Lost Sparky last night. Had to be at least 16 years old. Probably old kidneys. Last couple days not really eating but drinking lots of water. Mainly sleeping and using the litter box. He hung out on the patio last night. Nice night. Clear sky rather balmy with a good moon. Took an old bath rug from the bathroom and sprinkled a good dose of catnip on it to relax him. Woke up this morning and he hadn't moved from his sleeping position when I went to bed. After a few minutes knew he was gone. Sad but kind of expected it the last couple of weeks. He didn't seem to suffer much. Grateful for that. Family as they say. Always a part of me.
Called my sister early this morning to see if she had a box for me to put him in to bury him in the backyard by an old rose bush. As luck would have it have today off. While sitting in the lounge chair with my first cup of coffee waiting for her to get back to me the home health aide had GMA on. The very FIRST story, the TOP story was Trump's former Chief of Staff John Kelly saying he thinks if Trump gets elected to a second term he'll become a Hitler. First off we don't have the political system for aspiring dictators. How in hell is that even supposed to happen? So much for dialing down the political rhetoric in the wake of the two recent attempts on Trump's life. Has Pfizer or somebody made a pill for TDS yet?
So now I'm down from six cats to five. Unless Elon Musk gives me some grant money I'm gonna stick with the five for now. Don't know about the media. They wouldn't be trying to influence the election would they?
Sorry about Sparky. He had a good life, thanks to you.
ReplyDeleteYeah, if he could get control of congress, senate, DOJ etc.
he probably would. Like the Nazis overturning the German
democracy. What's up with all the people getting e coli sick
at McDonalds? One dead, 10 in hospital and all had the Quarter Pounder. Not blaming Trump, his job was further east.
Nice obituary for Sparky. Ours tended to get old, wander off into coyote land and not return. He passed away right where he wanted to - with you.
Conspiracy theorists say it's no coincidence the E. Coli outbreak at McDonald's after Trump's visit. The timing on this was out of this world. If he fried chicken at KFC there'd be a salmonella outbreak. Just reporting what the theorists are saying.
ReplyDeleteI can't picture Trump as a Hitler. Kelly is he said/he said. Maybe Trump said something maybe Kelly is disgruntled. Re the illegal migrants the lib view is everybody is good people and Trump is demonizing them. Liberals out of tune as usual.
Sparky had a good run. Whenever I dig in the backyard I hit stuff. Last time it was bricks. Today it was those little porcelain tiles and a rusty old pipe. Some lost town underground? Get Nat'l Geo over here.
ReplyDeleteI gotta go with Miley - Band of Brothers. Duty, Honor, Country.
ReplyDeleteNeed I apologize?
One would think with Trump's penchant for saying provocative things Kelly would have tried to record conversations with his smartphone if that were possible. Somebody talks smack about you BB. Maybe it's true maybe it isn't. It's one of those things. What are people supposed to do with it?
ReplyDeleteTalk smack about me? Don't got a smartphone. What do we term 'maybe it's true of maybe it isn't" Schroedingers' Smack? Whatever happened to think before you speak? We deserve better, Z-Man.
ReplyDeleteIt's what we got. Hobson, Morton whatever.
ReplyDeleteI've been on the receiving end of smack in the workplace. It's hard to defend against. It's like you need a lawyer.
Nurse Nancy on your case?
ReplyDeleteShe's on everybody's case.
ReplyDeleteYou need to open your own business. Get one of those Harris grants,

One of those forgivable loans.

ReplyDeleteCan't lose -she wins you get a business, Trump wins and you will be
richer than ever before.
Will Harris give out student loans too?
ReplyDeleteOnly for Harris University.
ReplyDeleteTalking smack. I walk funny, sway from side to side. Always have since I was a baby. Purchasing guy sees me coming down the hall -
ReplyDeletesays "You walk like an old farmer!" I made up a story about an old war injury. " Oh, sorry - thank you for your service. Still haven't figured out the answer to "Is that your nose, or are you smoking a pipe?"
Smack talk - " 'I'll Beat Him so Bad He'll Need a Shoehorn to Put His Hat On!"' - Mohamed Ali
ReplyDeleteThe paragon of humility. Remind you of anyone?
