Fourteen Gotchas

Boo

Jinx 

Ping

The original Three Amigos.

***

14 summers ago, it hardly seems possible these 3 appeared at my doorstep.

I easily remember one night hearing a cat cry outside the window.

Nothing so unusual about that, but little did I know at the time,

it was Jinx and I'm betting he was hungry.

(HE IS ALWAYS HUNGRY)

Sometime during August of 2004, I remember walking up towards

the front entry to the house and seeing two cats asleep on the chairs that sat

in the entryway. Immediately, Boo jumped off and ran into the bushes,

while Jinx sat there. Of course, they weren't Boo & Jinx then.

I went in and got a can of tuna, because I had no other food to give them.

Boo came back and out popped Ping from the bushes.

He was the one a lot harder to get close too. 

Both, Boo & Jinx were tame.

Off and on throughout the next several months I took them from being

outdoor to indoor,  which was the best decision I ever made.

We've been through a lot together.

They have been through it all.

I hope that time grants us many more years to come.

But it's been a great 14 years so far, I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Happy Gotchas to Boo, Jinx, & Ping.
