Our Gus Tree


Our cat, Gus, disappeared almost four years ago, around Valentine's Day.  We never found out what happened...maybe a car or coyote.  We planted a Cherry Tree in his honor and it always brings back sweet memories of Gus because it blooms this time of year.  The tree is scrawny but produces some beautiful flowers.  I think if we ever move, we might have to dig it up the tree  and take it with us.







Here's a picture of Gus eating cereal with the kids.  He loved Froot-Loops, yogurt and bagels. Of course, that was back when I didn't know any better and allowed my kids to eat Froot-Loops.  Now, he would have to eat Puffins or Go-Lean.

Nothing wrong with fruit loops! They say "fruit" don't they?? Our cat Emmett ran/was taken/eaten/run over
also. Cats can't really be cats around here can they. Myron is talking about the dance as well. I may just go and watch. As IF i'd go and dance...pshaw. Wink wink.
Maybe we'll see each other there.
