TO SMOOCH OR NOT TO SMOOCH? & THANKFULS

July 5, 2026

Thoroughly Poetic Thursday

Time again to write a bit of poetry to accompany an inspiration photo provided by Angel Sammy and Teddy (Two Spoiled Cats).

I have not added one of the Kitties Blue to the photo in quite a long time, so I have added Audrey today. It is a rather silly little poem, but I hope you enjoy it.

To Smooch or Not to Smooch?

What a super cute pooch.
I wonder if I should give him a smooch?
That, however, is a super huge tongue.
If he kisses me back it could be my last one—
too much dog spit and I could drown
or at the very least slide right down
to the floor where I might be mangled
by those paws as big as anvils.
I think I best not make any advances.
I am uncertain of my chances—
of surviving!

Angel Sammy is the official poet at Two Spoiled Cats. Each Thursday, he transmits his poem from the Rainbow Bridge to brother Teddy. Angel Sammy is a wonderfully talented poet. We never miss reading his poems and suggest you do the same. You can find this week’s poem by clicking on the poetry badge. While visiting, check out the inspiration photo for next week and join us in writing some poetry. It can be loads of fun.

Thankful Thursday

Thursday also is our day to share some thankfuls from the past week.

Angel Sawyer and Stinky thank those who attended their birthday party here yesterday and the one celebrated on Tuesday at Friends Furever.

It reached 101 degrees F. yesterday and is supposed to be the same for the next couple of days. I am not a fan of the heat, but I’m super thankful that our swim/spa is now up and running, and we will be able to start enjoying it beginning tomorrow.

Kitties Blue and I appreciate each of you who visit the blog and comment, especially those who participate in the Sunday Selfies hop.

We’ll be joining Angel Brian’s Thankful Thursday blog hop. To do the same, click on the badge below.
