Friendly Fill-Ins

Happy Friday! Let's start off this fine day with the Friendly Fill-Ins challenge. In case you missed the fill-in statements yesterday, I'll share them again here. Ellen of 15andmeowing came up with the first two, and I came up with the second two.

1. I like my _________ with _________.

2. When I was _________, I had to have _________.

3. I spend the most time thinking about _________.

4. _________ is a risk worth taking.

And below is how I filled in these fill-ins. My answers are in bold.

1. I like my oranges with chocolate.

(There's nothing like peeling an orange, lathering the slices in chocolate, and snacking away. Don't worry, this weird answer is my only one that doesn't revolve around furbabies.)

2. When I was a kid, I had to have my kitty companion Rosie by my side in order to fall asleep.
(Furry cuddle buddies make falling asleep so much easier. If my Rosie hadn't been called to the Rainbow Bridge in 2015, she'd still be my bedtime cuddle buddy. Rosie used to sleep on top of me, sometimes on my stomach, sometimes on my legs, and sometimes on my head. I loved that, and I would not move for fear of disturbing her. I will always cherish the bond Rosie and I shared for 21 years.)

3. I spend the most time thinking about my furbabies.
(I think about them when I'm home with them, and when I'm away from them. I'm certain I'm not alone in this.)

4. Adopting a specially abled animal is a risk worth taking.
(This is obviously a very personal decision, and one that takes significant consideration. For me, personally, I've learned that taking on a special needs furbaby, though I prefer to say specially abled furbaby, is so very rewarding, inspiring, and worth any potential risk. My boy Evan may be hind limb paralyzed, but he is a momma's boy who brings me so much joy. I adopted my girl Eddy when she had a severe head tilt and spun in circles or tipped over when attempting to walk or run, and she's now my happy, active, athletic goofball who never fails to make me smile. I have had people ask me to my face why I would take on an animal who might be more likely to have current or future issues, and all I can think is how much such furbabies deserve a home to call their own, and how much they've taught me.)

Now it's your turn!

Your Eddy fix for today isn't quite in the form of a photo. Do you remember when we shared an animated GIF of Astrid last week? Google Drive, where we store our photos, sometimes creates such GIFs using a series of our photos. They did that for Eddy recently, and so she wished to share that animation with you today.

Thanks, Google! Eddy hopes all of you friends of hers enjoy this tiny little movie of her. She also wishes you all a fantastic Friday!

Did you know?

Did you know that a couple hundred feral cats roam throughout Disneyland? They serve as pest control, keeping the rodent population at bay. In return, the park's staff ensures the cats are spayed and neutered, feeds them extra food, and helps them receive medical care as needed.
