At least.......not yet.
A friend of ours has such a huge heart and takes in all sorts of orphaned animals.
However, this time, I think she took in more than she could handle.
A neighbor had been having problems with an adult skunk spraying their dogs. The neighbor went out and shot the skunk not knowing it was a mama skunk and she was only spraying to protect her babies from their dogs. Once he found out that there were babies, he felt bad and wanted to find a home for the babies. So, naturally, he thought of my friend.
She invited us over the other day to come see the babies.
Oh, my, lord. Are they ever cute!!!
Light had no fear of picking them up. (yes, that is blue stuff around her mouth...think blue snowball).
Yes, she's kissing a skunk.
I love where I live. Simply love it.
Later,
He passed away on Friday, June 18th. 15 days after his companion of 13 years passed away. I hate that we were on vacation when it happened, but he couldn't have been in better company with my mom watching over him.
That little girl that you ran from for years is missing you so bad right now. You were her J.D. and she is in such heartache for you. The way you went from not wanting anything to do with her to not wanting to be with anybody BUT her was amazing.
I will miss that sudden dip at the end of the bed when you would jump up to snuggle. I will miss the way that you would MEOW and demand that I feed you. I will miss that particular little chirping sound you would make when you would spot a bird. I will miss your soft fat belly and your long, long, long legs. I will miss the way you would allow Light to dress you up as Tinkerbell and pretend to make you play the piano.
You are in our heart baby boy, now and forever. Go and play with J.D. I know that's why you left us. You just missed him too much.
Love,
Lead Celestial Being: On my count of three......1.....2.....3.....
Massive Choir of Celestial Beings:
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday dear Mama Dawg,
Happy Birthday to yoooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!
Lead Celestial Being: Oh, my, choir......that was truly magnificent. A special performance for a special lady. Let's see now, how old are you today Mama Dawg? 33? NO, that CAN'T be right. You don't look a day over 27!!! What is your secret? And my dear, have you lost weight? No? Well, it certainly looks like it. I've never seen your hair looking better and your skin is as smooth as a baby's, well, you know what. Oh, and the Powers That Be want me to tell you that they wish you a very Happy Birthday as well. You know how rare it is to get them to notice anything, so to be acknowledged by them on your very special day is truly an honor.

On a more personal note, this is what I woke up to this morning!
My own personalized cake. With a hidden Mickey made out of cherries!
Light had a friend spend the night last night and this is what they did for me. I woke up to cake and birthday cards and singing.
And yes, I just did a whole post dedicated to me on my birthday.
Cause I rock!
Later,
My darling baby boy. I am going to miss you so much. You brought me so joy and so much peace.
From the first moment I saw you, I knew you were special. And I wasn't wrong.
I will miss the way you purred so loudly, you sounded like a motorboat. I will miss the way you would sit so Zen like with your front paws crossed. I will miss the smell of your fur and the way you would kiss me when I rubbed my face against yours. I will miss your little pink paws and your orange tipped ears. I will miss the way you would stare directly at a fly on the wall even though you had no eyes. I will miss the way you would meow for me to pick you up and put you on the bed when you could no longer jump up. I will miss the way you would snuggle down in a blanket until you were completely covered up.
You were pure magic.
Love forever and ever,
