my three amigo's...

Suzy, Tippy & Sam
(or, Smoogee, Mish-Mow & Freckles McGee)

...three fur-people who chose me
a long time ago to be their Momma
and I'm so glad they did...
they bring me joy everyday,
make me laugh with their antics
and
comfort my sorrows...

they sooth my nerves and help keep me warm ~
and never fail to get me up out of my sewing chair
to play a quick game of 'mouse-y'...
and forget about when they are all loopy on our homegrown catnip...
they sleep for hours,
sometimes snoring, sometimes purring ~
always constant as a source of unconditional love.
...their little velvet paws have traced love-letters on my heart
and I am a kinder person because of them.
I have been owned by many cats throughout my years,
and each holds dear memories...
I am thankful for their presence and presents
(the occasional field-mouse left by my slippers)
and wouldn't trade their companionship for all the sardines in the ocean~
Blessings from the farm,
