We’re Filling In Today!
Yep – that’s what we’re doing. Mom and I are BOTH going to pawticipate in the Friday Fill-ins from 15andMeowing and McGuffy’s Reader. Up until now, we’ve been taking turns filling in but we thought WHY NOT BOTH FILL IN so we are.
Here are the sentences that needed filling in and FIRST UP will be Mom then me – and both of our fill-in answers will be in BLUE!
Friendly Fill-In Statements: Week 8
1. I never thought I would miss taking a yearly vacation, but I do.
2. Every 4th of July we buy “fountain” fireworks to watch in our own front yard – we both love the colors and the fact that they are QUIET!
3. If I knew THEN what I know NOW, I would probably still not change a THING about how I’ve lived my life!
4. I have trouble fixing my hair almost every morning – it’s so much thinner now than it used to be.
Thanks Mom – now for MY fill-ins………………
Friendly Fill-In Statements: Week 8
1. I never thought I would miss being young and healthy, but I do.
2. Every 4th of July I dread all the neighborhood noisy firecrackers but THIS year, I can’t hear very well so NO PROBLEM!!.
3. If I knew who my cat Mom and Dad had been, I would tell them that even though they abandoned me under an old house when I was a tiny kitten, my life turned out to be WONDERFUL!.
4. I have trouble getting up and down stairs because of my arthritis but Mom carries me when I need help.
So there you have it – DOUBLE FILL-INS from me and Mom…………….these were kind of tough for some reason……..Mom had a horrible time answering #1 and I had a tough time with #3. That’s a good thing though – Friendly Fill-Ins make you really THINK……….don’t they? Thanks Miss Ellen and Miss Ann for hosting the Fill-Ins every week! If you want to see other Fill-ins OR link up your own responses on your blog, just click one of the host links and you can play along! 15andMeowing McGuffys Reader
HAPPY WEEKEND EVERYBODY!

My Mom is helpful – if I need to hitch a ride on the stairs, she’s right there – she says she’s glad I weigh less than I used to because I was a butterball before and carrying me was tougher. Now I’m Mr. Slim and weigh practically nothing…….We hope our neighbors will switch from noisy/scary fireworks to quiet ones this year for a change BUT knowing them they won’t!

Both of you have good answers here. I can relate to the vacations, hair, “Mom”. But, I think I may have nade some decisions differently, had I known how things would turn out. I trusted the wrong people, but I know I was sincere.
I can relate to you, too, Sammy. And some of my furkids can, too. Maggie and Kenzie are getting older and have a couple of issues. With Maggie, it is her heart.

Good morning to Sammy and his Mommy. 🙂 I’m sorry that you have arthritis, too, Sammy. Stairs are no fun anyway.
Do you know what is causing the thinning hair? Are you anemic, too? When I was severely anemic back in 2010, I lost a lot of my hair. Thankfully, it has come back and is curling again. I hope yours will thicken back up for you, no matter the cause of the thinning.
Have a blessed weekend!

My Mom’s hair got super thin (it was always thin but not SUPER thin) when she had chemo treatments some years ago…….it just never grew back like it had been but that’s not at all unusual either.
Hope you have a fabulous weekend – we’re hoping it’s QUIET and no super noisy fireworks but there are neighbors who almost ALWAYS have the noisiest possible fireworks and they have them almost ALL NIGHT LONG! BOOOOO!!!!!!

Awww I am so sorry that your mommy had to go through chemo. I know that is really hard. Praise the Lord she made it through and is better now. 🙂
I’m sorry about the loud times coming. We hear the popping, booming, and cracking all night here, too. It is both exciting and agitating (especially if you have a headache).
Have a furbulous weekend, Sammy. 🙂

Mom is absolutely FINE now thanks…..and who needs hair anyway?! HAHAHA We think we might have RAIN on July 4th here which would mean QUIET instead of noisy booming fireworks BUT eventually when the rain stops they’ll still happen. Oh well – it’s only once a year after all when people go crazy with their fireworks!

Loved your answers! Hope you have a wonderful Independence Weekend, despite the noise! As per your arthritis, our dear Mr. M suffered from that, too – dear old tom thought stairs were cruel and unusual punishment … then he became a tester for cat-a-bliss blends, one of which had silvervine as an ingredient… you would not believe how spry he is, now … and how possessive he is of the silvervine stick Kiara, of Cat-a-bliss gave him!

Sam doesn’t react to catnip but DOES react to silvervine…..I had no idea it had an effect on arthritis pain but I may have to get MORE if that’s the case! THanks for mentioning it and have a SUPER DUPER 4th!!

LikeLiked by 1 person
The only reason I know that is because I asked Kiara what M had tested that might have made him sprier. The blends didn’t have names when they tested them and I don’t think that she has all her blends on Etsy. Regardless, he now has his own stick, so can self-medicate… if he over-indulged, I would take it away, but he sort of treats it like a baby would treat its security blanket.
