Dear Smokey,

You were thrown away in a trash can and a friend of mommies rescued you. I bribed your daddy to let you come live with us. You are my special "big boy". We have had some really hard times, but I have never seen a kitty bounce back the way you have. You are always happy, nothing anyone can do to you ever makes you made. You are a turkey-a-holic and spoiled rotten. From humble beginnings to the happiest kitty alive.

Love mommy


Dear Tucker,

I found you one winter day in the front garden. You left me on Christmas day only to come back to my home 3 months later on my birthday...my best present ever. Why you left I will never know...but I know that you will never leave again. You have aged gracefully. Health issues have made you grow old before your time. I value each and every day I have with you...even though you are grouchy, sneeze stinky boogers and fall asleep in the middle of the driveway....there will never be another Tucker.

Love mommy
