Unless my cats are there to welcome me." - Anonymous
It is with great sorrow that I tell you that my precious, courageous
kitty, Harley, died last night at 8:10 PM. She was diagnosed with
Allergic Hepatitis 2 years ago on August 4, 1998. It has been over 2
years of ups and downs but through it all Harley continued to have a
zest for life,
Anita
Thank you. Harley was a beautiful kitty inside and out so it wasn't
hard to write about her. Everyone who ever crossed Harley's path was
smitten with her. Her brother, Little Boy, and I are slowly coming to
grips with her passing. Thank you so much for caring.
