Finley's Last Will and Test-a-Mint

Well pals, it has been a busy few days around here.


The mommas seem almost as obsessed wif boxes lately as we are!


And for some reason, we aren't supposed to play in these boxes. BORING!


Not that Bowie hasn't been climbing them and being a crazy pants anyways.


I've mostly just been hanging out OUT of the way.


Anyways, today the dogs wuz snuffing around da toy basket, and they found a piece of paper all tied up.


It wuz Finley's last will and test-a-mint.


Here are a transcript in case ya is havin a tuff time reading it:

LAST WILL AND TEST-A-MINT OF FINLEY ROSE HARRIS

 

I, Finley Rose Harris, being of sound mind (don’t pay no nevfur mind to those de-mint-sha rumors) and unfit body (thanks fur nuthin’ Arthur itis) do hereby give, devise, and bequeath my worldly goods and duties in da followin’ manner…..

 

All my toys I leaves to Brinley Evangeline harris ‘ceptin’ fur my rainbow lamb chop which I leaves to Kinley Arielle harris to remember me by (ya can think of all da looks I gave ya dat I would send ya ovfur da rainbow if ya evfun thought about tryin’ to eat my fuds). ‘Fore ya gits to complainin’, Kinley, ya got all of whitley’s toys and you nevfur enfun met her and I always wanted all her toys….. we both wanted each udder’s toys and had a few kerfluffles ovfur dat fact. So, it’s only fair dat Brinley gits mine. She also gits my clothes—agin, Kinley, ya gots whit’s.  Each of ya gits a blanket…. Brinley gits da blue one, Kinley da purple.

 

Now we gits to the most important part of dis here doc-u-mint. Who takes ovfur as Head of Ranch Security in my absence? And I just got word dat we is gonna need 2 Heads of Ranch Security—one fur headquarters here in Plano, and anudder fur da new divishun in west Texas—Lubbock to be precise. I gave dis a lotta thought. What’s a pup to do when the pickins is slim and I aint talkin’ ‘bout da actor Slim Pickens…. But ya gotta deal wiff da cards you’re dealt evfun when da deck is full of jokers and short on aces.

 

Furst, I names Brinley da Head of Ranch Security here at HQ. Angie likes to hit the nip too much and den wander round yowlin…. Bowie literally goes plum loco and bounces offa da walls on a regular basis. Dey both lacks da necessary gravitas. I has my resurvashuns, though, cuz Brinley needs to pull her head outta da tv and attend to her duties. Da tv is not a threat and neither is windshield wipers on da tv. Bark at da coyotes and zombies outside of da house and leave yer programs long enuff to break up da kitty squabbles and ya should mature into da job…. I hopes.     

 

Now, as to Head of Ranch Security, West Texas Branch, dere is only one choice and dat is Travis Ford Harris. Wiff a name like dat ya knows he wuz born fur da job. Plus dere wuz no way on God’s green earth I wuz gonna leave such serious duties in da paws of a fluffbrain who had more fur dan brains. Ya is sweet, Kinley, but sweet isn’t whut’s necessary fur da job.  Besides, you and Bowie is da 2 main perpetrators of mayhem and mischief round here and do the most frequent stints in da hoosegow cuz of dat fact. How would it look to name a jailbird to be in charge of security?? Dat just wouldn’t be right. So Travis Ford it is. Besides, he likes wearin’ da sheriff hat and duz it well.

 

Well, dat’s all I gots to say. Guess y’all gits to eat right away now, no more waitin’ on yer elders to finish furst, hehehe. If ya is reading this, I has already headed fur my last roundup and rode off into da sunset.  I’s happy eatin’ steak and bacon, playin’ pool ball wiff Whitley, and snugglin’ wiff Jezebel. 

 

Bark ya later, gators……..



Rest assured Finley, I will take my job as Head of Ranch Security, West Texas Branch, wif the utmost responsibility such a posishun demands.


