10 YEARS! Can you believe it? We’ve been blogging for 10 whole years! Who woulda ever thought we’d be still blogging after all this time?
Now here we are…over 2300 posts and 103,000 comments later…we’re still at it! We sure enjoy sharing our stories and pictures with all of you…and being part of such a wonderful, animal-loving community. And we have some new things planned for the future.
We’ve made so many friends, both two and four-legged. Sadly, some friends are gone now…but we’ve made many new friends, too.
As in previous years, we’re continuing the tradition of our BLOGOVERSARY COMMENTATHON! For every comment made on this blog post through Sunday, December 31, we’ll donate 50 cents to an animal shelter, rescue group, animal charity or other worthy animal cause. And once again, YOU will help us decide who should get that donation. When you leave a comment, tell us which shelter, group, charity or worthy cause you want us to donate to. We’ll randomly select one from all your suggestions. If a shelter or group is mentioned more than once, it will be entered as many times as it’s mentioned.
So c’mon! Help us celebrate this special occasion and leave a comment! Don’t forget to let us know who should get the donation, too. We’ll announce the results on New Year’s Day.
We wanna thank all of you for visiting us and letting us entertain you these past 10 years. We hope we have put a smile on your face or even made you laugh out loud. But most of all we wanna thank you for your friendship. We ♥ you all!

Wow, 10 years. Happy milestone blogaversary!
If you select us, our suggestion is to donate to Colony Cats rescue in Ohio, who originally rescued Cupcake.
10 whole years! What a remarkable milestone. I wish I found you sooner. Happy Blogoversary to Ernie, Wally, Zoey and their Mom! We also select Colony Cats (& Dogs) in Ohio for the donation, as that is where Izzy was originally rescued. To make this day just a smidge more special, I’ll match the total donation amount to the charity that gets selected. I’ll just need the Mom to let me know he details at the end.
How fantastic! Happy, Happy Blogoversary, Island Cats! I nominate All About Animals Rescue in Metro Detroit, a low-cost spay and neuter clinic that promotes no more homeless pets.
WOW! Happy 10th Blogoversary you guys! We have so enjoyed each and every post! We would like to nominate The Buddy Foundation in Arlington Heights, IL, the shelter both of us were adopted from.
