Calvin

by Jan S.



The baby is mewling,

face burrowed in my neck.

A moment before

with his woolly black coat

puffed up

the panther came back,

body blending with the dark,

yellow eyes suspended

in midair.

Perimeters secured,

he seeks comfort

Bucko - Sep 27, 2010
Bucko was one of those dogs that from the moment we brought him home until his last day with us gave us so much joy and love. He laughed a lot and was also very stoic. Many strangers asked if he was a therapy dog because of his gentle and loving nature. We also want to mention how much his longtime  [...]
Ezekiel - Sep 22, 2010
My dear boy died last week. There was neither obituary nor funeral. I watched him decline for just over a week. Late Thursday night he slowly and quietly made his way into the guest room and half under the bed took his last breath. I found him early in the morning, cold and stiff.



Some  [...]
Lucy Van Pelt - Sep 22, 2010
I had just lost a similar looking tabby cat and although I still had others at home, and went to the grocery store one afternoon to get some litter box supplies, I was astounded to see a woman standing outside the grocery store with this little tabby cat sitting in the cart, looking very poised. I  [...]
Bob - Sep 21, 2010
Bob was a tiny dog with a huge spirit. She brought joy from the deepest part of her soul and spread it to everyone in her world including her dog and cat family. I am a veterinarian so I often bring sick and injured pets home with me for observation. Bob would snuggle up even with the cats and worry  [...]
Penny - Sep 21, 2010
Penny came to us from MEOW Cat Rescue in the spring of 2005. I saw her, read about her short life expectancy, and took her in.

MEOW didn't even charge me an adoption fee.



Penny was a year old when we met and was given 1-3 years because of her enlarged heart - complete with a hole.

I  [...]
Lily - Sep 21, 2010
Lily was a loyal companion beyond description. My princess. At times my life coach. She was nicknamed "the pancreas" because she was never far from my side:) She trusted me and I trusted her. I will miss her, as I know she will miss me.



She was a rescue dog and I could never understand how  [...]
Murphy Sue - Sep 20, 2010
On June 1, 2010, I lost my beloved tortoiseshell kitty to cancer after more than 15 years of constant and mutual devotion. I first encountered the cat I would name Murphy Sue by "chance" one evening in the spring of 1995 when I was out on the back patio of my apartment and heard a cat's plaintive  [...]
Molly - Sep 20, 2010
Molly's Story:

I wasn’t sure if I believed in love at first sight, until that Saturday, June 30, 2001. That was the day my husband and I first laid eyes on her. We were at a pet store in the mall and I shrieked, yes, I actually shrieked when I laid eyes on her; so, loud that my husband heard me  [...]
