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.
OMP (oh my pigs)! When me and my buddy Fozzie opened up this contest, I don’t think we thought we would get such AWESOME pictures. We want to say thank you so very much my friends for all of the submissions for Spies Like Us. All I can say is WOW! We knew *we* could do it. We knew *we* could catch our humans in the most strangest of all predicaments. AND WE WERE RIGHT. Our fellow anipals – ya’ll did an excellent job. I mean EXCELLENT. I’m going to break down the submissions into two days – today and tomorrow Remember to share this posting on your blog with your friends so they can vote on MONDAY, AUGUST 18, 2014.
Submission 1 – Can you guess which one of our friends dressed up like Boy George during their day and strutted their stuff? Can you? Submission 1 was submitted by Sherri-Ellen – you know Nylablue’s mommy. Isn’t this awesome? I wonder if she sang Karma Chameleon while she was dressed up like Boy George? Or maybe it was I’ll Tumbe 4 Ya. Do you remember the name of the band that Boy George was in? If you said Culture Club – you would be right! Just like we thing Sherri-Ellen was right on the money dressed up in this outfit. Way to go my friend!!

Submission 2 – We know the humans do weird things in their day grooming themselves. Easy was able to catch his mother with her hair up – literally. Then mom had Easy’s undivided attention – was it the hair? Was it the sweet talking to Easy? Was it the scratching of his neck? Who knows – but thanks to Easy for snapping this wonderful picture of his human! Oh, and you are actually wondering what was in her hair? Per Easy, it was the board rolls that you find inside of toilet paper. Easy’s mom said that her fur is too long for common hair curlers. What do you know – maybe that’s all the new style now? Who would have thought that?

Submission 3 – OMP (oh my pigs!) Speedy definitely got the scoop on my little tyke – the international rolling stone Bashful. Speedy said he was absailing. That rock sure does get into a lot of weird predicaments doesn’t he? In fact, it kind of looks like he’s bungee jumping. Snorts – way to go Speedy!

Submission 4 – Do you recognize this human partaking in Gravy Bones? Note to humans – that’s *our* food. You can’t have it okay. Snorts – this submission was from Misaki of his mother getting into his Gravy Bones. I wonder what she thought of them. Were the good? Chewy?
I might to put some of these on mom’s grocery list for the market so I can try some – licks piggy lips. Awesome photo!

Submission 5 – These two pictures were submitted by Bunk and Lilly on their parents. OMP (Oh my pig!) They really went undercover as Spies to get these two. Don’t you agree? Snorts – ❤ them! Don’t you just *have* to know the story behind these two photographs? Oh to have been a fly on the wall!

Submission 6 – Oh dear piggy heavens. I had to submit this one of my strange human daddy. I don’t know what he was doing in the driveway. Maybe it was his rendition of John Travolta dancing. I don’t know. Shakes piggy head. He was rocking that orange though wasn’t he? Maybe he was pointing to something flying in the sky over the Hotel Thompson? Maybe it was a bird, a plane, or maybe me Super Piggy? Oops, sorry I digress. Let me get back on track.
Earlier in the week, I got two things in the mail in ONE day. You talk about a piggy being excited and running around the house squealing – that was me! Of course daddy was mean and wouldn’t let me open up anything until mommy got home from the worky place… he’s such a bubble popper – snorts.
When mommy got home, I was walking the floors looking for her. I was kind of excited and didn’t wait for her to even change clothes before I was jumping on her and squealing. We opened my card first… piggy blushes. It was from my girlfriend Nylablue and her mom Sherri-Ellen. They are so sweet. I borrowed dad’s credit card a couple of weeks ago and sent them both a pick me upper from this winter snow. I think they enjoyed it! Plus the package had daisies and lady bugs on the boxes… I was hoping that my Nylablue would correlate that with a date we went on back in March. You can read all about it here.
Thank you my sweet purr thing Nylablue and my sweet friend Sherri-Ellen!! ❤
Then I got a package from down under – that’s right Australia from Fozzie. I squealed! Look at the goodies she sent me – and OMP (oh my pig) isn’t that piggy pencil holder/pencils the most adorable thing you’ve seen since I was a baby piglet?? Fozzie even sent my mom some Mickey Mouse band-aids. Personally between you and me, I think mommy wanted a boo-boo just so she could use a MM band-aid. They are adorable! AND, my stickers – YES! I can’t wait to use them on some special letters I’ll be sending out soon.
Thank you so very much my sweet dear friend Bev!! You rock and made this little piggies day! ❤
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!
