The Adventures of Periwinkle and Stinky

 

Periwinkle sat quietly by the Teleportation Tunnel, her paws folded neatly beneath her. The house felt a little different today. It was the anniversary of Angel Raz's journey to the Rainbow Bridge, and memories of her beloved friend filled her thoughts.

The Tunnel gave a low rumble, and with a WOOSH, Stinky stepped out, carrying a small bouquet of fresh white daisies tucked gently beneath one paw.

Periwinkle's ears perked up, and she exclaimed, "Stinky!” She hurried over to him. The two touched noses before exchanging several soft whisker kisses. She said, “I’ve been waiting for you." Stinky smiled warmly and gave her front paws several gentle pats."I know today is a difficult day, sweetheart."

Periwinkle lowered her eyes and said, "I miss Raz every day."

Stinky nodded.  “I do too. He was a wonderful friend. I brought these for him." He held up the daisies, and Periwinkle smiled and  said, "They're beautiful." Stinky said, "I thought we could place them by his memorial before our Adventure. I wanted to make sure we took time to remember him. Periwinkle leaned against him and gave him another whisker kiss saying, "That is very thoughtful of you."

Stinky wrapped a paw around her shoulders, and they headed to Periwinkle’s Mom’s office, where Angel Raz’s urn is.

The two sat quietly together for a moment.

After a few minutes, Periwinkle reached over, gave Stinky's paw a gentle pat, and said, "Thank you for understanding." Stinky returned the paw pats.  

With one more hug, Periwinkle said, "I'm glad we did this. Now we need to start our Adventure for today!"  Periwinkle explained that they do this particular Adventure every year, but it remains impawtent to share.  Stinky agreed and added, "I can't believe yesterday was the beginning of hurricane season.  What are the names this year?"  Of course, Periwinkle had the list ready!

Both were relieved THEIR names weren't on the list, but they also giggled because their friend Teddy's name was on it.  

Of course, they had the usual reminders, such as making sure you have enough food for your pet which they knew Periwinkle's Mom ALWAYS had.  Stinky added "Don't forget the TREATS!"

Plenty of water is impawtent too.  "Periwinkle said you should have one gallon of water for each person and pet for at least three days.  Stinky agreed hydration is impawtent.

The tabbies both agreed that your PTU should be handy and it's a good idea to keep them out so you don't get scared when you see it.  Reesie was glad to demonstrate how comfy you can be in a PTU.

A generator is a good idea...

And a propane burner to cook on is too, but don't forget to have the propane too!

Batteries are necessary for certain things.  Periwinkle told Stinky that last year, the Trout Talkin Tabbies mentioned solar-powered lanterns.  Her Mom found them on Amazon and bought them...

Having done more research, Periwinkle had a checklist of things to have ready for your pet...

Of course, knowing the difference between a watch and a warning is helpful...

Periwinkle went on to say, "Hurricane season is nothing to be afraid of if you're prepared. Before a storm arrives, make sure your family has food, water, medications, flashlights, batteries, and supplies for every pet in the house." Stinky added, "We also help secure loose items outside, bring patio furniture indoors, and make sure everyone knows where to go if conditions become dangerous." Periwinkle agreed and said, "Everyone who might be affected should pay attention to forecasts and listen to local officials. A little preparation now can make a big difference later." 

They both added, "And don't forget your furry family members! Make sure they have identification, carriers, food, water, and comfort items ready to go. When everyone has a plan and a supply kit, they can face hurricane season with confidence. Prepared, informed, and looking out for one another—that's the best way to weather any storm."

The tabbies were getting tired, so they decided to take a quick nap and then have a snack since they had all those treats available.  Before it was time for Stinky to leave, he visited with Periwinkle's fursibs and her Mom.  Once again, he told them how sad he was about Angel Raz's angelversary and how happy he was that he was lucky enough to know him.  They shared one more whisker kiss, and he entered the Teleportation Tunnel.  The Tunnel shook and, with a WOOSH, he headed home.  Periwinkle went into her Mom's office to nap next to Angel Raz, admire the flowers, and think about her thoughtful fiancé.

An Angelversary and Monday Sparks

Two years ago, our sweet ManCat Raz became an Angel.  We miss him so much.

Our Monday Sparks...

 Even though McGuffy's reader is taking a break, we are continuing our Monday Sparks posts!  From the original Sparks posts:

Welcome to Sparks. Many years ago, it was my intent to post an inspirational thought each Monday. It would be my weekly meditation, and perhaps feed other people's spirit as well. Life got busy, and this fell by the wayside. Now, I feel a strong need to bring this feature back. 
The negative energy in the world has become thick and oppressive. Social media has become a part of this dark, negative storm. There is an obvious universal need for more positive energy and peace. And, we can all be part of this affirmative change. 
I believe we are meant to be lights in this world. If we allow our light to shine, we can see where we are going. It is then that we can begin to truly see each other clearly. Together, we can light up the entire world!
I hope you will join us. Please link up a positive quote, thought, poem, or verse. The badge and code can be found in my sidebar. Add the badge to your post to invite others. The more, the merrier. I welcome your thoughts. Peace.

Happy Birthday Angel Raz Caturday Cat Art

 Today would have been Angel Raz's 12th birthday.  He went to the Bridge way too young.  We really miss him.  We loved the way this turned out even though it doesn't look like him. 

We made a puzzle for you too!
