An elegy for Memorial Day
Bivouac of the Dead by Theodore O'Hara
The muffled drum's sad roll has beat
The soldier's last tattoo;
No more on Life's parade shall meet
That brave and fallen few.
On fame's eternal camping ground
Their silent tents to spread,
And glory guards, with solemn round
The bivouac of the dead.

Noah and Family Hello
I want to first say Thank You to all of my furiends who have welcomed me and sent such warmth and love to all of us catkids and to Dad! To quickly explain our absence it was financial. With no income for Dad and Savanah's medical costs rising Dad had no choice but to cut back and unfortunately the internet went away. Savanah is well....still a big girl but the Dr. says all is as good as can be. Still making monthly visits(HA HA for her...)but she is well. Dad is fully recovered! I never knew he could walk without something holding him up, it was good to see. Grammy is also doing well...she and Dad's sister would occassionly log on to keep us active learned that the hard way after his accident so a big Thank you to them. The internet was back up on Tuesday the 1st! That was a big YEAH. Unfortunately my big brother Tig sunddenly passed away that afternoon. He was my buddy and I miss him so, and I know Dad's heart is aching. He hasn't stopped crying. We spent the day yesterday trying to create Daddy's Angel page between all the tears it took some time. But wanted to say hello and let you know we are back! I know we missed so much during our absence, hopefully we will meow soon and slowly cath up.
With all of my Love and Purrs(I purr loud now)
Casper!Come visit me, Casper, "Daddy's Angels" Leo and Tigger & Sahara and the Girls.

HI NOAH
hello from hurricane central.we made it through the storm ok didn't even loose power but most of the state is without power.we had a few trees come down on the farm but nothing major dada had them cut up by Monday night.mama brought all the animals from the shelter to our house before the storm good thing she did cause it had a huge oak tree fall on it dada cut it up and is rebuilding the shelter now they lost power also so he brought his portable generator for power till it come back.I hide in dada's office all day Sunday the wind was sure howling we got 7 inches of rain in 24 hours.the hardest hit areas were down buy the ocean and around rivers.the kittens loved the storm they were in mama's bedroom looking out the window all day watching the wind blow.we have another adoption this weekend then fair season starts which will be fun dada sister is here from Michigan to help mama with all the shelter animals and to get ready for fair season.the lemon catnip was a huge hit at the cat show so good mama has ordered more seeds to plant in the green house.are you getting along with black jack? mama See's that you are on facebook check out feline welfare society there which is mama's shelter you can see the kittens there.I miss talking to you guys hope everything is alright.mama will look your mama up on facebook when she is on their which is not to often.she leaves the facebook stuff to one of the volunteers at the shelter who helps her.PURRS LILLYCome visit me, Lilly.

Hello Noah
What’s mew with you? We enjoyed Mommy being home from work with us last week. We ate & napped lots, plus we scrapbooked too! And guess what?! All three of us had hairballs last week. First it was Casper Todd, then MerryBelle and lastly I was barfy with a nasty hairball. Now Mommy thinks she is getting one too! It must be catching! tee hee.
We sure did miss our CC furiends while we were offline last week, although we did enjoy our little break. It’s good to be back.
Have a lovely day,
Kisses,
SissyCome visit me, ♥K Casper Todd♥ COTM August 2008, ♥Q MerryBelle - thanks for bday wishes & ♥Q Sissy♥ COTM July 2007.

HI NOAH
the adoption went well the application she got for Chloe didn't work out they never took their pets to the vet.the kittens are doing well almost three pounds mama has to clip their nails almost every day it seems you have to wear long pants when they're around our you get clawed to death.if your want to see pictures of them go to www.felinewelfaresociety.org they are getting bigger.the forth went well mama and dada had all their family over and they cooked out they had a clam bake and dada fired up the smoker for the first time this year.boy the fish and beef taste sooo yummy when he smokes it.thank you for the cat-nip seeds mama put then in a planter in the green house they are starting to grow you can see them poking through the soil.how are you getting along with Tate he kinda looks like one of the kittens Jayden mama call him cow cat because of his black and white spots.hope you are doing well glad to see mom got a new client I hear it has been hot down their I guess that is why they call it hot lanta.please keep in contact with us we love to hear from you.PURRS LILLYCome visit me, Lilly.

Hi Noah
How was your weekend? We had a fun time celebrating our PawPaw on Father’s Day. We got him a cute card & an American Patriot tshirt that says “Navy Seals 1 Bin Laden 0” on it. He liked it. Today it is 97 degrees, with heat index of 105 to 114. We are under a heat advisory here in southwest Mississippi. It has been almost 3 weeks since we received any rain. Boy do we need some! We are watering our lawn and flowers with the sprinklers. The birdies really like the sprinklers. I like to lay on my windowseat and watch them. Free entertainment!
Please don’t forget to vote in the Most Patriotic Contest. To vote:
On your left from this page, click on Cat Community.
Then click on Fun & Games.
Next, click on "Click Here to See All Cat Contests"
Then Click on Most Patriotic Cat. Look for my photo and click on my picture. Then Click the Vote button.
I would really appreciate your daily votes. Have a pawsome day!

Hi Noah
What’s purring with you today? It is super-duperly hot & humid here in Mississippi, with temps near 100 degrees. Thank goodness with all this long hair that I’m an inside only fellow.
In my mew profile pic, I am napping on our dining room table while holding a fishy toy in my little paws. Mommy said awww, that is too cute! That is my 2nd fav napping spot, my fav being Nana’s lap. What is your favorite napping spot?
So sorry about your Mom's relatives in Joplin. Our state has been hit hard too, first by tornadoes and now by floods.
Have a cool day.
Purrs,
Casper ToddCome visit me, ♥K Casper Todd♥ COTM August 2008, ♥Q MerryBelle - thanks for bday wishes & ♥Q Sissy♥ COTM July 2007.
