Poetry Day and Thankful Thursday

1. I’m with you on the 25 years thing. We have two elderly cats – I’m happy they have such comfortable senior years, but I know the girls’ hearts will break when the time comes. Let me take a crack at the fill-ins:

   1. I have a hard time finding a gift for all my girls. I’ve started keeping a list in my phone that I add to, so maybe this Christmas will be different.
   2. I have no problem finding a gift for myself. I should know what I want, right? It helps that my needs and wishes are simple.

   3. One of the best gifts I ever gave was Stephen King’s registration card from the Hilton in Charlotte, to my sister. Don’t ask how I procured it. .

   4. One of the best gifts I ever received was the jersey from each of my girls’ first championship seasons, framed. .

   1. I hope your kitties live a long time. Thank you for your answers. I know what you mean about finding gifts for yourself, I find lots of great stuff for me when I go shopping. Stephen King’s registration card is quite impressive. KInd of like when Penny got Nimoy’s autograph for Sheldon on Big Bang Theory 🙂

2. That is an awesome poem, Phoebe, and so true.

   1. Thank you XO

3. Eh…. read and throw away your letters? Isn’t privacy of correspondence a law in the US??

   1. I guess it doesn’t apply to kitties-phooey!

4. It shure does.

   1. XO

5. My poem today was “WHY” (Y) too…..I think it’s on so many of our minds we will read several of those today no doubt! Thanks for pawticipating in my poetry day Phoebe. I’m excited about tomorrow’s Hop – can’t wait to see where you take me.

   Love, Sammy

   1. Thank you Sammy, our poens were similar, but yours was superior. XO and love to you and your Mom.

6. That really is a great poem. We sure wish all these animals could live for 25 years. Hope that letter makes it to Santa, Phoebe. You all have a great day.

   1. Thank you XO

7. That is a great poem. I wish pets could be around 25 years as well, 50 would be even better.

   1. Yes, 50 would be better.

8. LOL, sorry but I’m glad your mom threw away the 1st letter before Santa saw it 🙂 Love your poem. I hope cats can live longer, too.

   1. GLad you liked my poem.XO

9. Phoebe, somehow I knew you would try to wish Brody away for Christmas. We like Brody, and we know deep down so do you, so I think your mom did you a favor by scrapping that first letter. But you know what? This will give you the chance to make the most purrfect second letter to Santa Paws! Also, that poem is so beautiful and poignant. It may be a sad topic, but you executed it purrfectly. We can’t wait for the fill-ins tomorrow, and we’ll see you then!

   1. I am glad you liked my poem. We look forward to your fill-ins tomorrow.

10. We agree with your poem!!!

    Oh Phoebe….we think Santa would frown on your request.

    The Florida Furkids

15. “The lady doth protest too much, methinks” from Hamlet by William Shakespeare. I’m just sayin’, Phoebe!

    1. Are you saying I like that little goober? MOL!

16. Hehehe. I like your spirit, Phoebe! But without Brody, you’ll have to wear more costumes!!!

    1. Good point, maybe I should keep him around.

17. Critters never live long enough, ever. My only comfort is that I will be reunited with all of them someday!

    Phoebe, it is nice to share love, but giving away Brody is not the way to do it. XO

    1. That is my only comfort too. XO

18. Very thoughtful poem – and we agree.

    Good luck with your letter to Santa!

    Purrs xx

    1. Yes, she is very naughty.

20. I like your poem! Maude, one of our dear departed cats of long ago, was 24 when she went to the bridge. I thought that was normal!
    Now that I know better, I wish it was true.
    xxoo

    1. You were blessed to have Maude for so long. I wish that was the normal. XO

24. Phoebe, that never works, take it from me. I have tried time and time again to make some of my brothers go away and they’re still here!

    ~Caroline!

    1. Darn 🙁

25. We like your poem, Phoebe. We agree…we wish us cats could live much longer.

    1. Thank you XO

26. If Brody stayed…he could be your minion Phoebe…think of all the possibilities! Lucky for you your Mama scrapped that first letter to Santa … ;p

    the critters in the cottage xo

    1. I guess i would miss the little goober. XO

27. Oh Phoebe so glad you are still your wonderful self 🙂

28. What a beautiful poem, Phoebe, although I think 25 years are still not enough 😉 Pawkisses for a Beautiful Day 🙂 <3

    1. Thank you, I agree 50 years would be better.XO

29. You haz to writes anuther letter? Wow! Brody might like living with Santa though.

    That’s a wonderful poem, Phoebe – too hard to miss fur babies – mom would love even 30 years…

    1. 30 years would be nice.

30. Oh Phoebe now Fiona has gone to join efurryone inn Pure Land….
    Pleeze just sit with mee an hold mee paw ok?? 🙁

    1. Yes, that sounds lovely. XO

       1. Fankss mee sweet buttercup gurl <3

          1. XO

31. Late as usual…but we still MOL’d at that first letter…you are a silly kitty, Phoebe…but we think secretly you love Brody…you just don’t like to share the Mommy;s lap.right?? We know you will come up with a better letter…and no we didn’t cheat and look ahead…

    But life does happen and we know there is even more sadness…sheesh. Why? Just like in your poem. Its hard enough when a fur is loved for many long years, but when they are still so young it hurts even more.
    Maybe all of our letters need to be begging for long happy and healthy lives…furry long years. Petcretary too, knows the hurting heart of fur babies leaving too soon…

    1. I wish Santa could answer that kind of letter- for long and healthy lives for all. XO

32. We agree, our pets should live forever, and us too!

    1. That would be nice.
