LICORICE
I said I would write more about our "hilarious" kitten, Licorice.
This is her story:
She was the only surviving kitty of three born to Spitz and, once she started getting all of mom's attention, she became a little butterball. Her front legs seemed shorter than normal, so she was like a little "low rider" coming to meet us every morning and evening. She never meowed but squeeked and grunted, telling us a new story everytime we picked her up. Hers is a short story. She died this week of unknown causes. Perhaps there was a physical problem that kept her from meowing - a problem that grew, causing her to stop breathing?
Her daily stories made us laugh, but her last story made us cry.
We miss you, Licorice!

    How is Spitz holding up under all this grief?

  2. It seems Spitz has been too busy running away from Les Collins's tom cat, Teddy Bear, to notice :-(
