Wordless Wednesday
RAIN, RAIN, GO AWAY
Social Media
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.

Neither rain, nor wet fur, nor a squirrel-proof bird feeder will keep those guys from getting at that seed! 🙂
He is going ti need a session under the hair dryer, MOL!
At least he did find some yummy seeds…ad no Dalton nearby to chase him away!
We get lots of rain but we’ve never seen a squirrel so wet like that! We bet he can’t wait for it to stop!
Poor squirrel.
OMC! That is one wet squirrel!
Now we won’t complain next times it rains and we are in our jackets and then back inside where it is warm and dry! Poor, soggy squirrel !
the critters in the cottage xo
P.S. We hope your pawrents had fun at Blog Paws! xx
We’ve had a lovely spring like week, but there is rain in the forecast for this weekend. Oh well.
Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday filled with some sunshine. Scritches to all the kitties. ♥
The bird and squirrel TV has been spectacular recently! All of the Eastside Cats love it!
At least that little squirrel has some treats to eat in the rain!
That little sweetie is making the best of it though.
Poor wet squirrel! 🙂
So over all this constant rain! 🙁 I’d feel bad for the little bugger but ours keep knocking down the bird feeder. Sigh…
Mr. Squirrel may be soaked to the skin but he’s still got his treats out of the bird feeder! Our feeders had squirrelly visitors all through the deluge of rain yesterday too……when you’re hungry you put up with snow, rain, sleet WHATEVER to get a meal!!
Hugs, Teddy
That is one wet squirrel!
