For my BJ....
On a very sad note - we lost BJ last night. She crossed to the bridge around 10PM, on her on accord, at a time of her choosing, in her home. I will cry a thousand tears for her, and miss her terribly. She was my friend, my morning alarm clock, my whack-a-thon cheerleader, my snuggle bunny. Fly free little one, you will be forever missed, forever alive in out hearts.




Good Morning LL!! ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) (YUM - the good stuff today!), and Happy New Year's Eve!

Hey kitties!!! It's here - our New Years Eve party! Everyone is invited! We are at Rusty's barn. I will pick you up in the Kitty bus, and will have warm hats, mitts and scarves for everyone. Also, there will be hot toddys on the bus and when you get here. Rusty has invited the deer family to party with us. There will dancing and singing and eating. Rusty says we'll be able to watch the village fireworks at midnight. So come to ring in the new LL year. ~~ Mannie

Yesterday was a great day for Mannie - almost a repeat of the day before. We had a mini bonce in the morning, with the rest of the day spent as a nice slide down to the blues. This so reminds me of the Mannie I used to know who would clear the bounces in a day. I hope we are back to this pattern. Paws crossed! You did well Mannie. Good job, big guy! cat_pet_icon

All is well in MannieLand. Mannie has been on nanner guard duty for most of the day. It was really cute earlier when BJ tried to sleep on one of them. He let her have it - all day long. He'd never do that before - I found it very touching that he did yesterday. She had a good hug for a while. :-D :cool: :cool: what a kind final gesture on behalf of the Nanner King. We had a great test feed shoot this morning: lots of purrs and head rubs from the Nanner King. Breffis was consumed with gusto - still at warp speed, clean plate club status maintained, the auto feeder continues to be used (YES!!), and well yes, once again Elsa did raid his auto feeder... :roll: What else is new there. :shock: :roll: :roll: and for the first time ever I can not write: Normalcy in MannieLand. It just isn't... not today...

Have a great day everyone - do it for yourselves, and those furkids who mean everything to all of us. Today will I lay my girl to rest.

and on a positive note, and in memory of his sister Chef Mannie is ready to roll for one rocking new years eve party. ROCK ON KITTIES!
Hey everybody - I want to thank all you kitties who came and made my sister's last day as great as it was. She wanted us all to celebrate today, have some fun and good foods for her. She says she wasn't scared or nuthin', cuz she knows the bridge is a wonderful place. She promised me she'd look up Master Chef Stu as soon as she arrived. Cool huh! So for my sister, I will cook up a storm tonight. For you BJ! I will miss you!

Re: 12/31 Mannie AMPS 131, +1 141 ~~ BJ, fly free little one

(((Michelle))), I am so sorry about BJ but I know it was comforting to you to have her cross on her time and in her own home. And what a sweet thing for Mannie to do. He is always so obsessively protective of his nanners and for him to let BJ have one is truly a wonderful moment. Many hugs and prayers.
 
Re: 12/31 Mannie AMPS 131, +1 141 ~~ BJ, fly free little one

(((Michelle))) my prayers are with you. I'm glad she found her way while in the love-filled comfort of her home. Bless dear Mannie, that couldn't be sweeter.

Fly free little BJ, land softly. wings_cat
 
Re: 12/31 Mannie AMPS 131, +1 141 ~~ BJ, fly free little one

Awww .. I am sorry to read this .. I know how much BJ was loved .. I know she is already organizing a kitty choir over the rainbow bridge .. Fly Free Sweet One ..
 
Re: 12/31 Mannie AMPS 131, +1 141 ~~ BJ, fly free little one

((((((((Michelle))))))))) My heart is breaking for you. BJ was meant to be yours and I know she's with you in spirit. I loved hearing about her whack a thons and keeping everyone in line even as she got older. I know the others in your family will miss her also. I am keeping you close to my heart. Sending hugs and love.
 
Re: 12/31 Mannie AMPS 131, +1 141 ~~ BJ, fly free little one

Oh (((((Michelle))))) I'm so sorry to read about BJ. But what a wonderful gift that she crossed at home wrapped in the warmth and love she was familiar with. Fly free sweet BJ, you will be cherished and missed.

Very nice AMPS for Mannie, looks like he's on his best behavisr getting ready for the big partry tonight! If Jetta behaves today (so far so good!) I'll let her go too. But, since she's a Florida girl, she'll need extra wamth, so I'll pack her favorite blanket.
 
Re: 12/31 Mannie AMPS 131, +1 141 ~~ BJ, fly free little one

(((((((((((((((Michelle))))))))))))))) I sounds like a peaceful passing and a beautiful one. BJ wanted to be home. Holding you and your family in my heart.

