Missing Louise and Sofie a lot these days. Sometimes grief sneaks up on you when you are not even thinking about it. Maybe it is because Halloween would have been Louise’s 13th birthday and Sofie would have been 12 on Thanksgiving. I know that Sir Charles misses them too. He doesn’t play with any toys since Sofie left last March. He always wanted to be near her and play with whatever she would play with, even though she was not always the kindest to him.
Mini Cooper has taken to Louise’s bed and blanket in the living room now that the days are colder. And even Jolie has been sleeping on Lulu’s bed on occasion. I knew if I left it, someone would move in. I did take away the other big bed because the ‘Littles’ mostly sleep on the couches and I was able to reclaim some floor space.
Maybe the tilt of the globe in the fall has me on a tilt. I am missing Mr. Nine, the cat, too, who also passed last March. We are thinking about a kitten possibly for Mini. She misses him terribly and takes her anger out on poor Noel (who is going to be 16). With only one male animal in the house (Charles) maybe a little boy kitty will balance out the energy. Don’t you think its time for a kitten?
Have a wonderful Black and White Sunday. Enjoy the changes of the season.
Just another DogDaz morning at the zoo ❤

There are so many older cats waiting for adoption and some of them adjust to dogs really well or come from a home where dogs were around. With an older cat (adult, but young) you will know what you get. Kittens develop and might turn out differently to what you hoped they would be.

We would love an older cat however, with three older cats at the moment, we are not sure about the integration of an older. That is why we are considering a Kitten

Oh, I am not talking about a senior cat – adults who are 2 or 4 are still young, but no kittens.

A new kitten is always a good idea. Nine will help you choose, I’m sure. Just listen…..
Love and licks,

Our human mommy is thinking of you. Grief is a sneaky thing. She’s been missing Harper Lee more the last few days. Maybe it’s the “firsts” without her: the first Halloween, the first trip to an LSU football game, the first trip to St. Francisville, which Harper Lee loved. Great love brings great grief. Unfortunately, it’s the price all humans who open their hearts eventually have to pay, but they open their hearts again and again.

Thanks for sharing. We remember Harper Lee fondly. Yes, the 1st are the hardest. Time heals all wounds, but sweet memories last forever.
