Wednesday Medley ~ Remembering Lulu

Found another fun meme to partake in. Head on over to Your Friend From Florida..... for other participants.

Here is a medley of questions for the Wednesday Medley. I always start with the National Day Calendar Day for ideas and base questions from there. No rules and there is no obligation. Link up if you want to. I'm doing this to fill my Wednesday and if you are interested, then I invite you to join in and link up with other ‘Meddlers’!!

RAINBOW BRIDGE REMEMBRANCE DAY

Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day on August 28th sets aside a day to remember the pet companions we’ve lost.

The death of a pet, whether furry, feathered, or an uncommon variety, is felt deeply. They become family and a familiar part of our lives. Mourning their death is different for everyone, and the observance provides a way to help heal the ache of loss.

The pain of loss is real. As each person travels through their grief, we remember the companionship and comfort they provided to us. Don’t forget that part of the relationship included care provided by you. The empty space left by the loss of a beloved pet is sometimes a difficult void to overcome.

Celebrate the home you provided and the joy your beloved pet brought you in return. When you are ready, you will know the time has arrived to find a new ‘critter’ to replace the emptiness felt. There are many animals yet to find a home. In time, you can be their new home.

HOW TO OBSERVE #RainbowBridgeRemembranceDay

Take time to enjoy memories of your pet. Look through pictures. Consider a visit to an animal shelter if you feel ready. Volunteering time may help the adjustment. Use #RainbowBridgeRemembranceDay to share on social media.

RAINBOW BRIDGE REMEMBRANCE DAY HISTORY

Deborah Barnes founded Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day in honor of her cat, Mr. Jazz. Cats are fascinating and lovable, little friends to have around the home. We miss them when they leave us. Truthfully, it’s the same with any pet.

This is Terri typing... I am in the hospital today, getting my knee replacement!! I wrote this last weekend to post today and I look forward to reading about your special pet(s).

Terri believes in the premise of the Rainbow Bridge. Rather than post five questions, she just wants the Meddlers to tell us about a special pet in your life who is no longer with you. Let's do this with love and hope rather than sadness and tears!!

GO: First wishing Terri all the best with her knee replacement...praying for a speedy recovery!

Now onto the post about my sweet Lulu. She was the best kitty! She was my cuddle buddy...well when she wasn't attached to Trent. In the summer months on grocery day, it was always fun to see her go after the bag that had the strawberries in it. She loved to drink water out of the kitchen faucet. I have a short little video of some pics of her over the years. We have lost some pets over the years, but losing Lulu was the hardest one of all on all of us.

At the end, you may also tell us about your week so far! Its been a hard week, work wise. I am at the point that I am ready to be done. I had an interview last week, and should be hearing this week the outcome of it... hoping for good news. If not then I will continue my search for a new job.
