| It has been difficult dealing with the loss of my beloved cat, Boo. I'd like to share my favorite memory of Boo, the day he showed up on my doorstep on Halloween night 1997. The door bell rang, I opened the door and the cutest little ballerina, her mom and this young cat greeted me. I said "how cute you brought your cat?" The mom replied that it wasn't their cat, it had been crying at the front door, she thought it was my cat. Being Halloween night I took the young cat in so he wouldn't get hurt. I searched for weeks for his owner, but no one claimed the young cat, Boo showed on my birthday, Halloween night. He was the best birthday present I have ever received. I miss him dearly. Boo - Oct 31, 1997-March 16. 2009 Linda Hinch, Maryland Heights, MO |

| Tess came into my life at 5 weeks as a little black ball of fur. We “adopted” each other since the beginning. She chose my shoulder to sleep on and this shoulder was her “pillow” until the end. She was a special little girl, a schnoudle with a great personality and tons of love for me. Tess lived only for me, for my love and for giving me love. I brought her from Europe, a long trip, and when I put her in the kennel it was like she knew at the end of the trip she’ll find me again. We lived a happy life here for 7 years, she was travelling with me back to Europe on vacations; Tess was my shadow, my soul. Tess was like an “accessory” to my body, always asking me to take her in my arms, always with her little paws around my neck, always next to me. When she got sick, I refused to believe she would not make it, but the pneumonia was stronger than she was! I ran to the hospital, she was kept for observations, but….the fatal call came with the bad news on June 26th, 2008 at 8:30 a.m. My little Tess passed away at the hospital, without me there; it was her first time sleeping far away from me in 14 years! These words are a tribute to my little baby Tess at one year, she has left me with an empty life. I am sure she is watching me from Heaven! Tess, mommy loves you and she’ll never forget your pretty face! Tess September 05, 1994-June 26, 2008 Marina Trofin, St Peters, MO |
