pets are leaving us...

one of our three cats died earlier this year...she was old...like 14 or so - maybe...i do not seem to have any pictures of this kitty, 'cause she was always hiding...

now another appears to be on her way soon...
we have had woody for about 14 years now and she was 3 when i got her...so she is about 16 or 17 years old...she has lived a long kitty life...she used to be F A T and so robust...now she is skinny and old. it is amazing how she has changed...

these were like from 2-3 years ago...she weighed like 16 lbs here...



these are from like a year ago...she got thinner...


she has been a good kitty...
