This morning our kitty Domino (1989-2007) passed away.  Named in memory of Fats Domino.  She was a beautiful Calico.  

It was very sad.  It was very hard to say goodbye this morning.  But I had comfort in the fact that she lived a very long life, was well loved and died peacefully falling asleep at home.   Domino was Lisa and I’s first animal together.   Later in life she loved to sleep with both Cameron and Evan.  She didn’t like many other animals but tolerated Minnie and was warming up to the new boys, Luther and Gumbo.

She came to us around 18 years ago as the offspring of Maddie, a cat from my days in college here in Gainesville.  I can’t remember where I got Maddie?  Maybe an offspring of some crazy cat that lived with us in  the trailer in college. 

Anyway, We buried her this morning next to her longtime companion and friend Billy. 

We will miss you Domino.
