Pipeline Placebo

Templeton is spending his remaining days in kitty hospice splendor. His beloved Daddy is on vacation and Mummy spent hours cleaning the beach house screened porch so that he could bird watch from sun up til sun down between pain med induced comas...

Speaking of Daddy on vaca...his inquiry du jour is "What's in the pipeline Babe?" usually followed by, "I know there's a box rolling around in the back of some UPS truck somewhere making it's way here." Fortunately, all incoming deliveries have been gifts like the Mexican Picante and Soy Sauce from a très thoughtful Maryland Pink and Green. Way to throw him off the scent Bethany...

Next to arrive was the swanky Devon Baer turtle belt I won from Horse Hound and Home's recent giveaway...

And, just in case Daddy wasn't sufficiently distracted by the whole "gift" thing, Templeton inserted himself into the scene to play the sympathy card on Mama's behalf...

Kindness of the ladies for their placebo packages and Templeton for being selfless right up til the end...XXOO

  1. Your kitty looks so sweet. Such a difficult time. We know it is not a child, but still, our pets do become our "babies". You and Templeton and in my thoughts (cause I'm a sucker for animals--and nice people).

  2. During these trying times with Mr.T. Little packages in the pipeline sure must make you both feel a little better. Packages always make me feel better.

  15. Poor Templeton, I hope you're holding up though.

    I'm FINALLY able to resurface into blog-land after a few weeks of work-induced absenteeism, and have thoroughly enjoyed catching up on your blog. How I've missed reading it.

    Loving the belt too by the way.

    XoXo!

  23. Poor Allie and of course, that gorgeous "puddy tat". May he rest happily under the warmth of your kind attention, and may the trinkets provide you with some comfort- though they pale in comparison, I am sure.
