Taylor: I found these old pictures of Angel Cameron. He must have been sleeping. His eyes are closed.
Merci: There are so few pictures of Cameron with his beautiful, expressive eyes open. Whenever Jan got out the camera, Cameron closed his eyes and refused to open them.
Taylor: So Cameron didn't like to have his picture taken?
Percy: No, he hated the camera! But we sure were thankful to have him as part of our fur family.
Merci: That's a Gizzy Quilt beneath him.
Taylor: What's a Gizzy Quilt?
Percy: A lot of the old timers will remember when Darling Millie's Mom Lynn was making them for other bloggers. They were named after Millie's brother Angel Gizzy.
Taylor: Oh, Jan made us kitties dishpan beds with them last winter.
Merci: Yes, and they're a nice size for me too.
Percy: No, they're not. You're too big for a dishpan.
Merci: I meant the quilts are a nice size for me too.
Percy: That's because Jan claims you're the perfect size dog - too big to want to be carried and too small to drag her down the road.
Merci: Don't forget you promised to make me an honorary cat.
Percy: We'll have the ceremony just as soon as you master the purr.
We're joining Pepi Smart Dog for today's Thankful Thursday blog hop.

We've got a Gizzy Quilt that Mum uses to keep warm in during cold winter nights and a small Gizzy quilt which is just right size for us to nap on.

OH yes we remember the Gizzy quilts, Abby had one with her name on it, I of course still have it and her urn sits on top of that quilt.
ReplyDeleteAngel Cameron was so handsome.
ReplyDeleteAngel Cameron was very cute.
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely memories of Cameron. We sure do miss him.
ReplyDeleteMerci, we think they should have the honorary cat ceremony real soon! We'd be proud to have you be one of us. :)
Not likely a woofie will master The Purr! But he gets some purrs from us...
ReplyDeleteNow listen: If you snore a bit, Merci, softly enough it could be a purr, I think. Try it!
ReplyDeleteShhh I didn't tell you this, OK?? BOL!
Those look like pawsome quilts.
Cameron sure was a handsome tuxie kitty.
