Tuesday's Tails

Hi buddies!

For today's Tuesday's Tails, we'd like to introduce you to Snickers!

      Snickers is currently at the Associated Humane Society in Newark, NJ. From what the shelter says about her, she sounds like a very sweet soul!

      From her PetFinder page:
      "SINCE SNICKERS WENT HIKING THIS WEEKEND, WE DECIDED TO POST SOME OF HER BEAUTIFUL PHOTOS...THIS DOG IS AMAZING AND NEEDS A HOME!!"

     "SNICKERS IS BEAUTIFUL DOG. ALTHOUGH HER CARD SAYS PIT I REALLY SEE GREAT DANE IN HER. AND SHE HAS A GREAT DANE PERSONALITY.. SHE LOOKS LIKE SHE HAD SOME PUPPIES AND THEN THEY MUST HAVE DUMPED HER, BUT SHE MUST HAVE BEEN A WONDERFUL MOMMIE TO HER PUPPIES, SHE SHARES A KENNEL WITH ANOTHER DOG. SHE WAS GENTLE TAKING TREATS FROM OUR HAND TO EATING HER FOOD."

     We have to agree, Snickers is stunning! She is up to date with her shoots and will be altered and micro-chipped upon adoption. For more information, call the Newark Animal Care Center at 973-824-7080. You can also email the shelter from a link on Snicker's PetFinder page.

The Tuesday's Tails Blog hop features shelter pets, all waiting for their forever homes. Please consider featuring a cat, dog or any pet at your local shelter on your blog and join the hop! Sharing these friends will certainly improve their chances of being adopted!

Thanks Dogs 'N Pawz for hosting the hop, in doing so, honoring Princess Phe! 

Thanks fur stopping by!

Almost Wordless Wednesday!

Hi buddies!

     Last Sunday we went to the Church of the Ascension in NYC fur the Blessing of the animals! It's a beautiful church with a lovely garden. Since it was a little misty, the service was held inside. Mom took a few pictures, but none of them came out very well.

*sigh*

 So just for fun, she added some filters to them in PhotoShop. Here's our favorite from the day!

Before... focus mother!

And after, with some crosshatching!

Well, mom needs to work on her camera skills pals, hopefully we'll see improvements soon.

Thanks fur stopping by!

Tuesday's Tails, A Day Late!

Hi Buddies!

    Life here at Chez Prudence has been crazier than normal, and this time it's not MY fault! That's right pals!
  We're a day late with our Tuesday's Tails. But after you've met our adoptable kitties MaiTai and Julep, please read on *shaking coonhound head*.

The Tuesday's Tails Blog hop features shelter pets, all waiting for their forever homes. Please consider featuring a cat, dog or any pet at your local shelter on your blog and join the hop! Sharing these friends will certainly improve their chances of being adopted!

Thanks Dogs 'N Pawz for hosting the hop, in doing so, honoring Princess Phe!

This week we'd like to introduce you to MaiTai and Julip!

      These cuties arrived at the shelter at about 2 months old. Because they didn't have any human contact before then, they were very frightened of people. They went into foster care and received a lot of attention so now they're less afraid, but still cautious.
     From their Petfinder page: Mai Tai and Julep are "TOTALLY devoted to each other; they cuddle together constantly and they especially enjoy lounging in the hammock in their kitty crate. While it might be a lot to ask of a prospective adopter, these girls MUST be adopted together. And they need to be adopted by someone with a great deal of patience and prior experience with shy cats. If someone had a home office or a workshop where these two cats could cohabit without having a lot of interaction expected of them at first, that would be ideal.
    "Julep, the more trusting of the two, is a lovely soft gray tabby. Her sister MaiTai is what we call a Tabico - a tabby with orange running through her coat."

   They're both spayed and up to date with their shots. For more information on MaiTai and Julep, email Friends of Linden's Animals at folasinfo@gmail.com or visit the Friends Of Linden Animals website.
 

Now for what's happening at my house!

    Yesterday morning I was greeted by three kittens at my side door as I was about to go out! These guys wanted to get into my house and they weren't afraid of me at all! Mom got me back inside so she could see who these "visitors" were....
     Well, she found a cardboard box at the gate to our yard with a plastic container of food. Looks like someone decided we needed even more kitties! Barooooo! I'm out numbered already here!

    Mom gathered them up and put them all into one of pet carriers and gave them some water. She posted to FaceBook and sent tweets. She contacted a few rescues and messaged others on FaceBook. We haven't been able to place them yet, but thankfully got lots of great information. Our twitter friends did a lot of retweeting fur us also. So mom's going to be busy reaching out to rescues in our area. The few that she heard  back from are full, so please keep your paws crossed!

Thanks fur stopping by pals!

Wordless Wednesday, Score!

Well buddies!

 One of mom's fears has been realized. I've finally solved the puzzle of opening our refrigerator! 

(You would think that mom would be pleased that I could just help myself to noms now.... 

Not so much!)

Thanks fur stopping by!

Thankful Weekend!

Wow buddies! Last week, Dogs 'n Pawz, the sponsors of the weekly Tuesday's Tails Blog Hop presented us with the Versatile Blogger Award! We are so very honored to receive this!

       As a recipient of the Award, we're asked to share seven things about ourselves, so here goes everything (just about) that you could know about us!

