TIGGER AND ANOTHER GINGER TABBY

Friendly-Fill-Ins: Week #109

We’re back again to tell you a bit more about ourselves with the Friendly Fill-Ins. Kitties Blue asked me to complete all the fill-ins this time around. All my completions are in teal italics.

The Friendly Fill-ins currently are being hosted by Ellen (15 And Meowing) and Lorianne (Four-Legged Furballs). On Thursday you can find the sentences to complete on each of their blogs. On Friday the blog hop takes place at Four-Legged Furballs. To go there now, click on the badge at the left.

MacKenzie (2001) & Tigger - Friendly Fill-Ins

MacKenzie (2001) & Tigger

1. My favorite Disney character is Tigger; though, he was not created by Disney but A.A. Milne. I also like Snow White, as one of our nephews called me Aunt Snowy when he was young. (I have a Tigger tattoo, which you can see in a very bad photo here. I’m sharing a photo of our previous ginger tabby, MacKenzie, as a kitten, with a Tigger stuffie.) 

 

2. If I could stay any age for life, I would choose to be age 60. When I turned 60, Dad Tom was already retired. Being retired is great, and 60 is still young enough to travel and do lots of other fun things.

 
3. Knowing what Dad Tom is going to say before he says it is my secret talent. (He can do the same thing with me, though. That’s what happens when you’ve been married 45 years.)

 
4. Life is like a great adventure with surprises around each corner. 

We’ll be back tomorrow to join Athena’s Caturday Art blog hop.

    TIGGER!!!!! I LOVE Tigger! I made the mistake of sharing that with my cousin who’s obsessed with all things Disney. Over the years, she’s sent me so many Tigger related items that I don’t know what to do with all of it!

    Great fill in answers. We always know what each other is thinking or going to say too. We will have been married 47 years this year, so like you, it is years of practice!

    MacKenzie was a beautiful kitty. Thank you for participating in the fill-ins, great answers. Tigger is a lot of fun. And I agree, life is an adventure. Have a nice weekend! XO

    Thank you for joining in on the Friendly Fill-Ins! You always share such fantastic answers. I am a huge fan of all things Winnie the Pooh. I have a thing for underdogs and so Eeyore’s always had a special place in my heart, but I sure do love Tigger, too. Happy Friday to all of you!

    (P.S. When I click on the Friendly Fill-Ins badge here on your blog, it leads me to an error page about connection privacy. I am not the least bit tech savvy and so I don’t know why, but I just wanted to let you know!)

    Too cute! Congratulations on the long marriage. We celebrated 21 years yesterday, though, truth be told, we’ve been together almost thirty. ~blush~ Be well. And have a lovely weekend.

    I love Tigger too. This weeks questions are most fun.

    I hadn’t thought about finishing each others sentences. Hubby and I can do that too.

    Have a puffect day, MacKenzie. My best to your peeps. ♥

    I love Tigger too. It used to be Pooh exclusively but has gravitated toward Tigger now. Mom has lots of Pooh character clothes. If she could stay one age it would be 40.

    I hope you are getting my comments. After Brian said many folks thought they commented successfully, didn’t. No fault others but their blog didn’t make it through.

    Cute kitty!

    Great Fill-Ins. Mum is worried about getting old. She’s almost 52 and dreading it (sorry for giving away your age, Mummy).

    Tigger is one of our favorites around here too especially since we are a ginger family (!!). That sure is a cute photo of little MacKenzie with that Tigger stuffie…..we like your Mom’s fill-ins today – my Mom says if SHE had answered the “what age” question she would have said 50 – way before arthritis came to visit her and when she and my Dad were having their first new house built because it was such an exciting time. We hope all of the Kitties Blue Crew and humans have a great Friday and weekend!

    Hugs, Teddy

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.
