MASCOTS

"What a grand thing, to be loved!
What a grander thing still, to love!" - Victor Hugo

Meet Precious and Jera, Astrud's mascots...

My beautiful Jera crossed the 'rainbow bridge' on September 15, 2008.  My sorrow for losing her is immense. I would like the 'whole world' to know how sweet, special and beautiful my little Jera was" - Astrud Gilberto

********************************

Jera... Kittums... Blackie... sorely missed mascots...

"If I could have a lifetime wish, a dream that would come true,

I'd pray to God with all my heart, for yesterday and you

A thousand words can't  bring you back, I know because I've tried

And neither will a million tears, I know because I've cried

You left behind my broken heart, and happy memories too

But I never wanted memories... I only wanted You. "  - Debbie Shoop

"THIS OLD CAT"

(Author Unknown)

I'm going on in years, my coat is turning gray

My eyes have lost their luster, my hearing's just okay 

I spend my day dreaming of conquests in my past,

Lying near a sunny window, waiting for its warm repast 

I remember our first visit, I was coming to you free,

Hoping you would take me in, and keep me company

I wasn't young or handsome, two years I'd roamed the street…

There were scars upon my face, I hobbled on my feet 

I could sense your disappointment, as I left my prison cage

Oh, I hoped you would accept me, and look beyond my age...

You took me out of pity, I accepted without shame

Then you grew to love me, and I admit the same 

I have shared with you your laughter, you have wet my fur with tears,

We've come to know each other throughout these many years

Just one more hug this morning, before you drive away

And know I'll think about you throughout your busy day

The time we've left together is a treasured time at that

My heart is yours forever 

I Promise - This old Cat
