Pre-Tease Monday

YES Class – it’s the day we whip you into shape for the TEASER tomorrow!!

I do hope you had a good weekend and are rested up from LAST week’s class by now.  If not – TOO BAD!    The Teaser is coming “READY OR NOT”!!

I want to let you all know that our brilliant gingerized Assistant Professor, Teddy, had his SECOND birthday yesterday – can you believe it?    My little protégé is growing up like a little weed (so much so that he’s on a diet now).    All my lessons I’ve been sending him from the Rainbow Bridge are working.    He’s a GOOD little Doo Bee!  (anyone old enough to remember the original Ding Dong School will remember that term).

Now – please remember when you arrive tomorrow – before you do anything – even before you use the bathrooms – COMMENT!   You know you want a chance to get the FIRST COMMENTER badge right?   Well then risk life and limb and COMMENT then do whatever else you need to do before class starts!    This is what’s at stake:

Last week we had TWO winners of the FIRST COMMENTER badge – if more than one of you comments in the first 60 seconds then more than one badge is awarded!

Other awards are available too – what good are the awards??  Well if you don’t have a blog and don’t want to show them off then they are no good at all but if you like to BRAG on social media – you’ve got proof you were FAST ON THE DRAW, FIRST TO GUESS RIGHT, RIGHT BUT NOT FIRST, and even WRONG!

Here are the GENERAL RULES for guessing on the Teaser every week!

Easy – right?

I don’t know about EASY but I would say “moderately complicated” !

I’m gonna try REAL hard I promise!

To give all of you just a little bit of a PUSH – and pump up your volume for tomorrow – the cheer team will fire you up like you know they can !

We’ll be right here tomorrow
Whether you’re happy or full of sorrow
You’ll be happy if you’re FIRST we know!
Like winning a trophy to show!
And if you’re not here in time
You still have a chance to be fine
Guess Right and you’ll be so proud!
We will cheer for you nice and LOUD……
So be sharp in the morning and ready
To show off to Professors Sam and Teddy!!

OK everyone – make sure and study those books tonight and we will be here tomorrow to cheer you on…………………………….before you go, make sure and stop by the snack table in the back of the room.    You may take some cookies out to the playground with you for recess!    What a deal huh?

Cookies are GROOVY…

You all can eat – I’m hitting the HOT TUB!!!

Your Professors, Sammy and Teddy too!

Pee Ess     Teddy wants to thank friends for sending him cards for his birthday – aren’t these super duper?  

THANKS TO ALL OF YOU!!!      Hugs, Ted

Tough Times

Hi Everybody!   These last several days – around Christmas – while those who celebrate the holiday with fun and laughs and presents were doing just that, there were so many of our blogville friends who were not so lucky……..for some reason none of us understands, there has been an extraordinary amount of illness – serious things – passing among our friends.  In and out of hospital – on and off medicine – not eating, not drinking, not thriving in any way……and it’s VERY troubling.   And sad.   We’ve had some “Bridge crossings” and that’s been sad as well.

One of the saddest stories was the story of Joe the Donkey.   Joe lives with Marg and her other animals (http://margsanimals.blogspot.com/) and had a serious run-in with a barbed wire fence which left him quite horribly injured.  You can read about it on her blog and the photo of his injuries speaks for itself.   He’s got a gigantic vet bill and a long road to recovery.   The Blogosphere is putting the word out to anyone who can help with the expenses to do what they can IF they can.   Here’s the information we received from Ann at Zoolatry:

Many of you have already helped our sweet friend, Joe … yet the need is great … Brian (Brian’s Home) has set up a special website on Joe’s behalf … the LINK is below, and the need is great as Joe continues to receive care. 

Please visit, and help as you can.

Please feel free to use the badges attached.

Please promote Joe’s needs on your own blogs … on your Facebook pages, Twitter, wherever you can and in whatever way you can.

It will be so much appreciated.

This wonderful little guy has a long way to go and Marg and all her animals will need our continuing love and support. 

Thank you, Brian and Terry for doing this … and thank you to every pet blogger out there in this amazing community who care so very much.  YOU ARE ALL WONDERFUL!http://www.youcaring.com/pet-expenses/please-help-marg-and-joe-the-donkey-with-his-vet-bills/283513​So of course if you can help Joe that would be great.    Some of the other kitties I’ve been talking about on my blog are not out of the woods yet either with their illness/health issues.  Our good friend Flynn was feeling better, but now he’s barely eating again and will go to the vet again today – we hope he’ll come home feeling better.  Our buddy Cody is eating well again and while his parents are still worried, they feel relieved that he’s eating and resting after his emergency vet visit.   He also will be having some more tests.

So keep your paws crossed that our friends – ALL of them – will be feeling better soon.   We have a brand new year coming and nothing would make me happier than if everyone starts it feeling GOOD………Remember the POTP is truly powerful………..purrs and prayers DO work/help.   Let’s keep them coming everyone!

Also remember that tomorrow is YOU KNOW WHAT day……………….Teaser Tuesday of course!   AND, your last chance to take away one of those fabulous December SPECIAL badges I designed………….I’ll probably work on some NEW Teaser badges for the new year but for now – put your thinking caps on, grab your maps, brochures, and atlases and be ready for the Teaser.  It will pop up in your inbox at a random time…………..then it’s no holds barred baby – – – the big scramble to be FIRST or even RIGHT will be ON…………..so I’ll see you then OK?    By the way, it’s a GUEST TEASER…….tee heeeeee

Hugs, Sammy 

TEASER TUESDAY!
