It's that time again.

MLK day always marks a sad anniversary in our household. It was about four years ago that we had to say good-bye to our first pet we had together. Miss Kitty was the Alpha female, to be sure. She ruled our place with an iron paw. She was very strict about bed time. When it was time to go to bed, you knew it; and there was no dismissing her. I miss that. We are not as disciplined about bedtime; and probably have not slept as well because of it. She only had one vice, and that was shrimp. Boy, did she love shrimp. I have yet to meet a kitty since who loved shrimp the way she did. Sometimes when we went to Costco for shrimp, we'd get extra for her. It probably wasn't all that good for her, but we didn't do it all the time. But she was special. Our special little girl. To say we miss her is an understatement. Even after four years have passed, we still think about her. We still mention her when something comes up that reminds us of her. It may not as be as often, but there is no forgetting our "Miss Kitty."
