| Tiger/Mr Kitty Tiger, aka Mr Kitty from My Tata's Cottage, has flown away to the land of endless meadows full of catnip and butterflies. |
Though we are not thankful for his becoming an angel, we are thankful that we can make these mementos to help lessen the pain of loss a wee bit.
 |
| So we will join up with the Thankful Thursday Blog hop. |
Today we celebrate Dalton's Birthday!
We really don't know when his real BD is, so we gave him this day, the day he got picked up as a stray, and began the first day of the rest of his life. Sounded good enough! He was gotcha'd by us several weeks later, after he was pulled from the overcrowded Texas shelter, and came to the ROAR group here in our area.
He's come a long way since getting here in 2017, its been a rollercoaster of various behavioral issues, but we love him anyways, just the way he is. If he doesn't or can't unload his 'baggage', then so be it...but Grrs and bites to the ones who obviously abused him in his earlier life...
Anypaws, we have him at 8, the vet has him at ten, so who knows how old he really is! He does look a lot more grizzled in his face and ear tips than when he first arrived...and he's even lost a few teeth, I found one on the carpet a couple weeks ago, the vet looked in his mouth and confirmed it, but didn't think he needed any dental work at this point. Said his choppers were actually in pretty good shape!
Anyways, here is his birthday card that I made for him...we'll 'pawrty' later!
 |
| Happy Birthday, Dalton! |
 |
| We are joining the Happy Tuesday Blog hop, birthdays are such happy occasions! |
Finally! The new collars and tags are on the pups...Just in time to be spiffy for an upcoming Barkday...though they are just regular collars, at least now they are a nice bright red and clean! Even when washed, the old ones still were looking dingy. So at the next photo session, maybe they will show up. Today's selfies were taken before the new collars were put on...and now all the tags are up to date and 'legal'.
So Benji likes to give kisses on the fly or by sticking his schnooter into petcretary's arm...but Dalton truly is a cuddler and would occupy my arms or lap all day long, if given a chance, BOL!
So Benji is just enjoying a calm moment contemplating the goings on around him, but Dalton took advantage of petcretary when she was taking a rest from doing yard work...just what she needed...a warm dog on her hot and sweaty body, BOL!!
So here they are:
 |
| Watching what the neighbors are doing |
 |
| A grin for petcretary...cause she knows when my batteries are re-charged, I will go back into the woodsy area and go 'hunting'...which means digging! |
 |
| I'm getting close to my Mommy, aka petcretary... |
 |
| Yup, I nosed my way under her arm, and now I am in the bliss of a good cuddle...ahhh! My ears are down, cause I didn't like that thingy she held in front of me...she says it's how others get to admire me, BOL! |
Petcretary provided the teaser image at Teddy's Teaser Class this past Tuesday, and wow, it was a stumper as no one guessed it, though there was a very close guess.
 |
| This is Lock 22 on the Trent Severn Waterway., Nassau Mills, Just outside of Peterborough, Ontario. |
 |
| She herself was late to class, because the professor tried to fool all of us by being quite late himself...anyways she got this badge to commemorate the occasion of being the guest teaser provider. |
Cinnamon from Cats-astrophic-Events has earned her Angel Wings and flown off to the infinite creeks and mountain streams she loves to play in at the Rainbow Bridge, where she joins those who 'went ahead', now waiting to greet her.
She will be greatly missed by her whole furmily, including all the kitties, and her newly adopted sisfur, Nutmeg.

Words of sympathy and comfort would be appreciated over there, if you haven't already done so.
Since every one of our furry ones are awe worthy we are joining up to the Aww Mondays blog hop.
Petcretary is working this weekend...she works every other weekend. So we are keeping pawppy company...and guarding the yard form all intruders, including the tree rats, and all the underground critters...*she* found more of our digging projects. Oops, we were busted!
Dalton is now official once again, as new tags were purchased after they got their annual shots (Actually tri-annual), at the vet last week. So now, with new name tags and bright new collars, they'll be all set!
Here is Walt. At the time these pictures (early July), were taken he was about 10 weeks old...by now he must be a lot bigger! What a calm little dude he was, visiting his Granny...He wasn't too sure about how to take a selfie, but when you're just a baby that's Okay, he'll learn! (He's a German Shorthaired Pointer)
 |
| Hi, I'm Walt and I am a GSP...I will soon be a lot bigger, just look at my paws! |
 |
| I am all ready to have a nap on my blankie! |
 |
| I am just a baby, so I need to take my nap... |
 |
| May I have that bone, Please |
 |
| Walt: I might be a wee pup, but see my bone?? Don't you know it's rude to bother me when I am enjoying my treat? |
 |
At Teddy's Tuesday Teaser class on the 6th, Petcretary was early and got in the door first along with Miss Ellen from 15&Meowing. |
 |
| We're joining up with all the other selfies at The Cat On My Head. Thanks Kitties Blue for being our hosts! |
The Rainbow Bridge has welcomed two more kitty angels...
Thankful to know they no longer suffer from earthly woes, but so sad for their families.
 |
| This is Angel Sampy from Kitty Cat Chronicles or here on Facebook Sampy was also the husband of Astrid, at The Cat On My Head |
 |
| This is Iris, a new foster kitten at The Blessing of Animal Companions |
I am thankful that I am able to make these mementos for these angels and many others...so we are posting this to the Thankful Thursday Blog Hop.
|
| Thankful Thursday |
We sure hope all you peeps that are in the cooker of late will get cooler temps and maybe some good rain to help the parched ground, too...and to help put out all those scary nasty forest fires, too.
What a crazy week we had here, the tree dude came and invaded our space a couple more times, to help with some 'snags', and fallen trees that were in the way...though there are a lot more, we hope to just get rid of the smaller ones. Of course that means that we need to be inside while he's here...phooey. If the weather is good, he'll be back on Monday, (the 5th), so we'll be cloistered inside again...sigh...
When he came one day early in the week, he took the corner too close and his truck tried to go through the fence instead of the gate...Huge OOPS:(
Now that gate needs to be replaced because it's so bent out of shape it won't open/close properly anymore...at least we do have a second gate for large vehicles...but petcretary told the man, 'Don't you DARE wreck that one', BOL! Maybe she'll deduct the price of replacing the gate from the charge for the tree work. Hmmm...
Life...stuff happens...
Anyways here are our selfies for this week:
 |
| Not too bad...a Benji likeness |
 |
| This Dalton wannabe didn't quite have it right... |
 |
| Well heck….I was RIGHT with my guess on the Teaser of July 30, 2024 but I was NOT FIRST RIGHT!!!!!! |
