First Place

"And God said, I will send them without wings so no one suspects they are angels." _God Away in a pet shop, no place for a cat; in a cage looking sad, just laying all flat ! A calico orphan, I could not leave her; so, I bought the sweet girl, with the pretty fur ! She was a good kitten, so playful and fun; she passed at two years old, my heart she had won ! I think of her often, way up in Heaven; hope she is in God's arms, for this past seven ! The years go on and on, I will not forget; my calico angel, for God sent this pet !

Losing a pet is a horrid, heart wrenching thing, Constance. Nice that you’ve immortalised yours right here on Soup. Congrats on your win. Terry
