TO MAMA JUDI BUG

Yesterday morning Mom and I received word that our dear 
friend Ms. Judi, Mom the Cool Cats at SASS,  passed away
after a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer.
Ms. Judi was always there to offer a helping hand, encouragement and lots of love  to all whether she knew you or not.  Anyone who knew Ms. Judi will remember how she started offering to 'hat' our furbabes.  She was quite talented at 
putting just the right hat on each pet.  Her signature was a 
lady bug. 


Today we pay tribute to Ms. Judi by showing you some of my hats
by 
JUDI

This was my first hat and my official Easter Bonnet
in 2009.  Most folks who saw this purrfectly placed hat
actually thought I was wearing it.  MOL
In 2010 there was a fun event going on in blogville,
Ms. Judi and Ms. Ann @ Zoolatry asked us to describe
ourselves with one word and they they would hat us accordingly.
Mom told Ms. Judi after a week of living w/ me she wished she had named me DIVA.  Ms. Judi thought that was a hoot!!
She loved having fun and laughing
We just loved this girly pink cap she gave me

Mom can create captions/stories to go with my pictures all day long but SHE CANNOT make buttons and SHE CANNOT make headers.
Lo and behold Ms. Judi surprised in the fall of 2010 with this great
Christmas button.  Do you see the little lady bug in the cap?
Mom uses it every year on my blog...

Last BUT not least...this is our favorite
Ms. Judi surprised us again with this wonderful 
Gotcha Day Button on the anniversary of my 9th Gotcha Day.  
Every time Ms. Judi left a comment on my blog she always, always, always ended with 

"We love you Mads"


Every time Mom and I saw that ending we smiled.  Mom uses this
button on each year on my Gotcha Day, May 11, 2002.

MAMA JUDI BUG 
MADS AND MOM  WE WILL NEVER FORGET YOU.  EACH TIME WE USE YOUR ART WORK YOU WILL BE REMEMBERED WITH LOVE.
REST IN PEACE.

  16. Judy was a very generous person indeed!!! After our Molly died, Judy wrote to me and asked if would I mind if she hatted Molly posthumously because she didn't want her to be left out :-) I'll never forget how sweet that was!