Bowie says - "responsibility? Who want's it?? I'm a rebel!!" 


I would say he's a rebel wifout a cause, but normally his cause is more cat food. Maybe a rebel wifout a clue. 


Angelique says she is above worrying about whatefur silly dogs have to say, even in their last wills and test-a-mints. 


Oh, and she also says to pass da nip.


I think Finley may have had a point about those two. I just wanna know - when can I get my sheriff hat outta one of those boxes??

Finley Rose 5/22/2006 - 7/15/2021

 

Our big sister, the self-appointed sheriff of the homestead, the HBIC, the friend to everycat, is gone.


We don't know for sure where she is, but we hope it is somewhere with an endless supply of bacon and steaks, a place where sweet dogs know no pain or itchies. And that Finley can meet up with her friends, Whitley, Jezebel, Charlie, Maurice, and Crockett.


I guess that means I am in charge now since I am the oldest animal in the house.


It's so sad here. 


We'll all miss Finley.

Finley's Celebration of Life

Finley will be making her way to da land of infinite steaks and bacon tomorrow around 2:30 central time.


It just seems like she is getting worse everyday. She's having a harder time walking and standing and seeming more and more disoriented and had a couple of incontinence issues. And the yelping in pain is getting worse - it takes her forever to exhaust herself and just go to sleep. 


We're gonna miss our big woofie sister.


She's always been very sweet to us kitties.


Finleys's had a tuff life wif her itchies and arthritis. She also had a low-grade heart murmur her entire life. She survived her hip dislocation back in April 2020 (including an infection from the sling where her leg was literally starting to rot) was her rally. She managed to walk again (although never very good) and make it a whole nother year.


But in true terrier fashion, she never gave up. 


We had a celebration of Finley dinner tonite - she got steak and vanilla ice cream. 


We got some steak too.


And she's going to get a bacon and egg breakfast tomorrow.


We're gonna miss our big sister.

Sunday Selfies

 

Hi pals. 


Well, it's been a tuff weekend around here. Finley are not doing well - she had a really tough morning on Saturday and just couldn't seem to settle down and get comfortable.


We appreciate all the purrs and POTP for her. She'll probably be making her way to the Endless Bacon Buffet later this week. The humans are sad, and so are we. She always wuz very sweet to us.


So I guess that explains the serious look in today's selfies.


The mommas are planning something speshul for her last meal since eating is about the only thing she likes anymore, she doesn't even want to sit with them or get pets or anything.


Anyways, we hope our pals have a good week.

Watermelon Kings (ok, and a Queen)

Well, things are still kinda down around here. Finley is doing a lil worse everyday - she's in pain and having a hard time standing/walking. She'll probably be making her journey to da land of Infinite Steaks and Bacon next week.  


But we thought we'd take a lil break from da sads and cheer everyone up by modeling our new watermelon bandanas. 


I think we're the real watermelon kings (ok, and a queen). I mean, Harry Styles WHO?

Finley Update

  

Hi pals. Well, our pup big sister Finley is not doing too good. We think she's going blind. She is having a harder and harder time walking and standing. And a lot of times, she yelps and screams.
  

Da mommas are not shure if it is pain or dementia. Probably a combination.  


She still likes to eat her food, but that's about it. Sometimes she wants a pat, but sometimes she doesn't because she hurts.


We all luv her and we hate seeing her hurt. She's always been a real good friend to us cats.  


Da mommas have said Finley are probably going to be making her trip to join Whitley, Jezebel, Charlie, Maurice, and Crockett in da Land of Infinite Steaks and Bacons soon.  


We know our blog are usually happy and silly, but dis are not either one of those. But we didn't want anyone to be caught off guard or surprised when Finley goes. She's over 15 and she never really recovered from her hip dislocation last spring. Da mommas luv her tons and have been trying to keep her comfortable, but lately she's even been having a hard time standing when they carry her outside to do her business. It sucks, we wish she could have had a better end. But she will get a big send-off with steak and lots of luv.
