Time Goes By In The Blink Of An Eye!

Time Goes By In The Blink Of An Eye!

Today is my birthday, but that isn't what this post is about. It's about another special birthday, that of my beloved cat Jaden Yuki. On September 18th of last year, I had to sadly make the hard choice of assisting him in crossing the rainbow bridge. The night before being one of the most difficult and emotional ones in my life. Jaden kept experiencing seizures as he went into kidney and liver failure. I carefully held him all night getting maybe 30 minutes of sleep. The next day taking Jaden to the vet knowing all to well, that I wasn't going to come home with him.

On September 1st 2006, hurricane Ernesto affected Virginia. I will never forget the call from an exceptional woman named Carol, she was like a second mother to me. She too has passed sadly and is very much missed. Carol quickly informed me almost hysterically how "Ms. Legs," a stray cat we befriended had her kittens in the middle of a fierce hurricane! As it so happened, the local humane society had employed me at the time. After talking with my boss, Tonya she voluntarily agreed to foster Ms. Legs and her 5 adorable little kitties. I informed Tonya that I genuinely wanted the little black kitten.

The day approached when the kittens were ready to be adopted. Instead of bringing just the little black one, she came carrying all 5. Upon opening the carrier, four kitties came bouncing out, playing as adorable kittens typically do. Jaden, however didn't emerge. Tonya informed me that he was getting over being sick. She scooped Jaden up, then sat him in my lap. Jaden fell asleep all while purring loudly. He naturally chose me…

I enjoyed 17 wonderful years with Jaden and dearly miss him. I keep breaking down in tears while trying to type this up. He will be forever missed by both his adopted "brother" Jiraiya and myself.

I just wanted to do something to honor him by; a dear friend of mine suggested doing a memorial post here.

Jaden never did catch that Raven, but he sure did try. *lol*

🤍!

Hot Dogs, Nom Nom!

A new box full of Buggy should be in my eager hands this glorious week! *hooray* According to tracking, it's already left Japan!! *woot* Meantime here are fun pictures of a couple new cards that were acquired recently. Also wanted to show off my recently completed ita bag insert.

For whatever possible reason, I am rather entertained by this silly card. *lol* It doesn't take much to amuse me in all honesty.

When held up to the light, Buggy's most loved and delicious food is revealed. Not sure who came up with this specific card? I genuinely like the creative originality behind it, though.

Kimono Buggy will always be best Buggy in my eyes, along with Impel Down Buggy too that is.

The insert for the ita bag, I naturally had to have something flashy of course. Just not too terribly flashy, didn't want to detract from the pins.

The flower/star-like gems, I had to stitch them on. Hot glue sadly let me down! Probably for the best, they are more secure this way. The bag itself, however is a work in progress still. I'm patiently waiting on some things that are in my incoming box.

All I can passionately declare is "My Fave" and "Candy" indeed!

What Does It Contain?

This precious box obviously contains none other then sexy Buggy goodies, and arrived yesterday!!! *woot*

I had sincerely hoped to post all the new gets today, but my silly body is feeling really drained. I've been this way after yesterday's Chiropractor session. Not sure why? It is a terrible feeling is all that I undoubtedly know. *cries* Maybe Thursday? Tomorrow is unfortunately filled with doctor's appointments for me.

As a fun bonus, here is picture of Jiraiya (aka The Grey Potato) snoozing happily in the newest box.
