Tonight, around eleven o’clock, it’ll be two years since Cat died. A macho boy, he revealed his softer side in his love of flowers. Carnations were his favourites, which meant I haven’t had any for years. I suppose a bunch of them would be a fitting tribute to him
When I get home from my last poetry class, I’ll quietly raise a glass to him tonight, but on Sunday I’ll remember not just Freddy, but all the wonderful pets I have loved whether they have been mine or other peoples. And I’ll think about the wonderful MasterB too.
It has been a joy to know that the last two years many many people around the globe have joined in with this remembrance. I have heard so many lovely stories, and it is a very special feeling to know that people I have never met, as well as people I know, are lighting candles and remembering loved pets, and I hope this year even more people will join in. If you are new to this, last year’s post may interest you.
Isobel (and Cat)'s Blog 
Ted and I will be raising our glasses, too!
Great. Spread the word!
CH and I will be joining in Isobel! He is a gorgeous boy and I always love seeing him with flowers!!
I bought some carnations in his memory. Fortunately MasterB does not share Cat’s love of nibbling my cut flowers.
Count David and me in the glass-raising too Isobel…..I know what Cat meant to you……I know ever so well. I also know that I will be honoring all my former felines on Sunday along with many other people as we look back and remember those unforgettable furry faces, soft paws, and beautiful eyes full of love for their caretakers.
Hugs, Pam
And the naughtiness, sharp claws and cat fights!
I’ll be drinking a toast to Cat, Isobel. Our pets are defined by the love we have for them and the love they give unconditionally to us (ok. I’ll make an exception for food) and we can’t help but remember. 🙂
That’s a nice way of putting it Jan. Thanks. I’ll drink to your Rolls too. 🙂
I think we’re all there with you xxx
Good good! I’ll put a post on Sunday too I expect.
All here, too!
I wonder how many States will be joining in.
We are in!
how wonderful that you got carnations in rememberance of him
And even more wonderful that, so far at least, MasterB has taken no notice of them at all.:)
