Today was my Gotcha Day!

December 23th, 4 years ago, I came to live with my mom and my grandparents. And guess what?? My mom did not remember it! Can you believe it?? I came to change her life and she forgot about it! Maybe it is because I was very sick and she spent those days crying and crying thinking I was going to die! But, thankfully.... I am here.... healthy and happy!
***
Today was a crazy day around here. Everyone coming and going all day long. Shopping, cooking, wrapping presents. More shopping in the afternoon. More wrapping presents. And we, the furkids had a nice day...

We went out for a walkie...
We saw my kitty friend...

I wanted to say hello...

*****************************
Later, while Natasha and Spike were having their lunch...
I found a plastic strap...

Then Natasha came and wanted to play!
It was amazing because she never wants to play with me!

After a while...

Natasha having a nap...

Spike... trying to have a nap...

Me... with my grandpa... trying to have a nap...


My mom told me, we have now everything we need for our Christmas Eve dinner and the ladies will start cooking tomorrow morning.
The menu: shrimp cocktail, mushroom cream, spaguetti, turkey, green salad, apple salad, marshmallows with fruit and cream dessert, and cake!
Diet?? Nope. That word will not apply tomorrow!
******************************************************
I hope you all have a pawesome day with your families too!
Merry Christmas!

  1. Hi, Lorenza -

    It looks like you, Natasha and Spike are having lots of fun. Mama, Papa and I are going to New Hampshire Christmas night to see Grammy, Kaci, my cousins and uncle.

    We hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas!

  5. Lorenza,
    I didn't know about your gotcha story. That's so sad that you were sick and your mom was crying. You must've had a rough beginning, but now you're sure sitting pretty, as healthy as can be.

    Happy Gotcha Day and Merry Christmas. Enjoy your feast with the family!

    Your menu sounds yummy. Don't suppose you have 9 empty seats available? (We'd leave Jan home. She eats a lot.)

  17. Spike is a fine looking furbody, he looks a bit like me. It is a better idea to have dinner Christmas Eve, I know a lot of country's do. I guess then you have nibbles Christmas day and play with us furbodys with our toys all day. We have our special dinner on Christmas day. We have to put our toys away and tidy up just to eat.

  20. So much napping! You guys look like you're enjoying the holidays!

    And I'm sure your momma will always remember how special you are and how you changed her life. Maybe not the exact day, but she'll remember every day that you spend together. Here's to many many many more years to changing our Mommas lives!

    Merry Christmas!

  26. Happy Gotcha Day Lorenza, we are so glad that you had a happy ending!
    It must have been a very scary time for your mom so you need to have double celebrations.
    You looked cosy in your sweater and so did Natasha.
    We thought for a minute Bobby had come to visit you but we see it was Spike - wonder if they are related.
    Have a grat xmas.
