Birthdays

This post is about a couple birthdays. First I must explain the handicap I am up against at the moment. In short, I only have one eye with vision and it is giving me lots of trouble. It is impossible to see clearly. It is very difficult to read no matter what I do. Doing a post is very difficult. That said, the good news is that it is not permanent, and I must just suffer through for now. I have had this problem many times before. I do have some long posts I did in the past which I am saving. Soon I may put them out slowly.  It makes it difficult for me to read, like and comment on everyone’s posts as well–especially German ones.  I try.

What has this to do with birthdays? I have missed reporting Opie’s birthday in April and Marigold has a birthday this month. It is too difficult to make “clever” cards to post, so this I can do. Opie had her 7th birthday, and Marigold will be 13 years old this month. I am glad they are both healthy. They have always been healthy. I have found a photo of them together in the catio from last year, so here it is in honor of their birthdays.

  4. Liebe Greg,
    ich wünsche dir gute Besserung.
    Ich sehe seit meiner Jugend nur noch auf einem Auge. Und mittlerweile ist das sehende Auge auch nicht mehr so top. Bin aber froh etwas sehen zu können.
    Den beiden Hübschen gratuliere ich nachträglich zu ihrem Geburtstag. Schön das beide so gesund sind. Eine Freude.

    Liebe Grüsse
    Julia

  5. That is a great photo! I’m sorry you’re having vision problems. That must be frustrating. I hope the kitties are some comfort.

  9. We just acquired another dog. He fits in well and gets along with the cats. His person is going into the hospital and not expected to get out alive. He wanted to find homes for his dogs.

    With 5 dogs and 3 cats that were all rescues, I don’t know their exact birth dates. Opie and Marigold are fortunate to have a human (0r humans) who have loved them since the very beginning and give them a good life.
