JB'S package and "lil man"


My kitty friend, JB, got a package from me.
She posted all kinds of cool photo's of the package sending and receiving process.
I sent her a "Toad House" for her toads.

Also, as you can probably see by some of the photo's posted in previous posts....
My lil brother is getting much worse. He is still with us, but not for much longer.

"Lil Man" as we call him, has become a big part of everyone's family within the DWB Community.
So many of you ask about him, but I haven't felt much like talk'n about it right now.
JB, posted a photo of Gizmo taken last night (Its a good photo) not scary or sad....and an update.

Thank you, JB and too all my DWB friends for your support.
Please do not be sad, Gizmo is 17 years old and has given me all the information I need to carry on his journey.

I think a nap is in order now.
Wishing you all a safe and peaceful weekend.

Deetz,
Thanks again for the pawsome package! I am STILL super duper excited about it. I am sleeping with one of the feathers again.
It is sweet that Gizmo has passed on all his knowledge to you. He has had a nice long life at 17. Purrs and purrayers to you and your mum.
I hope you stay dry. We just put the weather channel on and saw the rain in Kansas. And Ike is looking very scary and they are saying the weather will come up to Dallas now too. I have my yellow raincoat ready!

Deetz,

How kind of you to send JB such a lovely package. We read all about it over on their blog.
Mum's dripping eye leakage all over me but I have told her that she musn't be sad, Gizmo has had a long, happy and love packed life and in passing all his knowledge onto you he has done an excellent job, He is in so many hearts that he will be eternally here. Please give him a gentle nose rub from me and a very gentle kiss from Mum. We do appreciate how very difficult it is to talk about and truly appreciate that you are sharing lil man with us.

Keep safe in the storms

lots of love and tailwags,

Ben xxxx

Moco said...

Gizmo has been the best of mentors to you. You can not ask for a better older brother. When his time comes we will all be sad, but he will be at the Bridge with all the ones who went before telling them how well you are doing with the knowledge he left you.

Just remember that Gizmo knows how much you love him...He has been such a little fighter & has taught you soo many things...

When he is ready to go to the Bridge, I am sure he will let you know & he will watch over you from there...

Our hearts & our love go out to you...

JB's Big and Small Worlds said...

Hi Deetz,
Wishing you a happy weekend, and hope Gizmo hangs in there with all the rain you are having. It is super sunny here now but they say Ike is coming. I am not going to put out our new birdhouse or the toadhouse till after Ike passes because they say it will be very windy.
Purrs to you, my best bud!

Hi Deetz, I came over from JB's place.
I just wanted to give you a hug. Even though Gizmo is 17, seeing him getting weaker is never easy. You are never prepared. You will feel very sad,but when you feel better, think about the good times.
((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))))))))))

Jans Funny Farm said...

17 years is a long life but not long enough for those that love Gizmo.

Glad he's passed on everything to you so you can take care of your mom when his time comes.

Hi, Deetz -

That was a huge package you sent to JB. We went to her blog and read about Gizmo too. We know that this is a sad and difficult time for all of you.

You are a great brother to Gizmo. He is very wise to share his wisdom with you.

We hope you have a good weekend. Glad you like our pictures of my trip to Cape Cod.

Love -

Hey Deetzy boy. We understand how hard it is for you & your momma. We wish we had the words, but all we can think of is this. Y'all are in our hearts, we have felt this pain too and know it isn't easy. We will hope she will give you the gift of picking her time, rather than you having to help her.(That's what our momma always wished for. Not to make the decision. She got her wish a time or 2.) We hold you all in our hearts. We love you guys,
Hugs,
Suy,Scooter&Jamie
