Hi Everybody... Robin here.
Our elder cat, Mow, was my inspiration for stitching this canvas. He would curl up at the edge of the sofa and sleep for hours. I stitched this piece with Amy during her canvas enhancement classes. I used Black Fishing Line for his Whiskers. I like the Ribbon Flowers as well as the Raised Leaf stitch for the Leaves. The Twisted Cord Fringe was a nice delicate touch to the throw on the back of the chair.
Last night Mow died. We are so thankful for the many years of companionship he gave us.
Thank you for letting us share this moment. Hugs, Robin and Pat
Awww, Robin, so sorry that Mow crossed over the Rainbow Bridge. I know from my heart how difficult it is to lose a beloved pet. They are so wonderful to share their lives with us, and we are so lucky to have them. Cherish your memories of your precious baby. Hugs,

Thank you Denise. I was sad to see him go but glad to be with him for his last breath. Hugs to you and your mews.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for your loss Robin, I know it is a difficult time. But I do believe our pets will be waiting for us wherever we go when it is our time. The sweet memories are the ones to cherish till then. Good thing you stitched that piece. In some way it will be as if he has neve left. Big hug
ReplyDeleteHi Palma. Thank you for your kind words. Our pets are our "children" and we do the world for them. They lower our blood pressure and make us laugh. Big hugs to you.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, Robin. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteRobin & Pat, I am so sorry and my heart aches for you and the mews;-(
ReplyDeleteHi Jane. Thanks. Mow had a good life with us. He started out on the streets in Bartlett (a suburb near Memphis) and befriended Pat's sister's family. She had more than she could handle, and brought Mow over to comfort Pat's Mom. We have had Mow since 2001. His actual age is unknown, but our vet suspected he could have been 18 years old. Thanks for letting me share Mow's story. Hugs to you and Watson.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful story and what a wonderful life he had with all of you. He was your baby and what joy he brought to you and Pat. Big hugs and its difficult but so many memories to comfort you.

I'm so sorry Robin!
ReplyDeleteRobin, I am so so sorry to hear about Mow. We lost our beloved Aussie dog in January and we are still a mess. I bet our Marley met your Mow as he crossed the bridge. Marley always thought she was a cat, so I am sure she was on the lookout for a new cat friend. Hugs to you. Kelly
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about your loss; we've lost 7 babies in all and it is heart-rending each time but the memories are priceless. Even now when we see a big full moon we call it a "Studebaker Moon". He was a big black long-haired sweetie who went nuts and howled at the full moon each month. I know you are comfoted to have these reminders of your sweet boy. I'll be thinking of you and sending good vibes your way.
ReplyDeleteA big Hug to all of you. Your support has been appreciated. Thanks, Robin
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear about Mow! Hugs to you both~
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your loss. I hope that having the piece that Mow inspired will be a reminder of happy times.
