Should I or Should I NOT??!!

ok..it's been a very loooong time since I've had only one pet..Maddie is not young, but right now she is an only. At times I still can't believe I have only one pet! It's been 20+ years since that has happened. So, now I consider...should I adopt another one? I look at the Petfinder website every day. I'm just lookin'. I see those cute faces, but I'm not feelin' it right now. I kinda like coming home to just ONE! And THEN....I think again, and start thinkin' about a new baby. A new baby dog..don't think I'll get another cat. Love those kitties, but, I want to be able to take "it" camping and such. Can't do that with a cat..soooo, SHOULD I OR SHOULD I NOT...guess for right now, if I'm undecided, then that IS the answer. "NO"..at least for right now! I think in time I will want another one, but I want to be able to be home for a few days in succession before I bring one home.
Well, we'll see...MAYBE, MAYBE NOT!

Still Missing Him

It's been almost a week since Sparkey died, and I can't help but think about him often. I miss his snuggling by my face, I miss kissing him under his chin...I miss him sitting FOREVER in my lap! I just miss him. What a sweet, sweet kitty he was. My heart just aches. And....I'm just sad. Just sad.......It will get better with time...I know that, but right now it is still fresh..and it still hurts. I really do wonder if I'll see him again...in Heaven that is...sounds stupid, but MAYBE, just MAYBE, animals really do make it to Heaven...
I want him back..if only I could, if only I could see him and hold him again. 20 years is a looooonnnnng time to have a pet companion...lasted longer than my marriage!
I LOVE YOU SWEET SPARKEY....I JUST LOVED YOU SOOOO MUCH....

The Day I've Dreaded

November 5, 2011...didn't know it would be this day, but it was. the day I've dreaded for a loooooooong time...saying goodbye to Sparkey. He's been here so long, I have a hard time remembering what it was like before he came to us. What a cat. Sooooooo cute as a baby and just about the sweetest baby i've ever known. We bonded early because he was only 5 days old when he came to us. Getting up with him every two hours for 2-3 weeks somehow cements a strong relationship.
I miss him and it's only been one day. I miss him sitting in my lap, sitting a starring at a white wall (weird, I know!), lovin' chicken and eatin' canned aspargus! He was such a snuggle buddy. In the last year, all he wanted to do is sit in my lap. an sit he did. Any time I sat, he was right there on my lap. I miss his little furry body sitting on me. I miss kissin' him under his chin. I miss holding him and snuggling with him on a cold night.
Sparkey, you were one GREAT KITTY...There will NEVER be any other animal that holds your place in my heart. There will forever be a little Sparkey place in me. I will always miss you. I wish you could have "LIVED FOREVER!"...I used to tell you that. My heart hurts for you. You made me laugh, cry, and most of all, enjoy every minute you were here. Your momma will always miss you..............
HUGS, KISSES, AND MORE KISSES....
