I have to interrupt this journal with some sad news...our sweet cat Amber died today. She was almost 18 years old.
On July 5, 1995, I was coming home late from a square dance, driving through the woods to our house in La Honda. I spotted something moving by the side of the road, which wasn't unusual, but something seemed different this time, so I stopped the car, turned around, and went back. There was a little orange kitten abandoned by the side of the road. I opened the car door and it jumped up into my lap. I brought it home, and after a few days of discussion, we named her Amber after her beautiful golden eyes.
Amber died peacefully in Ron's arms. We will miss her terribly.
Jessi & I are sad to hear of your sweet little Amber. Our Amber (also named because of her eyes)had to have 6 teeth pulled last week.
ReplyDeleteThank you Michael for your kind words. Our Amber also lost most of her teeth in the last few years of her life.
