Good morning, LL!! ☼☼☼
Sending vines to all in need today♥♥♥

Ripley is doing great today.
Most Ps are in place, and she's happily slurping her breakfast on her rocking chair.

Last night I was getting ready to go out with a friend. While rushing around the house, I'd stop and crumble a treat into Ripley's dinner, then continue to get ready. But Ripley was more interested in following me around than eating. I explained to her that she needed to eat her food, that it had important nutrients and vitamins to help keep her healthy. Then DH said that Ripley just wants me to be near her while she eats. So I took a break from rushing, sat near her bowl, and she ate until it was almost gone. I slowed down to be with my girl.
Ripley is my best teacher.

(Funny: Ever since I spoke with an animal communicator a couple of months ago, DH tries to convince me that Ripley talks to him; apparently, she tells him things like what we should have for dinner and which football team should be winning. "Ripley just told me we should have steak and potatoes tonight." "Ripley thinks that was a terrible play ~ and she's right." Last night he said, "Did you know Ripley swears like a sailor? It's true. She does." :roll: :lol: :lol: )

Your last paragraph absolutely cracked me up! I think DH is right, though....they DO talk to us!

Sweet Ripley, wanting MamaBean nearby so she could eat. My guys are the same way....on the evenings when I go food shopping right after work and DH is BIC, the kitties do OK with settling in for fuds, but not great. As soon as I get home, DH always says, "They've been waiting for YOU before they eat." And it's pretty true...once I get home, they settle in and chow down. It is so worth slowing down for them....I only wish I had more time than I do.

Have a great day, Josie!

Morning Josie

A beautiful start for Ripley today. it's good to see her being just Ripley, slurping and squawking.

I LOVE this, and it is ever so true. Mannie taught me the same thing. Those times were always the best.

I slowed down to be with my girl.
Ripley is my best teacher.

I love too the DH stuff, and that Ripley talks to him. Somehow that is just very cool. You swear like a sailor Ripley? Way to go: you so totally rock!

Have a great day Josie. I hope all goes well.

Hi Josie. Glad all is well with Ripley. How nice of her to remind you to slow down and smell the cat food. :lol: That must have made you feel special. Got a good chuckle when I read how Ripley speaks to DH, especially the cussing like a sailor part.

Have a great day.

Josie,

So cute how you say Ripley is your best teacher! I totally agree! Corduroy also tends to eat better when I'm hanging out with him :smile: Animals truly are a gift to our spirits!

And, I love that you took Ripley to an animal communicator!

Have a great day!

How sweet Ripley wants to be near you while she eats. I wish we all had more time to slow down and spend with our furbabies.

How funny that Ripley talks to DH. :lol:

Re: 11/15 Ripley AMPS 146

Hi Josie,
You are so right: we need to slow down to be with our kitties and enjoy their lives with them. Rusty always has food left in his dish (he's a grazer). Often, when we're watching TV in the evening I will get his bowl and put it on the couch next to us and he jumps up to finish his dinner.

Neat that your DH communicates so well with Ripley!!

Have a great Friday!

Ella & Rusty

Looking pretty flat-ish there, girl...
She's basking in the backyard now ~ she's one content kitty out there

Hi, Amy I truly believe our furkiddos talk with us, too. Unfortunately, my DH seems to have one-sided conversations with Ripley :lol: . So sweet your guys wait for you to come home to chow down. All is right in their world when mama's home .

Hi, Michelle Truly an amazing journey we're on with our sugarkitties, filled with technical and life lessons :smile: . I somehow don't believe sweet Ripples cusses; she's just to kind for that (unless she has a 'wild side' tucked in there somewhere ;-) ).

Hi, John It's good to see you ~ welcome back! So true: we all should "stop and smell the cat food" more often ;-) :lol: .

Hi, Brigitte You said it so well: our animals ARE gifts to our spirits. :smile:

Hi, Carla I agree, we all could use more time to spend with our kitties. I keep trying to convince my DH I'd make a wonderful stay-at-home kitty-mama ;-) ...

Hi, Ella I love that Rusty likes to eat with you guys on the couch. Ripley's a snacker, too ~ we have to keep a close eye on the 'predators' (hoovers civvie and drooler).
