A true story of pet's I have had


I don't like to post or read long blogs, but there are exceptions to every thing especially when it comes to memories.

One of our many pets was a Calico cat named Tiny. She got along with many animals and people in our neighborhood. One home had two Siamese cats that Tiny would go over to visit. Mrs G would let her in and Tiny would play with Mrs G's cats for an hour or so then want to come back home(after Mrs G's house was trashed).

One thing that my heart as well as my head remembers is a German Shepard that Tiny befriended. We lived across the back alley from a Dairy Queen, and every evening this German Shepard would come to the back door and bark. Tiny would run to the door, and we would let her out. Then we would watch as the two of them would wander across the back yard, both with their tails held high and waving, towards the DQ store. A short while later Tiny and her friend would be back, she would come in and the would go home. The owner of the DQ told us that the and cat could come every day at the same time and be given(out the back door) part of a burger patty and a small serving of soft serve ice cream each. He would talk to them and then they would be on their way.

Why am I posting this? Because every so often my mind will flash the picture of them heading across the back yard with their tails held high and waving, and the memory makes me feel good.

May your pets bring you the same love and happiness.

What a wonderful story. It's great that a cat and dog were so friendly with each other. You should vote on my blog about your preference for dogs or cats. Though I probably shouldn't say that since I prefer dogs and you obviously like cats. Forget I said it.

Our Furr babies remain in our hearts and minds forever. Tiny sounds like a very interesting kitty. Now if I could

Great story Dinty, and very well told. I would guess that all we animal lovers have similar tales of our pets. My old Labrador 'Laddie' was a real character and though I was working most of the years I had him, my neighbors used to tell me he followed the same routines of visiting them every day, even when I was away at work. Fond memories.
