Back in Black 2 Comment-A-Thon is counting down!!!

So ... the Back in Black 2 Adoption Event sponsored by Best Friends Animal Society is coming to a close ... 

and so is Finn's COMMENT-A-THON!

As both the event and the comment-a-thon wind down, I'd just like to thank all of you who participated by commenting, and an even more special thank you to those who passed the word along on your own blogs, or on Facebook or Twitter.  Thanks to your help, we have already reached our goal of 100 comments (117 to date with three days to go).  So THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to ALL who participated in any fashion, but an especial thank you to SNOOPY, Jeanne, Chloe, and Ladybug , Cathy Keisha , Barb & The Daily Gs , Oui Oui and the Gang at Twinkletoe Tails , Dash , Carl, KC & The Giggleman Kitties , Everyone at The Cat Blogosphere , Marg's Pets , and Random Felines!  Finn can't thank you enough for putting the word out and helping him reach his goal! As a reward, he thought you might like to see some of my favorite pictures of him some of his favorite pictures of himself!

Also - if you haven't commented yet, there's still time - all comments entered by or before midnight (EST) on May 31st will be counted, and the randomly chosen winner will be announced on Friday, June 1st! 

On this Thursday we are Thankful for ...

P.S.  Don't forget to participate in Finn's Back in Black 2  Comment-A-Thon, in conjunction with Best Friends' annual adoption event spotlighting black dogs and cats! Leave your comment HERE and if you are the randomly chosen winner on May 31st, your rescue group or shelter will win a donation of $100.  Is there more than one group or shelter close to your heart?  That's ok!  You can enter more than once!  And don't forget to tell you friends!  Last year, we only got to 55 comments, and Finn was really bummed.  We pooled our toy and treat money and donated the $100 anyway, but this year he really wants to get to his 100 comments.  

P.P.S.  Mom just got a really cool email from the owner of K9Cuisine.com that she will be sharing later today or tomorrow for the opportunity to save some serious cash on brands of dog and cat food NOT affected by recent recalls! 

Back In Black 2

Hi, everyone!  It's me, Finn!  

And I just wanted to remind everyone that May is Back in Black 2 ... a national adoption event promoting the adoption of black dogs and cats, sponsored by Best Friends Animal Society.  You can learn more about the event, and Best Friends HERE! 

Obviously, as a black cat, this is an event very dear to my heart.  Black cats are awesome, as anyone who has ever known and loved one can attest, and I am sure black dogs are awesome, too, even though I don't personally know any.

The last time Best Friends had this event was back in August of 2011, and we tried to do our part by holding a COMMENT-A-THON and this time around we'd like to do the same!  

So leave your comment here ... and if, on May 31st, you are the one randomly drawn, you can win a $100 donation to the rescue group or shelter of your choice!  It's pretty easy - just leave us a comment telling us who you'd like to receive the donation in your name if you win, and you're entered!  One caveat:  there have to be 100 comments (or more)!  So leave your comment today! 

Meanwhile, check out some of these "black beauties" available for adoption at Best Friends! 

This is ORLANDO!

Orlando is described as "wiggly, bouncy, and happy" by the Best Friends staff.  He is also reported to be very food motivated so he would probably love to learn tricks.  Orlando is cat friendly, but might prefer to be an only dog.  He is afraid of children.  Do you know of someone who is looking for a big, friendly guy like Orlando to give them lots of love and maybe be their new partner in a dog sport like agility or Rally-O?  Tell them to contact Best Friends and ask to meet Orlando!

If felines are more your cup of tea, then you might want to meet Lady Opal!


To me, Opal looks like the feminine version of my good pal, Spitty, and who knows?  Perhaps a full-time partner in crime might be just what this confirmed bachelor and ladies' man needs?  Listen to what Best Friends says about Lady Opal:  "Opal doesn't have any self-esteem problems.  She likes for you to pet her.  But if you fuss over her too much for too long she may start giving you 'diva attitude."  Um, excuse me, but does that sound like Spitty's perfect other half, or what? That lush midnight black fur?  That piercing diva stare?  This is Spitty's soul mate, I'm sure of it!

 Happy Tuesday, everyone, and don't forget to leave your comment telling us which organization you'd like to get the donation if you're the winner!!!
