Thoroughly Poetic Thursday
Thursday is always time for Teddy and Angel Sammy’s (Two Spoiled Cats) poetry challenge. Here’s this week’s inspiration photo.
As hard as I tried, for the second week in a row, I was unable to add one or more of the Kitties Blue to today’s inspiration photo. I was afraid they might get trampled by all the little feet.
Here’s my poem.
Where Are the Little Girls?
Check out all these little tykes
Speeding around on their balance bikes.
They really want to win the race,
So try to keep a rapid pace.
Their parents loudly cheer them on
But encourage them to just have fun.
And try their best to stay upright
And with their competitors not to fight.
But why are no little girls competing?
Are the boys afraid they’ll take a beating?
Time to make this challenge co-ed
And let all the kids go head to head.
As the fun should be for both girls and guys.
And it’s the best child who takes the prize!

Thankful Thursday
Thursday is also the day we count our blessings and list the things for which we are thankful.
Stinky is thankful for the wonderful adventure he had on Tuesday with Periwinkle. They visited the Kennedy Space Center and learned about the upcoming launch of Artemis 1. If you missed that post check it out at Friends Furever.
We’re all thankful that the kittens, Audrey and Raleigh, are doing great and growing fast. They have their second vet visit today, and I am anxious to find out how much they weigh. I’ll post a photo or two from that visit on Friday.
We are, as always, extremely thankful for your support, following and friendship.

Great poem! Our four year grandson just finished his summer basketball and let me tell you, there were some serious basketball players that were girls playing so hard. They were so competitive for such a young age. I loved watching their body language and facial expressions. Fierce! Thanks for sharing.
Great poem! And I agree, where are the little girls?
Great thankfuls. Cute poem- I do wonder why there are no girls. XO
That was a really good poem and such a wonderful bunch of thankfuls! Thanks for joining our Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
Love the poem and where are the little girls.
Wonderful thankful things too. I’m glad the new kitties are doing so well.
I enjoyed Periwinkle and Stinky’s adventure very much.
Have a fabulous Thankful Thursday. Scritches to the kitties, a smooch to Cooper Murphy and Sawyer and a hug to mom. ♥
I can’t wait to see how they are doing, and what they weigh myself!
Periwinkle is so happy Stinky enjoyed their Adventure. We’re all thankful for your friendship.
We didn’t even notice that the photo was all boys. You’re smart to keep the Kitties Blue away from those little feet.
Good luck to Audrey and Raleigh today.

We hope the little Blues have GREAT checkups today……AND we think your poem is perfect! We just betcha there are some girls there – at that age, it’s hard to tell if they’re little boys or girls under those helmets but we all know that a little girl WON that race……..right?
Hugs, Pam
What a darling picture of those incredibly able kids! They are all winners! And we are thankful for the two little ones adjusting well.
We agree girls can do that balance striding too…
That is a great poem!
Cute picture, but it does need some girls, theft kitties and I agree! It’s good to hear that the kittens are doing well!
Hear hear, the wonderful photo needed GIRLS!
