Tara & Truffles...Forever Loved, Forever Missed

 

Today marks the 10th anniversary of the day my baby girl Truffles flew off to the bridge, and the 12th anniversary of the day her big sister Tara paved the way before her.

It goes without saying this is the hardest day of the year for me. Comprehending the tragic set of circumstances that took Truffles from me far before her time is something I will always struggle with, and most likely something I will never be able to accept. She deserved so much more from life. And the fact that I lost them both on the same day two years apart makes me wish I could scratch this date right off the calendar.

In honor of my precious girls, please give your own fur babies a little something special today. Maybe an extra hug or kiss, a few more minutes of play or cuddle time, extra treats wouldn't hurt either.

Our time together is so fleeting; their fragile lives all too short. Never miss an opportunity to show them how much they're loved.

Mo is Melting Too

Yo! It's Mo!

I keep hearing that prissy pampered housecat Mudpie complaining that she's melting in the house.

If she thinks that's bad, she should try taking her afternoon siesta in the driveway! I'm melting too.

 

Hey, did I just hear a can open in the kitchen?

*** Note from Melissa - Mo has plenty of shady spots and cool grass in the yard, plus fresh water nearby at all times. He just sacks out in the driveway when he wants a snack. ***

I Grew a Horn #SundaySelfie

Meows from Mudpie!

See that single white whisker over my left eye? It just appeared in the last week or so. Mommy says Angel Truffles used to get one white whisker there periodically too and she would jokingly call it her little devil horn.

But I'm 100% angel. Mommy agrees.

A Real Doozy #PetPhotoFails

Meows from Mudpie!

Thank you for joining us for this month's edition of the Pet Photo Fails blog hop!

How is everyone surviving the heat? We hit 99 on Monday and 96 on Tuesday...in northern Vermont! HISS!!! 

Mommy is living for the fact that Halloween is starting to hit store shelves, and Christmas in July is right around the corner.

Our blooper this month is a real doozy, and a total Mommy fail. When she found it on her camera roll we laughed and laughed. I see one of Mommy's fingers, her legs and feet...and oh yeah, there's a Mudpie there somewhere too, but I can't even tell if that's my head or butt! 

Mommy's trigger finger obviously had a mind of its own when this one was taken...

That's our blooper...let's see yours!
