In Memory of Sparkle and Eric's Day Flashback.

 Before the Flashback I would like to pay my respects to Sparkle and her family. It was with great sadness that we heard a few days ago that Sparkle was very ill, then to see on her blog that she was going to the vet and may not come home again caused greater sadness, and we all hoped against hope that there might be some treatment which would help her. Alas it was not to be.
Sparkle through her human Janiss did so much for helping cats and humans alike with her advice and spreading the word to help get kitties to their Forever Homes.
She was very generous with her donations and fund raisers. We have truly lost a great friend, but she and her good works will live on in our hearts.


This week the Friday Flashback comes from February 2008 and I have joined Eric......
Just Mooching Around.
 
We have had good sunny weather for the last week and a half, so we are going outdoors as much as possible.

There are lots of interesting smells to check out like bunnies, badgers and foxes.The vishus deer don't usually come up into this field, but we'll have a good sniff around just to make sure.

Then sometimes we just sit in the grass and enjoy the fresh air.

Mooching around doing nothing in particular is fun.

Then it's time to go back to eat.

    We are quite sure that Eric was there to offer a helping paw to Sparkle as she passed to the other side. She was a special kitty, and we will remember her always. XO, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo

    Beautiful tribute made only sadder by Brian’s comment. RIP to a cat blogging pioneer, champion of those cats who have no voice and shining light. Maybe we can lay in the grass and console each other.

    Reading your tribute to Sparkle just made us miss you even more, Eric. Such a shock to learn of Sparkle's health issues and then she was gone. But never gone from our memories and hearts, just like you.
