So Today would have been my mom's 68th birthday. So I have been doing everything I can to stay busy today, to keep my mind off it. My mom loved animals - she had a dog named Misty (a Chihuahua)and when Misty died we got our cat Putter, who had babies, including Mog who we kept, and then we got a beagle, Benji. I wanted to post pictures of her with them (since this is generally a blog devoted to animal posts) but I could only find one of her with Misty - my dad spent most of his pitcure taking time on me I guess. i know there are others of her with Misty somewhere but I can't find them. There are pictures of her but there just aren't animals in them, in fact most of the animal pictures are just them, no people. Anyway in honor of my mom's birthday, here is a picture of her with Misty, in front of a snow-Misty she built. It was taken around December of 1969, which is the year my parents got married, and 2 years before I was born, so I am not in the picture. I wil be back to my regular cat blogs tomorrow, including an update on Barney's vet trip today.

What a great picture. A snow pup, right down to the whiskers. And huge, too!
My mom died in 1993, at 68. Your mom was much too young, but then again, so was mine. Even if they're 110, they're too young, right?
Grab a kitty and get some extra loving today, sweetie.
We hope Kirzon is doing better today. And such a nice post to remember your Mom. Our Mom lost hers in 1993 and she still misses her a lot too. Hugs to you.

Thank you for sharing a picture of your beautiful Mom with Misty.
It's such a blessing to have a wonderful parent who's loss can still affect us despite the passage of time.
We're thinking of you today! That's a nice post of your mom and we love that she made a snow-Misty! We know where your love of animals came from!
Amy, that is such a nice photo! Thanks so much for sharing it. I am sorry that you lost your mom when you were so young - I know that is extremely difficult. I hope the birthday anniversary isn't too tough for you.
Sending you purrs and hugs (and a little lick on the arm from Franklin - he really likes to do that) -

My thoughts are with you today. Rest and do something nice for yourself, I think your Mom would have approved that advice.

We're hoping you can feel warm snuggly cyber (((((hugs)))) from us today instead.
Losing someone you love is unbelievably hard ~ and the years don't take the pain away, they just enable you to seem to handle it better to the outside world. The pic of your mom is beautiful ~ and wherever she is today we know one thing for sure: she is VERY proud of you. happy Birthday to your beautiful Mom from us all.
Beautiful post...Hugs
I know how hard these days can be... It seems your mom did many of us animals a huge service to get you into caring for us!
Happy Birthday to your mom.
Take care of yourself today Amy.
Oh that photo is great! I'm sure your mom is watching you and sending you hugs today.
Lovely picture of snow Misty, mom and Misty. Sending warm thoughts for you in your loss and may memories bring you smiles! Your mom is with you always!

Gentle wiggles & wags,
