SKINNY DIPPING & THE BIG BANG

Friendly Fill-Ins: Week #157


Each week Kitties Blue and I enjoy entering the Friendly Fill-Ins blog hop. It gives us the opportunity to share a bit about ourselves with our fellow bloggers. And we have the opportunity to learn a little more about them. The hop is hosted by Ellen (15 And Meowing) and Lorianne (Four-Legged Furballs). The sentences to be filled in can be found on their blogs on Thursdays. To join the hop, click on the badge at the left.

Sawyer completed #1 this week, and I took care of #s 2 through 4. Both of us used teal italics for our completions.

1. Sawyer: Cooper Murphy is my best friend of the Kitties Blue.

 

 

2. My favorite character on Big Bang Theory is Bernadette. Thank goodness for syndicated re-runs, so I can continue laughing each day.

3. I could set a world record for not getting enough sleep.

4. Skinning dipping at night in the ocean in Tortola with Dad Tom is the craziest thing I’ve ever done.

Feline Friday

Cooper Murphy and Sawyer are joining the blog hop at Comedy Plus as well. Click on the badge below to go there.

Wear Orange Saturday

Please join us and your fellow bloggers tomorrow as we where orange in memory of Crockett from Lone Star Cats. Crockett died tragically and unexpectedly on Monday. Tomorrow would have been his fifth Gotcha Day. Crockett was beloved by so many for his famous tongue-out photos, big eyes and goofy expressions. Crockett’s fursibs, Travis and Angelique, are holding a blog hop to celebrate Crockett. Click on the badge below to enter.

Kitties Blue also will remember and honor Crockett on our Sunday Selfies blog hop.

    Whoa! A skinny dipper! That’s the craziest thing I’ve read today. I kinda skinny dipped too as my crazy thing. It’s cool that CM and Sawyer are besties since they’re the youngest.

    Thank you for participating in the fill-ins, great answers. Sorry you don’t get enough sleep. Good for you with the skinny dipping 🙂 I am too chicken. I am thankful for reruns too, I like a dose of Sheldon every night. We will definitely be wearing orange for Crockett. His death is a tragedy. XO

    It is too bad they cancelled The Big Bang Theory but it is even more sad to hear about the loss of Crockett.

    We will be there with broken hearts.

    A friend of ours in Great Britain lost two cats barely hours apart.

    This has been a desperate week.

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.
