Hugs in Honor of Bonnie

Bonnie was one of the first cats we met when we started blogging.
She was the Original Attack Tabby and Missy Blue Eyes' role model.
Missy developed the Biggie Hissy after studying Bonnie.
To say Bonnie will be missed is such an understatement.
She took a bit of each of our hearts with her to the Rainbow Bridge.
(Thank you, Zoolatry, for the beautiful graphic)
The sudden loss of a dear friend like Bonnie left us heartbroken.
We were not going to post today until we saw the Meezers blog
and "borrowed" Sammy, Miles & Billy's idea of a Day of Hugs.
Derby went further and made it first the whole weekend,
then an entire Holiday of Hugs.
Now the Cat Blogosphere has officially named
the 4th weekend in May as HUG WEEKEND!

As the Meezers said on their blog,
"Losing a friend like Bonnie so suddenly made us realize
that we can never say Thank you or We Love You All often enough
"

We have made so many friends in the blogosphere.
Everyday we share our lives, our joys, and our sorrows.
To all these friends, we thank you and we love you.

Just saw Kashim & Othello's blog and we are "borrowing"
their idea and upgrading to a Weekend of Hugs!
So, in honor of Miss Bonnie Underfoot
and the Day / Weekend / Holiday of HUGS....

Love, The Sherwood Bunch

Thank you for all of the birthday wishes.
(Thanks, Zoolatry, that's my favorite photo of Missy.)

  34. It is never easy to lose a friend. There just are no words to express the sadness we feel.... We hope that the warm memories of Bonnie will help everyone through the rough times ahead. She was also one of the first cats me met when we started blog several years ago.

    We do want to wish you a happy birthday and thank you for spreading the hugs. Sending you all a big one from Italy.
    Love,
    Opus and Roscoe

  36. Thank you, ML! Please enjoy YOUR day! Bonnie would insist. She had so much cattitude. Everyone needs hugs now and that's a wonderful idea. Bonnie wasn't a very huggable cat, but we hugged her anyway.

    Have a very happy birthday, surrounded by huggable kitties! Don't let Victor steal any of your whipped cream!
