Dear Russell.

Well, bro, it's been a year since you left.

Remember the place where Mom found you? (And how you almost got left behind until you waved your footie through the cage bars at her when she impulsively looked back at you?) She adopted three more boys from the same place. Can you imagine? Four boys now and only one Caroline! They're pretty fun -- I think you would like them.

Mom and I think of you often and we both miss you. A lot of our pals say they still think of you too. You were one special boy and you're still my favorite brother. I guess I just wanted to let you know that.


Me and Russell, way back when.

  6. We miss Pretzel, too, William. We think he is glad you has some brothers again, though he knows for sure he will always be the most specialest brother of all. Love you, William, yes I do, and I am Mancat enough to say so!
    P.S. Poor Screamoline. Does she need a girlfriend cat?

  7. Russell was obviously a very special boy. It's always nice to remember our former family members and the unique joy they brought to our lives.

  11. Oh William, I am feeling for you. First of all, thank you for your very kind words on my blog. It means so much to know that so many are thinking of me. I know just how sad it is to lose a brother (dad's been there, too. Twice, actually). I still remember Isaac, and I know dad still gets sad for him. What a very sweet, sad post in Russell's honor.

  13. William, I'm all teary here! Pretzel Boy was a special cat, and I know you and your momma miss his antics and his love. I named the stray neighborhood cat Russell in his honor!
