KALI; We’re saying goodbye to 2017. We did it, ladies! We made it. This calls for a fancy drink and a toast to ladies so crotchety, we refuse to be pushed out-of-the-way.
SARABI; How about a Vine Wine….you know silvervine. It makes your paws tingle. I want tingly paws today. We deserve it.
ALLIE; You are so right Sabrina…all for Vine Wine raise your paws. I see Amber, Binga, Binky, Ali, Sasha, Lily Olivia, Madi, and Kit. We have a majority ladies.
KALI; Before we clink our bowls together, I have a story to tell you….it’s true too.
MADI; Ok, Kali but our bowls are calling to us so let’s not get long-winded like you can at times.
This story concerns our very own protector, Buddy the Blue Russian Enforcer.
This is Buddy’s 10th Gotcha Day. Yep, 10 Gotcha Days with his family. He was 8 when he was adopted by his dad. The whole transfer was very hush-hush. His dad met an anonymous character at “Dunkin Donuts” at 9pm NewYear’s Eve. They exchanged words and the fellow showed our Buddy. Buddy was so big he had to be carried in a dog carrier….20 pounds! No doubt Buddy was big from sending out orders in the Blue Russian Mafia. Makes one wonder. Bud Bud has slimmed down and gone straight.
We raise…no, the bowls are too heavy. We slide our bowls together for a clink to our own Buddy and the upcoming year. KALI; Just push the duckies out of the way and have a grand sip of Vine Wine.
Everyone slides the wine into each other, pushes the duckie aside and yells… “To our Buddy!”
Have a wonderful New Year.
GIANT PS….Mom screwed up and put our Crotchety Cougars https://crotchetycougarsblog.wordpress.com/ in The Canadian Cats. We are sorry…last screw up of 2017…we hope.
Oh, Jean. Kail looks so much like my Amber, it brings tears to my eyes every time I see Kail’s picture. Give her a big squeeze for me. Hope this year won’t bring any more sad news to any of your cat buddies. I’m so sad today.
I hate to think you are so sad today. I wish there was something I could do. Kali is a dear but not well so I am happy to spend the time I can with her. I will give her a big hug for you, Elaine.
A vine wine to celebrate sounds absolutely divine. But does anyone know how it grades for longevity for us gals? I hear it might be good for crackling old joints. But I’ll give it a go if you ladies are having a glass. Cheers, ladies and to Buddy too! Happy New Year!
There once was a fine vine wine
Hung high from the Crotchety Cougars wind chime
But as the glasses went clinking
the Cougar gals stood blinking
As Buddy crept up from behind!

What a great toast (and I bet those ducks added a special flavor to that vine wine!). Buddy Budd deserves a toast (with jelly) and we hope that his whole family has GOOD HEALTH in 2018 – in fact, we hope you ladies do too – here’s to a happy and healthy year for all!
Am I to late for a little vine wine, Kali? I may not hope, just need a drink, now that my nip is asleep…MOL 😀 Pawkisses for a Happy Healthy and Peaceful New Year. Let’s make it a great one 🙂 ❤
