Be The Change, Blog The Change

BlogtheChange Today, we need you. This article is specially written for our friends of Bex, at about ten kilometers from our home.

In the evening of Friday, October 10th, criminals voluntarily set fire to the main building of the kennel of Bex (source : Police Vaudoise and newspaper Le Matin). Fortunately, horses, cats, and dogs were able to be evacuated in time by the fire brigades which quickly arrived on the scene, and there is no wounded person. Only one dog was not able to be saved and died suffocated : already very shy, he most probably hid and was not able to be found in time.

The building is ravaged ; a container was already supplied to the staff of the kennel to install a provisional reception there. The shelters of animals and the reserves of food were not affected ; the kennel has an accommodation facilities of 80 dogs and 40 cats, but fortunately the cat boarding (which was in the building which burned) was luckily empty these days.

Winter is coming and our friends need, by order of priority :

  • Money : what remains of the building must be unsettled and freed to be able to reconstruct everything, before the arrival of winter if possible
  • Blankets

Look, Zorro, the snake is pink for me, and yellow for you ! And there are also cheese treats, salmon treats, and … What’s this thing, a chocolate bar ?

How to get it touch with other blogging pets around the world

badge septWhat we prefer in pet blogging, it’s to meet bloggers of everywhere united by a common passion : their pet.

September is International Pet Bloggers Month for the BlogPaws community, and we want to tell you how we met you, you, our friends :

  • We began by following some cats on Twitter.
  • In the profile of each, we went to look who they followed, and we followed other cats and diverse animals.
  • We also noticed that certain Twittpals mentioned a blog on their profile, then we went to see…
  • The very first blogger cat we met was Mr Bumpy. His blog is a little less active since the arrival of Baby Joey, because the education of this small human sets him a lot of time.
  • We followed his adventures and commented regularly on his posts.
  • We then began to follow certain friends of Bumpy, via the comments of his blog.
  • By them, we discovered the Cat Blogosphere and we found new acquaintances there.
  • Thanks to the Cat Blogosphere, we discovered the BlogPaws community and chose to be a member of it too.
  • All this took place only in English ; as we are lucky enough to speak several languages, we examined to find other cats who speak French, German, or Italian.
  • We enlarged our circle of acquaintances by following blogs, but especially by leaving comments.

That takes a lot of time, but it’s worth of it : several of our on-line acquaintances became friends in spite of the distance, and Claire was even lucky enough to meet some !
