Monday Mancat Memories: Way too much snow!
These are various snapshots from February 2008; I see we had A LOT of snow that month! (BTW, we have way too much snow in February 2023 too!)
The boys were young and adventurous, of course--and always happy to be inside and cosy too. In order: Derry, Nicki (king of the hill), Nicki on the old couch, Derry having catnip play time, and Derry doing his impression of king of the hill. (Though Nicki did that better!) 💖
Next time I'll post from March 2008. It's fun, but very bittersweet, to look back through the old photos. I hope the stars align so I can adopt another fur baby at some point. :-)
BTW, thank you all for your thoughts and prayers regarding my mom and dad. My dad has had heart arrhthymia for a number of years, well managed (and he's quite healthy and active), so when he told me that he has CHF, I was taken aback. It's my mom who has had health issue after health issue all her life; Dad's always been robust and, in my little girl's mind, ageless.
But this is just life--none of us gets out of it alive. Both my parents are in their early 80s, and I know I'm blessed to have had them with me this long.
In the end, there's nothing to do but laugh--genuinely laugh--at the absurdity of life.

Enjoy your folks, how lucky you are to have a mum and dad.
Brrr on the cold Feb
Feb has been too warm here in Dixie and we are told to brace for the 2nd and 3rd week of March since currently the weather maps show a very cold snap.
As you can keep us posted on your parents.
Hugs Cecilia
Great photos of the boys, and the king of the hill ones made me smile. What a pair!
Having aged parents (and whose aren't when we ourselves are no longer young (sigh)) can be very distressing. It is just life, but I don't care for what life throws at us sometimes. My best thoughts go to your mum and dad.
I do hope the stars align for you, so you can adopt another furf baby at some point! :)
Those images and their stories do soften my pain...
Hugs,
