🎂 HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ASTRID & LISBETH 🎂

Ninth Birthday Celebration

 

birthday

 

Yesterday was the actual birthday of Lisbeth and Astrid.

Astrid took full advantage of that and spent lots of time in my lap being scritched and petted the entire time. And she purred non-stop.

Lisbeth received a package from her sweet and thoughtful boyfriend Charles. She promises to share about that on our Thankful Thursday post.

The girls received this nice card from the gang at Tomcat Commentary by Tim: Timmy, Einstein, Rumpy, Toby and Miss Fitz.

 

Party Time

Cooper Murphy has taken over Mau’s Cat Scout Bake Shop, so he was responsible for making the cake for today. He’s still learning the craft, but I think he did a darn good job.

 

 

We have a variety of noms and drinks, so please help yourselves.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Birthday Wish

I asked Lisbeth and Astrid if there was anything special they would like for their birthday. They told me they have two wishes. The first is for all our friends, followers and supporters to continue to purr, pray and send POTP to their little brother Sawyer. For their second wish, they would like you to visit the Friends Furever blog today and check in on “The Adventures of Periwinkle & Stinky.”

Thank you for celebrating with us.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY LADIES! I hope you had a perfect day yesterday and will have one today too. We all hope your wish comes true about your little brother Sawyer – if he could NEVER have another seizure it would be all our wishes come true. Sorry I didn’t get a card to you in time. Blame it on my Mom (!). Love all the party foodables – YUM!

    Hugs, Teddy

    Happy birthday, Astrid and Lisbeth! For some reason, I didn’t know they had the same birthday. We bet you both miss Mau – though Cooper Murphy did a pretty great job with the cake!

YOU
For Fiona

It seems like only yesterday

You were just a kitten.
When I saw your pleading look,
I was completely smitten.

Now at only six years old,
You are getting ready to leave,
Soon you will have your wings.
I’ve already started to grieve.

You’ve fought hard for the past year,
And I’m not ready to say good-bye.
I can’t imagine you not in my life
I am so sad
today I had to cry.

I am grateful and blessed
For my six years with you.
You’ll live in my heart forever.
You’re one of the best ever Kitties Blue.

YESTERDAY

Many yesterdays have passed since
You gained your angel wings. Today
Is six months since you left us behind
To remember and mourn. Our hearts
Continue to hurt, and we miss
You as much as the day you left.
Giulietta whined from the catio
Yesterday as I worked in the yard.
I know you put her up to it. That
Was your way of getting me to,
Allow you to join me as I
Gardened. You were there with me
In spirit. With every meow
I thought of you and how much I miss
Your sweet face and disposition.
In these past few months, many friends
Have traveled your same path in your
paw-steps. I am certain you were
Waiting to greet them with purrs and hugs.
I pray you and your friends are laughing,
Frolicking and having fun together.
Picturing that makes me smile, but
Does not lessen my sadness at your
No longer being here to snuggle
And receive our love, care and kisses.
Fiona, please do not ever forget
You are still and always will be loved.

ONE YEAR MISSING YOU

One year has passed since you flew away,
And I still think of you everyday.
I see your sweet face in my mind’s eye
And wish we’d never had to say good-bye.
It’s nice you’ve sent us kitties needing a family,
But my dearest love, we are now at capacity.
You thought it would take more than one cat
To take your place in our habitat.
We love Cooper Murphy and baby Sawyer dearly
But thinking either could replace you makes me teary.
You were one-of-a-kind and will stay in my heart
Until the day I join you and we’re no longer apart.
When once again I can hold you in my arms
And revel in all your love and feline charms.
Together with you and all who have passed.
I will spend eternity contemplating how blessed
I was to share my life with my furry children,
Each and every one of you one-in-a billion.

UNTIL

I miss you each day.
Until we meet in heaven,
The pain will remain.

© Giulietta Blue 11/01/17

ONE OF A KIND

I don’t know how to say good-bye.
I thought you were invincible; though,
You used up many of your nine lives.
You ruled us all with an iron paw;
Never took “no” for an answer
And always got your way.
If not, you’d bark to signal your
Displeasure and sometimes raise a paw.
I always joked that you were bi-polar.
When I told people you were a calico
They immediately understood what I meant.
Today was unnaturally quiet in the house.
Can a home seem empty with eight cats?
I will miss waking up at night to find you
Sitting next to me and staring at me.
I will miss you yelling at us as you did
When you wanted breakfast and dinner.
I will miss watching you lounging and snoozing
On the porch settee on a warm afternoon.
But most of all I will miss your kisses!
When kitten Sawyer befriended you,
We suspect you were imparting your
Wisdom and secrets for controlling us.
Time will tell if he was a good listener.
But whatever he may have learned,
Neither Sawyer nor any other cat
Can or will replace you in our hearts.
Lily Olivia, you were one-of-a-kind.
