So it was only a couple days after Walter passed that I started considering adding a new addition to our family. It's hard getting adjusted to only having one cat to look after. We decided to go check out what the local no kill shelter had and that didn't work out, so we went to PetSmart. The minute I laid eyes on her she reminded me of Walter. She looks a lot like him, but has a very different personality. Her name was Tommy and I didn't understand that. We played with her and petted her and she was sweet and pretty and I really really liked her, then we left. I wanted to really think it over and make sure Burdette and I were on the same page. An hour and a half later we went back and now she's ours. We named her Abigail, but we call her Abby and she's sweet and pretty and I'm falling in love with her. I miss Walter more than words can describe. Nothing will ever take his place, but Abby is a nice distraction and she definitely helps to ease the pain. Frank even likes her a little bit, I think. Eh, they are a work in progress. :)
| She's discovered that bird watching is her favorite pastime. |
| Rolling around while sun bathing! |
| She thought she was going to like the Vet's office until she got her shots! |
| Sitting in the same room, not mad, just relaxing. Makes me happy. |
Abby says she can't wait to meet everyone soon, so start visiting!!
Love,
Shannon & Burdette

Beautiful , no she can never take Walter's place, but she will certainly have a place in your heart. After we lost Ginger we decided not to get another pet. New neighbors next door has four dogs, we will love them and send them home.
I can't wait to meet Abby cat next week. She is very pretty!
