Thought for the day ……

Good morning and welcome to Thursday the 23rd day of July, 2015.

The sky is dark blue to the south and I can see the sun peering over the houses and shining brightly on my neighbour’s garage.

This morning while I was putting on my makeup – Alvin stood by the register – looked down – barked – kept starring down.

Sniffed …. took his hunting posture.

He did this for a few minutes and then gave up.

Oh, please GOD that it only have been a bug …..

It is with a heavy heart that I write these words.

I have mentioned on several occasions about my neighbour’s cat, Miss Aussie.

Miss Aussie passed away yesterday.

She had some health issues, and in the end just stopped eating.

Miss Aussie lived a great life.

Her favourite treat was “halibut” ….. yes, her Momma would buy her that fish.

She loved it …..

She kept us all hopping, literally …..

She would always swat at me when I came to the house.

Alvin loved her even though he never was able to get too close to her.

I will miss seeing her sitting on the living room ledge watching the world go by.

She really was a beauty ….. so pretty.

Gorgeous long hair.

After six years of being her neighbour, she was finally starting to warm up to me.

One time when I was watching over her while her Momma was away, she jumped onto the sofa and sat about two feet away, I was so excited that I could barely sit still.  This was huge for Miss Aussie.

Another time she walked right up to me, and did not take a swipe.

She was definitely a one woman cat.

Her Momma loved her so much and will miss her always.

Me and Alvin will miss her.

All those who knew her will miss her, too.

We loved you Aussie ….. we love you.

Miss Aussie,

Born 1999 – 2015.

Rest in Peace our friend.

Special Hello to: all those folks who lost a beloved friend, a family member in their pet.

Always, Carol and Alvin

Thought for the day…..

Good Morning and Welcome to Wednesday, the 13th day of March, 2013.

It is a great day here in Edmonton at the home of me and my Alvin.

Mid-week …. day after my girl’s 33rd Birthday.

It is strange how animal’s internal clocks work.

Since the time change on Sunday … Alvin has been sleeping until the alarm goes off.

As we turned our clocks ahead …. he still thinks that it is 4:00 and that’s the time he usually wakes up.

He’s so cute.

The past few mornings he has also taken to wanting up on my lap as I write in my morning gratitude journal.

He is far past being a “lap dog” but I love the attention and cuddling with my boy.

So I stretch my legs out on a neighbouring chair and it works.

So on this mid week day I hope that you are finding something that you love to do or someone you love to be with to start your day.

Happy Wednesday.

Remember smile and be happy ….. every time you think of something/someone you love ….. smile and your “happy register increases tenfold.”

Gotta go …..

Thank you for sharing in my thoughts and stories.

Have a great day.

Special Hello to: THE WORLD ….. thank you.

 

Always, Carol and Alvin
