First of all the snow settled on me....
... and later also on the street where we are staying with our lovely friend Janet.
At least Gail remembered to pack my new boots.
I think you'll agree they make for interesting paw prints.
If you followed Gail's footprints instead of mine, you would see she has been making lots of trips to the hospital to see Human Granny.
Last night she cuddled me close and told me that my beloved Human Granny has enjoyed a fine, long and interesting life but that it is now drawing to a close.
I did feel very sad, but then I remembered my important role as 'Cheerer-Upper in Chief', and bounced around until I was rewarded with a smile.
These are 'special' times when a life well lived is to be savoured. Strength and peace to you and yours.
ReplyDeleteYou are in all our thoughts Gail. Extra hugs with Bertie. X
ReplyDeleteBertie it is so good that you are there to be with your Gail... we send hugs and lots of potp...
ReplyDeleteHugs and POTP from us here, too.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Inca and her Human. xx
We are so glad that you are there with Gail to share this special time with her. Muzzer says that Gus and I helped her stay sane through the last long years. We helped her clean out the apartment, we cuddled her every time we had the opportunity, even when Dad came to visit us. We let her cry into out furs, and when the time was right, we were chief clowns to help people move away from the sorrow and bring some smiles. Much love to both you and Gail.

Bertie...my goodness good buddy..seems your lovely Nottingham has taken on an Arctic life. Yikes. I'm so glad you have your boots with you and can leave your print where ever you travel and big PLUS you are not having sore paws because you sure do need them well so you can give Gail extra hugs and take her on walks where she can think and clear her mind.
ReplyDeleteMom and I think of you and Human Granny and Gail each day with love and kitty purrs and we send peaceful thoughts to Human Granny

Such a sad time. Glad you are there to give cuddles and cause smiles. Can't believe the snow. Harder as we've returned to summer with temps of 39°C.
ReplyDeleteWe send you warmth (not that we have any as it was 3-legged dog cold) and love at what we can only imagine is a most difficult time. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteBertie, I’m very sorry to learn that dear HG is nearing the end of her journey in this realm. It’s a true blessing that you are there to comfort Gail. Gentle hugs to you both.
ReplyDeleteBertie you have an important job right now, Gail needs your cuddles. We will keep you and Gail and Human Granny in our prayers

Such a Special WFT you are young Bertie. We cannot ask for more than a life well lived and Human Granny has done just that. HGY has brought joy to us all who love hearing of your adventures with her and she has brought up the wonderful Gail. Please give them both a hug. Strength and courage and remember the good times.
ReplyDeleteOh Gail try and let the support of others comfort you. Try to focus on all the memories of good times and silly times. It’s in the natural order of things as the Lord made us. Hold Bertie we will keep you in our prayers.
