Anyone remember........................
BlueBird ? Or maybe Cheryle ? Well, she sure remembers all of you !!!!!
I've got to admit that you are a pretty hard bunch of people to forget !!!! And I mean that in a nice way in case anyone wonders. (BTW, before you wonder if I've forgotten how to spell and stuff like that, my computer crashed a while ago and the guy who got it back up and running........ Well, that's a long story. Let's just say that I no longer recognize my own computer !!! One of the many things that were removed was my Spell Checker !! So, sorry about all the typos.) I'm no longer able to get to the computer very often any more. I keep hoping that will change and I'll be back able to come play with all of you again. I'm not giving up on that dream. I have two newsgroups that I hold dear and would like to be able to stay in touch with. This one is at the top of that short list. (G) I think that Joy probably kept you all up with the saga of Little Bit and the fact that she lost her battle with Kidney Failure on Feb. 11th, 2005 at about 8:15 AM She made it a year and 4 months longer than the vet ever thought she could live !! In fact, after the fact he told me that when he told me she would maybe make it 4-5 days it was a BIG stretch. He didn't expect her to make it through the ride home and I only lived about 5 minutes from his clinic. I put her on, according to instructions from my herbalist, Tammy, the alternative meds. She made a remarkable turn around very quickly too. Of course there were a lot of prayers that went up for that tiny little cat !!!! God gave her back to me for that remarkable year and 4 months. We were always very bonded and close, but those last months were even more so. I was so blessed to have that extra time with her to say good bye. It took me a few weeks before I was able to even think about getting a new kitten/cat. Grief for Little Bit just kind of over whelmed me. Thank goodness with the help of God, a lot of special friends and the fact that home is not home for me without a kitten or cat. I'd have 5-6 of them if I were able. Instead God blessed me with a 10 week old feral cat who was rescued by the Friends of Ferals here in Alabama. She went to a foster home after being thrown away along with her brother at the tender age of only 2-3 weeks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was only due to God's protection that she made it to be rescued. I'll tell you more about the amazing story of Shadow if I'm able to stop in again in the near future. She is black as was Little Bit, except she is totally black. No white or silver at all on her as most black cats have. I wanted so to send you a picture of her, but I know you don't do that here in this newsgroup. So I'll settle for just telling you about her. It took her two days, I think or maybe less, for her to decide that I was 'safe' and she climbed up into my lap. From that day to this she has never stopped staying a close to me as she can get, even at night when we sleep. Nor has she stopped making me laugh !!!!!! I've never had a cat in all my years of having cats that played like she does...... almost 24/7 !!!!! She goes from one thing to another and plays with every single toy I've ever bought over the years..... even those that none of the other cats liked ! But naturally her very favorite toy is the FREE white plastic strips that you tear off the top of plastic bottle of say orange juice. She throws them all over the place and then proceedes to 'stalk' them !!!! You know how dangerous a plastic tear strip can be ! LOL She is smart as a whip too. She taught herself to 'fetch'. She will start out by throwing the strip, stalk it and then bring it to me by laying it right at my feet. She loves it best when we are in the bedroom (funny as Little Bit loved that room the very best too). If I head even in the direction of the hall that goes to my bedroom, she flies down the hall and into the bedroom, jumping into the middle of the bed. She loves playing 'fetch' in there. She will go at it for an hour, if I don't wear out. She runs and gets it, lays it near me and I will 'shoot' it across the room flicking it kind of like boys used to with marbles with the thumb and middle finger. You should see her face when it lands on the dresser, inside the dirty clothes hamper etc..... places either she can't get to or isn't supposed to go !!!!!!! Anyway, I've jabbered long enough. Besides the pain is beginning to tell me to get back to bed. On the subject of Shadow I could go on for hours and do when allowed to do so. Sorry to carry on so. There is so much that has happened since we last talked I'd never catch up. I just needed to send a post to all of you to tell you how much I've missed all of you. I especially want to tell all of you how you absolutely MAKE my holidays with your cards and letters !!!!! You cover my walls and when I have days like today when I start falling into the dark hole that the holidays usually bring because they bring back the grief of losing my son - I just look at my walls which tell me that I'm cared for by so very many online friends !!!!!!. I miss him so during the holidays. Well, always, but it's more so during the holidays which are supposed to be for families. So I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for doing what you special people do best....... you're supportive !!!!!! I'm blessed to be even a small part of this newsgroup even though I can't get here any more. Heck this message took 6-7 sittings before I finally got it done. Oh yes, and please ignore the typos as I don't have my Spell Checker due to problems beyond my control. I wanted to tell all of you, no matter what holiday you are celebrating, "Happy Holidays !! And may 2006 ( however can it be 2006 already ????) be even better for all of you than 2005 was !!!!" Gotta go............................... Love ya, Cheryle aka BlueBird |

... BlueBird ? Or maybe Cheryle ? Well, she sure remembers all of you !!!!! Bluebird! Its so good to see you here! I was really sad to here about Little Bit when she went to Rainbow Bridge. She was a fighter, and so are you! But its also good to hear that Shadow was sent to look after you so quickly after Little Bit left. Your faith & love for life not to mention your dogged (or should that be catted) determination not let things get you down is an inspiration. *Hugs* & *Purrs* Yowie |

Dear Cheryle, thank you so much for telling us about how you have been.
We have missed you, but we know you cannot stay long at the computer. So the update you wrote is even more special. We are very happy to hear your kitties are taking such good care of you. We are sending lots and lots of purrs and best wishes for you to be able to stay at the computer for a bit longer each day, Polonca and Soncek Bluebird wrote: BlueBird ? Or maybe Cheryle ?
