A Tribute to Trixie!

I have some sad news I don't think I've shared on here. Harley's big sister, Trixie, is no longer with us. She had become an indoor/outdoor cat and got to the point she preferred outdoor. She would cry constantly if we didn't let her out and she would also scoot out whenever someone opened a door. But she always came back whenever she was ready to eat or to nap or to retire for the night. Back before Christmas, I let her out one last time for the evening, and she never came back. We have coyotes out here and I'm so afraid one may have gotten her. She would have never gone to anyone because she was so skittish. And she always knew to come home. We don't live near a busy road, so that's why I fear she was attacked. Her little Christmas stocking stayed filled until I took down the decorations. I walked all through the neighborhood, as well as the nearby woods numerous times! I still look for her as I drive in and out of my neighborhood each day.

I miss seeing Trixie come to my kitchen window, crying to come in. I miss her sleeping with me whenever my husband is out of town. She always seemed to know when he was gone. She'd be waiting on my bed on those nights. I miss her cry to let me know her bowl was empty. And I miss the way she and Harley had started playing with each other. These are a few of my favorite pics of Trixie. She was a very photogenic cat!

We miss you Trixie and will never forget you!

I've been under the weather a bit and my arm is giving me fits. Hopefully the worst of whatever I had the last couple of days is gone. I have too many orders to get out to be sick!

Hubby will be out of town all next week. But don't fear, I no longer sleep alone! Harley has now taken Trixie's place at the foot of my bed! LOL!

Hope everyone has a Happy Valentine's Day! ~~Annie