Mannie, she's gone? That was so nice of you to share a nanner w/ her. I know it made her feel better. We will see her across the veil tonight. I bet you will hardly recognize her , she will look so happy and healthy. If the party goes all night (and you know it will) I will make BlackJack Flapjacks in her honor in the morning. -- Tess
 
Re: 12/31 Mannie AMPS 131, +1 141 ~~ BJ, fly free little one

((((Michelle))))

I'm so sorry to read about BJ's crossing. Our kitties sometimes do decide when it is just too much -- maybe for them or maybe for us. I'm sure all of BJ's furry family will miss her as so clearly you are missing her. Our sugarkitties and civvies alike are at the Bridge to offer BJ welcome and keep her safe until you are reunited.

Fly free little one and land softly.

Re: 12/31 Mannie AMPS 131, +1 141 ~~ BJ, fly free little one

(((Michelle))) So sorry to hear abut BJ. My heart and prayers go out to you. You had a feeling that she was ready to go, and she chose the time, place and decision for you. How nice she went at home surrounded by you, her brother and sister. That is so touching for Mannie to share his nanner with BJ as I'm sure she was comforted by it. The pets know when their sibling is sick. Sweet BJ is at peace and no pain and you will see her again. Lots of hugs to you.

Mannie, thanks for sharing your big sis with us, and how thoughtful she wants us to have a good time tonight. We will see her tonight thru the veil. The menu is to die for, and I can't wait for the party at Rusty's barn. See you at the curb, Maggie
 
Re: 12/31 Mannie AMPS 131, +1 141 ~~ BJ, fly free little one

(((Michelle))) Many tears here for you and your family. I'm glad she passed on her terms in her home surrounded by love and all she knew.

There is a bridge of memories
from earth to Heaven above...
It keeps our dear ones near us
It's the bridge that we call love

THE EULOGY
Look not where I was
For I am not there
My spirit is free
I am everywhere

In the air that you breathe
In the sounds that you hear
Don't cry for me Mom
My spirit is near

I'll watch for you
From the other side
I'll be the one running
New friends by my side

Smile at my memory
Remember in your heart
This isn't the end
It's a brand new start

Fly free BJ on your new golden wings, land softly wings_cat

I'm so sorry to see that BJ has earned her wings. She saved you from making that very tough decision but it seems no less hard to let them go. Hugs to you all, and scritches to Mannie who is being very good with his cycles for you.

I'm so very sorry to hear about BJ...another special angel has joined the ranks. We've got you in our thoughts and prayers.
 
Re: 12/31 Mannie AMPS 131, +2 117 ~~ BJ, fly free little one

Michelle,
We'll share a BIG LOOOOOOONG HUG today and wish our babies a safe happy journey. Altho' I hate that you lost BJ but at least she was able to go at home where she was comfortable and used to the sounds. Having to take my SweetPea to the vet to help her just broke my heart. Fly free sweet Baby...

Mannie - it was so special to let sis have your nanner yesterday. You're a special guy too with a very special MamaBean.

Fly free dear BJ....until we meet again..... rb_icon
 
Re: 12/31 Mannie AMPS 131, +2 117 ~~ BJ, fly free little one

Hugs from us, Michelle. So glad to hear that BJ was able to go on her terms, as heartbreaking as it is for you and the furkids. Will be keeping you in my prayers and close to my hart as you mourn the loss of your special girl.

Re: 12/31 Mannie AMPS 131, +4 101 ~~ BJ, fly free little one

Hi everyone - I wanted to day a heartfelt THANK YOU for all your posts. As difficult as last night and this morning have been it is so comforting to read all of the above. You guys, and this LL family of ours, are simply the best. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. She has been laid to rest now, with her toys, and the nanner that Mannie gave her yesterday. It was wonderful to see him go and say goodbye to her late last night: extremely touching. He will miss his sister. Fly free little girl!

Re: 12/31 Mannie AMPS 131, +4 101 ~~ BJ, fly free little one

(((((Michelle))))) I'm so so sorry you lost your precious BJ. She was thinking of you until the very end, taking the most difficult decision out of your hands, and going on her own terms, in her own home, surrounded by the love of her own family. I hope that gives you a bit of comfort. What a doll Mannie is to give her a nanner to take with her. I'm sure he and Elsa will miss BJ very much, as I know you will. Shedding tears with you, sending big long hugs, and keeping you close in thoughts and prayers. I'm sure there will be a huge loving welcome for BJ at the bridge, and quite the celebration tonight, with Chef Stu cooking up a storm.

Mannie's looking good today! Muffin would type a message, too, but she's already waiting at the window with her bags packed to go to Rusty's Barn!
 
