Here we are – we arrived at another Friday which means time to fill-in the blanks! Our hosts are Four-Legged Furballs and 15andMeowing. Ellen at 15andMeowing had to help one of her sweet cats to the Bridge yesterday so she’s taking a few days off. We have hooked the badge above up to Four-Legged Furballs so if you’d like to join us, click it and fill out the linky there to share your sentences. If you’d like to send a little note to Ellen about her kitty Tallulah – a new Angel now – just click Tallulah’s beautiful “FOREVER” badge below:
Here are today’s sentences and Mom and I took turns again filling in the blanks. My blanks are filled with GREEN words and hers are filled with BLUE words!!
1. I get to do whatever I want every week. I LOVE BEING RETIRED!!!
2. So far, 2019 is quiet for us – but it’s early so who knows what’s next!.
3. I will never tire of being spoiled – it’s my destiny.
4. Can you believe that I will be THREE YEARS OLD in March and that I was adopted February 12, 2017? Time flies when you’re having fun!
There you have it – me and my Mom filling in the blanks. We are also sending very big hugs to Miss Ellen and her husband David. It’s such a heartbreaking thing having to help a pet to the Bridge even knowing it’s the best thing for them. Mom still has dreams about Angel Sammy’s last day. Mom says she really believes this:
And that’s FOREVER…………..
Love, Teddy

Time does fly by, Teddy, and it is far too fast!
My thoughts go to Miss Ellen. I know what your mom means about Sammy’s last day. I can see not just Eric and Flynn’s last days, but also those of most of our cats too. They get indelibly imprinted into our mind even though the last day is not the one you would want to remember because of the terrible heartbreak.

Yes…..when Mom’s mind drifts to the last days she pulls it back to the FIRST days…..the incredibly delightful, fun and magical first days. But then it’s ALL part of the lives we lead – sadness and happiness makes for a course in life that teaches us so much about ourselves. Even heartbreak has a lesson.

true!!! that time flies like a concord…but we are glad that this time as I came to my crib and the time before you came to your crib is over… it still hurts, but that time probably had no day without tears and sad memories…

As time goes by the memories are less painful but I don’t think they ever quite go away….because love stays….even the “hard part” of love.

Motor Mommy visited Miss Ellen’s blog and left her a message. Tallulah looks so much like my mom’s previous kitty, Beezy. She says that quote is true about what we love becoming part of us. So I guess I’m part of her, and she’s part of me!
Great answers from you and your mom, Teddy.

Three years Teddy, you are not a kitten anymore! The text your mom believes, made my mom´s eyes watering and she said Pam is so right. I think she saw in her mind all the cats and dogs she has had.
