It's Friday y'all, and thanks to my location here in Australia I'm one of the first in the world to enjoy the beginnings of that most joyous and legit part of the week known as the weekend! 😁
It's time to announce the #weekend-engagement topic for this week, week nineteen would you believe! Thanks to all of you who have supported the concept since its inception nineteen weeks ago!
Last week's weekend-engagement week 18 topic was a musical theme, click that link back there to see it, complete with 677 comments which was a great result! I'm not sure how we'll go this week as it seems due to some Hard Fork recent happenings there's a few technical issues on the blockchain - But it will be nice to see you here if you can, and I hope you join in.
And now to the topic.
This weeks topic is a choice of three
- Show us your current, or past, pet and tell us about it.
or
- Tell us what animal (real or fictional) you would like as a pet and why.
or
- Tell us whose pet you'd like to be! 🤣
You can choose one, two or all of the above to respond to and you'll need to leave your response below in the comments. You don't have to do all three, it's completely up to you.
Here's my answer to the first option.
Meet Dixie
This is a picture of Dixie, a much-loved cat that I gave to my wife Faith as a gift many years ago. I presented Dixie with a little bow tied around her neck when she was only just six weeks old and she fitted in the palm of my hand. From that day Dixie and Faith became the best of friends. She was a lovely little cat and we loved her very much pouring so much love and emotion her way; She had such a nice nature and loved us right back.
We used to bath her from a really young age and, whilst she didn't love it she tolerated it. This image is her after one such bath. Faith would dry her with a towel and then brush her until she was silky smooth, sometimes using the hair dryer on a low setting to help dry her off; She'd come out all fluffy and puffy and then find her way to her favourite spot and sleep off the trauma of being completely pampered.
We lost Dixie in tragic circumstances, someone kicked her hard in the side shattering all her ribs on her left side, and whilst we did everything we could to save her, to the tune of just over $2,500 in vet bills, she died in Faith's arms and we were heart broken. It took Faith a long time to get over her loss; Fortunately we had Merlin who helped with that process. We lost Merlin only three months ago now, at the age of twenty two years and the pain of losing my best mate still lingers.
We think of her fondly now though, and Merlin too, love them just as much as we used to and remember them well. We have a beautiful picture of Dixie and Faith above the fireplace which I was going to share, but I decided to keep that one private...This one works though.
Get engaged

Engagement is the best way to build your account here and to increase your profile so stick around and engage with people on this post, you never know where it may lead.
I hope the recent Hard Fork hasn't caused you too many issues, I know a couple functions are not working so well, but I hope y'all come along and join in with the topic this week.
