Well, today is a sad little memory. To some of you, this memory is pointless, but to my family it means a lot.
Chris and I were living in Cedar City, and I was missing home...well, my sister suggested I get a kitty. My brother had some kittens under his house, and he wanted to get rid of them! Well, I took a trip to Fillmore to meet my family for my new kitty; she was so cute....black, with a little stripe of white on her little nose. I fell in love instantly! The whole trip back to Cedar she sat on my lap and looked out the window. She was so timid and shy. Chris and I decided to name her "Fillmore." I know...original. As some of you know, Chris and I could not have children for the first 8 years of our marriage and kitty was like a family member. We loved so much. We got our new kitty back in 1997....she is now 11 years old.
"Kitty" as she is now known, has a really long name...we just kept adding. Rocky Fillmore Whiskers Kitty Brook (Riley added the last name since she has known her.) Kitty has moved from city to city with us, and she has never wandered. She has been the best kitty; never scratching Riley and letting her haul her around like a baby. She was the best kitty ever....I will miss her. I love my "kitten with mittens." It makes me sad to know that she had to die all alone, after all she has done for us. I wish I could have been there to comfort her as she struggled....she was always there for me when I was sad; she was always was so loving and kind. I remember one time Chris and I were having an argument and she actually got in Chris' face and hissed...she was protecting me in her own little way.
Riley is having a little hard time dealing with "Brook" being gone, but she knows she is in heaven with "Babe" my dad's dog. I guess for some of you that have had pets that were like family members you will understand. A week before kitty passed I felt I should take some pictures of her with Riley....good thing. Thanks for humoring me....
