Playing tag!

My 10th picture in my photo file.
Our cat ~ Louie, please excuse the hair that he has deposited on the mat.
Looks a little grumpy here, and must have been having a bad day.
Sweet old Heidi, wanting to go for her daily morning walk - she loved to do this.

The lovely Trish from over at the gorgeous blog trouvais.com just tagged me to talk about the 10th photo in my photo file. She has the most amazing and beautiful blog, so pay her a visit and see all the beauty she has to share.
So this is my photo of sweet Louis, our beautiful Seal-point Persian.
Sadly Louie is not with us, I so wished he was still lazing about on the mat or sitting beside you on the sofa.
Could not forget our other wonderful pet, Heidi who has passed on.
We were all so heartbroken after they passed on, that we have not had any more pets. I love animals so much, but we will leave it for a while before getting another cat of dog.

Now I tag the following Ladies, if you want to play the game.
Please go and visit all the wonderful blogs.

    Oh, Carolyn, I totally understand how you feel. It'll be a year next month that Hannah left us. Richard is wanting another girl Boxer but I keep resisting. Not a day goes by that I don't think of her. She was my special girl.

    I keep telling him that I think Kodak likes being the only doggie . . . but I dunno how long I can hold Richard off, LOL

    xxoo

    Oh I just love these pictures, my cat lays upside down like the first pic all the time...I'm always laughing at the weird positions she gets in.

    We are collecting our puppy in two weeks...a first for me...very exciting. I know the downside is when they pass it's SO heartbreaking, as they are truly a member of the family. It's painful to even think about it. I do hope you can get another soon.

    big hugs DJ

    Hi Kim,

    Thanks for your visit and kind words.
    I love seeing photos of Kramer and all your wonderful pets. Blessings.

    Hi Marsha,

    I know exactly what you are saying ~ they are such an important part of the family.
    For a long while I really did not feel like going for walks without Heidi and it has only been the last 6 months that I have been out doing my daily walks again.

    Many thanks Lulu, and wishing you a lovely weekend

    Thanks Marsha, such a lovely thought... them all running and playing together at Rainbow bridge.

    Hi Dustjacket,

    Isn't it sweet the way dogs and cats lie on their backs, Heidi used to do the same.
    How really exciting for you to be getting a puppy in a few weeks.
    One of the loveliest things to have a brand new adorable puppy and please share a photo, would so love to see it.

    Hugs
    Carolyn

    My goodness - what beautiful darlings!
    I am so besotted by my own pets I don't know what I would do - I am often saying this to my hubby - don't they bring such joy!?
    I love the idea of tagging - how special and I will be sure to pay your friends a visit. x

    Both of your furry members of the family are just gorgeous!

    They look like vintage pets. And I'm not sure if that term has been coined before, but they do! :)

    Something to put on the shelf, like little porcelain figurines! :)

    So pretty & sweet pets! I really can understand that it broke your heart to loose them, I also lost beloved pets within the years. But I had to accept that I am not able to live without animals. When we lost our cats Jeronimo (2000) and Mandarin (2002) we also thought we should resist our desire. But then our daughter "whined" that she wanted a cat or a dog. And so our cats Nina and Maxwell came into our lifes (and brought some lost sunshine back)!
    Lots of hugs, Traude :o)

    Many thanks Traude and I know how you must have missed your cats when they passed on. Glad that you have Nina and Maxwell to enjoy with your family.

    Thank you Bella, always great to hear from you and I appreciate your kind words and friendship.
