I have heard you speak of your cat. She must have been a sweet one..he/she, didn't know which. LOL~~~

Oh, he was So Sweet, One of the Sweetest Kitties I've ever had; just a Wonderful Friend. He Always Let my Little Bitty, Undersized Female Cat, named "the Toy," Boss him Around; she Used to Slap his Face Everyday, Lol. She would have her Claws Sheathed, though, because her Bark was Worse than her Bite.

Meg, I Love your Doggie Gif; just Precious! He Looks a Lot Like my Doggie! : )

I have been in the kitchen baking cookies, 6 dozen molasses ginger cookies, for a cookie exchange tomorrow afternoon. They are also my favorite cookie and I’m suffering giver’s remorse. You know like when when you’re a kid and you give a better present than you get. lol

[kalee]

That would be wonderful with my freshly baked cookies!

OLD FASHIONED GINGER COOKIES

1 1/2 c. shortening
2 c. sugar
2 eggs
1/2 c. molasses
4 c. sifted flour
4 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. ginger
1 tsp. cloves
2 tsp. cinnamon

Cream shortening with sugar. Add eggs and molasses and mix well. Add baking soda, spices and flour. Work dough with hands. Roll into 1 inch balls; roll in sugar. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.

Makes about 72 cookies.

I can almost smell your cookies baking. Yum!

And I do know what you mean about giver’s remorse. When I buy a present for someone, I always want one just like it...LOL~~ And here I am still craving something sweet. And you have all those sweet cookies. I need to get to the store very soon!

He does resemble your Doggie, Kitty!Thank you and jaycee for your sweet gifs..I just downloaded that sweet angel yesterday, jaycee..I may send it back to you.
;o)
That kitty is very laid back, Kitty.*grin*
I have had my two most beloved kitties die in my arms..I thought I would never get another pet..too much pain..but I finally did and am willing to risk the pain because they are good for me. My daughter in law said recently when I was sort of explaining “more” kitties..”I think it’s wonderful! Pets make you live longer.” They are considering a second dog now.
It is a very personal decision, however.

I didn't Think I would have Another Pet, but then Doggie Suddenly Showed Up One Day on my Doorstep, and she is Such a Joy. I'm Thankful for her Companionship Here on my Shepherd-King's Ranch. (And you are So Right, Dear Meg; they are Good for us. Having Doggie to Care for and Look After is a Blessing.)

[MEG33]

I am so sorry, pollywog..I pray that God guide your beloved sister’s medical providers and give them great skill and wisdom..so that she may return to full health.

[MEG33]

I agree..Caring for them is a blessing!

[JustAmy]

Polly, you and your sister are in my prayers.

Father, please guide the medical team as you hold Polly's sister in your healing embrace. Amen.

[Kitty Mittens]

I'm Sorry to Hear this, Dear Polly, and will Lift your Sister to the Throne of Grace in my Bedtime Prayers. (((((Hugs)))))

Goodnight, Dear FRiends, and God Bless.

Still, still, still,
One can hear the falling snow.
For all is hushed,
The world is sleeping,
Holy Star its vigil keeping.
Still, still, still,
One can hear the falling snow.

Sleep, sleep, sleep,
'Tis the eve of our Savior’s birth.
The night is peaceful all around you,
Close your eyes,
Let sleep surround you.
Sleep, sleep, sleep,
'Tis the eve of our Savior’s birth.

Dream, dream, dream,
Of the joyous day to come.
While guardian angels without number,
Watch you as you sweetly slumber.
Dream, dream, dream,
Of the joyous day to come.

Thank you Polly...I thought the little kitty praying was sweet as we all love kitties and critters here at Amy’s.

Oh, I am so sorry for hear your news about your sister. We need to pray very hard for her. Please keep us informed and we will remember you also.

[jaycee]

Thanks so much, kalee!

[jaycee]

My angel is your angel, Meg! I would be flattered to get it back~~LOL~~!

I do fully understand about pets and health. They truly say they are good for your health, especially blood pressure. Who knows, one day I could make that choice of a pet again. One may come upon the porch and look at me with those pretty, sad eyes and my heart would melt.
