Sometimes, we must discuss some serious issues, but we try to do it in a way that will help our readers feel good after leaving our blog.
Mom Paula: Truffle and Brulee bring joy to my life each and every day. Truffle has her little diva attitude and shows it when she prances into the room and Brulee has her cute and quirky personality, especially when she wants something.

I'm not going into details on this post, but the last few months have been tough for me physically and emotionally. There are some mornings I don't want to get out of bed. I can't tell you how much it means to me to wake up and see the girls resting beside me. They give me a reason to "not give up" and they bring that needed sunshine into my life. Just touching their soft fur, rubbing behind their ears and underneath their chins, and hearing those purrs brightens my days. They are such special little fur children to me and I'm thankful each day they came into my life. I can sit for hours and watch them sleeping - it's so calming.

Those who know me, know I am an extrovert and never meet a stranger. I try to always have a smile on my face and a positive outlook when I am around people. One never knows what the other person may be going through in her life, so if I can brighten their day for just a moment, then I feel I've done my job.
I thank you for listening to me for just a little bit today. Things are going to be rough for a little while, but I'm confidents things will get better and the sunshine will warm my shoulders once again.
Mom Paula, Girls, I know what that is like, as in our home, since 2012 there were serious health issues in our case, both with a son and then, after his recovery, with myself. I too loved seeing my little Tuxie with me in the bed, and throughout the day, and having her unswerving and unconditional love along with her trust. Your girls will continue to be that for you as well. You can rely on that. If I, or any one of us can be of service, you have just to reach out. I will be there. Written most sincerely.
ReplyDeleteWE all love you Mom Paula and we know you'll get a grasp on things. Hey, we can't see a photo of your girls without smiling!!!
ReplyDeletePurrayers & POTP for better days ahead.
ReplyDeleteSeeing your two pretty girls ALWAYS makes my human smile! I wish things could be happy and sunny all the time... but in the meantime, I am sending some purrs your way.
ReplyDeleteAww... Thinking of you Paula. Having the girls around is definitely a sweet blessing, especially in tough times. I hope whatever you are going through subsides and has a positive outcome. Sending you good vibes and prayers.

ReplyDeleteI have definitely been through times that were tough physically and emotionally, and pets make such a difference. They are a reason to smile each day. We are all hoping things get better for you. Sending lots of hugs and purrs! :)

ReplyDeleteYour girls are every bit as special as you are, Paula!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your kind words about Smokey. It is very sad around Forty Paws with him gone across the Bridge.
ReplyDeleteMontecristo is a certified ESA (yes a proper one not a fake one) and I know the impact his soft warm body can have when I am plagued with my anxiety attacks. He gets be though the hard patches. I am sorry you are going through a tough time but glad you have your girls.
ReplyDeleteHead up! I know what you mean, as I've been going through a bit of a difficult time lately too. Pets are amazing for creating a sense of peace, calm, and love. There are days I'm not sure I'd bother getting out of bed if it wasn't for my dogs.
ReplyDeleteBig hugs to you, Paula! You and the girls always bring a smile to my face, and I'm so glad we're friends.
ReplyDeleteSending you a big hug and you are so blessed to have those beauties in your life, your blog always makes me smile. I know in some ways how you are feeling as without Layla I would be living in my bubble as I just do not feel like going out. Remember you are not alone <3
ReplyDeleteSo sorry Paula. I am here for you if you want to cry, vent, complain, scream, etc.
ReplyDeleteI know that very feeling, some days I may not be here if my pets did not need me.
Much love to you all.
I am really sorry you are going through a difficult time and glad the kitties are there to help you through it. Though we don't know each other well - I do remember your bright smile and friendly nature at BlogPaws. I hope that smile will return again soon! Sending big hugs to you! Hope to see you next month in KC!
ReplyDeletePeep #1 always said that seein' Nissy made her "heart smile." It sounds to me like your girls do that for you, too. PURRS
ReplyDeleteAw, what a sweet post. You sound like such a positive, outgoing person. I try to be that way but often fall short LOL. I'm sorry to hear that you've been going through a tough time lately. So glad you have these sweet kitties to make you smile when times are hard. I know my dogs and my cat Jasmine do the same for me. Sending our love!
ReplyDeleteSuch a true post we all can do to help others. Mom Paula, I sure hope you are feeling better. We are here for you. Even if to enjoy your photos and tell you we are thinking of you and love your beauties. I have health issues that can literally weigh me down physically at times, so I understand how having sweet, happy furry faces sure helps! Those beautiful faces are the best nurses. Thinking of you and sending hugs to you and your two beauties, Truffle and Brulee. <3
ReplyDeleteHugs and purrs from me and my three cats! One of my cats is a therapy cat and I know the joy she brings to people who she visits. My husband and I also recently placed a cat with a lady who needed an Emotional Support Animals. I'm glad you have Truffle and Brulee to help you through your rough times. Cats make the world better.
ReplyDeleteI completely understand with how animals get you through tough times. My dogs have helped me through the worst days. Their companionship is greatest gift.
