New Angels ~ Let Us Show Kindness To Their Family.

 Well, I was not expecting to have a real challenge of kindness today, but a member of a FaceBook group I am in posted tthere about the recent loss of two of her precious kitties.

 Some of us bloggers may remember them from our Catster days.

So Flossie, sister of Freddie, who was an angel long ago already went to be with her twin brother...and also the same family lost Wilf, a rescue kitty from their neighborhood,

While  I rarely post things in that group - (Caster Buddies), I do watch the doings there several times a month, and today I got that notification...so of course I got to 'work'

They do not have a blog, and I have no way to contact the lady, sadly enough, except through that FB group., which is also a private group...sigh...so you can try to access that link I provided, but it may come up unavailable.

Anyways here are the mementos I made in their honor.

Wilf

Flossie

If you think its a good idea, I can send all your comments to them by the good method of cut and paste, LOL!


Meanwhile, on Saturday night petcretary started to feel sick...and it became much worse over the rest of the weekend...so she got herself tested for Covid at her workplace...and you betcha, it was positive. Yikes!

So now she is quarantined for a few days..till the 15th. She will miss some work days, too...sigh...

She has a cough and sometimes sounds like us pups, BOL! She had a low grade fever chills and a sore throat. So far she can still taste and smell. Hopefully it won't get worse, but  will clear up quickly. POTP to our Petcretary!

Well, its not quite wordless, but we are joining that bloghop anyways, BOL!

Selfie Sunday!

 Wow, the week just flew by and here we are again, with Selfie Sunday!

It is Pet Dental Month, and our Angel MJF has an old flashback selfie to show you all, it was taken in 2010! Eons ago! He was a dude who had a lot of fun with posing...our present pups are not so much into that sort of thing, BOL!

Don't forget to brush your choppers!! ca 2-2010  MrJackFreckles was about 8 years old when this was taken.


Petcretary had to make herself an avatar for a website she uses in her work, so here it is...its sort of silly, which goes along with her philosophy of making her residents laugh...so we all can have a good day.

Petcretary is silly!! BOL!

Well, we've been inside a lot, its has been very cold, with near zero F temps at night, and it's about 10F here right now...with a good breeze to make things feel colder. Brrr! But the glorious sun has been showing up each day, since Groundhog Day on the 2nd...that silly rodent said we'll have 6 more weeks of winter, and we think he might just have been right this year, BOL! But we'll take the sun, it makes nice sunpuddles to warm ourselves in.

Here are our 'stay inside' Selfies:

I'm trying to nap, petcretary...this is my stinkeye/leave me alone selfie...


Hi, Petcretary! Are you typing my memoirs??


 

We, as a blog, were honored to be in the list of top 'Cat' Blogs, at Bionic Basil's Blog...well, we used to have kitties, BOL! We do love them in our treasured memories, esp Petcretary and Pawppy.

Blogville had to say a sad goodby to the well loved and famous Jakey last week...

In Memory of Jakey

A few days ago, Jakey from The LLB Gang  became a New Angel at the RB, By now he must have met up with all his furblings who were there before him...young and healthy again, as are all the RB Angels.

Sweet and precious Jakey was almost 17 years old. Just imagine all the wonderful memories he has made,  that now his parents can cherish, and keep close in their hearts. Even so he will be greatly missed, by both his family and all of Blogville, he was well known and loved by all.

Jakey



Petcretary: Since all these mementos that I make are quite the labor of love, we will join the Feb Challenge.

Also Wordless Wednesday, since love that is true and runs deep doesn't need words...though we did put several in our tribute to Jakey.

Flashbacks from Warmer Times!

 Petcretary is working so we are doing a flashback...to a nice warm summertime day, BOL!

We had a lot of snow, starting this past Wednesday, and more came down each day after that...we are getting our comeuppance from all the non-wintry days we had  after that big Christmastime storm...sigh...We hope these kinds of days will return really soon! Maybe that groundhog will help us out later this week, BOL!! Right now as this is posting, we are under a winter weather advisory...we might get snow and freezing rain...Blech! Later in the week we will get very cold with the daytime temps in the low teens...Brrr!

Late Spring 2020

Early Spring 2019; Dalton's second spring with us.

Early Spring 2019, Benji was still a puppy, and still had a lot of growing to do! It was his first spring!

Here is another fun GIF petcretary made of one of the Sandhill cranes that frequent the grounds, (where she works), from spring through early fall. This was a youngster, and he was 'attacking' a fallen tree branch!! It was fun to watch in real life...


 

 

Sadly, earlier, last week, Emmy from 15&Meowing became an Angel Kitty. Her memorial post is here.

 

 And while we are black and white such as are tuxies, we are not cats, and none of us Angel Meezers was a tuxie, either, MOL! Today IS Tuxie Catt Appreciation day...why is that special?? Well there are/were four of them at The Cat On My Head,  our hosts for the Sunday Selfies!

You can visit the Tuxies selfies, by clicking this caption, and there likely will be plenty of other Tuxie kitties there too.
