Run Eat Repeat

The Most Amazing Giveaway in RER History

My Life

FacebookTweetPin
1 Apr

Hello! I actually have a semi-serious message today (at least for RER). But first let’s talk food stuff. I hit up the store today for Bunny Cake supplies…

My mom requested white cake. I don’t know why, but she loves it. I wanted Funfetti.

and found a new-to-me dressing to try.

I already love this line of salad dressings. But I’m not a usually a big fan of Blue Cheese dressing. However, I’ll make an exception for something that is on sale and 35 calories (so I can eat extra bunny cake).

I walked to the store because I’m green like that.

I wore stars and stripes because I’m patriotic and weird like that too.

Giveaway Very Close to My Heart 

Okay. So I mentioned a while back that I was going through  some personal things. It is definitely a very complicated situation and I’ve been struggling with a lot of life decisions lately.

After a lot of thought, I’m going to be moving.

Remember how I recently got all new appliances? And have been doing a ton of Spring cleaning… Well, that was to get ready to move.

And while I’m feeling positive about this new chapter of my life, it’s presented a lot of problems. One of the biggest problems is that I can’t bring my cat / only friend, Vegas with me.

I’ve been doing a lot of research, trying to figure out the best way to handle this move and make sure everything goes smoothly.

One thing that’s been really helpful is finding a reliable moving service that understands how important it is to not only handle your belongings with care but also manage the logistics of such a big transition.

I came across a great Canadian business that specializes in both local and long-distance moves.

Their attention to detail and customer service is top-notch, making this complicated process just a little bit easier.

With everything else going on, it’s comforting to know that I’ve got professionals handling the physical move.

They’re experienced, organized, and, most importantly, they’ve got the equipment and skills to get the job done without stress.

It’s a bit of a weight off my shoulders, allowing me to focus on other aspects of this life change.

I was going to give him to my mom to watch, but after a few sleepovers we’ve come to realize he does NOT get along with my mom’s new cat. (He does get along with the dogs since he grew up with them.)

So, with a very very heavy heart I’m giving my cat away.

And since he gets so much love on RER I thought I’d put it out here. If you want to be entered to win Vegas or know a good home for him please leave a comment below.

About Vegas:

  • He’s 7 years old.
  • He doesn’t like other cats, but will tolerate some of them.
  • He is afraid of dogs he doesn’t know, but does get along with my fam’s two dogs (and they’re very big).
  • He eats a Purina Urinary Tract Cat Food – that’s pretty cheap.
  • I would like it to be able to Facetime or Tango with him once a week.

And if you’ve been reading the blog for any length of time you might know he likes to cuddle every now and then. It’s really the sweetest thing.

      I am assuming this is an April Fool’s joke…I can’t imagine you not having him,

      If it isn’t a joke, I have two already but would take him.

      Happy April Fools! If you WERE giving up Vegas, I’d ask for permission to rename him to “Dum Dum”….nothing to do with Vegas, I just want a cat named, “Dum Dum”.

      I hope this is an April Fools joke. If it isn’t, I’m really sad for you. I can tell how much you love Vegas and would be heartbroken to give him away. I would take him but I live in Massachusetts and have an orange kitty who also does not like other cats!

      I do hope the other part is true though!!

      Nice April Fools Monican. Now I’m wondering if any of it is true, are you actually moving?? Is Vegas really 7?? Does he actually like to cuddle or do you hold him there until he gives up on life?? Does he really hate all dogs? I’m sure he’d love my dog Stormy 🙂

      I thought it was real until I read the other comments.
      So glad others out there aren’t as gullible as me!
      But…are you REALLY moving (and taking Vegas, right)?
      TELL!
