BELLE
Belle came into our lives shortly before we lost our beloved Poppet to COPD. She is a delightful little puppy. In this photo she was 7 weeks old, weighed 1 pound 12 oz. So far she tries to chase Panther, but hasn't caught her yet. Panther runs, I yell, Belle stops before any damage is done.
PANTHER
We got Panther and her sister, Mouse, from a boy with a box in front of the Safeway grocery. He assured us they were male kittens -- but when Panther became a mother we got Auntie Mouse to the vet before she multiplied. Sadly, we lost Mouse, but Panther, who had been very reticent about being touched, loves being the "only cat" and now begs to be petted and follows us like a puppy, telling us all her troubles. She enjoys being brushed and will even tolerate being picked up and held for a very short time.
In memory of
POPPET
Poppet
was our West Highland White Terrier. She was a happy little girl, with a tremendous sense of humor.
Lady came to us as a stray, hungry and lonely. She adopted us, and was a lovely friend and companion for many years. She was Panther's buddy, and we all miss her so much.
We still miss our old Buster, who went over the Rainbow Bridge several years ago.
