Almost St Patrick's Day...And More Flashback Selfies

Petcretary is bogged down again...she made a ton of pictures, went to her work, Did chores and errands, and then when she thought she'd have some time, we got about 3 inches of snow, that had to be cleaned up. She even took our lawn-mower to the shop to be serviced so it will be ready when the grass grows again.

If you have noticed our absence well, this is why...she does get to a few here and there to add comments, but sorry about those who are awaiting our visits. 

She was shocked when she went to her work on Thursday, there had been an employee death. A lady that petcretary works with almost every time she is there, and now she will be so very  missed. It was totally unexpected and so upsetting. She was only 48....Petcretary might be able to go to her funeral next week.    RIP, A.D; You will never be forgotten.

She is not looking forward to the 'spring forward' event...so her sleep will be curtailed and so will ours. Phooey. At least we will get our noms earlier, BOL!

Petcretary has to work on March 17th, sand then she is going out of town for a conference, so who knows when she'll get to making new St Paddy's Day pics for us...not that we care...BOL!! We might even be late with our selfie post for the 20th.

Anyways here are three Angel Flashbacks as a preview to St Patrick's Day...and ours from last year:)

Petcretary: 'I was First Commenter AND First Right Guesser on the Teaser of March 8, 2022……LUCKY ME!!'

This is Mt. Kinabalu in Malaysia!   It’s on the island of Borneo which is (interestingly) governed by THREE countries – and this PART of Borneo where the mountain is belongs to Malaysia.    Pretty interesting huh!

 

In addition to the several sad partings of kitties and even a kitty dad, there was also a new Doggy  Angel. We think the doors at the entrance to the RB need to be shut and locked.This is Pinot. His blog is HERE. He has a FB, too, its HERE


 Here are the other memorial/mementos we made this past week:
Spooky-Boo
Winston
Dolly

What a sad week it has been...we sure hope the coming week and weeks will be happier. We send love and concern along with hugs to all those families in mourning. And for good healing for Mr Terry, Dolly's dad...who had to have emergency surgery right after Dolly left for the RB.

We have joined all the others at The Kitties Blue who are the host of this weekly feature, and we thank them for hosting this every week for SO long already!

  5. Your mom sure has been busy this past week. We were so sad to see so many leave for the Rainbow Bridge this past week. Those are all great St. Paddy's day memories of all of you, too.

  6. Such fabulous flashbacks! I'm very sorry for the loss of your work colleague. Since the panDAMNic began, losses seem far more intense and severe. Please know we're thinking of you and sending tender thoughts of comfort. Hope you don't have to work as hard this week and can spend time rejuvenating your soul.

    Everyone is Irish on St. Patrick's Day, even cats and doggos!
