Thundershirt Season
Mama got home from BlogPaws yesterday just before the storms passed through.
Poor Yaz was already upset by the time she got home. He knew what was coming and he was panting and trying to chew through the fence to run away.
Mama brought him in and put his Thundershirt on him.
After spending some time inside with it on he calmed down. He even laid down next to Dad in bed and fell asleep. Mama felt better when he relaxed, but she knew her job wasn't done.
Mama's swag bag was filled with dog stuff (hey! where were all the cat goodies?) so she used it to make Yaz a pet emergency kit. Then she took all of our kits to the basement in case the storm got bad.
Luckily, we didn't have to take cover, but our friends and family in Oklahoma did. Things got bad down there and we're praying for everyone in the storms' path the last couple of days.
If you don't already have a pet emergency kit PLEASE make one. You never know when you'll need it. You can find tips in a previous post on what you should put in one.
Check back with me soon as I post about all of Mama's excitement at this year's BlogPaws!

Memories of Rosie
Recently, Grandma and Grandpa moved in with Mom and Dad. They sold their house in Wichita, and while it was a good thing, it was a little sad too.
Mama lived in that house for 20 years. That is where she met her kitty Rosie. She was sad when she had to leave him there while she moved to Kansas City, but always looked forward to visiting him.
Rosie went over the Rainbow Bridge about 3 years ago, but Mama still had memories of him at Gma and Gpa's house.
Once, when Dad poured concrete to widen the driveway, Rosie left his impression.
Dad didn't get mad, instead he added Rosie's name. Mama wanted Dad to cut it out so she could take it with her, but Dad said no. He did help her get some pictures of it though!
Mama slept in her old bedroom the night before the big move. She noticed something on the door while she was sitting on the floor.
There was a spot worn off. It's where Rosie would "knock" on the door when he wanted out in the middle of the night. It made Mama smile to remember that.
There were a lot of memories in that house, but there are many more to be made in the new one. It's nice to look back and remember the good times and good cats.

Happy Mother's Day
It's my first Mother's Day at the Rainbow Bridge. I know Harvey and Evelyn did a good job of making Mama's day special, so these memories of us are just the cherry on top!
I love you Mama! Happy Mother's Day!
