Vignettes and Pets

[MaineCoonMama]

My name is Pooh
I'm like a bear
When mum gets up
I steal her chair
I love to show my curly tum
You guys can't see
My fluffy bum.

out of reach, alas
winged prey alights, sings, soars and
escapes untasted

We are bunnies
Here to tell you hunnies
You want a vignette?
You ain’t seeing nothing yet

This tattle thread is jokes
Is it a hoax?

Some people may just blab-it
Not us, not B-Rabbit

 

[Hi there]

All in a day’s work for Casper. Fun, muddy walks through the fields, jumping in the river. Home for a good scrub and finally a good air dry later, we are squeaky clean. Wouldn’t have it any other way

 

[Geranium]

I also need to show you possibly the prettiest torte cat in the world....

This is Roo at the beach...

 

[Hi there]

Just for you @Milking Keynes

A haiku

Forever waiting...
The empty food bowl taunts me.
Well? Where’s my dinner?

My late furbaby Jack.

The day we brought him home was 22/04/2014, the day we lost him was 22/04/2021.
Unreal. Love him always.

Roo, Roo - such a to-do
Star of Fur Babies and now this site too
Our dear Border Collie
So dear and so jolly
@Geranium - methinks his paws need a brolly!


(I was so hoping you would bring Roo so good to see him again. It wouldn’t do any harm for us to see him sleeping again - hint...hint)

Teddy Bear with some shoes and some bags...

Oh Pooh...what a beauty! Great poem! What do you think @Miscanthus?

Pooh! So beautiful
I'm going to shamelessly post a picture of my Monty, one of four MCs that I've had the privilege to 'own'. RIP.

I will start with a poem about a certain dog called GEM...she is part of the family of someone very dear to me
(They do say dogs grow to behave just like their owners don’t they?)

Little Gem from Ireland soared above the Richter scale
With her sturdy glossy body slightly longer than her tail
Her low-set pendant ears were a delight; her round eyes bold
In short she was a beauty and a vision to behold

The squareness of her muzzle and her nostrils open wide
Her legs so straight and well-boned gave her level back a ride
Her white coat was well groomed as every lovely curled eye lash
And she used a dainty napkin for her beard and her moustache

Her beauty came not just from looks - though lovely as she was
It came from a much deeper source; it simply was because
She was the kindest little dog the world has ever seen
It oozed from deep within her heart, her liver and her spleen

Yes beauty glowed within and on the outside love poured out
She spent her life bestowing this great gift and without doubt
The greatest loan she made was her most sympathetic ear
This Samaritan would cross a mountain range to save a tear

She went to every rescue, not a single soul was spurned
From the boomerang of kindness she unfailingly returned
A chip on any shoulder caused by cruelty or lack
Would simply disappear with tiny pats upon the back

Benevolence and empathy became her living creed
She’d share her gifts repeatedly with anyone in need
Never scared she showed she cared by loving others more
And a healing light emitted from each digit on her paw

Her place in doggy heaven was undoubtedly secure
The extra mile she always went with kindness true and pure
Filled souls with hope and blessings - what a picture she could paint
Our little Gem from Ireland - gentle soul and living Saint...

Not as young as I used to be..
I'm actually 12, but think I'm 3..
I still sprint around the garden, when I take the notion...
Albeit in slightly slower motion...

 

[Milking Keynes]

Gem loves the thread
So before she retires to bed
Wants to thank you
For being such lovely crew
Special hug to Teddy Bear
And also to Roo
Buddys from Fur Babies
And some new pals too

My name is Boudicca
I'm known as Bunny
Mum's rhymes are crap
And not that funny.

Here is my rug Tádé! You can tell how bad I am at PS! This is her two style. What a game changer!
She looks like in the green pic now. It is not enough warm yet to get her short haircut.

I mean...there’s adorable and then there’s Casper in a towel... I just want to pick him up and squidge him...

Casper in His Towel

As you sit and look at me
I like to wonder what you see
My regal nose, my head on tilt
Or fur wrapped tight from water spilt?
I like a good scrub - yes I do
To feel the water trickle through
The tender soothing when I’m dried
Then warming sunshine back outside
To dry my fur and make it shine
I bet you wish that you were mine...

I was sorting out laundry today and noticed Ginny had climbed into the pillowcase alongside the pillow, she loves cosy hidey holes !

 

[Milking Keynes]

This one trying to compete with Casper.... Gem getting far too fond of the camera, she’ll soon be posing with her paw under chin a la a certain influencer! (As you can tell, I am just learning how to insert photos, hence the duplication #slowlearner

 

[Geranium]

Here he is!
