"Aunt" Trina...good-bye, little precious gentle one...
"aunt" trina...age 19...our cat named after little disabled girl in PENNY SERENADE...covered up to her chin with a quilt. good-bye, little precious gentle one...thank you for finding us. =^..^= 1993-2012
trina has been part of our home nearly one third of our lives when i stop to think about her age. she was diagnosed with a heart murmur when she was a kitten...can you believe that? and almost 20 years ago... very sweet little disabled girl...exceptionally sweet. ...
i do my best...and oh, what the animals can teach us about ourselves. so wonderful to move through life appreciating them.
...i get all wussy once in awhile and intimidated by the haters of us lovers and then i regroup with ...myself, buoyed up by others like myself. ;D
it means more than i can express here that consistently kind-hearted humans provide that nudge that keeps each one of us on what i believe in my very soul is the correct and ultimately loving path.
i shall never back down...it's not always easy to persist and hopefully prevail. but, to be fully alive is to protect the rights of others to live out their lives understanding every person and animal for who they are, as they are.
if toughness is called for, i am there...but i prefer gentleness and always try that first! ;D i know that you comprehend my statement here because you do what i do...and what so very many of us do out of respect for ALL life each day and our numbers are growing. ♥ ♥ ♥
...trina was a petite angel...going to miss her gentleness. glad we found each other nearly 20 years ago...
Postscript...
i cannot help but jump right back on the wondrous horse and help these miracles who need our protection and advocacy.
...glad to help the orphans at any time whatsoever. wishing i could help in educating the public...i get met with such stubborn-ness i wanna cry every other day.
but i don't ... i become more determined than ever. life can be meaningful when we get outside ourselves and look after others! what a tonic!

Aw, Susie... my heart aches for you. This has been a tough year for me. Where once this house was blessed with two cats and three dogs, in the space of 6 months, we were down to 1 cat and 1 dog - the heartache that comes from having a houseful of seniors. I swore I'd never get another one until some little homeless urchin kitten showed up at my new job and was taken in by my boss and co-workers. This little fellow decided I was to be his person. He now splits his time between my home and the office. I forgot the joys of having a youngster in the house again - who has brought a good deal of happiness to my 150 pound Newfoundland, Tessa and my remaining aging cat, Pickles. Both have fallen in love with him. This little fellow reminded me that he could never take the place of my departed fur babies - but that he'd found a place in my heart I never knew I had. He made my heart bigger. That's the gift they give us.

carol! i dearly love that concept of a bigger, more roomy heart! perfect description! how beautiful your message is, and your heart has reached mine at a time when you can never know how valuable that connection is! the time frame you mentioned has been a strange and unnecessarily peculiar one for us, also. trina's death reminds us what is important and that we have always done our best to be a loving and inclusive family. she entered our lives at, again, an unnecessarily gloomy time period which i shall never forget nor forgive. her heart murmur and crippled status took our minds off a very grim time. hardly noticed that 19 years had passed. i truly feel remorse that too many human beings do not SINCERELY AND WITHOUT RESERVATION allow the entire world and all of its wonders into their lives...animals being at the top of the list. our commitment to our pets has made life so meaningful... and taught us worthwhile lessons. nice to converse with a kindred soul, carol!! <3!! so sorry to read of your losses, but delighted that you are owned by Tessa, Pickles and their new little pal! =^..^=
