November, 1992 Whitey December 22, 2001
Words can not describe how much we
Love and Miss our sweet little man. Whitey was a very independent
feline, definitely with his own agenda. He would sit on the
countertop and let out a "sassy" meow whenever he wanted
something. After all, HE was the Boss! Whitey was also our fearless
protector. If our dog so much as even thought about stepping out of
line, Whitey was right there to show her who was boss. Besides being
our independent, fearless leader, Whitey had a very unique soft side
as well. With just a look, he could melt even the hardest heart into
putty. He would spend hours on your lap or snuggling under the
covers. His three favorite pastimes were: Sunbathing in the
window... Lapping fresh water straight from the faucet... and
stretching out in front of the stove, waiting patiently for the
turkey to finish cooking, of course. He always knew when it was time
for his shot and took it without complaint. Whatever the adversary,
Whitey was always up for the challenge. Whitey's 14 lb. figure had
earned him the proud title of "White Stuffin'". He was our
little trouper. Now... being feline, brought certain
responsibilities. SO... When Whitey could no longer find mice, he
was so proud to bring us a pair of socks instead ( OR whatever else
he could find). He definitely had a knack for finding lost items.
Even though Whitey was feline, he would follow each one of us around
like a puppy dog (especially if he thought a "good" lap or
food was involved).
Whitey... When your diabetes became
uncontrollable, you would still attempt to take care of us. In the
end your 14 lb. figure had whittled down to 8 and you could not step
up to the plate. Your mind was willing, but your physical body
wasn't able. Whitey, you have earned your right to rest. We know
that all good things must come to an end and we hate to say
"Good-Bye". BUT... Someday we know that we will see you at
those Pearly Gates, frolicking about free of pain and suffering and
anxious for our arrival. There are countless reasons for our Love
for you Whitey... and we could go on forever. Our biggest reason
though... "is just for being you"!
White
Stuffin', our sweet little man... Rest in Peace, little trouper, We
will see you soon!
