Today I just wanted to do a human interest blog about some beautiful things...
Two weeks ago this family member "Blackie"had to be put to sleep. She was such a darling. Cat lovers will know what I'm talking about. She was 21 years old and almost blind plus her legs were failing her. So the big decision was made. Not so bad for me as I choofed off to Tassie. My darling hubby took her to the vet. When I returned 5 days later, I wondered how Christmas might be affected, but didnt want to rush into buying another cat. Two days later our friend across the road told us of 3 kittens wanting a home. Next day we check them out.."Oh we only want to look" Famous last words. Once we saw these tabbies we were smitten. What a fun time Christmas was being entertained by these two delightful little ones.

So sorry to hear about your pet loss. We had to put our 19 year old dog to sleep,a very hard decision. I had never had to make that painful choice. Your two new ladies are gorgeous. We made the decision to just look also. Close to 4 years later, my lab mix is snoring at my bedside. Beautiful flowers also.
ReplyDeleteThanks for that Cathy. I'm sure it was even harder with a dog, they are sort of "more human". I'm reading a book by a blind man whose dog helped him down 78 flights of stairs in world trade center in 9/11. Amazing the abilities they have which we dont. I'm still a cat person tho. Currently life is a ball for them and a laugh for us.
DeleteVery sorry about Miss Blackie.
ReplyDeleteAll cats love Heaven, they know the way there,
they know where the angel cats fly.
They’ll run past the stars and the moon and the sun…
…to curl up with God in the sky.

I would be exactly the same and get new kittens as soon as possible!
Thanks Judy, that's such a lovely poem. If heaven has horses Im sure it has cats too.
DeleteI am certainly enjoying our new kittens.
