Happy Memorial Day

What Heroes Gave

by Roger Robicheau

Each donned their uniform to be Defenders of our liberty Their mission sure, their spirits bright Guard freedom’s home, be brave to fight One final day each faced their call Each gave their best enduring all We’ll never know what they went through But know they loved this country true Deep down inside we should all feel What heroes gave, their cost so real We must stay thankful, grateful of The gift of freedom through their love Their loved ones bore the gravest pain What we can’t know, some now sustain To God I pray their pain will cease And each will find long-lasting peace Remember this from year to year What heroes gave – shan’t disappear We’ll never let their special day Their time for honor slip away These brave fought for a nation free If not for them, where would we be? ©2004Roger J.

Floofy Friday with Ellie

Even though it's only been one day, Ellie says she hopes Daddy misses her. Just to make him miss her even more, she's showing off her fabulousy floofy tail! Miss me yet Dad????

Travel Thursday...I tried....

I really tried to keep Mom from going. After all, I'm a BIG ManCat and I was sure she wouldn't be able to get her suitcase out from under me. I miss her already.

What's that you say Sniffie????? HAM????? Auntie El's going to give us HAM??????? BYE MOM!!!

Wordy Wednesday - Sniffie and Dad have a talk

So Dad, what did you want to discuss with me?????

You and Mom are going away for your Anniversary? NO! Please don't go....I'll be so sad...


Auntie El will be here? Extra Treats? Lots of Ham? Even more Pets? Can I pack you bags????

Toys Tuesday with Ellie and Allie

We'll admit, we've been purrty upset since we saw those big travel boxes come out. Then we heard Auntie El was going to be here to take care of us. Auntie El is pawsome! She brings us HAM, and toys and treats....did we mention she brings HAM?

Here are two toys that Auntie El gave us for our birthday. They're really FUN!






pee ess - did we mention HAM?????

ManCat Monday with Tamir

See that big red thing behind me? I'm never a happy ManCat when I see it. We think it has magical powers because Mom always disappears when it comes out of hiding.

Happy Birthday to ML Sherwood!!

"Today, Sunday, May 23 is the BIRTHDAY of our very own, very special ML (ML Sherwood... of Missy, KC & Bear blog,

and mom to the Sherwood Kitties, the Sherwood Bunch... all 6 of them).

Should anyone not know, ML is the one who keeps our Cat Blogosphere running, day in and day out... a full time

(and un-paid) job! She remembers the birthdays and the gotcha days, always keeps up with posting for those who

are in need of purrs & prayers, and remembering those who have crossed the rainbow bridge. She helps all of us

who run special events & contests & fund-raisers... and posts our announcements about things going on 'round the

blog world. She is devoted and dedicated, not only to her own six kitties... but to all of us, to our kitties, our woofies

and to us, the "humans".

Please stop by her blog and wish her the Happiest of Birthdays!
