A ZOOLATRY ANNIVERSARY


Five years ago, Great Grandma came from the cold and snowy north to the sunshine and palm trees of Florida. She came to live with us. We didn't live with the Zoolatry Humans at that time. A cute little beagle named Chessie lived here. Then Chessie took a run and a jump (she loved to run) over the Rainbow Bridge and we got adopted. Just like Great Grandma got adopted. It's fun living with GG and she is the oldest person (or cat) we know cause she is almost 95! In her bedroom there are lots of tissues and I have a paper fetish so I like to steal them. In her closet she has some funny shoes she's supposed to wear, but the ZH said, "let's have fun... let's have you wear Nike's!". So, now she's our Nike Nana. And she has lots and lots of toys, too. Maggy and I each have a walker to ride on. That's kind of strange now that you think of it -- to ride a walker! And when we shower we can sit on a bench! Sometimes a little man-cat comes to visit and GG really has fun with him. He used to be on all-fours just like us, now he walks and gets into many things so everyone says "watch the baby" all the time! Sometimes we all go out places with GG, and we went to see a real Florida panther... but I told GG and the little girl-cat that I would protect them. I also told GG not to be scared of the gator daughter-bean has, after all, it's only a little one. The big ones are usually in the streets and driveways. Great Grandma is a good, sweet and kind lady. Sometimes we can nap on her bed, which has warming things on it and feels good. It's great to live with Great Grandma.

  12. woah - your GG looks so YOUNG! She looks positivibely jubilant! I can see all of her energy just from looking at the photos. How wonderful to have such a thin, efficient, senior slave at your beck and call. I think her Nikes are excellent for running around after the felines. Congratulations to your GG - she is an inspiration for us all. Even my human is inspired and that certainly takes a lot, fat slovenly cretin that she is.

  20. Your great-grandma looks very nice! I have a great grandma, too, and she just turned 90 this month. You are lucky that your GG gets to live with you! My GG lives in another state and I have never gotten to meet her, even though she loves cats.

  21. Happy Anniversary to Great Grandma and all the kitties & beans at Zoolatry.

    Sounds kinda like GG is enjoying the Florida weather and critters both.

  22. How wonderful that you have you GG with you. I'm sure she loves you lots. I don't have a G or a GG 'cause they're the bridge already, but I think if I had one she'd play with me all day.
