Row Row Row your boat

Hi (Furry)furriends💗

Stippie…

look what we got

from Grandpaw…

…a papurr basket…

that you can smell…

scratch…

and watch it move…

like a harmonica

…with your paw…

don’t be afraid Stippie…

I know you have to see

how things are going

first…

and that you don’t like the noise

that I’m it’s making…

but it’s fun…

and it de-stresses me you

whenever it’s necessary…

you also can turn around in it

a hundred times…

possibly to catch that tail

…that’s right behind you…

but you have to explore it

from nearby…

I’m not sure if that’s my cup of tea

Peachy…

I’m not so into papurr…

and I don’t like to see it moving…

I like my plastic fantastic boat…

with which I can row…

and float on

without even moving…

…see…

…wait…🔔

this reminds me that

we have to make a poem

for our furriends

Angel Sammy and Teddy

on this picture…

“Wherever you want to go

always row with the flow

don’t be afraid of stormy seas

just have faith in your beliefs

we all go together

through all kinds of weather

but even in tough times

we can have a lot of pleasure.”

We’re

T H A N K F U L

for the new basket

that Grandpaw bought for us…

Granny is

T H A N K F U L

for her Virburnum

that brought some color

and delicious smells

into the garden…

…and the first Bumble Bee…

that Peachy chased and hit

with his paw yesterday…

so that he was very confused…

and when Granny picked him up

and held him in her hands

he didn’t want to leave her…

so she had to watch him shrink

in her hands…

and thought that this was his end…

and she was very sad about that…😿

and we heard her say

‘I’m so sorry, so sorry

little Bumble Bee’

(ps this is just a Stand-In… to picture it)

but when she placed him in a plant pot

in our front garden

with picked Virbirnum flowers

which she placed next to him…

he started walking

and made his way out of the pot

and sat down on the edge for a while…

and later when she went out to see

how he was doing

…he was gone…

So maybe he survived after all🙏

…he’ll let us know…

✨they always do✨

⚓📚Have a Happy Furriday my furriends📚⚓

🙏Stay Safe Healthy and Yourselfie🙏

– D o u b l e  P A W K I S S E S –

🐾😽💞

Where are you Thankful for today?

    That’s a pretty cool paper boat! So glad the bumble bee recovered to fly away to pollinate another day. Beautiful spring pics.

    We are glad to see you two having such fun with your new toys. And We love your poem.
    Granny’s flowers are always beautiful. And last, but not least – We are glad the bee apparently survived. Bees are furry impawtant to the environment, Mummy says.

    it appears that company that makes that “basket” took my advice! I was sent that “basket” at least a year ago (a MUCH smaller version), it was so small in fact that I told them I refused to review it!!!! I told them it was ridiculous being that small…….how large are your kitties? That basket looks at least 2 to 3 times the size of what they sent to me. I threw mine out I was so disgusted!

    Be careful, Peachy! Try not to put the smacky on a little bee. You know Granny loves all creatures.

    Love and licks,

    What a lovely basket, you can probably use it for your nails too. Thomas has something like that for his nails and he loved it. Enjoy Peachy and do chase your tail, that is always fun. Spring is definitely coming. Love your pictures.

    Have a great day my lovelies 🙂

    Peachy and Stippie you lived through quite some adventures again.
    Amazing that blooming viburnum this early and no wonder it attracts bumble bees.
    Glad it recovered as they are soft and sweet.
    Big hugs and enjoy the new paper toy!

    You both have two new wonderful toys! I like seeing you explore them; and Stippy, I bet you can row reallllly fast with those oars. Peachy, catch that tail!!! Now about Mr Bumblebee, my mom loves bees very much and has not done a few things outside out of trying not to disturb them. You didn’t know playing with him would cause him a trouble but now you know. Your Granny took excellent care of him. He must have indeed flown away.

    Well boys that’s quite a “boat” you have – I guess it’s a combination “nest” and scratcher?? It’s interesting and quite pretty really. Maybe in time BOTH of you will enjoy it. Meanwhile Stippie we can’t blame you for wanting to stay with your boat – it fits you purrrrrfectly! As for Mr. Bee (or Ms. Bee) that got a paw-smack (accidentally or on purpose) it sounds like it might have been a bit “stunned” but recovered and flew away. YAY!  Your poem is absolutely WONDERFUL and you boys and your Granny did an amazing job as always.

    Hugs and kisses, Teddy AND Mom
