how kindness and caring are a huge part of the blogosphere and that so many of you reach out and support me and each other. This is a seriously loving community and I appreciate every one of you.



It's Noodle! gave us the Versitle Blogger award. Thank you so much!
We have received this award a long time ago, but this is a new graphic so we'll display it too! (once we figure out our blogger display issues..)

I'm supposed to give tell seven things for this one. I'm going to let seven of the ones from above stand in for this.



Leo received the Friends and Followers award from Katie Isabella. Of course this makes him blush because he thinks she's the bees knees! Thank you Katie!



There is one more graphic I want to share because I do very much support our troops:


I think I'm all caught up now... I hope you all forgive how long it's taken us!


As always, please please head over to Daily Dose and see what you can do to help the Winnie's Wishers find homes! They are so full over there, we really need a Christmas/Chanukah/New Year/Holiday miracle!

I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one that reads but doesn't comment. It's so hard to put myself out there and it seems like I always make a stupid spelling/grammar error that I notice after I hit publish. I hate for anyone to think I don't know the difference between NO and KNOW or any of the other writing traps. I like when there's a LIKE button so I can let the blogger know I enjoyed their work and I can remain in the shadows....just another lurker.
Your new header is beautiful. Have a wonderful Holiday Season.

It's all good; the card, the header, the awards and the catching up! LP has quite a few awards that she hasn't even acknowledged and now they are lost somewhere in the in box chaos! It's hard to keep up but we all do our best... so no worries! :)

Gigi said...

Yes, we see your Merry Christmas header & it's grand ;-)

My Human has been okay about helping me post but TERRIBLE about helping me visit and comment. I say she should retire from her j-o-b so she can spend more time on my blog, ha ha meow. But she says it's also good to pay the rent and the grocery bills, so we are kind of at a standoff!

You are sooooooo super-articulate we can't believe you don't know what to say! I guess Star helps? XOXOXO

Kjelle Bus aka Charlie Rascal said...

LOVE both your Christmas header and Christmascard !
ConCATulations to all the awards :)
Me too read moore blogs than I comment on.
XOXO

Gigi said...

Hello Star darling. It is nice reading all these things about you, but it especially warmed our hearts that Sir Moose-a-lot is learning to be a lovey almost-lap-cat with some new Humans. I bet sharing the love is good for efurryone. XOXOXOXO

John Bellen said...

Aargh, stupid computers! If any other invention had been so unreliable so frequently, it would have been ditched by mankind. Congratulations on the awards, and I'm glad to be reading you again.

Katie Isabella said...

Love the header and absolutely the Christmas Card. And you all.
