BlogPaws Wordless Wednesday Pet Blogger Hop: Holidays And Your Pets!

Our friends at BlogPaws have dedicated this Wordless Wednesday Hop to our furry family members and how they enrich our holiday experiences, both past and present.

Meanwhile, back at the Ohio ranch...I thought I'd be magnanimous and share this photo (on my blog), of a young Parental Unit with her very first (and still beloved) dog, Benjie.

Now let's head over to the BlogPaws Wordless Wednesday Pet Blogger Hop and see what our blogging friends are sharing today!

BlogPaws Wordless Wednesday Pet Blogger Hop!

Today's BlogPaws Hop is dedicated to those pets we have loved and lost. Aren't we all grateful to them for the love and devotion they showed us?

Here's a photo of my predecessor, Carson, the cutie pie (and ornery) Wire Fox that Parental Unit had the pleasure of sharing her home with for 16 years. And in case you missed it, here's the tribute she wrote to "The Great Carsoni"on this very blog!

Meanwhile, we still think there's a bit of time left to visit our blogging friends at today's BlogPaws Wordless Wednesday Pet Blogger Hop!

Our good friends over at BlogPaws and Bocci's Beefs are celebrating you and your pets today in gratitude for all you do to help animals in need. Speaking for Parental Unit (as I often do), we both are truly grateful for your generosity and support for all companion animals.

Thank you!

BlogPaws Wordless Wednesday Pet Blogger Hop!

The beautiful month of November is certainly a grand month for celebrations, but let's not forget it's also Adopt A Senior Pet Month, thanks to Petfinder.com. And extra kudos go to the BlogPaws team for sharing and celebrating this month!

Meanwhile, back at the Ohio ranch...

It's been nearly 80 warm degrees the last few days, and parental Unit and I have been enjoying the last of the warm weather. In full disclosure: this is a photo from last year, but rest assured, we're taking off for the woods as often as possible!

Now on to the BlogPaws Wordless Wednesday Pet Blogger Hop to visit our blogging friends!

For example, October 29, 2016 is #NationalCatDay...how will you spin this day to help your fellow felines? Take your kitty to the vet for an annual check-up? Volunteer at a cat shelter? Let us know!

Meanwhile, back at the Ohio ranch...

BlogPaws Wordless Wednesday Pet Blogger Hop: Black Cat Appreciation Day!

The good folks at BlogPaws are calling our attention to National Black Cat Appreciation Day which is...today! There's even a nifty infographic that lists the top reasons why black cats rock—and we know one big reason is that if you wear a lot of black clothes like Parental Unit, their fur doesn't show.

Unfortunately, there are still superstitions surrounding black cats that you can help debunk, today and every day. We're sure you'll receive many "meows" of thanks!

Meanwhile, back at the Ohio ranch...

Bella and I are a bit more worried about this black-masked fella paying a return visit than any black kitty!

Now let's head over to the BlogPaws Wordless Wednesday Pet Blogger Hop and see what black cat myths have been debunked!

Meanwhile, back at the hot Ohio ranch...

Did I mention it's sweltering here?
