I would like to take this opportunity to wish all those readers of Whizzbangsblog a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I would also like to say thank you to all those companies that have sponsored my blog over the last twelve months. Your continued support has inspired me to keep on writing about domains and business on the Internet.
In particular, I would like to highlight:
It’s with a sense of sadness and loss in my heart that I approach Christmas this year. A few days ago, Pepper, my feline friend of 16 years, passed away. She was a great friend that was the subject of many Saturday Musings over the years.
When I was working late at night she would come and curl up on the carpet next to me. At some point she would nudge me with her nose, hoping for a scratch behind the ears and to let me know it was time to stop working.
Whenever I went away on business my wife told me Pepper would sit in my study and look out the window waiting for my return. When I finally arrived back home she would scold me in a very cat-like fashion until she allowed me to give her a bit of a pat again….after all, I didn’t get her permission to leave the house.
We normally wrap a present for Pepper and stick it under the tree….typically, it’s her turkey dinner. Sadly, this year we’re not going to be doing that. Although there is a sense of loss I know she is lazing away in the sun in cat heaven.
So in memory of Pepper I would like to highlight a number of past blogs where she featured:
Saturday Musings – Why My Cat Is a Genius!
Saturday Musings – Why Cats Are Geniuses
Saturday Musings – Being Obedient To Our Masters
Saturday Musings – When Someone Spoils Your Week….
I hope you enjoy reading those articles as much as I did writing them.
Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Michael Gilmour
