highlights of the day

Recommended Posts

Had a wonderful meeting with a SP friend of mine whom I have not met for a long time and whom I've missed so much.

Going back home to spend some quality time with family and all the four legged furry's I have at home.

 

A funny thing happened. I run a cat rescue. Well, a cat showed up last week. He was not a stray cat and he was determined to come inside my house. I thought, some people are so ignorant, why would they drop off a cat at my place. He was friendly, clean and looked similar to another cat I had neutered and found a new home for, but this one was smaller then Tommy. So, I put an ad on kijiji about a found cat, hoping he had just run away. Didn't get any responses, but I kept feeding this cat. Well, took him to the vet to get neutered, and it turns out he was already neutered.

 

Well, I was looking at him the other day (not home often, so only saw him a couple of times since he arrived), and realized that he was in fact Tommy. That same day, the family that adopted him contacted me to say this was their cat, he had run away 2 weeks ago.

 

So, I am glad that someone didn't abandon their cat with me, that Tommy obviously loves living with me. His new home was at least 3 kilometers away and it took him 2 weeks to reach me. Must be doing something right with these cats if they insist on coming back to me.

 

I've spayed/neutered 18 cats so far, and counting. At least Tommy didn't need to be neutered twice. I thought it was funny that not one of us realized this was Tommy and not Jr.

 

Ya gotta laugh at life sometimes.

Meaghan:

 

That is an amazing story about Tommy. Our pets are really tremendous and they are very much aware of what goes on around them. It really makes one think if indeed they are after all sentient. They just don't see the need to brag about it the way humans do :)

 

Just looking through some of my photos from a few years ago. Here's one from a hot day in August 2011 which really was the highlight of my day.

Enjoy one, and all!

That's hilarious! My cat did this to me when I moved. He went back to the old house which wasn't too far away but still far. He was gone for 11 days. He was also a stray kitten when I found him. He loves the outdoors and is gone for the night now.lol. He is a large sized tabby to begin with but I'm sure he has other people who feed him or call him Buttercup!

The highlight of my day is always when I have a job. I love what I do and I am very grateful to the special men in my life.

Waking up with a smile.... had a fantastic encounter last evening followed by a late night visit from one of my favourite people.... and we just giggled and talked until the break of dawn and beyond. Woke up to text messages from yet another wonderful woman, and exchanged messages with another caliente chica later!!! Ahhhh... some days are fantastic.

Discovering that I had a reserve fuel tank on my bike when I ran out of gas 20 minutes east of Ottawa on Russell Road.

I took down the winter plastic that protected our screened deck. Sitting out here now writing this while enjoying a gentle breeze and listening to some classic Marley. Life is good.

Watching a cascade of water pour out the back of a seafood truck. What fun!

 

Also, I just received a shipment of weird herbs, and I'm excited to make all sorts of weird herbal teas and tinctures.

I really don't post here enough... Something good happens everyday for me.

 

Yesterday:

 

Heading out to the driving range with TheLiquor for a golf lesson and realizing that I really don't suck (Well I don't suck at golfing... Hehehe!). :)

 

Having Cinco de Mayo margaritas and BBQ with my most excellent friends

 

Also, watching my fave team curbstomp my second fave team with Pageau trading a tooth for a hat trick. Such an amazing game! :)

My highlight is actually of yesterday or last night really. Saw a notice that Malika is considering doing us the honour of her company in St. John's this summer. So excited!

 

(Background: A while back I had a trip to Toronto planned and hoped to be visiting with Malika this week. A specialist medical appointment that I've been waiting on for months had an opening for the same time as my trip so I had to send someone else in my place. I've been quite bummed ever since as I have it on good authority that she is a dream to spend time with.)
