Skye's House MatesThese are my two cat siblings T.S. and A.K..T.S.(aka Teazer) is 14 years old having been born February 12 1991. He's Mom's eldest. She bought him from a pet store one Saturday when she went to work. Poor Teazer spent several hours in an art gallery that day being adored by many. Mom said that when he was a wee kitten he would fit into the pocket of her bathrobe. Yeah, like that's going to happen now. A.K. is a different story entirely. As her name suggest (Abandoned Kitty), she had been dumped outside while barely grown. Mom saw her out there and tried to feed the half grown kitten but A.K. ran away. She'd been scared of the noise some ground keepers were making. Eventually, Mom did find her and brougt her in. Another member of the family whom we lost recently is George. George came to us from the Humane Society, Memorial Weekend, May 1998. George was believed to be an English Cocker. His calm stoic manner made him of favorite of children and adults alike. On March 27, 2004, George made one final journey across the Rainbow Bridge. He will be greatly missed by all of his family and friends. On December 21, 2004 I said goodbye to Teazer Elliot & A.K.. It was discovered that very day that A.K. had two lumps inside her. She had been fading for sometime but as they say "Hope Springs Eternal". It was my decision to say goodbye to T.S. at the same time as he too was unwell. T.S. had gone into insulin shock the month before and never fully recovered. The vet. believed it to be pancreatitis(sp). It was the hardest decision I have had to make. I said goodbye at 6pm on a tuesday night four days before Christmas. They are now across the rainbow bridge with George. To this day Skye still looks for her "living" squeak toy.
