Beautiful job, as always, my friend -- G'morning to ya :-)

[dutchess]

Many of our Finest regulars know that Codee has been a contributor on a FinestFRPet biweekly thread. It is with bittersweet feelings to say that she passed on to Rainbow Bridge this week. She lived a long, what we hope, was wonderful life and...in her memory, think what she would love is to pay tribute to all our Finest Pets who are waiting for us at Rainbow Bridge...Please stop in and, if possible, take a moment and share a memory and/or picture or two of those who are waiting for you.
please freepmail any of us in the heading if you would like to post a picture and are not sure how to do it...been there done that!)

[dutchess]

Goodmorning to you John. Love your tagline today. I can only imagine your 2 cents tomorrow LOL!

Tell Codee to look up Ginger. She will be easy to spot - she'll have a ball in her mouth, waiting for me to come and play.

Good morning Dutchess.

How beautiful!!

Not knowingly, there are times when we may take them for granted because they are always there... by our side. When they are gone, we still hear their tags clanking together or the sharpening their claws on the furniture.

Thank you for reminding me how fortunate I am that all my pets are well. Without them, there are days I would be a basket case. Of course, there are days I'm a basket case because of them. :-)

Backatya, my friend :-)

Good morning FRiends, wonderful job as usual Dutchess, My Gizmo has been gone 2 years and I still miss him. Our pets are as precious as our children, they even take the place of children when you are not blessed with them.

Coffee's on

I've been missing my Tinkerbell an awful lot. It's been a year now, but - darnit, can't stop crying. I am so sorry about Codee. What a beautiful face.

You did a beautiful job Dutchess. I love the Rainbow Bridge, but it always makes me sad...

I don't have a scanner or anyway to get this picture of Tinkerbell to you, so you will have to use your imagination.

She was just skin and bones when she found me. I heard a dog barking outside and went to look and there she was. She had a collar on with a little bell and that is how she got her name. Somebody had dropped her off, abandoned her.

For the first week she stayed on my bed except for using the bathroom. Finally she decided to come out and see what the rest of the apartment was like. We had two cats already, Tweety Bird and Bud Boy who had moved here with Momma. Little did we know that both Bud and Tweety Bird were due to leave us within the year.

As Tinkerbell gained her health back her beauty became more apparent, she was a soft blue grey color with the sweetest expression on her face and big eyes. She had longish hair and a great fluffy tail and was small and dainty.

The picture of TinkerBell that I'm looking at was taken when Momma walked into the living room and saw where she was lying. She was draped around a picture of Garfield that said "I'm not just another pretty face."



Tinkerbell adopted two boys - Sam and Murphy - so that they wouldn't have to go to the pound. Both boys were Burmese but Sam was black as the ace of spades and Murphy had the standard blue eyes and chocolate markings. She was a good mother to them. Later we had a fourth join us - another female name toy a Himalayan. She and Tinkerbell were good friends.

When I moved, I had to find a place for all but TinkerBell. She was getting on in years and the landlord said that I could keep her, but the others had to go. I miss them all but most of all I miss Tinkerbell.

When Momma died, she jumped up on the bed, licked Mommas' cheek and then rounded the other cats up and took them to the back bedroom. Sometimes, I think that she was human.

[JohnHuang2]

Coffee is wonderful this am.
