2/14 Loose Lips: Happy Valentine's Day!

[Josie & Ripley (GA)]

I want to wish all of my LL Kitties and Beans a wonderful Valentine's Day!

Sending hugs and vines and kisses to all in need ♥
I hope Rex is recovering well from his dental, and I hope all kitties are eating well, peeing, pooping, preening, playing, and purring ♥
Happy Birthday to Gabby, Happy Annifursary to Tarragon, and Happy Birth Day today to Marje and Mike's new grandbaby ♥

All is good here. It's already/only been two months since I helped Ripley fly free. I miss her with all of my heart and soul. But drooler Marley and civvie Smokey are keeping me busy, as well as my preschool and kindergarten students at work. This is the first time I've been in a one-cat-household ~ there will be a new feline addition (additions?) someday, when I'm ready...

It was Valentine's Day last year that DH and I administered Ripley's first sub-q fluid treatment ~ we were so nervous, but Ripley was so calm and allowed us to continue the fluids for the next 10 months. (She must've taken cues from our favorite youtube kitty, Marje's Gentleman Gus.) I actually miss the routine of giving insulin shots, fluids, tests ~ they became wonderful bonding times, important daily rituals. But I bet my girl and her GA cousins are enjoying a special treat today of chocolate fondue with all of their favorite treats. (Mmmmmm... chocolate-covered shrimpies... :? :lol: :lol: )

A while back I took this photo of Ripley and thought it would be a perfect Valentine's Day pic ~ I was standing above her, called her name, and she looked up at me with those big, round eyes of hers ~ I couldn't help but add hearts around that priceless, inquisitive mug:

Please give your Sugarkitties hugs and kisses and scritches from me and DH ♥♥♥♥♥

Happy Valentine's day. That is such a sweet picture of Ripley. I hope Smokey and Marley continue to give you and DH lots of loving until you are ready to bring a new furbaby to your home.

Happy Valentine's Day Josie!! What a sweet post. I love to see pictures of Ripley and know there is a huge kitty size whole in your heart right now. Someday you will be ready to fill it. I can't imagine a time without watching the clock to give a shot. Big huge hugs for you Josie. ((((HUGS))))

Happy Valentine's Day, Josie!

I adore that picture of sweet little Ripley - she looks so gorgeous surrounded by your love! It's hard to believe how quickly, and how slowly, time passes when one of our babies crosses the bridge. I can understand missing the routine...most "outsiders" wouldn't understand that, but caring for a sweet little kitty on that level is just such a special honor.

I like the sound of "additionS" - when you are ready, of course! When our GA Mr Kitty crossed the bridge just over 11 years ago, we were going to adopt 2 kittens...we ended up with 4. I'm just sayin' ;-) !! No doubt, when the time is right, Ripley will send you the sign(s).

Many hugs from us...and thank you for continuing to visit! You are always, always part of our family!!!

Josie, that is such an awesome picture of beautiful Ripley. It makes perfect (purrrfect?) sense to draw a heart around her sweet face . I know how much you must miss her :YMHUG: . One day, when you are ready, another kitteh or kittehs will adopt you and find one of the best beans they could ever have. I hope you and your DH...and the two fur-sweeties-have a wonderful Valentines Day!

 

[Anne & Zener GA]

Ohhhh.... that is the most perfect Valentine photo of Ripley. What a sweetheart and what a wonderful bean. :YMHUG:

We are so glad to read about how you are doing. One of these days a kitty needing lots of love and with lots of love to give will find you and adopt you furever.

Josie :YMHUG: :YMHUG: big hugs from me and Katie, and Happy Valentine's Day weekend. I love that pic of Ripley, such a sweet face. She had such awesome expressions, and you really caught that one. I love the visual of Ripley and all her GA cousins enjoying a Valentine's Day party with chocolate covered shrimpies.
Scritches to Smokie and Marley.

What a beautiful photograph of Josie with her sweet face looking up at you.

I am sure she will 'send' some loving kitties to you when you are ready, so be on the lookout! cat_pet_icon

What an adorable picture of Ripley! I miss seeing her sweet face - Thank you for sharing your Valentine memory, Josie♥
It is so true that this FD process is such a bonding experience, I never would have thunk it :smile:

 

[Michelle and Mannie (GA)]

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY Josie! I am sorry I missed this yesterday, one of those days when I think I missed everything! :roll: ;-) I love that photo, how very cute. Your comment about missing the morning routine of tests and pokes and shots really hit home. It is so true isn't it. I still think of it when I get up everyday. Mannie was the first thing I tended to in the morning. it was our special bonding time. Mannie and Stu and Two Chef's Kitchen are no doubt perfecting those chocolate shrimpies! It is nice to read all is well with you.
