Siggy's Blurbs: Siggy's Edge of Country …

Every morning I look outside my bathroom window and see that shriveled bird nest.  Last year a robin made that nest and sat in it for a week.  My wife watched it.  Then something spooked it and it did not return.  It could have been one of the cats who like to sit in that window.  You could almost reach the nest from the window.  I tried last year to peek in it to see whether there were any eggs in it but I was not able to plop a ladder under it.  My wife and I felt bad about the robin abandoning its nest.  There was nothing we could do.

Love your pets while you still have them.  We put to sleep Slinky, one of our cats.  It was really hard.  She was this timid, really affectionate black cat I had since a kitty.

I woke up this morning and she was no longer there.  She was in heaven.  I would do any thing to see her again.  At least, she was no longer suffering.

Lynelle and I gently stroked her body as she lay on the table as the vet administered the drug that put her to sleep.

She was this innocent gentle cat that loved to hang out in the bathroom window and never got enough of our strokes.  I had taken her for granted.

I wish I had appreciated her more when she was on this earth.  I have now seven cats and four dogs.  I no longer want to take any of my pets for granted.  They are only on loan to us.  As every thing else.
