GINGERY GOODNESS SELFIE

Sunday Selfies: Week #347

 

gingery goodness

 

I had a pretty good selfie going here until Mom gummed it up trying to make it festive for Easter. Forgive her, please. She is a firm believer in more is never enough! I hope you are able to detect my gingery goodness through all the muck.

I’m off to see if that cheeky Easter Bunny has left us any treats. That means it is your turn to show us your selfie and join our blog hop. As soon as you do that, you’ll be able to start searching your house for nommy treats and even maybe that bunny. If you don’t post on Sundays or are just too busy with holiday festivities to pop by, the hop remains open through Thursday.

 

 

If you do celebrate the holiday, all of us Kitties Blue, Mom Janet and Dad Tom wish you a

 

🐰 HAPPY EASTER 🐰

 

Purrs and paw-pats, Cooper Murphy

    Hey Cooper M! We think you look pretty great. And you what? My Hostess put a bunch of silly eggs all around me–what the heck is that about? Well, it’s okay. I found out I am going to be here until May 1, so I guess I might as well go along with the program. But I’m pretty sure my Real Mom would not be so silly!

    And who are these McChonkersons anyway? I never see them around. They must like to hide.

    Happy Spring to everyone!

    Cooper Murphy, when it comes to your handsome gingery self, there really isn’t any need to add any decorations. We will say, however, that Mom Janet did a beautiful job of artifying your already awesome selfie. Happy Easter to you and your family! XO – Ava, Mom Tracey and Dad Kevin

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.
