Our Little Black Angel
by Deb Grenier
My precious little Curby......you have no idea how much we miss you....you were the most unique little cat that ever was!! We always called you our little black angel because you were just that!! No matter what you were always there....you couldn't stand to be in the house without one of us and when we were home you couldn't decide who to be with. But you were always there with one of us.....next to us or in one of your favorite spots. Our hearts are crying for you.....we miss your "kisses" we miss your "hugs"! And you truly gave us hugs ..wrapping your little paws around our necks or riding on our shoulders!! Everywhere we look we see where you should be....sitting on the counter watching us eat......checking out Nik's dresser for hair ties to put in your bowl.....sitting and staring at the refrigerator hoping one of us will get the ruler out and get those silly hair things from under there so you could find your favorite and take off with it and hide it somewhere else!! I miss waking up to you in the morning sleeping at the end of the bed and as soon as you knew I was awake you would come up and snuggle on my pillow with a paw touching my face.....telling me how much you love me!! We miss your talking to us.....you had so many phrases....from "I'm here...to the panicked.....where is anyone!! It even sounded like you barked at us!! If one of us was down....that's where you were....giving hugs, kisses and "talking"!! Oh Curby we miss you soooo much......we tried to keep you in the house but you just had to escape out that window....where too?? You never went for very long....but in that short time you were gone you were taken from us. We still have Bandit.....and they say that the animal remaining takes on some of the same habits as the one that has gone. She now sleeps on my bed where you used to sleep...she comes into the computer room and sleeps on my lap where you used to sleep...where she never ventured before. She didn't eat for a few days because you always made it known to her that you ate first!! You thought you were tough but you were such a love!! We knew it...and we miss it sooo much. The pain of missing you is incredible...the little black angel found on the side of the road.......malnourished and sick....who should have been petrified of people and who ended up loving us more than we thought could be possible. You are in our hearts and in our souls...not a day goes by that we don't think or cry about you.....Monday the 3 of us cuddled on the bed with you and said we could never live without you and please don't ever leave us...Tuesday you were gone.....how could that have happened?? You are now at the rainbow bridge with Whitney and Tasha....and my dad is with you also....how can it be that all 3 of you have gone in less than a years time??? At least we know you are loved........but we so need your love here!! Curby.....our little black angel....you really are an angel now.....and we know you ar
