On the 4th of July this Summer, I'd just made a long car trip up here from Missouri with my new owners and became very ill. Even though it was a holiday you were open and ready to help.
My new owners put their trust in everyone to do your best, no matter what my chances were. You set me up in my own private room, except for an occasional cat roomate, which wasn't too bad. You visited me anytime my owners were not around. You fed, hugged and played with me, which helped give me a reason to fight my illness. You told me how cute I was and kept me happy. Best of all you saved my life!
