I completely relate with Kevin and his comment about his cat being a dog dressed in a cat suit. My Scruples was the same way. He would fetch, carry socks around and beg just like a dog. Could he have had a dog hanging off his family tree somewhere in the past:)

I love promoting authors like Kevin who work to help other animals in need. He is sharing part of his proceeds with his local animal shelter. Pretty cool!

If you can afford it and you have a child in your life, purchase the book about Hobo and bring a smile to the child and at the same time help a four legged friend!

My friend Kristy adopted her kitty from Second Hand Purrs in Wisconsin and she thought very highly of this shelter. I can understand why after interfacing with Susan, the owner, for my article. She, no doubt, has a very big heart! I will be donating something in my cat, Scruple's name as I'm sure it would make him happy for me to do so in his memory. If you are an animal lover and can help out please do. If you're not able to but you can pray for her shelter to continue to be able to do such good work, please send your prayers! These little babies are so precious and deserving.

Do you know a good shelter that you would like to share with me? If so, drop me a note so we can let others know!

It was hard for me to create an inspirational article today considering I watched my baby, Scruples, take his last breath yesterday morning. This little four-legged blessing was a pillar in my world for twenty years. He supported me through so much hardship. He helped me endure a divorce, betrayal, lost loved ones, job loss, health issues and I could go on and on! All he expected was unconditional love and tasty food in return. I am so grateful for my years with him and the void in my heart feels like it will last an eternity.

He was my little angel dressed in character of a cat and I miss him horribly. I'm not sure where I'm at in the stages of grief or how long it will take me to feel well again but I'm sure that I'm in the trenches of sorrow and it really hurts!

I'm hopeful my logical mind will over power my heart and allow me to find happiness in his memory in my near future but only time will tell. Are you suffering a loss? If so, what has helped you to move forward? Are you stuck, share your story with me.
