Rocket
- June 18, 2010
Our
beloved Rocket crossed over the Rainbow Bridge today.
Rocket was a very independent guy. He lived alone for twelve
years, by choice, in the large training room at NEADS where
they train dogs to help people who are deaf and physically
disabled live more independently. Every day he would come
strolling out to greet us. After breakfast he liked a daily
brushing, a few pats, and then he was off for a snooze.
Rocket was a working cat. He
earned his keep by teaching the dogs at NEADS to be good to
cats. In turn, Rocket learned some tricks from the dogs.
Rocket was proficient at opening cupboard doors. On some
days we would look everywhere for him. Then he would come
sauntering out from one of the kitchen cabinets where he had
been taking a snooze.
Rocket was diagnosed with lymphoma two months ago. We
pampered him. We gave him lots of Fancy Feast.
Today was a sad day.
Good bye Rocket. We will cherish the memories.
