the first thing i rember was the bright light when i first opened my eyes to see my mom and family for the first time. the things going through my mind as i looked at them for the first time? I was playing with my brothers and sister all day and i kept on founding every few days one of the was gone and i asked my mom where are they? she said that your turn will come soon!the next day a man and his wife with 2 twin boys came and looked at us all in a group and it was sitting and looking at them waiting to see who they would want?this starts my life with them.i rember playing with the twins and i remember that there was another dog that was living with them and he took me under his paw and showed me what to do and how to play with the twins.he told me to never bite or growl at them or his family.as time went buythey got a little older and i got bigger and loved to chaser those little grey thing up trees. that was fun and i loved to chew on pine cones and hickory nut that was good.i knew that when they said car ride the it was run to the door and it was fun.i was lieing on the floor takeing a nap a long time ago and i woke to hearing the front door close and i ran to see what the were doing and i stoped in my tracks. to what was in front of me was a black and white cat that the twins dad had brought home.i lived with cat all my life and none and i mean none of them liked me but something was different about this cat?? he would walk in front of me when i was sleeping with no care like i would not hurt he.he would let me sniff him and clean him from the top of his head till the tip of his tail and he loved it!!!when i was done cleaning him he looked liked he went throught the was cycle on the washer??i was starting to get old for my age and the one day it got really sad around the house and everyone had water running from there eyes and it sounded like they were all howling.i went looking for my friend J.D. but he was no where to be foundso i jumped on the couch and saw the family walking to the back yard and it was a long walk.they stayed there for about 45min and came back and they all started holding me and hugging me for that time i did not know that my best friend had died.i did not eat for 4 or 5 day and all i did was sleep and keep looking for him for my true freind was gone. i felt better with time and a few more years past and i was older and the twin did not have that much time to play with me like when i was a puppy.one after noon i heard that noiseand saw thwe water in ther eyes again and i knew something was not right.it wasnt till a few day went by that i did not see an old friend that was a part of there family long before i was . he was and old cat his name was garfield and the twin nick named him fat cat. time went on an one day i was awoke by the front door and i went to it to see what it was??the hair went straight up on my back and it was fighting time!!!he was young and grey with messed up fur that the family found o the road. at first we fought and we did not get along at all. then the one day we were friend and i remember one day that the twin brought over some girls.a little time past and i noitced one day that my master was not at home any more for he has moved out and married.he would come over and see me i a few years. then my mom told me that my masted got a new dog and my heart broke cause i felt like i was not wanted anymore.my mom told my master that i would stay with them a live there with the and my some what good friend.the years past nad i was hurting from the pain in my hips and it was hard to eat cause my teeth were gone from the hickory nut.then with old age you find out tht its easy to love than harder to hat so thats what i did to my old friend.i noticed that my friends front leg started to grow and was hurting him a little the a few years past.turns out that he had cancer in his leg.im getting old and i sleep alot and i saw my master a few weeks ago.then one day my friend was not feeling good so i knew some thing told me that the crying and the tears were in the near future.for as i sat and laid by my friend till the last breath he drew i knew that i lost my friend of a life timeas i have felt this pain all to real.iknew that this would hurt me cause i was older.i was sad and i could not get over it for less that a week went my i died in my moms arm,,,for i died of a broken heart or old age for you will never know???

this story is written by steven g lokey the twin in this story and the cat garfield was my brothers cat.
i felt like felt like the day hooch died that i just had put a but of responsiblityon my mom and dad cause i did not wont to take hooch home with me cause i could not care for him.my mom and dad told me to leave him there with them that they would take good care of him and if he came with me that he would be heart broke.it took loseing a life long friend of 14 1/2 years to makeit clear to me that a pet or a furry famoly member is a life long friend and compainian.for this i have learned that spend all the time you have with you family and your furry family.
please e-mail me to let me know of what you think and please send you respect to heidi and stanly lokey for they did what i was supposed to do for the life of a friend,love and care for them.
