Let’s hear it for all the finalists in the Blogpaws contests!!! And I have, I hope, made friends with a little Therapy Rat. Can you believe it. He is so, so cute, this Oliver, from Healing Whiskers! And the reality is that as a kitty, I really have to be open to OTHERS (read: rats, dogs, falcons, all of those supposed enemies of US) and I just loved the name. I mean, we kitties are healing whiskers ourselves, no? Just look at Dezi and Raena Belle and all those other amazing kitties who offer the biggest reason to get up in the morning, right?
Not to mention the intellectually superior animals such as The Great Swampi, Ernie, Wally, and please forgive me if I do not mention every wonderful kitty who has left me messages but I WILL do that over the next blogs if I can just get my act together.
For some reason, like the old song (that I don’t know but mama does, ancient as she is), spring can really hang you up the most!
You’re supposed to be listless (see photo), have no appetite (oh, yeah, right!), and you brain seems to take off on its own to nether lands and nether thoughts and one’s sleep habits are sorely disturbed.
One also tends to stare off into space without purpose.
I don’t know about this spring stuff, but if you have any suggestions as to how to get sane again, pass them on.
I’m listening. I think…
“Thank you so much for the shoutout! Rat kisses to you!” -Oliver
Oh, you little darling Oliver, I wish you could come visit. I’m great with rats. For some reason they don’t threaten me at all.
Wowee!!!! Therapy rat!!!! They are adorable – I need one for play therapy!! Gotta check out all these great websites. Mama used to have a pet white rat years ago and was really attached to it. Bringing back memories……..meanwhile, gonna play with my toy octopus friends brought from Barcelona. It’s arms make crackly noises – very amusing. Play therapy.
Hey, bring it over, Mya, and we’ll give that 8-legged creature what for!
There sure is a bunch of good critters as finalists and I’m thrilled to know so many of them. Hey, I hear sane happens when you least expect it! Thanks for joining the Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
Love the blog hops if only I could figure out how to upload something of mine that is less than 2mb!!! Mine all seem to be more in Adobe Essentials 13.
I wish I had suggestions for getting sane 🙂
You and I, both, Ellen. When you get them, send them this way.
Loulou, if anyone tells you the secret, will you please pass it on. Mom says she has been sleeping terribly, and her brain feels all muddled when she wakes up. Looks as if you are trying to yell your mom awake in that fist photo. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Angel Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth, Calista Jo and Cooper Murphy
So we are in the ‘muddle’ stage, eh? Sounds like mama. Maybe she just dreams too deeply. Probably my fault since she probably dreams of ME.
LouLou, Oliver the Therapy Rat is amazing ! I know there are therapy dogs and cats, but any animal can provide help and solace to people in time of need ! One thing that changed the rules at emergency shelters in the US was the people who refused to evacuate from Hurricane Katrina because their animals were not allowed in the shelters. “companion animals” are finally being credited with all the good they do us anthros !
LET’S CHEER FOR THE THERAPY ANIMALS. I don’t have a label but I think I may be good therapy for both these nutty anthros I live with.
Yes, spring does do things to the brain. Don’t let it affect yours.
Oh, my little pea brain is already settled in for a nice snoozy spring. Didn’t take much. An thank you for pointing out the mistakes in my links!!! Oh, boy, must have been asleep at the wheel when I wrote that one!
