Thursday #267- A Thursday to Remember.

[RICHARD]

Hi everyone!

I thought a little somber Thursday was in order. Nothing too dark, just a little moment to think about the Rainbow bridge and all the loved ones that have made the trip.

Tears are O.K., stories better and a few cyber toasts would be quite all right!

I know we aren't supposed to be too serious here at the bar, but I thought one day out of the year would be nice just for remembering....


Belly up to the bar, we have kleenex, hugs and a nip or two!

DONE!

Sadly this is a fitting Thursday's, as we just found out that they are taking one of my co-workers off of life support.

I'll take a large Irish, and a moment to reflect on a singularly stubborn dutchman.

and a moment to reflect on a singularly stubborn dutchman.

Hmmmm ... Now I wonder if maybe Bowser was "Dutch"?

Fur Sure that boy had a bit of a "stubborn streak" not very well hidden under all that Fluff!

Selective Hearing? ... Honed to purfection! ... The ONLY times he heard "Here, Bowz"
was at dinner times; otherwise you'd think he was stone deaf!
He'd be doing his skippity-do, bippity-bopp, jig and a jog across the front yard -
headed off to *hunt inna woods - be rite back, Dad*.
Calling was futile ... he must have *hunted* with his noze!

I'd try a Door SLAM! --- I could *rattle* the windows and prolly *SHAKE* the ground
he was skipping over ...
NO reaction, other than maybe that darn Fluffie Tail *wagged* a lil harder!

Selective Hearing? ... a twice-daily art form ...
* Open the hall clozit door - he colud hear that! (Krunch can stored inside)
* Open the Krunch garbage can - he ALWAYS heard that!
* Later in life, his grub was "Steak inna Kan" Rx: ($$$) Stuff ...
. . The *Pssssssht!* sound when the can opener punched into the lid?
. . He could hear that from anywhere in the Ranch Howze!
* Whisper "wanna eat?" to Clipp & Clopp --- Bowzie's tags would start to *jingle*
* Lift the lid on the Cookie Bin ... and hear his tags *jingle*

< sniff >

MISS Ya, Bowz!!

Gosh, I know more people in heaven now than I do on earth!

I'll drink a toast to Lucy! Lucy was one of my cats. One of her cute tricks was to paw the floor by her water dish before she would drink. Luke picked up her habit and has passed it down.

Every time I see Chester doing Lucy's trick I can't help but smile. He never met her but she lives on because Luke passed down her trick.

Have fun at the Bridge Sweetie!!! Keep an eye on Leroy and all the others for me, ok!

I think a carrot cake would be appropriate, with some blueberry tea, our mayor's favorite.

My high school friend Jim ... you were remembered very fondly Tuesday night at the spring choir concert. I know God saw fit to call you home, but He called a lot sooner than we would have liked. Here's to you.

Fur-niblings - Jasmine, Poco, Churchill and Winston ... thank you for the unconditional love you showed while you were with us. Here's to you.

[MoonandBean]

Stryker, Sydney, Max, Rocky, Thai...I miss you guys sooo much and think about you all the time! I hope Thai met the rest of you guys at Rainbow bridge and are all playing together. I see you all everyday in Moon, Bean and Sunny.

May Each & Every RB Baby wear the Angel Wings & Crown.. From my Splenda in 2006 going to RB.. RIP Wittle Ones.. LIT please..

[pitc9]

I don't come here often... but saw the title and thought you wouldn't mind me stopping by!

Next week (June 6th) will be 1 year since I sent my Toby to the bridge.
I can still recall every second of that day.
We all love and miss you Toby!

Candy, Tafy, Mama Kitty, Fagan, Lucky, Rasquel, Spikey, Butch, Taz, Sheba, Schintzel, Bear, Tequila, Odie... you're all missed.

[RedHedd]

So many who have gone to the bridge. I still miss my two golden fur children - Goldie and Mishi - but I know they're happy at the Rainbow Bridge (Nancy, the cat psychic told me so and I believe her).

[Medusa]

My tuxie Peeka went to the Bridge 3 years ago. I can hardly believe it. Peekie loved chicken, so I'll grab a bite tonight in honor of you, little luvvie, and I'll follow up w/a toast of skim chocolate milk. And I can't forget my Peke-a-poos Charmin and Daisy, my mom and daughter puppers. Charmin loved grapes and Daisy loved Twizzlers. So I'll raise a glass to you, too, my pupper duppers.

[Karen]

Of course my sweet Miss Hoppy is up there now, but so many are. And here's to Ma, to (Great) Aunt Bertha and (Great) Uncle Mac, all of whom were surely met by crowds when they got to the Rainbow Bridge. And I know Uncle Mac's red cow was leading his parade, and Molly the Border Collie was just herding the whole gang!

Ginger peach tea, please?

[Moesha]

I've never joined in here. Just never felt comfortable intruding. So I think to start with I'll sit here quietly in the corner and remember my dear and not so sweet Simone kitty. I miss her alot every day even though it has been 2 years since I lost her to congestive heart failure.

Everyone is welcome here, don't worry about it. Some other less solemn week, we'll ask for a joke which is the usual admittance fee. Consider it waived by executive decree this time.

The not-so-little-anymore Orange Kitty, resident of this virtual bar, will probably come over and curl up in your lap for some purr therapy.
