cat dood boomer

=^..^=

and me dai$y 
photo sharer
of the day



now a days most people 
have celebrations of life 
as a way to remember their loved ones

and if people can have one 
well us cats can too

because I me Dai$y said so



they share funny stories 
enjoy some great food

perhaps play a video 
and or some music


and while we don't have 
a video or music

unless you sing a song 
in your own minds eye 
we do have 
some photos to share 

{ that aren't in order though
 because someone 
ran into the table 
and knocked the pile of pics
to the floor 
and picked them up wrong 
didn't they ~~ tuna }


hay, eye had ta hurree 
two de grill 

N tern de mackerull 
bee for him charred



~~~~~ ok whatever 
anyway the food service girl

has been a part of boomers life 
for like 19 years 
and
she's been a part of mine 
since around day 48
and boomer and I have seen her
46392956816691449773991 times


and out of those 
4639296816691449773991 times

she managed to capture 
about 4 nice photos


none the less 
when she did take the photos
 { crappy or not }
boomer and I 
wrote a few notes ♫
on the backs

just so we could look back 
and laugh at our antics
and the food service girls
suck ass photo skills


{ though we were careful 
not to laugh in front of her

 because she always brings
"goods" to the house for us ♥ }



below are some of the favorite photos 
boomer and I picked out
over the years
and kept for prosperity sake ! 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



this post is meant 
to be a happy one 
so we hope

you enjoy the photos ~~~~~

777 thousand bazillion thanks 
to each and every one of you 
who took a moment to show us a kindness 
in so many ways this past week

CJ Kennedy said...

Love the pics especially the one where Boomer's wearing the lei. Such a handsome fella. I wish I had a donut this morning to salute him. Affectionate headbutts.

Brian's Home Blog said...

That was a very special tribute to the very special Boomer. Boomer will live in our hearts forever.

Crafting Queen said...

All kitties deserve to be remembered like this. Your food service girl took some great photos. Love the one with Boomer at the table being such a good boy and not eating the butter. :) Sending lots of hugs to all your kitties and to your food service girl. Skipper sends purrs.

Marg said...

That was such a wonderful tribute to Boomer. Loved seeing the pictures of him. We miss the Boomer too. Big hugs to you Laura.

A fitting tribute to a special guy, this is truly wonderful. I loved this. George loves butter. I think of Boomer when he tries to indulge. Hugs and love, always. ❤

Memories of Eric and Flynn said...

This is a lovely tribute to Boomer. Dai$y and Tuna, you did him proud with the lovely photos and words. Me and my mum are thinking of you both, and the Food Service Girl and her mum and dad. We know tomorrow is going to be another very hard day too for her, and we will say a prayer and purr for her tonight.

That was a wonderful celebration of Boomer's life. We agree, you did him proud. We're continuing to think of you all and are sending our love and hugs. ♥

Eastside Cats said...

Angel Boomer was quite a character! Porkchops...really? What an adorable face. We know your hearts are sad, so maybe a display of butter chunks on a plate will make you smile (and lick your lips!) Hugs and purrs to you.

Random Felines said...

we think the best way to remember is knowing that the good times outnumber the bad ones....

Seville at Nerissa's Life said...

I love these photos, food service girl is a good photographer. I especially like the first one of you two together and the one where you found Daisy's money stash. Excellent tribute to sweet Boomer. Rest in Peace. XO and love to you all

ANGEL ABBYGRACE said...

Those photos were indeed a celebration of life. WE miss you Boomer dude and we think your food service girl took some great photos of you over those 19 years.

Greg_1948 in_WA said...

great photos and memories--thanks for sharing

Pat Hatt said...

A great tribute indeed. We snickered at the shrubbery and shoe one. Those shoes can be scary when they have a lot. Sometimes we just have to fake interest in the toys indeed.

LP said...

We loved all these great photos ; testimonies of what a wonderful life you had Boomer! Our Mama especially loved the photo of you wearing a lei and the one of you at the table. We have a few butter lovers here who would never show that kind of restraint! Your celebration of life photos and captions made us smile.We send continued love to your family.

Thank you so much for making us laugh today. Mom is tired of crying. This set just the right note. It does not take away the sadness, but remembering the fun times is just as important. Continuing to send love, hugs and prayers to all. XOCK, Mom Janet, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Angel Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth, Calista Jo and Cooper Murphy

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH my cats an itty bitty Dai$y and Big Bro Boomer.
What a beautiful and fun family album this is. We love the comments
shrubz not neighbors, shoe tree...so much to learn thank goodness you had a good bro. Hawaii cracked mom up!
Angel Boomer I'm a butter freak too. My brand of choice is
