"Tubby" arrived yesterday. :) :( :)

As most of you might know, Bunny (Catsnclay) makes wonderful ceramic cat items (candle holders, food dishes, pencil holders, etc.) After Tubby died, she PM'd me saying she wanted to make me a "Tubby" and after a few discussions we agreed on an urn with a place for a candle. I really didn't know what to expect, but "Tubby" arrived yesterday and he is perfect!

The whole thing is maybe about 10" tall and he has angel wings and on the base is the place for the candle and it says Tubby 1986-2004. She even got his little white goatee in the right spot. :)

He is beautiful, Bunny, thank you so so very much. I will cherish him forever. <sniff, sniff>

And the spot on the shelf is not where he will be for good. I will have to reorganize his "memorial" spot on the top shelf but didn't have time last night.

Catsnclay was so sweet to make this and it is beautiful. I do miss Tubby and this post made me cry.

There is so much going on right now at PT that emotions are really stirring. We have so many wonderful people here - I am glad to be part of it all.

Debbie - that really is wonderful and I know it was bittersweet to unwrap it. Thank you for showing it to us!!

:( :( Oh dear, just when I thought my tears had stopped. What a beautiful gift. Bunny, you are very talented. I used to do ceramics until about a year ago.

RIP Tubster...not a day goes by that I don't think about you.

What a wonderful, and touching tribute to Tubby! :) Have you advertised them on the internet? Or Catfancy Magazine? I have a hunch, they'd sell very well. ;) So sweet.

Gary!!! I am so thrilled, excited and honored that your very first post from your home computer is on a thread of mine about my beloved Tubby. He is sending you head bumpies from heaven right now and would like to sit next to you for awhile as you type if that's ok.

Ok, more of the old LES. <sniff, sniff> :)

[krazyaboutkatz]

What a wonderful tribute to Tubby. Bunny sure did a great job.:)

:D :D Lisa (K&L) has been telling me for years now to sell on E-Bay but do you think I would listen??!! :rolleyes: Noooooo....

I do sell locally to stores in the Phoenix area, and have even sold to a store in Michigan!! I have seen that section in Cat Fancy magazine and keep *thinking* about advertising there, but this is the part of my business that I hate the most....advertising. For some reason I just can't get my butt in gear and get out there to sell :( I need someone to do that for me!! :rolleyes: I am also a one-person studio and a little scared if I do advertise in Cat Fancy I might get so many orders that I wouldn't be able to fill them all :eek: :eek:

Gary- I'm SO glad you have your very own computer now!! Good for you!!! :D
