My Sweet Nylablue

 In Honor of My Sweet Nylablue

  You may be gone but you are not forgotten.  I close my eyes and smile.  I dream of you running without pain or illness through the daisies chasing butterflies and looking so beautiful.  When I’m silent and still in my toddler bed with my Egyptian cotton sheet around me, I can almost hear your purrs in my ear – just like old times.  You were my first kitty girlfriend – my sweet purr thing – my snugglebug and you always will be the love of my life ❤  

I think of you now watching over all of us that are still here.  You touched my life in so many ways.  You showed us how to keep fighting for life and things you wanted.  You showed us love beyond what we could ever imagine.  I was privileged to have you in my life – your love was an added bonus that I will *NEVER* forget.  You will always be part of my heart.  

I pray for your mom and send her loads of hogs and snout kisses.  May she find some peace and remember that we all are here for her in her time of need.  

We love you Sherri-Ellen! 

 

Bacon and Nylablue Date Night

Date night *finally* got here this past weekend. I’ve been walking on a cloud every since my Nylablue at http://nylabluesmum.wordpress.com/ said she would go out with me. So much planning needed to be done. I wanted our first date to be something that she would always remember and dream about. My bud Speedy at http://www.speedyhousebunny.com/ graciously offered to help me out. I don’t know what I would have done without his help. I’ll tell you, for a little rabbit – he has some *super powers*!

Date night came quickly with all of this planning. Speedy jumped into his magic closet to travel and pick me up so we could flash to Canada to pick up my love. Let me tell you, traveling in buns magical closet was something in itself. Speedy is FAST. He picked me up like I didn’t weigh anything at all and we jumped in the tunnel. I closed my eyes so tight and the next thing I knew there we were in Canada. I should have put on my winter coat because it’s cold there! I don’t see how my love does it. But that’s okay, I’m here to keep her warm now 🙂 Introductions were made in real life with Nylablue’s mother, Sherri-Ellen. I promised to have our princess home at a decent time and not to tire her out too much. Then, we were off.

Speedy pulled the limousine around and picked us up in style. There’s nothing like a white stretch limo to make the girls swoon, huh? This one was fantastic! There was so much room for us inside to stretch out and partake in some of the goodies that Speedy had stocked up in the limo. Nothing but the best for my little Nylablue..

.

There was plenty of bottled water stocked and Speedy even remembered to stock some light snacks for us. There was tuna, crackers, shrimp balls and this fabulous aged cheese. It was all very delicious. But do you know what made it even more special? Having my sweet lady right there beside me to enjoy everything. We sat, snacked and talked about our lives while watching the landscape pass us by in the limousine windows. It was by far the highlight of my life so far. Nylablue stretched out on one of the seats and looked like the princess she is.

Our first stop in our magical journey was an ancient temple in Cambodia. You know I figured cats are curious and that Nylablue would love this. We all got out to investigate the temple and the grounds. It was like a magical moment trapped in time. Everything was so quiet and it was like just the three of us were the only ones left in the world. It had a very calming and healing effect I believe. I’ve never seen grass so green and believe it or not – it didn’t feel weird on my hooves which is something I normally hate. It was pigawesome. And Speedy, he was wonderful in telling us about other temples he had been to.

When we got done exploring, we went to the back of the temple and found a gorgeous lake. It was pure bliss that we all stretched out and let the warm sun rays envelope us. We stayed there for almost an hour in silence. No one really needed to say anything. We were all content and happy. We had each other, the sun and the beautiful day that we had been looking forward to so much. It was our little heaven. It was as close to perfect that we could ever plan.

.

After a while, my pot belly started to rumble. Darn that belly. But by that time Nylablue was started to get a little hungry as well. We decided to have a little picnic right there with the mountains in the background. Speedy had packed us a variety of different delights. There was a magnificent tuna spread, baked carrots, aged cheese and chicken. This was definitely the best picnic basket I’ve seen. We took turns trying different foods and yes we might have fed each other a bit. Some things need to remain at the temple 🙂

.

Afterwards, we went walking in a field next to the lake that was filled with daisies and butterflies. Nylablue and I took turns chasing the butterflies and running through the daisies. It was an afternoon of carefree delight in doing nothing but having fun with each other. We even played tag for a while. Then we played hide and seek. Nylablue hid first and I asked her if I found her what would I get? She purred and meowed. I snorted, closed my eyes and started to count. All I can tell you is that I found her and a gentlepig never tells of his adventures. This was the best date of my entire life. So much so that I made my little Nylablue a video of our time together. I hope she enjoys it as much as I enjoyed my day with her. And Speedy, thanks my man for helping us out with your talents. You are the best!

 

Dear Bacon

Dear Bacon,
This is my big brother Hercules.  Every day, he lets me sleep on him.  He protects me and keeps me warm.  Do you have a Hercules at the Hotel Thompson that does that for you?  Signed Tiny the Piggy

Dear Tiny the Piggy,
That is totally awesome that you have a friend like Hercules.  I don’t have a Hercules but mommy does kind of do for me what he does for you.  It’s totally awesome to have that kind of relationship.  Take care of you my little porky friend!

Dear Bacon,
I don’t know why the humans got so upset over this picture.  They kept calling Polly, the kitty here.  I kept telling them that I didn’t know where she was.  For some reason, they didn’t believe me.  Signed Hyde and Go Seek

Dear Hyde and Go Seek,
WOW.  No idea where Polly is huh?  Have you looked on the bed?  Have you puffed your pillow lately?  Has your pillow purred or meowed?  That might be the first place to look my friend.  Then again, if Polly didn’t want to be there, she wouldn’t be.  In fact, she kind of looks comfy to me.  If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.  Carry on – 🙂

Dear Bacon,
I feel pretty – so pretty.  Sometimes you just have to stop in life, lay down and smell the daisies.  These are some of my favorite moments.  You ever get to do this?  Signed Pondering Bear

Dear Pondering Bear,
You’ve got a point there my friend.  Life does go really fast sometimes and you need to stop and smell the daises… which happen to be my mom’s favorites.  It’s good to take a breath and remember what you have and who you are. I say continue on being pretty my friend.  Enjoy the smell of the daisy and the heat from the sun.

Dear Bacon,
All aboard the school bus – woof.  My humans found this party bus outfit and got it for me.  I’m kind of digging it.  You want to come aboard the party bus little guy?  Signed Corki in Charge

Dear Corki in Charge,
That is totally awesome!  I absolutely love the little friends you have in your bus.  It does look like a party bus too.  Beep-beep Let’s have some fun my friend.  Everyone sing with me now, “The wheels on the bus go round and round.  The people on the bus go up and down.  The driver on the bus says  move on back.”

Dear Bacon,
Can you believe that the humans make me carry my own back pack when we go out for day trips?  Why do I have to carry my diaper bag?  Can’t they?  Signed Tyke

Dear Tyke,
Aaww – you really cute with your back pack my friend.  It looks like it was just made for you.  There’s no worries on carrying it.  Sometimes my mom makes me carry my pack with me as well.  I look at it as helping her out.  Thing of it that way as to what a big bunny you are now to be helping out the humans.  That’s awesome!  And I’ll tell you something.  When I carry mine, mom usually puts me some treats in there.  That’s always a good thing!
