Friday rolls around again and it’s time for Fill In The Blanks with our two co-hosts. If you want to be part of the action, click on the badge above and go to 15andMeowing and link up with us. We have fun learning more about each other this way!
Here are the four sentences (two from each co-host) for this week and Mom and I are splitting up the duty this week like we sometimes do. If Mom is supplying the words for the blank then they are in BLUE and if I’m filling in the blank my words are in ORANGE!
1. Lately, I’ve been so sad about the number of passings in a short period of time – cats of several friends and the husband of a good friend in a matter of days.
2. I find delivery trucks fascinating. (when the guys come to the door I greet them sometimes and they always call me “Garfield” !!)
3. If I had known living in a house with humans was so wonderful I would have found my way to the shelter SOONER!.
4. I can’t help but get a little shaky when I’m nervous.
YAY FOR US MOM – we did it!!! So do I get a treat for cooperating? What? I do? Thanks Mom!

4. I can’t help but laugh out loud at having the delivery anthros call you “Garfield”…haha. Wonderful! I cannot seem to get your comment box to open up all the way and so am writing in half-size letters! Yes, too many friends lost this year. I feel that we need to love one another even more than before.

Mommy just found out about one of her son’s beloved teacher from HS passing away, yesterday. The sons and she were so sad. Speedy is gone from us too. On top of the other fur babies who went to the Bridge. It is hard when furkids and humans pass beyond our seeing.

It sure is and this past week has been FULL of passings…..it seems to happen in “clumps” sometimes and just makes it worse that way. I think everyone just wants some happiness and “normalcy” and losing friends makes it tough.

I never see the Chewy guy – he silently comes and goes……stealth mode……I just happened to see the UPS guy – Mom and I were coming around the corner of the house and I kind of HAD to go by the UPS guy – but when he said “Hi Garfield” I stopped and gave him a sniff before going around him to the front door. I think I might have made his day. HAHAHAHAHAHA

I always greet the delivery trucks… I find the stuff that gets delivered is fascinating. But nobody calls me Garfield. I think they think I am a crazy oldster. I get the shakes when I am nervous too… the all over body shakes most often related to medical stuff. Teddy, you got to the shelter at just the right time for your Dad and Mom to find special YOU!

Mom loves delivery trucks – she knows it’s something SHE ordered arriving. This was the first time a delivery truck came and I was OUTSIDE so I got to actually see the delivery guy in person…..he must be a cat guy because he smiled real big and said HELLO GARFIELD….and I came right up to him, sniffed, then flew to the front door so Mom could let me back inside! Brave but not so brave….that’s me and Mom says she is the SAME WAY! HAHAHAHA

I don’t usually see the delivery peeps – they sneak up to the front porch, leave their packages and run back to their trucks for the next delivery – this was different though because I was outside with Mom and Dad when he got here…..I was confused…..the guy was friendly……and I bet that NEVER happens again!
