My Christmas Kitties: Brutus, Shadow, Sniff

 Memories are like bullets.  Some whiz by and spook you.
  Others tear you open and leave you in pieces... 😿

It's just four days until Christmas.  Once again COVID 

news is dominating the world.  Just when you think 

everything was 'OK" a new variant comes out and

 "ruins" everything.  I no longer watch the news.

When it comes to our Brutus I am biased.  Pretty sure 

I always will be.  After all he is my baby.  There will never

 be a day a memory of Brutus does not cross my mind.

 Shadow just had one Christmas with us. Lately I have

 been thinking a lot about him, and I get very angry.

  Moving on sometimes is easier said than done. 

 I want to scream an throw things, but I haven't.

Sniff is our little rascal.  He like all the other

kitties is very pampered.  He has us wrapped around

 his little paw.  Just like Brutus and Shadow did, 

 and we love it.  We love him.  My little Sniff. 

I love Sniff like crazy. He is the most gentle and the

 sweetest of kitties.  Life without him would definitely not be

 the same.  He makes every moment of every day better.

No one can ever take your memories from you, each day

 is a new beginning, make good memories every day.

You may not think you have a good memory,

but you remember what's important to you.

Memories may fade as the years go by but they won't 

age a day. When tomorrow comes this day will be gone 

forever, but I shall hold something which I have traded

 for it. It may be no more than a memory, but if 

it is a worthy one I shall not regret the price...

Memories ~

Every man's memory is his private literature...

 Sometimes I stop and think, and I don't think 
we were always fair to our little Shadow.

He came into our lives just a few days after Brutus died. 

 Neither of us were ready to love him like he deserved, 

 But I know I loved him.  Maybe I could have loved

 and tried more, but I know I loved him. I did.

He was just so little so innocent.  He did not deserve to

die the way he did.  I may say I have moved on, but a part

 of me has not.  I will never be able to completely forgive the

 person who was supposed to take care of him, and didn't.

There is an anger in me that erupts every time I think of it.

 I look back and I know I never did anything wrong. 

 Shadow had everything he wanted and needed in those

 few short months we had him.  I even cooked him chicken 

breast and minced carrots because he had allergies.  Everyday

 he had home cooked meals, and he loved it a lot.

If there is a kitty heaven, I hope Shadow, Brutus, Reba,

 MacGuyver, Buddy, Lil Mister and my Tiger are playing 

together.  I hope they know that I think of them a lot.

Life goes on.  It waits for no one so just remember,

Enjoy good memories. But don't spend your remaining days

 here looking back, wishing for "the good old days

Sometimes the best memories are sad, because

 you know they will never happen again....
