Until We Meet Again My Friends

Happy Trails

by Dale Evans Rogers

Some trails are happy ones,

Others are blue.

It's the way you ride the trail that counts,

Here's a happy one for you.

Happy trails to you,

Until we meet again.

Happy trails to you,

Keep smilin' until then.

Who cares about the clouds when we're together?

Just sing a song, and bring the sunny weather.

Happy trails to you.

Til we meet again.

Paris-The Last Day

The partying is done over at the CSI blog. Check out the last day's activities and you will find a mystery, medal, and the ceremony.

Thanks to all that have made the last five days so special. It is always great to see old friends and make new ones along the way. A special thanks to Karl, Momo, Asta, Opus, and Olive for surprising me with this wonderful getaway in Paris. I truly believe that they have out done themselves on this one.

I treasured all that I have met while blogging and hope to stay in touch checking things out with my sister Gracie. You all have been such wonderful friends.

Too much credit has been given to me about the productions of CCSI. Without all of you this award winning show would never have gotten off of the ground. The show is being left in good paws and production for the next show is already in the works.

My final post will be on Monday. Love and peace to all of you.

Retirement Party Day Four-Party At Versailles

Just when I thought the gang couldn't outdue themselves on the celebration of the last several days of my retirement party I found out quickly that I was wrong. They all put their furry little heads together and thought that the perfect place for a party would be at Versailles and rented it out for a private party, which all you are invited to attend.

There was dancing, authentic costumes for the dancing, and a Lifetime Achievement Award presented to me in honor of my contributions towards CCSI. So much more to tell you about it would be easier if you join the party over at the CCSI blog and join in on the fun because you are all invited to attend this most wonderful night of coming together as good friends.

A Retirement Party

The day has come that I have mixed feeling about, the time to say good bye but not wanting to. I am stepping down from my position at Little Productions, see yesterday's post. I have been blogging for two years and I treasure each and everyone of you that I got to know while on this journey. I have made many friends and have some friends that are like family, the family friends are the heart of the CCSI series. So it is only fitting that a small gathering was held in the executive boardroom for one last time together. Won't you please join us in my farewell.

Here we all are at the festivities, bottoms up toasting to my retirement. Oh what fun memories that we all share from our many adventures. What one of us couldn't think up to do the other one could.

After the party we all gathered outside the studio lot where my moving van was packed and waiting. I took this time to present Opus with the key to the studio lot. He will now be Executive Producer and I assured Asta, Karl, Ruis, Momo, & Olive that they would all be in good paws. Gracie looked on as we said our good byes, no I take that back we said until we meet again. We will meet again someday, I know for sure, as I will meet all of you again wether it be here in the blogging world or at the bridge. We will once again all play and have adventures.

When I left Opus, having the weight and future of the CCSI shows on him, took a walk through the studios and reflected on some of the fun things that we had shared. On the sound stage he felt his brother, Roscoe, presence and feeling the closeness of his brother knew that this was a task he would not take lightly but would take it on. He would continue to oversee the production and make sure that the highest of standards would always be part of each production. The future shows will be seen at: http://littleproductions-ccsi.blogspot.com/

I would like to present to you at this time the first look at the 2009-2010 season of the executives of Little Production, producers of the award winning CCSI: Cat/Canine Crime Scent Investigators.

Thanks so much for stopping by and for two years of your friendships. My final post will be on Monday.

ps: I just found out recently, like now, that the gang is taking me to Paris for my retirement celebration. I had told them I wanted to keep things simple but if I had thought about it I should have remembered that none of us know what that word means. Head over to the CCSI blog, the link is above, over the next five days to see what we will be up to. Oh, my final post will not be on Monday.

Thanks you guys love you bunches and bunches

A Message From Moth

Photo by Zoolatry

It is with a heavy heart and sadness that I am letting you all know that Sassy has been MIA since May. She prefered to spend her time outside though we tried to bring her in with the family. Around the time she left our other two cats, Guy and Punkie, disappeared too. About this time there were several tom cats around so we think that they thought things were too croweded her and moved on. Guy at one time was missing for nine months and came back, so I am hopeful that Sas will show up one day.

On several occasions I have spotted a black cat in the area but cannot get a good look. I am hoping that all of them are safe and found a nice farm where they are enjoying their new digs.  There are so many farms out here where they can find food and shelter.

My head tells me one thing but my heart tells me another. I have decided to listen to my heart, it makes things a little easier. She had many adventures during her almost two years of blogging so I have decided to retire Sassy's blog with  a little send off that will be held tomorrow. Please stop by tomorrow and say your farewells. Please don't be too sad just pray that she is safe somewhere.
