Have Hope

---

This old gal…

Has bad luck when she leaves for Texas…those cats…falling for them in the summer…assuming things will be the same when she returns…but that doesn’t seem to happen…

Last year…Old Man Wrigley…best friend…cuddle buddy…slipped away…age creeping up on him…devastated by the loss…but knew we still had Hot Rod Roddy Piper…

Stray cat extraordinaire…Wrigley’s bff…always dropping by for a snack…some petting…a little afternoon nap…

But when old folks are away…cats who are wonderful and lovable…find a happy home…change their name from Roddy to Ted…and if they see you…pretend they don’t know you…

And so it is…as the miles close in…cat lover me is thinking about Pumpkin…how hard it was to leave him…how very much she missed him…and how devastated she will be…

If she can’t find him…

And this husband of mine…agrees…
