Sweetie Pie Turner here, MomGoth’s mom’s cat. MomGoth is at Karen’s Book Barn today. If you’re in LaGrange, Kentucky today, stop in and see her!
You know how you have toy-friends, and you ignore them forEVER and then you take up with one of them again?
That’s me and my little worm. I have two of them; one green and one … some other color, but I like the green one SO MUCH these days.
Here’s his picture.
And here we are, cuddled up together between the statue that represents my late brother, Ozzie, and the scratchy slope MomGoth’s late cat, Amidala, left me.
MomGoth calls him Dr. Worm, because of this song.
A WRITING PROMPT FOR ANIMALS: Do you have a special toy-friend?

September 10, 2016 at 10:25amStrangely, the cat calendar shows 2 cats with their special fluffs. Each is carrying the fluff toward the camera to hand off to their human? Perhaps.
My old boy T Maxx had a red fluff that he adored. He played with it like crazy, but he also cuddled it up to himself and slept with it. He was so large and fluffy, himself, that his little red fluff seemed minuscule, but it was his and he luvved it.

September 11, 2016 at 9:14amSome of TMBG’s songs are superlative, some are not-so-much. They didn’t write Istanbul, and I don’t like their treatment of it as much as I liked the original version from my childhood. I LOVE “Blue Canary” and “You’re Older Than You’ve Ever Been” (not sure about the title, but it’s a line), and “Cow Beneath the Sea” and several others.

September 11, 2016 at 9:15amWow! Wonder what makes those so special?

September 12, 2016 at 9:34pmI know. I wonder too. Great mysteries of our world. 🙂

September 11, 2016 at 8:14pm@Marian Allen – They didn’t write Istanbul,
Damn, I had no idea. I thought that song was just so clever. But if they didn’t write it, that kind of explains my ambivalence. Oh well. 🙂
