Dr. Seuss Day 2023: Mudpie & Grandma

Meows from Mudpie!

I think we chose the purrfect Dr. Seuss quote this year to reflect how I feel about the time I spent with Grandma. I loved her to pieces, and she thought I hung the moon. 

Things didn't start out so great when Mommy adopted me though. I was so crazy pants that more than once Grandma said she thought maybe Mommy had made a mistake. I ended up being such a purrfect angel that she changed her mind fast! 

One of the last things Mommy told Grandma before leaving the ER the night she passed (not knowing that it would be) is that she would give me an extra kiss for her. I wish we'd been able to have one last cuddle at home, but I'll never forget the happy hours I spent curled up on her lap.

Can you see how much I'm smiling in this photo?

Mudpie you have such beautiful memories of your grandma. Both you and your mommy will never forget the wonderful times all spent together. Every cat so wonderful cat and your grandma figured that out very quickly. We're so glad she did.

Mudpie, mine Mommy just uttered a bad word. Why, because the minute she saw the photo ... the words, the quote your Mommy placed there, well her eyes got all misty and wet.

Somehow, in the midst of all the giggles of Dr. Seuss day, it seems we may have forgotten that he, along with many other children's authors of poetry and stories, shared that "sweet spot" with us as well. Reminding us all, young and old alike, with the most simple of words, of those precious moments in life that are to be treasured and
remembered. Such simple moments, often brief, not to be thought of with sadness, but with joy.

Thank you. A most moving posting.
