When I posted the pet pictures I neglected to include Holly, my little 12 year old Tonkinese girl, who died in June 2010. She and Bear were half-siblings, sharing the same father, but that's the only thing they had in common besides living with me. Bear is a big boy - serious, easily embarassed, frightened of new things and very loving in his shy way. Holly was tiny - outgoing, comical, stubborn and insistent that the house run by Holly rules. They loved each other very much and were inseparable in a very special way. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2009 and after two lumpectomies I decided to try to save her by a radical mastectomy. She had her surgery on June 22, 2010 and while the surgery was successful, she died that night of a fatal allergic reaction to pain medication. It was a dreadful time and we miss her still. Her memory is with me every single day.
