Little

For the first time in our marriage we are without an animal in the house.  A couple of years ago we lost our dog Molly to cancer.  Then we lost our cat Teddy to old age.  But all along there was Little.   By the time we put her down this morning she was deaf and blind in one eye. She was no longer able to clean herself adequately so the hair on her back was matted. She was 24 years old - based on most conversion charts that made her about 112 in cat years.  But even with all those infirmities (and a few more I did not mention) she was an important part of our life.
