Happy Gotcha Day



My Sweet Gracie


Today 17 years ago we found you at the 
Clay County Humane Society.
You were outside the front door.
I questioned the receptionist about why they did 
not bring you in as it was so evident you wanted
to come inside.
They told me that in all likelihood, if you did it 
would mean a death sentence for one gray tabby.
Such is life...and death.
She kiddingly asked if I wanted you.
I demurred because at that moment we were
looking for our missing cat.
Once I found out Button wasn't there,
and my emotions were at their height,
I took one more glance at you.
You were but a young cat, barely passed
being a kitten. You engaged each person as
they came by the front door.
As we were leaving I said
"I'll take her".
So they ran and got a spare carrier,
we scooped you up and off we went.
Once I had you in the long car ride back 
home, I thought what have I done?
I had just adopted Abby the month before,
now another cat to introduce to the 3 amigos.
But you Gracie, you blended in from the first
moment. (Abby was another story!)
I am so glad in my emotional state, I took
you home. You deserved many more years
than you got but I know you had a good happy
safe loving home.
Love you Gracie Grace.
Missing you!
