Mancat Memorial Day +
Memorial Day is a holiday to honor the military men, women and animals who serve our country in the name of freedom. If we have deceased friends or relatives who served in the military, many will visit their graves to pay their respects. Pet lovers often mark the day to honor pets that have died. Odin took a moment to visit the burial mound of our dear Gris Gris who passed away OTRB five months ago.
The Memorial Day weekend is the official kick-off to summer in the U.S. with picnics, BBQs and fireworks. If you have pets please keep them safe during the celebrations.
We bid our final farewell the warm weather clothes and say hello to sandals, t-shirts and sunbathing. Our blog friends at Sammy One Spoiled Cat is having a PICNIC. We’re going and hope you do too! Merlin may be old but his sniffer still works.
Domino never says no to a free meal especially if there are guaranteed al fresco snoozing between courses. But before we pig out, let’s remember the real reason for the holiday.

I was discussing with a friend of mine about this info and also regarding canon printer installation software as well. I believe you made a few great points here, we’re looking forward to keep reading stuff from you.

Very special day it is. We missed the picnic (blame it on my Mamma) but hope you all had fun!

Yesterday was a wonderful day to honor our military soldiers- human and other species, as well as our loved ones. Many warm and pleasant memories of my grandmothers and fur kids made the day bittersweet.

P.S.– Merlin melts my heart in that photo of his sniffaroo at work, he is truly an amazing gentlemancat. Gris Gris’ resting spot is so special, I have no doubt the boys know the significance of the spot. Is his marker etched wood? I have only one of my cats and one dog buried in my yard as when they crossed we had no pet cremation center here at the time. I have waited to place a permanent marker at their resting spots, unsure what would hold up best, etc. Did you make this one or purchase it? Has it held up despite the weather etc? It is my goal this summer to get this done.

We remember all of our military, human, canine, equine and even our dear avian friends that have served. Today is just one day out of 365 and we do not forget them ever. Honor, say thank you, give a hug, a handshake, a visit to a nursing home, a kind word but always honor them and respect them.
Happy Memrial Day to all that visit here. We pray and purr for peace and happiness for all of you !

Dear Odin visiting Gris Gris….yes it is a day of remembering and that we are doing. We’re also celebrating family and friends though with our cookout – a day to get together and make some NEW memories! I’m glad Merlin’s sniffer still works – we’ve got lots of nommy things to eat at the cookout……….sending big purrs and hugs for Memorial Day memories to you all.
Hugs, Sammy and Mom Pam

Even though we all are cat people here, we must remember all the military dogs who served as soldiers and gave their lives for us. Bless them this Memorial Day.
