3/18 Rebekah checking in to say hi

[Rebekah]

Hi there,

viewtopic.php?f=9&t=115207

Well, it has been a week since we helped Ole to the bridge. I am at peace, but very lonely. It comforts me to re read all of your well wishes from Ole's last condo and I revisit them often.

Alex and I went on our ski trip last week as planned. We were celebrating our 17th anniversary. Playing in the snow was cathartic for me, as you know, I love snow. I would cry on the chair lift up the hill, and then smile all of the way down the mountain. We were also celebrating our love and life together, with all of it's ups and downs. Our evening talks of remembering our past and looking towards our future together also was soothing to my sadness.

I worry about Loki, he misses his Ole so much. I decided to see if Fifi, the reclusive Russian Blue that lives in the garage, would be interested in moving back into the house to keep Loki company. It has been a process, but coming along. Fifi still hisses a bit at poor Loki, but not as often. I hope they will come to a comfortable understanding. In the meantime, Loki is constantly at my side when I am home and I give him plenty of cuddles and play time. Fifi also gets lots of lovin' when it suits her. She is a funny old bird.

My thoughts this morning are with all of you and your sugar kitties that are so dear, where ever they are in their FD dance.

Bless you,
Rebekah

Rebekah,

Hello and hope you are doing well. Hope you can get Fifi into the house. Would love to see pictures of her and Loki if you ever have time. That one picture of Fifi in Ole`s profile is hilarious of her peeking over the piece of wood. Hope Monster is doing well too. Have a good day.

Sending tons of positive thoughts that you can get the Russian Blue into the house without any problems. I'm glad you stopped in to say "hi", Rebekah. We miss you very much. You're an integral part of this family, and I hope that you'll come by more often. :YMHUG:

 

[donaleen and Ozy]

So glad to hear from you. I think of you often.

 

[PeterDevonMocha]

It's nice to see you checking in .. I hope in time Fifi decides to move back into the home and they can get along well ..

 

[Ella & Rusty & Stu(GA)]

Hi Rebekah,
I'm very glad that you and Alex were able to get away together. It helps so much to talk things out after the passing of a much loved kitty. And Ole is there with you, too, you know.
Good luck with Fifi and Loki. I hope it will work out.
We are glad that you stopped in and hope that you will visit LL often,

Hugs to you & Alex and scritches to the kitties,

Ella & Rusty

Thanks for checking in! So glad you got to have your anniversary trip to the snow and it was a positive time for you both. There is nothing like being outside surrounded by mother nature, to put all things in perspective, the cycle of life and so on. I am sure Loki knows you are sad and is also missing Ole. Somehow our GA kitties can communicate to those they leave behind and the kitties seem to know more that all is well than we beans do! Paws crossed you get Fifi inside as company for Loki, maybe Ole will whisper in her ear that she is needed in the house!

We are using Ole's vial now and Zener is having especially nice numbers, must be some magic love in that vial from Ole. :YMHUG:

Sure wish you and Alex could have brought that snow back to Flagstaff with you! I can hardly believe how dry we are, and now the winds are cranking up. :?

 

[Tara & Buster]

Glad you got to get away and are doing ok with Ole's passing. It's nice that you all have each other to get through this (beans and cats included). I hope Fifi and Loki can find a way to appreciate each other. We just have Buster left and I often wonder if he's lonely. We leave a tv or radio on when we're away. Maybe Ole will send a sign he's ok soon.

 

[Suzanne & Cobb(GA)]

So glad you are checking in! Hopefully Loki and Fifi can come to an understanding to co-exist peacefully.

Glad you had a great anniversary trip. The snow looks pretty when you don't have to shovel it yourself or worry about driving in it!

I know Ole is with you always. I'm sure he loved the trips down the slopes! :lol:

 

[Cleo & Jane (GA)]

Hi Rebekah,

I hope that soon tears will flow less - just more smiles when you think of your baby. :YMHUG: It takes a while for our souls to heal. I feel for Loki cat_pet_icon . Hope that Fifi accepts him as a good friend soon!

 

[Rachel & Chyna (GA)]

Hi Rebekah, it's nice to see you . I'm glad that you managed to get away and have some fun with Alex, it's good for both of you. Happy Anniversary from me . I know you have a kitty sized hole in your heart :sad: , and it's hard, so I'm glad you have eachother. I hope that Loki and Fifi can be friends, and am glad that they are around to give you cuddles cat_pet_icon . I hope you'll visit us often with updates :razz:

 

[carfurby (GA)]

Hi Rebekah. I know things are tough right now, but I'm glad you stopped by. I hope things work out with Fifi and Loki. :YMHUG: :YMHUG: Sending prayers to you and Alex.

 

[Wendy&Neko]

Hi Rebekah - thanks for stopping in.

It's great to hear from you. I'm glad you got some time in the outdoors - it's my favorite place to think and remember too.

Good luck with the Fifi transition. Scritches to Loki from us.

 

[Dyana]

Hi Rebekah. Thanks for the update. I'm glad you got some time away for a while.
I hope your two kitties can adjust to each other and even become friends one day.

 

[Rebekah]

Hello!

Thank you everybody, for all of your niceness! Really special.

I worked in my studio all day today and I am happy to say that Loki and Fifi shared that space with me. All 3 of us together, and in near harmony!

Today Loki was playing with Ole's crinkle balls, batting them around and making happy kitty noises. I wonder if one day he will begin to play fetch with them...

Thank you again. What a wonderful community Lantus Land is!

More blessings,
Rebekah

 

[Sienne and Gabby (GA)]

Why do I feel certain that Ole was looking down while you were on the ski lift?

I hope the pain eases and is replaced by only memories that make you smile.

 

[Chris & China (GA)]

It's wonderful to hear from you Rebekah, and all of LL shares your pain, as well as your happiness, and we're all thrilled to hear you got away and were able to have a good time, and rebond with Alex too.

I'm sure Ole will help Loki get used to Fifi in time...what a wonderful day it sounds like you all had!!

All in the same room without bloodshed is definitely progress! Plus playing with the crinkle balls sounds like Loki is starting to move on.

I hope you'll stop by and check in on us often. We miss you!

 

[julie & punkin (ga)]

it's so good to hear from you! i'm also thinking of you often and remembering Ole' with a smile.

i hope you will stay in touch - i especially want to hear about your Ireland run!

 

[Tricia Cinco(GA) & Harvey]

Hi Rebekah! I was so happy to see your post. I think of you often and pray for your healing heart. It is wonderful that you and Alex were able to get away and spend your anniversary doing things that make you happy. I'm sure you miss Ole all the time, but knowing he's at peace must help you, and not having to worry constantly if he's okay and are you doing the right things must give you some relief. I'm sure he's watching his little family from the bridge, and I''ll bet he's sending Fifi messages to get her into the house and into the circle of your love.

Please check back in often. Hugs. :YMHUG:

 

[Linda and Scooter & Jack]

Hi Rebakah!

I to think of you often. Scooter and I were chatting about Ole yesterday in fact. I miss reading about Ole. I hope the other kittys continue to help your heart heal. Keep checking in and keep us posted. This place is like one big family and you and Ole are a big part of the family!
