It’s a BIG day………I know there are some of you humans out there who have pets and don’t consider yourself a “Mom” or a “Dad” – you’re caretakers of your pets – but my Mom is much more than a caretaker…..she truly is my Mom (without a meow). I was only a few weeks old when I was pulled out from under a house and taken to the shelter – luckily I was only there a few days when a nice couple of humans came in and saw me in my tiny cage pushing a little plastic ball with a bell inside all around my two foot square “jail cell” ! Those two people became my Mom and Dad that very day. They’re all I’ve known in the way of family and all I remember – after thirteen years of love, they ARE my parents.
Neither my Mom nor my Dad have Moms who are still here…….in fact, they don’t have either their Moms or their Dads any more……..I’m their only “child” too as they never had human children of their own. I guess we just might have a pretty special relationship because of that.
I got my Dad to help me put some photos together of my Mom – not a lot – just a few – so you can see that my Mom ALWAYS has a smile on her face – to me, her smile has always meant “LOVE” …….
So, you can imagine that Mother’s Day in my house is SPECIAL. I’m going to spend all day today showing my Mom how much I love her………..I don’t think she’ll mind that ONE BIT – do you????
That’s really a special day in your house and that’s such a great post, I have some tears in my eyes. What a wonderful way to say I love you, mom. Thanks for sharing this wonderful pictures with me (your mom is super cute and your granny is just beautiful). Have a fabulous mom’s day :o)

Hi Easy! Well I think you gave your Mom a MOST SPECIAL squeaky gift for Mom’s Day during the night. No doubt she was MOST appreciative of it and will give you some special treat today as a THANK YOU! I’m glad you liked the pictures of my smiley Mom and while I never knew my Granny, I think she was pretty too. I hope you have a most special day in your crib – be sure and give your Mom lots of cuddles and hugs and perhaps later you could bring in a gift from outside? Maybe a nice big dirty stick or mouthful of
