Happiness

Hello Friends!!

In the last several days three of my blog friends have nominated me to do the “Eight Photos of Happiness” blog tag  and today (now that Teaser is over with!) I’m happy to do that post.   There are so many things that make me happy this should be easy peasy right?

This blog idea was created by Ariel’s Little Corner of the Internet and it’s really a sweet “tag” as I’ve had fun seeing everyone else’s posts since it started going around.

First of all here are the three friends who nominated me:

Wag-n-Woof Pet

Noodle4President

Clowie’s Corner

THANK YOU ALL !!!

The rules for this tag are:

Thank the nominator and link to them (done – in fact all three of them!)

Link the creator (Ariel – done)

Post eight photos – the photos can be anything that represents  a moment, object, place or feeling that makes you happy AND a brief description why you chose it

Spread the “HAPPINESS” by nominating up to ten other blogs!

My 8 “Happy” Photos

SAMMYSUPERSAM1

This makes me super happy – this is my Super Sam drawing that Nellie (Cat From Hell) and her Mom Miss Barb made for ME.  Why does this make me happy?  Because I’ve been a BIG FAN of Nellie’s “Finish the Sentence” game ever since she started but until YESTERDAY, Randomizer had never landed on MY NAME!   My  sentence had been “If I were a Super Hero I would…….(and I said I’d like to wear a SUPER SAM cape!)   THANK YOU NELLIE AND MISS BARB – you made me HAPPY!

Sam Portrait With Mom

My Mom – my best friend – she does everything she can to make me happy and moments like this really DO the trick!

I believe I'll have a little walkabout!

Being allowed to go outside with my Mom or Dad makes me happy….I love to eat grass….smell things in the breeze….watch cars go by……

It’s a little thing BUT it makes me VERY happy – TISSUE PAPER!

Napping in the sun makes me HAPPY!

 

My Mom says she'll share her recliner AND her Mother's Day with ME!!!!!!

Napping next to my Mom makes me HAPPY!

Early morning bird watching

Watching squirrels and birds from my perch makes me HAPPY!

My favorite treat – BACON – makes me HAPPY!

There are my eight “HAPPY” photos.  I could have shown a ton more because so many things make me happy including balogging, Cat Scouts, all my wonderful friends and most of all what makes me happy is that I’ve been here on earth for almost SIXTEEN YEARS…………….THAT REALLY MAKES ME HAPPY!

As for who to nominate – so many of you already have done this “Tag” post that I will leave it up to you ALL to decide if you’d like to share your “HAPPY” or not – if you would, please follow the rules and have fun with it.    I sure did!

LOVE AND HUGS (Happy ones!)

Oh yes.......I am one happy boy.

Oh yes…….I am one happy boy.

  1. You look cool in that cape, Sammy!
    It’s lovely to see the things that make you happy. You’ve found some great spots for napping and your spot by the window looks purrfect for watching some live entertainment.
    Thank you for the mention, my kitty pal.

    • Thanks for tagging us Clowie…..we already knew that we’re a happy bunch in my house but going through all the photos just reminded us all of how much FUN we have together. I’m a very lucky (and happy) boy!

      Hugs, Sammy

  3. Super Sammy is totally who you are! I loved reading the 8 things that make you happy as you make so many happy reading your blog and sharing your life. It is evident how loved you are by your parents and how much you love them. Your handsome ginger face makes me smile and brings me hope that my mancat Kaspars can make it to be as old as you, this would make me happier than anything. He is 14 this year and sadly a few months ago was diagnosed to be in the early stages of kidney failure. A special diet seemed to work until a few weeks ago he was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and skin cancer on his nose. He is on medication for his thyroid and we go to the vet next week to check his levels, so we are crossing our paws that has settled. The good thing is he is eating and engaging in his home security patrol officer job that he thrives on so that is another thing that helps me keep happy thoughts he will be celebrating his 16 years just like you Sammy. Like you, Kaspars is a tough, manly mancat on the exterior to most everyone around him, but underneath he is a true Mama’s boy who needs his loves from me. We Mama’s love our little boys so much!

    • Oh I think Kaspars will be like me – in spite of any adversity (I have hyperthyroidism too and bad arthritis) we love being here in this life SO MUCH that we will hang on and live every minute with our humans that we can to the fullest! We all begin to show signs of age and it reminds us that we’re here for a short time and to make the most of it……….I feel like I have done that……….I have had a TOTALLY fabulous life and wouldn’t change a thing. I’m sorry Kaspars has skin cancer on his nose – I hope they can treat it with a topical cream? So far I haven’t had cancer I’m happy to say but YES on kidney issues and thyroid stuff. Tell Kaspars for me that I hope he hangs in there for a LONG TIME and to stay positive and enjoy life. Eating, drinking, and carrying on with fun things like “house patrol” and “lap naps” will keep us forever young in our minds and hopefully our bodies won’t let us down!

      Sending you all special hugs…………………….
      Happy Sam!

    • The tissue photo makes Mom a bit sad because she says it was back when I was “chubby” and there was more of me to love. HAHAHA Now that I’m skinny, she can pick me up and I’m light as a feather. I do love my tissue though!!!!

      Love, Uncle Sammy

  34. Excellent photo choices, Sammy. We did our post today. We weren’t given all the rules when we were tagged. We were just told to link to our nominator. We didn’t nominate anyone ’cause we’ve already seen this done on so many of the blogs we follow. Mom picked photos that made her happy NOT so much us (especially NOT Mauricio). XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth, Calista Jo

    • It was a fun “tag” and it’s tough to find people who HAVEN’T done it – we just said anyone who wanted to do it should. Tough keeping up with things sometimes isn’t it!!!!!!

      Love, Sammy
