Cry Me A River

Good bye to all my friends. Good bye to Mouse, my sweet little baby who slept in my arms every night. Good bye to my sisters ferret, Pigpen, (on the left), who is now with his sister, Sassy. He lived up to his name. Good bye to George, too young to leave us. And what a handsome guy he was. Good bye to Lil Bit, a very sweet kitty indeed. Good bye to Suzie, who was inherited. She is now with her [human] dad, who I know is very happy to have her back. Good bye to Shadow. He would pat his owners face with his paw, or reach up from the floor to pat her shoulder to get all the love and attention he could get. Heaven is full of love, and these friends must all feel at home, waiting for the day when we can all be together again.

To Name an Angel

I fell in love yesterday at my local pet shelter. If I survive the next two days of temperatures in the 100's, with heat index reaching 115, I think will return to adopt this cute little girl. Her name, at present, is Rochelle. She was found on the shelter's doorstep in late June, so not much is known about her. They estimate her age to be ten years old.

She looks alot like a very tiny version of the best cat ever, Aunt Sue, who passed away in Feb. She even has the freckles on her nose like the Sue had.

Thinking about changing her name, since "Rochelle" hasn't been her name for long. My first idea was "Aunt Ruth," to honor both the late great Aunt Sue, and a favorite aunt of mine, that passed away several years ago. However, I am also considering "George" as a name, short for "Georgette." I have known two men in my life named George, both were extraordinary men, very special to me.

The more I think about it, the more I like "George" as a name. It's only one syllable. And Aunt Sue was one of a kind. Do we really need another "Aunt" in our lives? Not to mention I have a sister named Ruth, who might think I named it after her.

I LOVE ORANGE TABBIES, especially when they are female.

[Note: for those of you who don't know--female orange tabbies are a rare breed. in order to get an orange female, both parents need to be orange.]
