Friday means fill-in the blanks. Filling in the blanks means FUN! Here we are at the end of another week and our co-hosts for Fill-Ins, Ellen of 15andMeowing and Lorrianne of Four-Legged Furballs have given us FOUR sentences to work on. If you’d like to join us – please do – just click the badge above and it will whisk you off to 15andMeowing where you can fill in the LINKY form and share your fill-in fun too!!
Here are this week’s sentences from our co-hosts. I let my Mom do them this week and her words are in BLUE.
1. I love buying gifts for my husband – I always get the things I know he NEEDS but then include surprises too.
2. I have a hard time finding a gift for Teddy because he isn’t much of a toy boy – he doesn’t play with toys much; he doesn’t sleep in a cat bed either……and only likes ONE kind of food PERIOD (boring isn’t it!).
3. It’s the most wonderful time to walk around with a smile on your face – all those Christmas shoppers have frowns from lugging stuff all over the Mall but when they see your smile they smile back and HOPEFULLY keep it!
4. There’s no place like HOME SWEET HOME for the holidays.
Thanks Mom – good job. I know I’m tough to get gifts for – I’m sorry about that because I know you’d have tons of fun giving me all sorts of fun things but you know me. I play with a toy for about 60 seconds then walk away and NEVER look at it again. There are (right now) only TWO toys I pay any attention to. A yellow snake and a plastic fish. Boring huh???!!! I promise to try and be better about that especially since Angel Sammy left me a lot of GREAT toys.
Everybody have a great Friday. We’ll be doing fill-ins again NEXT Friday – hope you join us for the fun.
“I’m dreaming of a white Chistmas”……..but Mom says not to wish for a lot of snow – maybe a dusting!
wow Teddy, you are like the mama… she will not sleep in a dog or cat bed, she eats only veggie stuff and there is just one thing what makes her happy … chews… uuh we mean shoes LOL

Your Mama is the shoe and boot queen for sure – funny our humans don’t appreciate a good chewing stick or tugging toy – they sure are hard to figure out sometimes aren’t they guys??????

HI Clowie! Yes – that’s how I feel – I don’t need a special bed – I have plenty of snoozer possibilities around here. Mom keeps trying to tempt me to use the “official cat bed” she got me when I moved in but I’m not falling for it!

Gosh, I sleep in my cat beddie in the winter (only) but I spread my ample self around to every bed in the house, the sofa, the rocker, MY recliner, my little cloth mats that were made for me. My blankies that were made for me. I’m like on a merry-go-round. And if you have ever read my bloggie, I bow Sammy and Teddy have, you will see I am the toy QUEEN! I have 5 special ones I bring to mom every night but I have several dozen others that I move from room to room.

Mom thinks that maybe my first year (wherever that was!) I didn’t get toys or obviously a water bowl since I still INSIST on drinking from the sink. Anyway, when I got here I had access to not only new “welcome” toys from Mom and Dad but Sammy’s considerable collection. None of them interested me. Weird huh??????

BellaDharma you certainly earned your right to whatever you want and need……..life “on the street” (or in the woods) without a home is very hard. It’s survival – we suspect I had that too my first 11 months – but then we find out if we’re lucky and get our forever that it doesn’t have to BE so hard. We are fortunate – there are still so many who aren’t.

BellaDharma you really had a very hard time – I can’t imagine why anyone would adopt you then bring you back…..humans just don’t THINK what that means for us do they….anyway, my Mom only knows that I was 11 months old when I was taken to a shelter by SOMEONE. What happened to me in that 11 months is anyone’s guess but the “best guess” is I was either feral, or a barn cat, or homeless and living by my wits! OR maybe someone adopted me when I was tiny and brought me back. We just don’t know. All I know NOW is that I’m happy – just like you are. That’s what matters right? ❤

Teddy, your mom did a wonderful job with the fill-ins! And you sound a lot like Eddy, Teddy. Eddy is a difficult lady cat to shop for, because she won’t eat treats or canned food, she eats only one kind of dry food, toys are rarely fun to her, and there’s only one cat bed she’s ever even considered using. She much prefers climbing the Christmas than playing with any silly toys or sleeping in a bed. Purrs!

Cats have a mind of their own and you don’t often find TWO that think/act the same way. LOL Of course that’s part of the reason we love them in the first place right? Tell Eddy that Teddy sends his admiration for her individuality – from one to another (!!).