Brummel and Brown. It is made with yogurt and I was once caught with my head in a new container. Mom said she'd have to throw it out.
What I wanna know is why didn't she just let me finish it?

You know one thing...that signifies a happy life and a good pet is all the fun things you do and most of all the fun Memories you leave with your food service girl. I can tell by every word she wrote and you all said...You had a charmed love filled life....and my friend
what more can we ask for other than more Tuna and NO BURDS!
Love and hugs
Madi your bfff
my peeps are off to get the taxes done...

Thank you for sharing your celebration of Boomer! I enjoyed each of these photos and the notes so very much! You made me laugh. Looking and reading through these, it's so evident how loved Boomer was. I wanted to pick some favorites but they're all so great. The first one sure is precious though. Annie and Pierrot love his favorite foods! Hugs to the food service girl. We know this is a really sad time too and hard for her mom and dad and for you too, Dai$y.

Butter-lovin' Boomer, we LOVE seeing those photos of you (and you too, Dai$y!). Our Mom sent something to your mom from our hearts and we hope you don't mind that it isn't a stick of butter. The post office lady said, "Um... no." What can you do?

Happy Catrick's Day!

Ivan from WMD said...

Aw, we LOVED all those photos! We're so happy you shared them.

Bleubeard and Elizabeth said...

I apologize for being so late visiting. I can't even blame it on Bleubeard or Squiggles, just my silly illness that I can't seem to identify. I believe it has to do with the weather or the pollen count, because even Bleubeard was sneezing yesterday.

What a loving and genuine tribute you have given to beautiful butter loving Boomer. It was appreciated by the three of us and we loved all the photos you shared. This is the finest memorial I have ever seen!

meowmeowmans said...

Such a lovely tribute and celebration of Boomer's life. We are smiling at these beautiful memories! His certainly was a life well lived. Love and hugs to you all, sweet pals.

What a full life Boomer led in that wonderful home of his. He was clearly loved and safe. Those were beautiful photographs.

As an aside, guys, feel free to take any photos you need of the Catfather for your posts.

Lola The Rescued Cat said...

What a lovely celebration of life! Boomer has such a wonderful life and was a lucky kitty to have such a great family. We love all of these memories.

Sandra Cox said...

I did not realize Boomer had passed. I am so sorry.
And he lived to be 19....you're a wonderful mom.
I hope he's chasing butterflies and eating mountains of kibble in his next cycle of life.
Hugs

Tommy and Teaghan said...

Time marches ever so slowly on. The celebration of life is the first step to healing. Beau Beau says not to worry, dat dey is celebratin' up a storm over da bridge and laffin and a laffin so dey won't feel so sad about leavin' us - fur now... Hugs and love.

Bleubeard and Elizabeth said...

Dear Tabbies,

Thank you for dropping by on Tuesday for T. I wanted to tell you how much I like the beautiful picture of Boomer. Your pals did a great job giving him a great tribute with the altered photo.

Bleubeard and Squiggles got a good laugh at your comment. You see, I am NOT their mother. I am their caregiver, person who feeds them, sleeps with them, and scoops up after them. Bleubeard's mother is probably with Boomer. He was born in a barn and given to me by my goddaughter. He had two brothers, and he was definitely the alpha male. I saw that with my own two eyes when she (my goddaughter, not Bleubeard's mother) offered him to me.

Squiggles, on the other hand, doesn't know who his mother is, and neither do I. She may or may not be alive, because I brought him home from the Humane Society in my town when he was six weeks old.

I've given both of them a forever home, but am merely a human with idiosyncrasies, one of which is not liking being called their mother. Like I said, I'm a bit weird at times (Grin)!

Sincerely with love,
Elizabeth of Bleubeard and Elizabeth fame

PS, I hope you all are starting to feel better because you have loads of us who love you all and what to help you through the healing process. Some of us even have opposable thumbs!

Bleubeard and Elizabeth said...

That should read WANT to help, not what to help.

Sandra Cox said...

Hope you're having a good one.
Hugs

Angels Amber and Max DaWeenie and Mom said...

We miss ya, Boomer! I NOSE you're havin' a great time at the Bridge!

Timmy Tomcat said...

Tuna, Daisy and dear Angel Boomer we loved your photos and the comments are, as always, funny as a dirty bird hittin the windscreen. MOL. Boomer you will be missed so watch over us. Next time we eat a nice pork chop we will look up and take a bite for you dear friend
Purrs
Timmy and Family

Herman and Dori said...

This is one of the nicest, most sincerest tributes ev-fur. I know you're an angel now, Boomer, but I'm kinda sorta hoping you pop in to check on the Trout Tabbies to make sure they are holding up your legacy. I love the photos...especially the one of you grinning at the camera. Uh...is that a stuffy on your head? Dood...so not cool. But on you, it's wonderpurr.
