Photohunt: *FAVE* Remembering Dash Kitten, a True Fave of the Blogosphere

Graphic by GLOGIRLY DESIGN ©2013

Dearest Kitties & Friends,

It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we share the news of our dear friend and New Zealand anipal, Dash Kitten. Dash unexpectedly and tragically left our world for rainbow filled skies this week.

Dash and his heart-of-gold human, Marjorie, are best known in the Twittersphere for their passionate and selfless work helping animals in crisis and in need. Dash and Marjorie have been quickly making a home for themselves in the Blogosphere as well. Their kindness and support are everywhere. From heartfelt comments left on blog posts to sharing other bloggers' content on their social media platforms, the support of their friends and fellow bloggers sparkles like a shining star.

It's hard to find words. We want to much to reach out and hug our far-away friend. But in the blogosphere, where we must rely on our fingers and keyboards to convey our emotions...it's impossible to get it just right.

So Dash, we give you a pair of Superhero Angel Wings. Made just for you. Fly free. Fly forever.

love,
Katie, Waffles & Glogirly

Kitty Love For Our US Marines ♥

Katie, "Is He Home Yet?"

Hi everyone, Katie here.

It's Memorial Day weekend here in the US. The actual holiday is observed tomorrow, but all over the United States, our thoughts turn to three-day-weekends, barbecues and wand toys. ...ok, we were already thinking of wand toys long ago. We also remember those that have served and continue to serve our country. Those that through their actions, commitment and loyalty, preserve and protect our freedom. A freedom that's so intangible, we almost forget about it.

Looking Up To My US Marine

Here at the Townhouse, our thoughts turn to two very special veterans. Each served their country as a US Marine.

And although they served decades apart, their strength of character and selfless compassion makes them brothers.

Glogirly's dad served in the Pacific Theatre of WWII. He fought on the islands of Saipan, Tinian and eventually Iwo Jima. He didn't talk much about what he saw, what had to be done. But he was proud. He was a man of true character. Strong. He was also a man of compassion. He was, and will always be, Glogirly's hero.

Gabe, Glogirly's stepson, recently returned home from his four year tour of duty in the US Marines. Gabe's dedication and commitment are something we are all so very proud of.

When he graduated from Basic Training, at the same Marine Corp Recruit Depot in San Diego that Glogirly's dad trained at some 70 years ago, he told Glogirly how much he admired the men like her dad. He said they were the real deal, the true heros. That brought a tear or two to her eyes. And an admiration for Gabe that will never falter. Semper Fi.

Kisses for my US Marine

Oh, and did we mention he loves cats?
