Poetic Thankful Thursday

 Before we start our regular posts, we want to take a moment to remember sweet Angel Allie who left us on this day in 2020.  We never knew her, but Mom misses her a lot.  We know she is at the Bridge with her husband, Angel Mauricio, and our other Angels


Today is Poetic Thursday hosted by our pals Teddy and Angel Sammy at Two Spoiled Cats

Today's photo prompt is

The Gondola Ride

A floating dream in Venice,
A grand romantic trip,
Until the gentle rocking
Snoozed the entire ship!
The gondolier just grins and rows,
Enjoying quiet, peaceful views,
While both his sleepy passengers
Enjoy an expensive snooze.

Mom says this is why they say not to wait till you're too old to enjoy traveling!




Today is also Angel Brian's Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
                                   

We're THANKFUL that Angel Allie was with us for 18 wonderful years.  Noelle is THANKFUL for everyone who wished her a happy birthday.  She had a fun day and enjoyed aome extra Churu!

Java Bean: "Ayyy, better to fall asleep on the gondola than to get motion sickness, which is probably what our Dada would have done!"
Chaplin: "It's wonderful to see beautiful Angel Allie and her oh-so-boopable nose!"

Mom has always loved that photo of Allie. We cannot believe she and Mau have been gone six years now. We are happy that she and Mau are together. Mom knows it is unrealistic to wish they could still be with us, but she does. Mau was a really personable and good cat. Unlike some others we could mention. Sending lots of love, hugs and purrs as you remember your precious girl. XOCK, angels Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid & Sawyer, Lisbeth, Calista Jo, Cooper Murphy, Kizmet, Audrey, Raleigh, Gibbs & Tali

I thought that was the most fun picture! The Gondolier made it more so with the expression o his face.
