WORDLESS WEDNESDAY: HAPPY BIRTHDAY BAILEY

Honorary Brofur Bailey Boat Cat

Honorary Brofur Bailey Boat Cat

So today, we are going to get slightly wordy and encourage you to visit our honorary brofur Bailey and wish him a happy third birthday. To do so, simply click on the graphic. If you get there before noon EDT, you will still have the opportunity to enter Bailey’s birthday raffle. The proceeds will benefit the Royal National Lifeboat Institution. Last year Bailey raised £100. This year his goal was £300 and at last check on Tuesday evening, Bailey had surpassed his goal with £302.90 raised. Way to go Bailey!

Thanks from Patriotic Pet Mau

Mauricio is so grateful to each of you who have “admired” him and sent him “hollers” in the Patriotic Pets Photo Contest sponsored by Just4MyPet.com. If you didn’t see him in his Independence Day stars and stripes attire and/or haven’t voted for him by giving him a “thumbs up,” please click on SnapYeti to do so. And please encourage your friends to do the same. When we last checked, Tuesday evening, Mau was in first place with 27 “thumbs up.” He is still the only cat competing against 19 woofies.

As stated previously, should we win anything, it will be part of a giveaway on our upcoming second blogoversary on July 21.

    Happy Birthday to Bailey. Sorry I haven’t been commenting much. Summer is here and the time is right for dancing in the streets. While TW hasn’t been dancing, she likes to spend time outdoors.

    A very Happy Birthday to honorary brother Bailey! That was excellent he surpassed his goal! We’ll haftoa to check out Mauricio’s voting. Many times we can’t vote because it’s limited to FB members, which it kinda unfair and self promoting of FB.

    Happy Birthday, Bailey!! We will stop by and send him well wishes! We voted for Mau in his patriotic contest last night – the rest of the competition has nothing on him! 😉

    P.S. Sampson is featured in our WW picture today. We thought Astrid might be interested to know that. He sends her lots of kisses and purrs!

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.
