Tigger
Below was the original website I created for my special friends...unfortunately lil tigger got out of our new home fence on July 25th, 2005. He was 5 1/2... He wasn't familiar with the area & found his way to a main street where he was hit by a car... I still have a hard time believing he's not here or that i'll never see him again...He has such a great personality...i can't imagine finding anyone like him. I wrote a poem to help me thru this grief... I hope you like it.
Busy at my desk I laid back in my chair,
I glanced at the corner where you used to lay your head
no more sound of your snoring, the little breath of relief
knowing your safe inside near the door & out of the heat.
Ready to pounce if you heard any peep.
Little chocolate M&M eyes used to look up at me,
knowing our love flowed so unconditionally
nothing expected, just each day going by
Now I wonder if I took you for granted,
knowing at the end of the day there you'd lye
Now it's so quiet, no longer a sound
no barking, no snoring as we laid you in the ground.
lifeless little body, praying it happened swift
wondering if the driver even noticed
or just sped by not caring any less...
There's so many things I wish I had done,
So many memories I cherished, now all gone
like when you gave me kisses on my cheek
Trying to learn a new trick for a small treat.
Jumping up and down, playing with your little red bear
Simple little joys you'd love to share.
We named you so perfect, my little Tigger
Even thou you thought inside you were a German shepard ...
My little pomeranian -chiwawa with such a big heart
you loved all who saw you & vice versa from the start...
Bouncing along is what you preferred.
I know you loved us with all your heart,
as sweet as you were
i'll always wish I had one more bark, a little kiss,
or glance from your button eyes
Wondering if time will lessen this pain inside...
Will I ever really be able to come to terms
and ever say goodbye...
ORIGINAL WEBSITE BELOW.
The Picture above you'll see my special little guy...he's a toy mix of chiwawa & pomeranian.
He was a holy terror for the first 4 months... I nearly went crazy when he'd take my laundry out to the back yard.
Tigger thinks he is a big German Shepard.... I swear he thinks he's invinceable.
One time when he was still being trained, someone broke open our gate & stole him. I was devastated... all I could do to cope was to pray that who ever took him would take good care of him.
A few days later, I was outside cutting some roses & he came running to me. How I do not know...but a miracle brought him back to me. I had written a poem for him...and cried when he came back.
“Tigger”
My little friend
Where have you been?
You left your home
and your adventure began
Did someone think you were so cute as could be
but alas they did not know, they did not see
the unique little guy you are to me.
They did not appreciate your true value
sure you have little things that aggravate
But I’d never want to lose you in any way.
You needed to go out on your own
to see where else you could call a home
I was left in worry not knowing where you’d gone
oh how I wish I could tell you my relief,
when you found your way back home to me.
I hope you’ll know in some small way
how much I really love you
and your coming home made my Day.

Sebastian
In September 1997 visiting a friends home whose feline had a litter. Their were two siamese from a purebred daddy... I was going to choose one, but looking in their tiny eyes... I didn't have the heart to seperate them. Like new parents we did the diplomatic thing, we went thru a "name book" & choose Theodore & Sebastian. Theodore means "Gift of God" & nicknamed Teddybear as he had his mothers persian in him. Sebastian means "majestic, Revered, Beautiful". Amazing how these fit them both so well.
Sebastian is very particular & spoiled to say the least. Sebastian knows he's king of the house :)
He has fortunately accepted the two female Black Calico additions we eventually got.
Friends together
Sebastian loved playing with tigger. When tigger was a baby, sebastian thought he was a mouse I think, we'd have to watch over him carefully. Tigger would use Sebastian as a teething toy... but when he got to routy...Sebastian would tease him by sitting above him on a tv tray just dangling his tail just low enough to tease but not able to get. :)
we cared for a colony of abandoned tame cats,hoping to find homes. The aspca opened an adoption center & picked them up. I hope to work on a site soon to show my special calico's : Mysti & Stormy -2 years after losing my rusti. Its now 2011 & they are about 8 yrs old going on 9. We've since saved a beautiful pregnant white cat who gave birth to 5 gorgious babys. We found the mommy & one sick baby a home with a vetinarian nurse when we brought them in. Thankfully the other 4 babys had just weaned.
