Astrid
WORDLESS WEDNESDAY: WHAT’S SO FUNNY?
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.

Troyer: Meowwmmy! Iz can dwink like herz?
Astrid! What the heck are you doin’ there, my sweet? Are you trying to stand on your head in the water bowl? Escape your collar? EAT your collar? Inquiring minds want to know! XOXOXO
That tortie matches the counter tops… she’s a stealth drinker! – Crepes.
* squints and turns head on to side * Um, yeah kinda difficult to see – hope you got down OK too.

When you gotta drink, you gotta drink! I see you still have snow. So do we. Quite a bit. See you in space.
Astrid, we aren’t laughing at you. Honest!
We bet the water is more delicious that way! 🙂
Well, that’s an interesting way to get a drink! 😀

Happy Wednesday, furriends.

Don’t you have an easier way to drink water ? Or is your mom training you for the next circus contest ? Purrs

Astrid, that looks like a fun way to drink water! Sampson says hello and that it’s good to see you again!
That is definitely an interesting position to be in!
Astrid, that’s an interesting water-drinking position!
