A Double Bloggie Again!
FIRST WE WILL DO SOME FILLING IN………..
This is a fabulous blog hop co-hosted by Ellen of 15andmeowing and Annie of McGuffy’sReader and every Friday each of the ladies gives us TWO sentences with blanks in them for us to FILL-ER-UP! This week I think ALL of us will take a turn at filling in – Mom’s fills will be in RED and mine will be in GREEN and Teddy (my new baby brother) will fill in using PLUM !!
CLICK BADGE TO VISIT McGuffy’s and link your blog up for the Hop!
Here’s the sentences and our fill-ins!
1. Snow was something I really loved to play in until I got really old and my arthritis acted up!.
2. My favorite kind of soup is a toss up between “Bean With Bacon” and “Chicken Noodle”.
3. When no one is around, I get up on furniture my Mommy has said “Teddy, No” about!!.
♥
Now for the second part of today’s blog………………I will tell you a little bit about my new baby brother Teddy. You already know a lot but I’ll “re-tell” the whole thing for you just in case.
Mom and Dad were beyond sad when they had to help me go to the Rainbow Bridge on December 2nd. But my time had definitely come and I was struggling to stay. My departure was with my Mom and Dad and my beloved vet and his vet tech and I felt LOVE until my last breath. I was wrapped in a warm fleecie so I was comfy and off I went to the Bridge and became an Angel.
They were too upset to even consider adopting another cat at that point but they KNEW their lives would never be “right” without a kitty in them so they just waited for the pain in their hearts to lessen. They actually went to the shelter (where I was adopted 17 years ago!) here in our area once and went into the cat room but both of them couldn’t stay in the room – they realized quickly that it just wasn’t quite TIME. So Mom kept an eye on the shelter website to see who was arriving and who was being adopted….then last Friday, February 10th, the shelter listed three new cats, all under a year old! They didn’t have photos yet so Mom and Dad didn’t know what the kittens looked like but one was 11 months, one was 8 months and one was 6 months and they decided to go to the shelter FIRST THING Saturday to see the cats. They were the FIRST to arrive…….and when they walked into the cat room my Dad saw a little ginger guy in a cage sound asleep and said to Mom “do you think that might be HIM?” Mom and Dad walked over and read the information about the ginger and white kitten and it turned out he was 11 months old and looked a whole lot like ME! No extra toes like me, and slightly different tabby markings but a LOT like me. He woke up and stuck his little paw out the side of the cage and both Mom and Dad knew for sure he really WAS the one. Why? Well, 17 years ago when they adopted ME from the shelter, I had stuck my paw through the cage to say hi when they walked in the room just like this little guy had done. It was a sign. The lady in the shelter took him out of the cage and let Mom and Dad see him and he was a REAL LOVE BUG……he was making biscuits all over Mom’s coat, he was hugging her and Dad, he was purring loud……..he was just doing his best to say “TAKE ME HOME PLEASE” – so they did. They renamed him TEDDY because that’s the name my Dad wanted the next kitty to have.
This photo was taken the minute he got to the house that day………..
Happy Friday!
Love and Hugs, from Angel Sammy, Guardian Angel to Teddy!!
Teddy I’m so glad that your pawrents came furst to bring you home… that was the pawfect timing, otherwise I bet another furmily had picked you up, because you have the something what the heart of a human needs. I’m so glad that Sammy offered you the red wagon and this little red guy is no longer lonesome …. Huga to to you and I can’t wait to hear about your adventures :o)

Phenny I bet you have a bit of kitty in you and I bet I have a bit of puppy in me…..pretty good combination right? I do enjoy a good romp on the sofa and so far I’ve NOT used my claws on any of the furniture which has made my Mom VERY happy. I try to be super good but kittens and puppies have so much energy we have to constantly be on the move and – well – STUFF HAPPENS right? I’m very happy to be here and to be making so many new friends.
Hugs, Teddy

I think there is going to be a whole lot of “Teddy, no!” heard around the Kimmell house! Sammy you could help with that… LOL! WHY am I not surprised about one of your Mom’s favorite soups being Bean with… wait for it… BACON! LOVE every word about the story of how Teddy came to the Kimmell home, Sammy ♥… except the part where you went to the Bridge. But it was done with such love that my heart doesn’t hurt as much but I still really miss you. The slideshow is a treat today… fun!
I am going to do Fill-in here, okay?
Snow is something that MissouREE has hardly seen any of this winter and we are not bothered by that!
My favorite kind of soup is my homemade Vegetable Beef and CH’s homemade Potato!… mine is the best 😀
When no one is around I sing and dance to the oldies station with my bunny slippers on.
Z Cat is my heart cat, the bestest girl. I still miss her and think of her every day. Did I mention she was the best girl?

You are welcome to share your novels – short or long – with us ANY TIME! My Mom saw your mention of potato soup and it reminded her that’s another fave but like at your house, my Dad used to make the potato soup. Mom says she’s gonna remind him of that! Glad you liked the Teddy Slideshow – we’ll have more photos no doubt (haha). Thanks for filling in too – I’m sure Miss Ellen and Miss Annie will enjoy seeing your answers when they visit me!!!! Z Cat is ALWAYS with you – ALWAYS and forever!
