Copy and Paste from Nov 2016.
As Tommy and Teaghan's birthday is coming up I decided to take a look back at where we were before we got them.
Back to Beau Beau and Angie:
The blog for Beau Beau and Angie was born on February 19, 2006. It all started with a blog post that I had replied to somewhere about feeding cats tuna fish. Next thing I know I was creating a blog so that I could reply to the tuna fish guy. I didn't give it much thought about naming it, therefore the non cat specific url is swicks.blogspot.com. Cathy (who sadly is no longer with us) from Beau’s bloggie found my blog and sent a link introducing us to some of the few cat bloggers there were at that time. Once that happened I decided to stick with the url and name of Beau Beau and Angie's Fur Days and we were off and on a roll.
As I was looking back at those early days of the blog and my life with Beau Beau and Angie, I thought “wow, how did I make it through those years of my life”? Then I realized that I made it through those years with my sanity because of them. I was transitioning into a new life from a divorce in late 2002 and a new relationship with my boyfriend and his 14 year-old daughter. I moved in with them and almost 3 years later along came Beau Beau and Angie just when we all needed them the most.
The furkids brought liveliness, energy, joy, love, fun, enjoyment, distraction from our problems, learning, growth, care giving, and immense entertainment to our everyday lives. We worried about their health and well being a lot. We loved them intensely. We taught them about the big outdoors. We gradually brought them outside so they could enjoy the weather and have some fun. There are plenty of stories there! During this time we got married. My stepdaughter went to college. We moved to another house. Although it was only a mile away it was probably the most terrifying day of Beau Beau and Angie’s life (not to say our own with worry about them). We moved out and moved into our new home in one day while they went to stay with our family for the day. They lived with us in our house until they both passed, Beau Beau in December 2014 and Angie at the end of October this year.
All of their lives with us are here in these pages. Memories of them are so close it’s like they are still here except for the stillness of the house without their presence. They are now our Angel cats and their memories will live on for some time within these pages. The blog went from Beau Beau and Angie’s fur days, to All About Angie after Beau Beau passed and now back again. Many thanks to the beautiful job done by Ann from Zoolatry for the new header for the holidays!
Starting after the holidays my husband and I are going to be searching for a couple of cats to fill our home with love again. As before we know that it will be them that will find us actually. We are thinking that Beau Beau and Angie will be guiding the process somehow. The new ones will have big paws to fill for sure! So stay tuned for the search, the adventures and the stories of our future furkids.
Blessings and purrs,
Brenda
I remember Beau Beau and Angie, from my days of blogging under Fuzzy Tales. There have been a lot of changes in so many lives over the years, so many endings, so many new beginnings. I'm glad Tommy and Teaghan came into your lives, and I'm quite sure your angels did have a paw or two in the process. ♥
ReplyDeleteThank you! Yes I remember your site too. So many memories ❤️
DeleteThere sure have been a lot of changes since we started blogging.
ReplyDeleteCharlee: "2006, that was a long time ago!"
ReplyDeleteChaplin: "Yes, even before our brother Dennis got started in 2007!"
Charlee: "We will be looking forward to welcoming your new kitties when they arrive!"

ReplyDeleteWe loved those two sweet souls. They were something special weren't they?
ReplyDeleteReading this has brought back memories.
ReplyDeleteOur blog was started by Mickey(the black cat) and he is now at the Bridge too. Julie is the current resident blogger. Blogs are really neat ways of remembering what life was like "way back when". I remember BeauBeau and Angie.
Now we are both happy to see Teagan and Tommy. They are so good looking!
Pawsome flashback!!!!!
Purrs, Julie and "mum"
I remember BeauBeau and Angie so well. We started blogging 5 months after you started their blog although we had lurked for a few months before that. Cathy also helped me out, and also ML when I couldn't figure out my linkslist. Those were good days.
ReplyDeleteNice to learn more about you. I am glad you adopted 2 more kitties.
ReplyDeleteThey were both just precious!
ReplyDeleteVery cute picture. I just recently found your blog so I am just getting to know you and the kitty's you've had.
ReplyDeleteWe remember Beau Beau and Angie. We started blogging in December, and we remember when we first discovered your blog and your beautiful and precious kitties.
ReplyDeleteyour beautiful babies!
