Spring 1998 —- April 11 2000………………….. Spring 1998 —- June 6 1999
Cat ……………. Ferret
I had been separated from my daughter for 10 years.
She moved home in August of 98. She had left her cat behind so I got her DC.
Early in the year we had got a ferret at 6 weeks old named Stinky.
My daughter relied on those two to help her through rough times adjusting.
I swear their fur wore more tears than could be counted. A man became
friends with us and was staying at our home doing renovations.
At night Stinky would wake me up oh I would get so mad at her.
She was persistent. She patrolled the house all night. At the littlest noise woke me.
June 6th she was no where to be found. June 30 we found out the man staying
with us was a convicted pedophile and was molesting my daughter.
He hated Stinky because when he went to move through the house she woke
me or the children. He got rid of her. I still miss her we all do.
Everyone in our community searched for her they still ask. I owe her alot.
The cat DC has stayed by my daughter’s side through out the new tears and he
was a reminder of the love we shared with our pets and that something’s
never change no matter what happens. My kids when sad or lonely held him.
He always knew when we needed him. He came home today someone had beaten
him so badly his paw and leg badly broken. He is no longer with us.
Even suffering he came home to be with the kids to meet them at lunch as always…
He never left us until he had no choice. If these two special animals had not been there
for us and done what they have done I do not know what would have happened.
Stinky prevented the abuse for 2 months by waking me.
DC soothed hurt that was so unbearable for all of us. He reminded us of what
we had before. The joy of getting him as a kitten and his growing up how he
and Stinky would play. I will truly be in debt to these two animals forever.
I know it is hard to believe two animals a cat and a ferret could do so much and
be missed by so many. I do not know what we will do with out DC.
If I could I would give them the highest honors possible especially Stinky
she truly gave her life to protect us.
Bless their hearts.
We love you two forever.
