Carpe Diem #436, companionship

April 3, 2014

Carpe Diem prompt companionship

New Year ~ hearts join

bereaved ~ sought soul mate ~ found

Charlie Chaplin ‘stash

My dear Bianca had been gone almost 3 months

and I found myself really missing the companionship

of another living being. The shelter had a “sale”

for cats thru the end of the year, since the weather

was blizzard after blizzard and arctic temps. The

shelter had to cancel its fund raiser and decided to

keep the price from Kittenpalooza thru the end of

the year.

I had been in a couple of times, but just couldn’t

make a decisions. When Ino realized I needed to

get myself out of the dumpers, and the price was

right, I headed to the shelter and presented my
“wants” to the staff.

*** a cat that was older and therefore not easy to

find a forever home.

*** possible mouser

*** not too big

*** not to clingy…I didn’t want to have a cat always

wanting to be picked up, held or sit with me

Well, Miss Blaze S’More fits the bill sort of. I didn’t realize

that 2 1/2 was “old” for adoption…people want kittens

under a year old. Eleven pounds is quite a big cat,

but she is long an sleek.

Her personality fits the bill… I am the Princess Serf,

whom she allows to live in the house. She sits with

me when it pleases her an no one else is around she

prefers !

A fine companion for a not so little old lady …

Miss Blaze S’More my companion and boss.

Carpe Diem Special #64, Garry Gay’s fifth haiku “touched”

October 29, 2013

My darling Bianca after she had lost over ten pounds.

Sometimes her touch meant she wanted something …

this looks like “I need you to hold me”

even though she didn’t like to be held by me most

of the time.

The photo seems to fit the prompt.

Prompt:

‘touched

in the darkness

by a snowflake’

Garry Gay

———————

cold nose on my toe

Bianca just passing by

touched by an angel

========================================

I swore I wasn’t going to be a crazy cat lady.

My sweet Bianca recently passed away

on October 19.

I could have sworn a few nights ago

I felt the touch of her nose on my toe…

my foot over the edge of the raised footrest

of the recliner.

She used to do that as she went by close

to the chair so I couldn’t see her.

Haiku Heights #275 ~ September Heights Day 02 ~ Guardian

September 2, 2013

There was a deluge as I went to take a photo
of my trees that help me feel safe … I managed
to get a photo of the red berries growing on a
vine I have no idea what it is before it really
started to pour.
