Hello gang, thanks for stopping by for our Thankful Thursday Blog Hop. I am always thankful to each of you for joining us! Each and every Thursday we share the things for which we are most thankful and we always enjoy reading all of the things you are thankful for too. If you are new to our Thankful Thursday Blog Hop, thanks for hopping in, we really do get excited when new blogger pals join us!
Today we’re really thankful for two things. First, the outpouring of love and support over the loss of our dear Dolly. We were touched by the hundred or so comments on our blog, the personal messages and emails along with the hundreds of comments on social media. Each meant so much to us all. We miss that sweet gal so much.
Secondly, you may or may not have heard, but our Dad became ill the following day, ended up going to the Emergency Department at 2:00 pm and had surgery at 6:30 pm for Acute Appendicitis. That quick turn around included tons of labs and a CatScan (I didn’t know they had cats there). He had to spend the night at the hospital and he came home around 5:00 pm today. We’re super thankful for the professional, prompt and immediate care he received. It’s one of the best hospitals around here, our Dad used to work there, and yes, he knew the amazing surgeon that was on duty.
Okay, that’s it for me, what are you thankful for today? Tell us in the comments and then join us for our Thankful Thursday Blog Hop. Remember, adopt cats, we deserve it!!!!! More Forever Homes More Often! Purrrrr! Zip! Later!
We’re so glad to hear your dad is home and recovering well. What an upsetting few days you all have had. We are keeping our paws crossed that your dad makes a full and quick recovery.
I am thankful that your dad is home, Brian and alright. Love to all of you.
It’s so good to know your Dad is okay! As i was preparing my post for tomorrow, i was wondering if he’d feel up to hosting today. Whether he did or not, i was going to be thankful anyway!
We are super-extra thankful that your wonderful dad did so well with his surgery and that he is home with all of you. You need to give him lots of purrs and licks and comfort! We know sweet beautiful Dolly is keeping watch over him from across the Bridge. We wish you a peaceful time together as your dad recovers and all of you begin to adjust to all that’s happened in these past few days. We love you and send lots of good vibes to your Dad! XO & purrs from Buddy and Gigi and the Human

Double Drat! Mr. Linky would not let me change my photo as I accidentally used the same one. Althoguh I wrote a bit about 2 black cats I know, they were different. Ah…it is late. We will pray your dad is healing nicely. THat happened to me at my girfriends wedding where I was the maid of honor. My other friends dad was my anesthesiologist. He was pulling hairpins out of my upswept hair while the nurse took the polish off my fingers and toes. My gf married two days after Christmas so I wore red hahahaha Dad, get well… Read more »

You all have had a rough week. We still can’t believe precious Dolly is gone. Thankfully your dad got great care and is home with you all to recover. Get some rest and love lots on each other.
Brian buddy, what a week you’ve had! Ms. Purr has been purraying for you and your family and the rest of us do our best to help – Purrseidon is our in=houses purramedic.
Remember, feelings are basically a choice, so I hope y’all choose happiness – Pawsephone claims it has a higher frequency, which aids healing.

When it rains, it pours. I hope your Dad is recovering well. I had an appendectomy almost 40 years ago. They said my appendix was “perforated” which is deadly. I was in the hospital for five days. I think I am lucky to be here now.
Oh my goodness, you’ve all had such a rough time lately. I’m very glad your Dad is home and okay. I’m sending you all warm gentle hugs and extra healing energy for your Dad. I hope his recovery is full and swift.
Our biggest thank you today is that your dad is home and recovering, Brian. We know his heart will take longer to heal than his body, but it will happen. Lots of love from us all. XOX Xena, Lucy, Chia, Riley and our Mom
I am glad your dad is home. Hoping for a speedy recovery. Hugs to your family.
Me and my dad are hoping your dad makes a quicker than quick recovery now that he’s safely back home post-surgery. And yeah, that’s a lot to have to have dealt with over the course of two sad, scary days.
Well, we are certainly thankful that your Dad is OK, but we’re so sorry he had to go through that, especially right after your loss of sweet Dolly. What a tough time for your family. Our hearts and prayers are with you that things get better from here on out. ♥
We’ve been sending tons of purrs to your house, Brian.
So sad that Angel Dolly earned her wings so suddenly.
And as for your dad, tell him to relax and heal; it’s been a rough few days!
More hugs and purrs from us.
Whew, what an awful few days for the family. Glad dad is home and recovering nicely. No jumping on his belly!
I am thankful that your Dad is OK and home. Thank you for hosting. XO
I wish your dad a quick recovery from the surgery, and I’m sending healing thoughts to all of you.
What a rough time! I’m very glad that your Dad got help so fast and is now home! That’s the best place for healing. We hope he has a fast recovery!
I’m still leaky eyed over the loss of precious Dolly.
I’m glad you came through your surgery so well. Don’t laugh or cough for a while. You’ll be back to your old self in no time. Prayers continue.
