  • Short, but oh so sweet

    Some may say there was not enough time to know you


    I know I may be too emotional


    But how can I not be


    Any one would be


    If they had the chance to know you


    You came into our lives


    Like it was meant to be


    It was as if God wanted your last days to be oh so sweet


    You showed us your personality


    We did not even have to question or ask for it


    Just for the few days we knew you


    We knew that you were a great soul


     


    I hope you feel that your last days were great


    And that knowing us was even greater


    I pray you dont dwell on your pain


    But instead on your time when you nuzzled me in my arms


    I know I will remember


    All the little things


    That made you who I fell in love with


    When I first saw you


    And your great spirit shown like a sunrise


    Melting my heart ever so gently


     


    God must have known your time would be short


    And that you needed to be thought of


    More than just an animal


    But as a child


    That must be why I thought of you


    So much and never could stop


    And I could not wait to hold you again


    He must have known I needed to give you


    A lifetime of love in just a few days


    And that must be why he chose me


    To capture you


    And care for you


    And show you love


    That only an emotional person could show


    You and I must have been in Gods plan


    Together showing each other that Love is great


    And love is so possible


    And so connecting


     


    You and I


    Will always be connected


    Even if our days together were numbered


    You have shown me that I must appreciate


    All the little things


    Oh all the little things


    You were so little


    So frail


    So Loved


     


    You know if I could


    I would have protected you


    From all the harm


    This world has to show


    I would have chased away


    The bad and only given you the good


    But I couldnt


    And for that I am sorry


    So sorry


     


    You will never be forgotten


    You were so Loved


    So Loved

  • Well, we went to IHOP on saturday night and there was a cute little kitten outside that was running around and then came to the glass door wanting to get in. He actually looked like Chris old cat Fizzy. So we went in and ate and didn't think another thought about the kitten. Then, when we were leaving our waitress was outside feeding the him scraps of chicken fried steak. It wasn't very much and he was acting like he was starving. So the waitress said that was their cat. So I went to leave and she said your welcome to take him. Really!!! So Chris was like, well, they are feeding him here. So I was trying to talk him into it and telling him that he would strictly be an outside cat. While deciding, I picked him up hoping that he would be nice and he did not hesitate the attention. I was afraid he was going to run when I tried to pick him up but he loved being picked up and petted. Finally, Chris agreed because it is a busy business area and busy road so we decided the kitten would be better in our neighborhood. He did wonderful on the trip to the house. He was not afraid just curious. I was a little afraid that he would run off and Chris was hoping he would so someone would give him a good inside home. But, if he was to run off I would be so paranoid as to whether he did find a better home or not. He hasn't run off though, he hangs around waiting for us to come outside so hopefully he will keep staying. I would of course love for him to be inside and it breaks my heart to keep him outside, but we already have two spoiled rotten cats inside that we pay to get fixed and such. Plus, my cats now take over my house and I sometimes think they are the owners. LOL. Another big plus, we did some major cleaning to our house this weekend and the amount of hair that we vacuumed up from our two cats is horrible. We could have made a sweater out of it. Anyhow, I think we agreed to call him smeagle. He is very skinny and malnourished and has a bob-tail that is kinda crooked looking. But he is the sweetest thing ever. I am thinking he will look alot better once he is on a regular kitten food diet. Has to better for him than chicken fried steak.


    Here are some pics.


    He loves to play and follow me around
