Goodbye Mr. Smiley

[Twink]

Ah, dear Mr. Smiley. What can we say about someone who we have known for such a short time?

He drifted into our lives, his expression of joy lifting our hearts as surely as the wonder of helium lifted him.

He peered at us over a bannister, hung out with us in a bathroom, and took up residence next to Peanut's home, thereby becoming the most cheerful next-door neighbor a cat has ever had. And all the while, his grin stretched from seam to seam.

Mr. Smiley, although your chosen Peanut may have seemed indifferent to you, we all know better. You've brightened her life to a sunny shade of canary yellow. You just can't tell because...well, cat smiles aren't that obvious. Yeah, that's it.



Aw, c'mon, reinflate him. You know you want to!

LOL!!!!!! I love your response!!!!!! Come on, Debbie, you at least have to try to reinflate him. It wouldn't be the same with a new Mr. Smiley!

Twink, your response is so cute! And not to worry, today was garbage day and Smiley is still in the living room insted of in the recycle bin. I'm planning on stopping at Walgreens tomorrow to ask about re-inflating. That's where I got him so I'm hoping they'll accomodate the reinflation. Maybe if I appeal to their sense of guilt - how can they not help me to rescue him from such a fate as the recycle bin? He's so deserving of a second chance.

You never know though, they may turn the guilt trip around on me and tell me how many homeless smilies there are who would just love to come home with me.....

Oooohhh, such decisions to be made. I think Peanut would like it, though, if Smiley was around for awhile yet. She may ignore him on the surface, but I think deep down she really likes him. Just like Tubby - she hates it when he pesters her, but she'd be lost without him.

Ok, you guys, I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow.

I'm soooo happy you've decided to keep Mr. Smiley. Remember, just because there are wrinkles on the surface, doesn't mean.........oooops wrong saying.

Mr. Smiley soon you will be back to your inflated self watching over the Hansen household with your Princess Peanut at your side. I'm soooo happy - YIPEEEE!!!
