I'm pretty sure this is the first time any of the Muttley Crew have been so honoured. The Downunder Gang get awards far more often - usually Ra. I suspect the Diary Gal at Catster has trouble ignoring his adorable face.
The Diary Picks always kind of surprise me - none of us are regular writers. Just a bit now and then it something worth talking about happens. And even then sometimes we don't get around to it.
What a week - first my cat brofur Ra was Cat of the Day on Catster, then I discovered I was Ruler of the Week on Rotties Rule, and then it was International Talk Like a Pirate Day, me hearties. So lots of celebrating and pawty going.
Which kind of made up for the fact our family had three Bridge anniversarys in the last month. You always get the highs with the lows, and vice versa.
Anyway, I thought it was great that HQ had a free pirate flag giftie to celebrate Talk Like a Pirate Day. There is nothing nicer than being able to send gifties to ALL your furrends.
Hope everyone had fun running scurvy knaves up the mast, or keel hauling them, or whatever. Evidently, October 14 is Talk like a Trucker Day. I'm not sure I know how a trucker talks? Does anyone?
It is with great sadness that I report that Satiba AKA The Bunny (#324480) went to the Rainbow Bridge yesterday.
Those who knew Bunny can tell you what a wonderful, funny Princess she was - kind heart, loving, always ready for a game, and with a love of life and her family.
Our thoughts and prayers are with her loving pawrents at this sad time.
I Remember
I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying. You found it hard to sleep.
I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
"It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here."
I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea,
You were thinking of the many times your hands reached down to me.
I was with you at the shops today. Your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.
I was with you at my grave today, You tend it with such care.
I want to re-assure you, that I'm not lying there.
I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key.
I gently put my paw on you, I smiled and said "It's me."
You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair.
I tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing there.
It's possible for me to be so near you everyday.
To say to you with certainty, "I never went away."
You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew...
in the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.
The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning
and say "Good-night, God bless, I'll see you in the morning."
And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side.
I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out... then come home to be with me.