• Mom often thinks she should have nicknamed me "Velcro" 'cause I usually stick close by her. Even when I'm taking a nap, I like to keep a paw (or my face) on her!
• We both love going for car rides, to the doggy daycare, the dog park or any place that's fun. But I know right away if we're headed towards the *VET*. Mom doesn't know how I do it, even when she takes a different route.
• We're hoping to have a few backyard chickens by next Spring if mom gets her way (& she usually does, BOL)!
• I LOVE my after dinner treat. I've been known to try to skip dinner, just to get to the treat. Now mom knows to check my dish.
• I love to give "kisses and nips". Ever since I was a puppy, that's how I like to greet my human pals. It's just a quick lick on your nose followed by a little nibble!
• When I'm running in my dreams, only my back legs move. Mom says that I'm "River Dancing" in my sleep!
• I'm finally getting used to my kitty fur sibs, Wren & Sparrow…. Although Sparrow still freaks me out sometimes with her Ninja ways!

 Now, we need to nominate 15 other bloggers for the Versatile Blogger Award. With so many terrific blogs out there, this is the hard part! So we'd like to nominate all of our readers for this Award! We do love reading all the blog posts and really appreciate that you stop by to read ours too!

Thanks buddies!

And thank you to Two Little Cavaliers, Nip & Bones, and Life With Dogs for hosting the Pet Bloggers Blog Hop

Tuesday's Tails!

Hi buddies!
     For this week's Tuesday's Tails, we'd like you to meet a few older kitties, that would just love to spend the rest of their lives in a loving home.

Here's Calypso!

       Just look at that face! According to Friends of Linden Animals "Calypso is a beautiful tortie girl with lots of cattitude. She is lovable and totally enjoys being petted but does not like to be held or handled for long periods of time. Calypso prefers to do things her way and on her terms (a typical tortie trait). For this reason she would not be a good choice for a family with small children. She likes to play and enjoys napping in her hammock afterwards."




Next we have Stella!

    Stella is a real beauty, with copper colored eyes! She's very feisty (look at that face!) and gets along well with other cats but she wouldn't be good for a family with children.

Now, meet Tracey!    

    We couldn't leave out Tracey, a sweet black kitty with beautiful eyes! Mom says she looks a lot like our Sparrow!
  They've all been spayed and are up to date on their routine shots. These kitties and many more,  can be seen at the shelter during daily adoption hours. If you are interested in adopting any of them, or for more information, please visit the Friends of Linden Animal Shelter's site to fill out the online application or contact the Friends of Linden Animal Shelter at folasinfo@gmail.com

Thanks to Dogs 'n Pawz fur sponsoring the Tuesday's Tails Blog Hop and thank you fur stopping by!

Wordless Wednesday Surprise!

(BOL! Sparrow was surprised when I almost lay on top of her!)

Wordless Wednesday Sighs!

*sigh*

Mom's starting to pack fur BlogPaws and I don't think that I can fit into her suitcase!

Local Rescue Group!

        We're happy to be a part of the Tuesdays Tails Blog Hop! Every week, we'll be posting about a pet in a local shelter or rescue that's waiting for a furever home.

     Normally we like to write about Eleventh Hour Rescue, where mom found me. But while doing a little research for our post, we found a new rescue group that's just getting started here, a little closer to home that could use some publicity. So we thought that it would be good to give New Hope Pet Rescue a little buzz.
    Since we have so many kitties in our area needing homes, we're going to feature an adoptable cat this week!

      Meet Katie, a cute Torbie mix, from the streets of New York City! She's very affectionate and would love a family to call her own. Katie is spayed and up to date on her shots.

 (photos from New Hope Pet Rescue)

    Here's the link to Katie's Petfinder page to learn more about her and perhaps file an application for adoption.  If you're unable to adopt or foster Katie, please consider a donation to New Hope Pet Rescue to help them continue to do the great work that they do. They are an all volunteer group, so all donations go to the care of the animals.

Thanks fur stopping by buddies!

Mischevious Monday (& Everyday)!

    Hi buddies! What a weekend we had at Chez Prudence! I've got mom thinking I'm going through my second pupppyhood, BOL!
    I've been trying so hard not to help the kitties finish their food, really! So of course I needed to focus my skills at other things.... So I chewed the remote.... Again.
   But the highlight of our weekend was when I helped myself to the pork in the crock pot. I've never heard a shriek like that from mom before! She stepped out to the store, leaving me sleeping on the couch. Silly lady, she knows that I'm a scent hound! What was she thinking?

    She came home to the crock pot on the floor, with the insert broken. Oh, did I mention the pork? It was delicious (what I had of it)! Of course she was concerned that I might have been burnt or scalded by the contents, but I was pretty careful. It was pretty sad watching her throw it out. I offered to help with the clean up, but for some reason, she didn't think that was such a great idea *sigh*.
   So no more slow cooking here fur a while, at least not while I'm home alone!

Thanks fur stopping by!

And thank you Snoopy, for hosting the Monday Mischief Pet Blog Hop!

Wordless Wednesday!

Thankful Thursday!

      We really do love participating the Pet Blog Hops, there are always new friends to make via the hops. Thankful Thursday is one of mom's favorites, since (as she keeps reminding me) we have so much to be thankful fur!

     Mom just read that Cokie the Cat has turned over the duties of hosting the Thankful Thursday hop to our pal Pepi Smart Dog due to Cokie's busy Hollywood schedule. So this week, we are very grateful to Cokie for hosting the Thankful Thursday Blog Hop for so long!

And a big thank you to Pepi for continuing the tradition!

Thank you everyone fur stopping by, baroooo buddies!
