This is the end of Blogathon 2009. It went surprisingly well; I achieved all the things I’ve been wanting to – making every other post about my charity, making good posts, making informative posts, and most importantly raising money for charity. It’s not hard, really…you can do other stuff during the blogathon. For example, I [...]

One Last Time (48/49)
For my final BFAS post, I’d just like to introduce you to a special kitty named Raed. He’s in the Guardian Angels program, and you can read his progress journal here. He’s originally from Beirut, Lebanon, and arrived with a large group of animals. Cats are pretty much universal, though, and Raed has the same [...]
Hanging in There (47/49)
I’m still making it. Really. It is super tempting to just pass out but there is only one more hour left. I let kitty go but she just came back. Nice, kitty. Yeah, she’s kind of dim. Now she’s letting herself into what we call the “kitty room” – it’s more a storage room, but [...]
NMHP Conference (46/49)
The No More Homeless Pets conference is the only conference worldwide devoted to grassroots animal welfare. At $325, it’s not an easy conference to afford, so your everyday joe can’t do it. But people who work for local shelters, who want to establish new no-kill shelters, etc. can go to the conference and learn about [...]
Stretch (45/49)
Staying awake by playing Bioshock some more. It’s quite effective. I’m still totally exhausted though. Haven’t finished the veggies but I ate everything else. Kitty wants to go though, so I think I’ll let her out. Wish I had more to say but I’m really tired and just trying to make it through this!
Kitten Adoption (44/49)
Check it out, there’s BFAS kittens for adoption today at a PetSmart in Las Vegas! The little fellow to the left is Anthony. Doesn’t he look so big and tough? One of the great things about BFAS adoption events is that not only are the kittens healthy, but they’re also spayed or neutered and microchipped. [...]
Tired (43/49)
You guys, I am so tired. Seriously. TV is crap. I’m exhausted. I have to sit back up because it is so easy to fall asleep. I am so committed to getting through this though. It’s a matter of pride. Mmm chocolate tofu is really good though. Kitty is still with me, she’s watching me [...]
Purrty Dozen (42/49)
The Purrty Dozen campaign is trying to find homes for 12 cats, and cat #7 just found a home! His name is Niles, and he was “just overlooked” for seven years. Many of the animals at Best Friends are there because they have special needs, but he was really perfectly fine…just needed a forever home! [...]
I’ve Got Company (41/49)
Yay, I’ve got company now! I’ve been alone almost all this time, certainly for the last 8 hours when my wife left for the other house. I’m so excited that YumYum came to the bedroom that I took a video of her. I don’t know if there’s sound on it or not, maybe there is. [...]
Why Animals (40/49)
As I’ve been browsing the other blogs through the surfing frame, I’ve been noticing most charities are for human beneficiaries. Several people are blogging for animals, but most are for people. So I feel like I should justify why I picked an animal charity. It’s because animals are part of our lives. Not just our [...]
