Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day

Posted on by

I am a few days late for this special day, but better late than never. Deborah Barnes founded Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day in 2015, in tribute to her beloved Mr. Jazz who went to The Rainbow Bridge in 2013. It is a day to honor all our furbabies that are no longer with us. They truly do leave pawprints on our hearts.  We are joining the hop, click here.

Since I started blogging in 2014, six of my kitties have left us.

I also want to remember my beloved KaChoo who was with us from 1994-2010

and Barney who left us in 2013.

We are also joining Athena’s Caturday Art Blog Hop and The Pet Parade. The Great One made this masterpiece when she was visiting the other day.

And it took me all of July and August, but I did it! All 100 snowflakes are complete.

Now I plan to make more of the ones I like the best and add something sparkly to them.

Today is Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day started in 2015 by Deborah Barnes of Zee & Zoey. This is a special day to remember all our furbabies waiting for us at The Rainbow Bridge. They have all left their pawprints on my heart and will never be forgotten.

Sparks!

Hi everyone! We are joining Comedy Plus’ Awww…Mondays and McGuffy’s Reader’s Sparks Blog Hops today, but first, a word from Joanie.

I has been duped! Those were not gremlins, they was Furby’s. I still want gremlin to train.

Our Spark for today is not a quote. From now until Christmas we will be giving ideas to make people happy this holiday season.I think that counts as a spark.

I put a basket of goodies outside on the steps with a note for all Fedex, UPS and USPS to help themselves. I put out bottled water, chocolate, apples and some packages with crackers and cookies. I am sure anything you choose will be appreciated by these hard workers and will brighten their day.

We will get back to reviewing books next Monday. And Penny will be here tomorrow with one of her tips.

  Today is 7 years since my KaChoo left for the bridge. This was taken at Tufts a few days before she passed. I miss her every day.

Thankful Thursday and More

Hi everyone! I got to see my Grammie Wednesday- I love her so very much. And she brought me treats and said that I don’t have to share.

I am so thankful for my Grammie that I am joining Brian’s Thankful Thursday Blog Hop. I am also thankful that a foster home from a shelter was available for me when I needed it so I am going to participate in a cool fundraiser that I read about on The Pet Blog Lady. A 18 year old dog named Morgan was in need of a home so the foster family is going to keep him. He turns 19 in March so they are asking everyone to send him a card and possibly a dollar for the shelter. I am giving one of my very own dollars and Mom and Grammie are too. For all the information, click on the link above.

And now for my poem for Sammy’s Poetry Day, featuring the letter K.

KaChoo
Mom’s first cat you were
you taught her to treasure every purr.
You were from a litter of six
3 orange, 2 tabby , 1 gray-quite a mix.
You preferred blue to pink,
your tail had a kink.
You were with her for 16 years
for you, Mom still sheds tears.
I am glad I got to know you too,
my sweet sister KaChoo.

KaChoo was a sweet sister, not to be confused with KaTwo-not so sweet.

Mom is joining Wandering Through the Shelves Movie Picks again. This week is the TMP Television edition: Super powers/superheroes.

  1. Grimm: Excellent show that is sadly ending after 6 seasons. Grimm is a homicide detective that can see the creatures hidden inside of normal looking people.
  2. Pushing Daisies ( 2007-2009): A quirky show that only had 22 episodes. Ned, has the ability to touch anything ( person, fruit, etc) dead and bring it back to life-but, if he touches it again it is dead forever.
  3. The Flash: Currently on the CW, I chose it because my hubby watches it so I do to once in a while plus we call Joanie, The Flash because she comes running from anywhere when she hears treats being dispensed.

Thursday Movie Picks

One more thing….The Friendly Fill-Ins for tomorrow. Mom came up with the first 2 and Annie of McGuffy’s Reader came up with the second 2.

1. I wish _____________________________ would come back in style.

2. I always have _____________________ in my purse ( or wallet for men).

3. I think that I                            .

4.                                     is a pet peeve of mine.

PS: Penny still hasn’t peed in her box- did one of you tell her about the contest?

Hi everyone! Look what my Grammie brought me yesterday. I love her so very, very much. I saw her Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday! And I am going to see her today too. I am most thankful for that so I am joining PepiSmartDog’s blog hop.

DSCF2188Thankful Thursday Blog Hop

We figured out why Joanie didn’t want to model her tummy on Tuesday,  she thinks she is a big star now because they showed her tummy on Katzenworld.

I know you all want to know why Mom had photos of cats in traps for Wordless Wednesday. The secretary at the Dr.’s office where Mom gets her shots asked Mom to help her transport ferals to get fixed because the lady is at work for drop off and pick up times. There is a farm nearby that doesn’t take care of their cats ( she called SPCA and they were checked, but because they have some food and water they were considered safe). The lady borrowed 4 traps, on day one only 2 worked and those were the 2 in the photos. There are 2 more babies- Miney and Moe, but only one got captured on day 2. Mom will fill you in as this project continues, they are not being released, hopefully they can get used to people. DSCF2194 (2) This is Miney after surgery, Mom likes the W instead of an M.

We are also joining P.S.Annie’s Throwback Thursday. These kittens remind Mom of KaChoo1KaChoo ( 1994-2010). This is her kitten photo, Grammie kept the gray one and named her Sheba, she lived until 2011.

Throwback Thursday

And last, but definitely not least is my poem for Sammy’s Poetry Day featuring the letter I

 

Ice
Ice is nice
but I prefer mice.
Ice keeps your drink cold
and your food from getting mold.
It looks a lot like glass
and can make you fall on your *ss

Hi everyone! Today is the last day of the A-Z Blogging Challenge. We highly recommend The Chronicles of Zee & Zoey by Deborah Barnes. I love the blog Zee and Zoey’s Cat Chronicles and this book is love story of Zee and Zoey and their family. It is so much more than that though. I think it is an inspiration that one can survive anything as long as you have cats to help you through. Phoebe4  I love the photos and design of the book too.

And for Athena’s Caturday Art Blog Hop,  we are celebrating National Tabby Cat Day- I realize I didn’t do anything to these photos, but tabbies are all works of art. Prancie didn’t want her photo taken so she jumped inside Sammy’s TARDIS.

tabby1 Caturday Arttabby2KaTwo did a little better.

And the reason tabby cats hold a special place in my heart- KaChoo- my first cat (1994-2010)

KaChoo

We were very sad to see another kitty leave this world , Cinco’s family is heartbroken.

Cinco FOREVER

I am hoping to put up our tree today so for Athena’s Caturday Art Hop, I went to photofunia and put Lucy on some Christmas balls. I wish I could actually buy some like this.

And for The Lazy Pit Bull’s #52 Snapshots of Life, the theme this week is “thankful”. I am thankful that I had so many years with Lucy and with KaChoo (below). Yesterday was 5 years since my KaChoo went to the Bridge. I am thankful for every kitty I am lucky enough to have share my life.

Phoebe will see you tomorrow.
