Our Seuss Day Entry!

Nellie and Koz do Dr Suess

 

Everywhere cats
Have shut off their purrs.
They’ve all gone to bed
Warm and soft inside their furs.

Then news came in
From the barn of the Goat
That a very small cat
With a lilac and white coat
Is yawning so wide
You can look down her throat.

A yawn is quite catching, you see. Like a cough.
It just takes one yawn to start other yawns off.
NOW the news has come in that some friends of Nellie’s
Are yawning so wide you can look right down into their Bellies.

Elventy seven one zillion,
four trillion and two
Cats are sleeping!
So…How about you?

When you put out YOUR light,
The the number will be
Elventy seven one zillion,
four trillion and three.

ALSO:

We received the the HUG award from Kozmo’s FBI Agent/friend Sammy. Sammy is a great cat who lives at One Spoiled Cat! His Mommy is a writer. Caren at Cat Chat just reviewed her Children’s Book here.

Me would like t0 nominate Goose and his Mom at the Gospel of Goose!

“The Rev. Michelle Perry and her dog, Goose, make beautiful ministry together.
Ms. Perry, a licensed local pastor at First UMC Marriott-Slaterville, Utah, and Goose, a 12-year-old Weimaraner, go together to visit shut-ins. They also collaborate on a blog called “Gospel of Goose,” with Ms. Perry writing in the dog’s voice to provide inspiration and raise funds for a local homeless shelter.
With Goose’s (and her church’s) blessing, Ms. Perry recently started a bring-your-dog worship service. A Type 1 diabetic, Ms. Perry not only loves Goose but has needed him at times to keep going, since he has learned to alert her when her appearance suggests low glucose levels.
A dog may be man’s best friend, but it’s hard to imagine a closer relationship than the one between this clergywoman and her pooch.
“He means everything to me,” she said. “He’s my companion. He’s a reflection of everything that’s good and loving and compassionate and caring. When they say a dog is a reflection of God’s love, through (Goose) it’s absolutely true.”
Ms. Perry has been part of First UMC Marriott-Slaterville, near Ogden, her whole life. She served as youth minister before becoming associate pastor, and actually lived at the church for years.
Her life took a turn one day when she went to the pet store to get some rocks for her lizard.
“A rescue group was there with some dogs and cats,” she said. “I walked out with Goose. He was six months old.”

From the United Methodist Portal and An interview by Sam Hodges
Goose is one of my bestest friends and he and his Mommy fulfill all of the requirements of the Hug Award!

Me Loves yous Goose! Please don’t put Allred into boxes anymore.

    • Dear Rumpy,
      Thanks yous, but me was really not all that original. Lots came from my human brother’s favorite book, The Sleep Book. Mommy says she readed it so many times, she will never ever forget the words!
      Kisses
      Nellie

  1. Oh Nellie Bellie I just love your poem! And thank you so much for the Award. I can’t believe it. Thank you Thank You. I guess I need to live up to it.
    I promise no more boxes for Allred. MOM went and had a little chat with Allred tonight. I looked like it was going real well at first, but… Well when you see the pictures you’ll see what I mean.
    Thanks again sweet Nellie.
    Blessings,
    Goose

    • Dearest Goose,
      Has me told yous how much me admires yous? Your Mommy sure communicates with animals well, even ones as territorial as Allred.
      Kisses
      Nellie

  5. That is a great poem and picture! We haven’t done a Seuss post. We didn’t know who he was until we googled him. Maybe another time.
    Concats on your well deserved award.

    • Dear Eric and Flynn
      Thanks! Mommy says that Dr Seuss books came out when her sisters were little, so she did not read them until she readed them to them. And she readed them to her kids. She actually met Dr Seuss when she went to Art School! Some of his art and writing is a little risque.
      Kisses
      Nellie

  6. Hi Nellie! I’m glad you like your HUG award….Mom and I appreciate the “plug” for my blog and her book (not necessarily in that order….haha).
