I’m taking part in the Pet Bloggers gift exchange hosted by Something Wagging This Way Comes.
This year I’ve been paired with Cindy Lu’s Muse blog and the mastermind behind the blog, Kim Thomas.
This is Cindy Lu. Isn’t she adorbs? (I’ll let you in on a little secret, I want to call her Cindy Lu Who. It’s not Grinchy, I mean Cindy Lu Who was adorbs too!)
The past two years I was paired with bloggers I didn’t know and it was a great experience meeting some new blogs and learning more about them and their pets.
This year the situation is slightly different as I’m already friends with Kim. We hang out together socially (on Facebook) and I’m a great admirer of hers.
One of my favorite things about Kim is how passionate she is about being the change for animals. Kim is one of the driving forces behind Blog the Change for Animals.
You remember Blog the Change? It’s a quarterly blog hop where bloggers:
- Tell the world what they’ve done to Be the Change for Animals
- Who they know who acts tirelessly on animals’ behalf.
- What favorite cause has a special need right at the moment.
While I have been friends with Kim for a bit, here’s the thing. I never really followed her blog. (Don’t worry, I’ve rectified that now. )
What I discovered from reading Kim’s blog is she isn’t just passionate about being the change for animals four times a year. It’s truly a passion for her. One look at her blog and you will see, her blog is dedicated to animals. There is a page with adoptable pets in her area. Her Last-Minute Gift Ideas for Pet Lovers had a host of organizations with the suggestion to donate a gift in your favorite pet lovers name.
it doesn’t stop there. Her Pinterest board is amazing, she’s also active on Facebook (duh, I already told you we hang out there), Twitter and G+ (something I’ve yet to learn.)
Kim is also in tune with legislation in the works that has the potential to impact animals, and she shares this information on her blog as well as her social media sites.
If you haven’t met Kim yet what are you waiting for? Go check her out, you can find her on:
Many thanks for Pamela at Something Wagging This Way Comes for organizing this blog hop and pairing me with Kim. I’m thrilled to learn more about the awesomeness that is Kim and honored to call her my friend.
What a beautiful post you gave her as a Christmas present. Cindy Lu is adorable. Have a great day.
Merry, Merry Christmas, Jodi!! Boy, am I blushing here… Thanks so much for the glowing praise, I’m sure I don’t deserve it but it sure makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. And that’s a really good thing to do for a person this time of year, isn’t it? lol (It’s freezing outside right now!)
I’m equally honored to call you my friend, you are nothing short of awesome. And we both love our animals, that’s for sure. Thank you, thank you, Jodi! 🙂
That is so funny, my mom also calls her Cindy Lu Who! Mom loves the Whos in Whoville!
I think Cindy Lu as super cute too. And Kim does write a great bog.
We want to WISH YOU A VERY MUCH HAPPY NEW YEAR…2015….
The gift exchanges are always fun

Kim is awesome and I also want to call Cindy Lu Cindy Lu Who too.
I’m hoping that by hanging out with Kim a little bit of her amazingness will rub off on me.
Thanks so much for leaving such a lovely gift for Kim under the Pet Blogger’s Gift Exchange tree.
Love this! Kim is truly a great writer and animal advocate. We love you Kim 🙂
It is always nice to be able to share info on blogs that we love.
Thanks for the intro. I see Cindy Lou around on some of the Hops, but never really followed her blog – will have to check it out.
Thanks for telling us more about Kim and Cindy Lu! I am familiar with who they are, but don’t really know them and that is something I would like to rectify! This was a great gift to them.
