Sweet Pea 2000 (circa) - 2019

We buried Sweet Pea today. People who know the love of a pet, know how tough it is to say goodbye.  I'll just write a few words to mark her passing.   Sweet Pea, who arrived in my greenhouse and gave birth the summer of 2001, now lies under the Ginko tree in the back yard.  She was preceded in death by her mate "Old Whitey" who died long ago, and a son, Bootsie Bell, who died
in 2006.  She is survived by Sambo, her youngest, a daughter.   Sweet Pea and Sambo never got along but managed to co-exist the last 9 years of their lives together, without drawing blood. 

Sweet Pea was known early in her life for her hunting abilities, and also her keen intellect.  A Tuxedo cat,  she had the classic markings except for a spot on her left front toe. 

She will be sadly missed by people who visited with her here. 

Sambo is now the Queen of the House and probably won't shed many tears.
