In Memoriam Dealing with Deaths of Pets
As I was catching up on one of my favorite forums bikeforums.net I came across this topic that set my mind in motion, to think of the fact that many in the world today have experienced loss, whether a family member or a family pet that was emotionally taxing. In it the soft insides of who we are slowly immerse themselves in a new light. It is those feeling, those beats of your heart that you truly see how deeply in love you were with this entity. With this pet, that only offered unconditional love and companionship in your own trials and tribulations. In this thread the soft underbody of who we are as human beings. Those emotions often kept under lock and key fearing for hurt, fearing for loss break lose and in that you truly feel the depth of your perception of this loss.. This topic in itself is a difficult one for anyone to deal with, though it is par for the course of life, even with Focusing Forward through life there is always those inevitable moments of frustration, those challenges that appear those low times on the rollercoaster that is often our life. In those low times, in that loss of a pet or family member we enter that state where things are most certainly difficult. A popular quote goes
it is in that interpretation of the glass full or the glass half empty that you truly see more of who you are. Perhaps a side you are not so interested in, the darker part of yoru being. Or just simply the most supple part of who we are. The area that we do not want to be hurt. The area of our being that is in line with the sadness, the loss that is a part of life as we live it.
With Fluffy G Passing, and Panda just previous to that it was most certainly a challenging time, a time where family came together to remember to recall what we loved about these two animals who had passed so suddenly. It may of been a very long time between the time they came to the house and the time they died we pay no attention to time when there is such love. Often we really have no clue how much time passes as it often passes so quickly it seems like only moments. These two cats who passed to early, are still remembered the collars once worn still remains as a standing memorial. For Panda her ashes are within a box by my Mothers bed and a picture of her right above it. The impact of such love and such caring is never forgotten. Perhaps the physical beings of these animals arelost but their memory continues to reside for as many years as we are alive and even beyond that.

Greetings and hello fellow pet lovers ... and regular visitors to rlmi-petsandpictures I wanted to keep you up to date on some of the exciting changes on the site, and additions to this blog and the others that are in line.
- With the
Project in full swing I figured I would add a new page to the site as you can guess it is simple enough and you can enter it simply by clicking on pnc.hok-international.net or clicking the image above. The choice is yours. The Paws not Claws Project is still early in development though I feel it can be a wonderful resource for those with younger pets such as our kitten litte mona:
- Who is just in par along with the recommendations that were found at petplace.com as a younger kitten who is growing more each day.
There is so much more for her to explore, and for now that is only the beginning of a longer thought coming soon.

Kittens and Growth - Training and Solutions
Challenges with Kittens - Some Possible Solutions.
How many owners out there have kittens? They can be wonderful sometimes right? Well what about the other times, when they are misbehaving, what do you do to bring them back under control? Do you just let it go and hope it solves itself or do you take action? The link above is a point of discussion as I am sure we each have different experiences with our kittens, why not share your view and read what others have said about similar situations.

Pets are amazing
When I look at little mona or any of these amazing pets, it astounds me that when you talk to them they seem to be quite interested in what you have to say, in fact they appear as if they understand every word of it or just intrigued by the sound of the voice.
Mona is a bright kitten so my guess is she understands more then most, although with so many pets in a home, there is bound to be a connection amongst each of them. As there is a reason they decided to stay here, certainly there is ample opportunity to go and run, but thus far even if they do go out. They come back, to a place they consider home. A place where there is love and caring and fresh food and water. Even a farrow cat in time can be trusting. Not as much as you may like. Though with love so much is surely possible, as such it intrigues to me observe these animals. And to note the love so freely offered to their owners. Why is it in this day and age what was once unconditional in some aspects has become conditional. Depending on to many variables, unconditional love sometimes appears lost.
In society today it does make sense to be weary, with the diversity of the world today but does that mean for those you hold close you should also set conditions?

Daisy's YouTube Debut



Daisy, has always been an outdoor cat, ever since the day she came into this world, that by cat years was a long time ago. This cat called Daisy is a senior now and I wonder if she could talk what stories will she tell. Gonna have to start studying cat whispering, perhaps the secrets can actually be understood. We shall see how it will go in the end. So far as it goes Daisy has had her first youtube debut:


One Variation ... there is more to come this is early on in the production phases of the pets in the family series :) So enjoy it and comment or rate. Make it interesting for all those concerned.
Pets are awesome fun don't you agree?

The Coming Together Of Two Cats
Two Cats coming together Over Generations:




You ever notice how similar a cat is to a person? In the sense that when a cat meets another animal for the first time the initial viewpoint is one in which this new addition poses a threat.
To A pet who has had a home to itself for so long. So As time Progresses and the pecking order is established, you get great shots. Of A united set in love of the family that takes such good care of them. And so it has gone, when Mona first showed up here Marcy was not all that excited and showed it quite clearly, by nearly teaching the kitten in her own way how things are to be. The day shows up and this picture came about:
Truly unconditional love, sure many of you may say, well a cat is not supposed to be on the table, and maybe you will give me a thing or two about taking care of animals in keeping them in line. I will listen and I will interpret. These two cats now are like Mother & Adopted Daughter and it is a wonderful thing to see. Animals truly are caring, and unconditional in their love for you. So that is todays story there will be more to come in the future.

Mona - Growing
That sweet kitten continues to become more and more mature. Acting like the teenager as by cat years that is what she is. Have some updated photos but that is an ongoing process in placing them here. More to come soon.
