ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE YOU TO OUR FUZZY FELINE FRIENDS!
....Pepper AKA "P,LMNOP" AKA "P" AKA "Peepaw" (gray tabby) Pepper likes to drink milk! He and George DO NOT get along!!
....Tammy AKA "Butterball" AKA "Tamperbear" (tortoiseshell siamese)
....Lilly AKA "Little Black Stick" AKA "Woman" (very small black cat) She's very special. She was on our doorstep on Easter Day 1995. She had a broken pelvis and I had to nurse her back to health. She's so sweet and she's a very talkative cat!
....Tang AKA "Spot Eye" AKA "Tanglee" (dark gray burmese) Tang is my puppy dog. She follows me EVERYWHERE! And she will not play with the other cats. She's a loner. (Guess that's why she follows me everywhere!) Tang hates Lilly's enthusiasm for life!
....George AKA "George Edward MooCow" AKA "Georgeamus Catamus" (black and white "holstein" mogey cat) George loves any kind of meat! And he likes Pepper. Pepper just doesn't like him! George just sends the wrong message I guess!
....Thomas AKA "Thomas the Tank Engine" AKA "Orange Roughy" (orange tabby)
....Missy AKA "Missy Jimmy" AKA "Miss looks-like-a-goat" (brown tabby with wide sides)
I never thought I would say this in my wildest dreams but thank GOD for the Emergency Leave Act! I decided to help my dad take care of her for one month because he really needed the help and I wanted to spend time with her! So off I went to Florida .... away from my husband the whole time.
Funny thing is she stayed alive to endure Christmas of 1993. That and finishing a cross-stitch project for a friend were her two goals. SHE DID THEM BOTH I'm happy to say! The other strange thing is when my husband did come down to visit me, the day he had to leave to come back to South Carolina, at 10:00 a.m. she died while I was feeding her and my husband had just left a couple of hours earlier. I sort of wonder if she waited for him to leave. Oh well...those are memories of the past and I'm just sharing some things I have been through in life. *smile*
I have to admit that the death of my mother caused me to become very depressed! I was "extremely" close to her and just couldn't fathom life without her. It took me some time to figure out that Jesus was the answer to my problem. I was forced to go to church as a child. And for many years I was rather resentful since my parents never went with me, my brother and sister. Now I've come to know the Lord the way I have needed to for so long, and I feel so much better for it! He really has brought joy into my life and a peace I didn't know before.
....Tom (orange tabby) Thomas' namesake. Old Tom was a very quiet cat, never really liked to be petted much.
....Becky AKA "Squeaky" (black cat) She was just a friendly linky black cat.
