Buttons and Bows

“And I’m all yours,

In buttons and bows.”

 

Dinah Shore

 

They are adorable sisters

Little Buttons and Bows

We weren’t gonna keep them

To a shelter, they were gonna go

 

They were born, out in our garage

We soon took them in, from the cold

With our house, already filled with critters

We were adopting them out at eight weeks old

 

But the shelters are all full, these days

And these two, are such a delightful pair

We never see either one, without the other

Buttons and Bows are side by side, everywhere

 

Buttons got her name from her four white paws

Bows has little white markings, on each of her legs

These two, love to follow after my wife, all the time

So she decided to name them Buttons & Bows, one day

 

They have a mischievous brother named Billy the Kid

Who follows after me every day – he’s our Daddy’s Boy

But these two, little Buttons and Bows, are Momma’s Girls

And these days, they both give my spouse, much love and joy

 

They are adorable sisters,

Little Buttons and Bows;

We weren’t gonna keep them,

To a shelter, they were gonna go.

 

But the shelters are all full, these days,

So many, need Homes for the Holidays;

Your own Buttons & Bows may be waiting,

Why not visit your local animal shelter, today.

Little Buttons and Bows (and Billy the Kid and their other little brother) are all very lucky little kitties to have such a loving home with you and Rebecca, Ed. Sweetie must be such a proud Mama Kitty!

If everybody had your heart and compassion, there would be no need for shelters, Button and Bows are two fortunate sisters :) May the cheer of adopting spread

Awww, Ed, this is too cute! Adorable; well done!

Wish we could have a kitty, but no go. BUMMER! (If we could, we'd have a Ragdoll and a Maine Coon.)

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend, Karen Lynn in Texas. :D

Give Buttons and Bows masses of (((HUGS))), kisses, pats, and purrs from me in Texas! *purring*

Awwe, so precious: I love kitties. Unfortunately, our apartment owner doesn't. NO cats. Dogs, birds, fish, yes. NO cats. Sad. Thousand dollar pet deposit in the case of dogs. They make it rough for animal lovers like us. :( Give Buttons and Bows masses of pats and purrs from me and Karen.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

And all your other critters: give them a thousand dollars worth of love.

PeeWee, I think I will be forced to send you my Swedish Castle with many extra rooms if you are gonna collect more strays, cos heart room you don't need, yours are big enough, like that Noah's cruise liner!