Re: 12/31 Mannie AMPS 131, +4 101 ~~ BJ, fly free little one

(((Michelle))), I'm so very sorry to read of BJ's passing. She loved you so much, she went to the Bridge, in her own time, to spare you the agony of having to make that final decision.
I'm so pleased with Mannie, for letting his sister have his precious 'nanner. Aren't animals amazing, with the instincts they have!
Your little sweetheart is gonna teach our angel babies all about wackathons. What a fun time they will have at the Bridge, with her there.
I'm sorry your loss, Michelle. wings_cat

((((Michelle)))). I am so sorry to hear about BJ. Tears are flowing for you and the whole family. She was deeply loved and gave you the gift of not having to make the decision for her. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers today. Fly free sweet BJ!!!

Hey Mannie! I'm so sorry about your sister. Maybe tonight at the party we can sing a special song that only she can hear. The menu sounds great and I can't wait to spend New Years Eve with all my friends. Love, Tarragon.
 
Re: 12/31 Mannie AMPS 131, +5 104 ~~ BJ, fly free little one

OMG Michelle....we are so, so sorry. I can't believe this and am heartbroken for you. I know how much you love that sweet, sweet little girl. I am so happy, though, that she chose the time and place and to be with her beans as she
transitioned. She must have been so much sicker than the vets thought. We hold you and DH close in our hearts. Gentle journey, BJ. Candles to light your way.

Hi Michelle,

I'm so sorry that your sweet BJ had to leave you. You must have such a heavy heart today. Fly Free Sweet BJ. Your Mama's going to miss you very much. Thinking of you.

cat_and_candle.jpg


I too was touched by the story of Mannie giving up one of his nanners for her. That was a very selfish act on Mannie's part.

BTW nice #'s for Mannie. Glad his bounces are clearing faster.

Oh boy Mannie am I ever ready for the New Years Eve Bash!!! The activities sound awesome and the menu is the cats meow!!! Pick me up anytime I'll be ready. This is going to be the bestest time ever!!! See ya soon. Sammy

Dear Michelle, Mannie, and Elsa,

We grieve with you on the loss of your dear BJ. We know how much she will be missed and how much she is loved. Fly free, sweet BJ, and know that there are many friends waiting at the Bridge to welcome you.

In deepest sympathy,

Ella, Edward, Rusty, and Stu (GA)

Michelle, BJ had a wonderful, long life with you and she knew it was her time and she chose to be at home when she passed. What a fine kitty. Don't be surprised if you still hear her wake-up call every morning. She will never be far away.

Love and hugs to you all,

Ella

The only thing greater than the sorrow of those left behind
will be the loving welcome and rejoicing of those who meet BJ on the other side.

Michelle, my heart aches for you, dear friend.

Re: 12/31 Mannie PMPS 299~~ BJ, fly free little one

Hi everyone - Wow - I am so overwhelmed by all of you and your posts. THANK YOU all, once again. It is so quiet in this house... her presence truly was larger than life. It is amazing how central it was to all we do here. It's been an OK day. I find myself oddly at peace. The day has been flooded with memories - all the quirky things she did. I really miss the whack-a-thons. :lol: thanks again everyone for thinking of us.

Mannie has had a good day today - a very nice blue surf in the morning, at least for part of it. I look forward to seeing what he will do this evening. I had hoped for a lower pmps, but well... yellow is yellow, and I'll take it! Have a great evening every one. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Phew finally my bean lets me use the 'puter... I've been waiting forever! Sheshhhhh!!! anyways - hey everybody, it's me Mannie, reporting live from Rusty's Barn. This is one cool party, so come on down - the night is still young, cuz well.... we party cats are partying all night long! Tess says she is making flapjacks in the morning : Blackjack Flapjacks - how cool is that! So hurry on over - we is just getting started! soon it will be time for the fireworks, and you don't want to miss that!! Psssttttt - Sammy: I am so glad you will be coming. That is so cool! ~~ Mannie ~~ And for all of you that came to see my sister before she crossed I thank you from the bottom of my four little paws, and my heart.

Michelle, I am so sorry to hear of BJ's crossing. It's nice to know she went peacefully, surrounded by love in her own home. Mannie is an absolute doll for sharing a nanner with her to comfort her and spending the day with her.

Mannie, thanks so much for picking us up today. It's a great party and was a great bus ride! You're such a good, safe driver. Glad you didn't run into any of those old Loooooooo-weeeeeeeezy-annnnnna banjo pickers out in the woods coming to get us! Tink & Tawny
 
Re: 12/31 Mannie PMPS 299, +4.5 302 ~~ BJ, fly free little o

Mannie: Time to come down off that pink floor for the party. He started out so nice today!!

Hope you are having a quiet evening at home reflecting on the wonderful memories of BJ's life and all the joy she brought you. We lit a candle for her on the gratitude website.

Mannie...we heard from our GA sister Teddi that she is going to light the way for BJ and be there to welcome her.
 
Re: 12/31 Mannie PMPS 299, +4.5 302 ~~ BJ, fly free little o

No, No Mannie. I'm not up there any more, i found my way down. So it's OK, you can turn around anytime now. Please? -- Tess
