Good-bye to Rebel

I'm sharing this since our meeting tonight was on loving and losing a pet (Marley and Me). Tonight my dad's cat Rebel of 13 years passed away. He laid between my dad and step-mom while they petted him until he fell asleep. We are all very upset, needless to say. Rebel was a very good cat. My husband actually hated cats until he met Rebel, who he decided was pretty cool. Rebel was a gray tabby with a red belly like my cats Maggie and Nelly, so I hugged them extra tight tonight. Maggie was a little annoyed, but when she saw my tears she decided to humor me. My dad and I were discussing how silly we felt because we know it is just a cat, but I thought you all might understand! Those little guys work their way into your heart. I told him I thought it was really strange that I had just gotten home from a book club meeting discussing losing a pet the night this happened, don't you think? Hope you guys don't mind me sharing. Hug your pets today.

Reminder...Book Club Meets Tomorrow!

Just a reminder that book club meets tomorrow December 9 to discuss Marley and Me. We will meet at Shades of Brown in Middlesboro at 7:00 p.m. The large conference room is reserved under DCOM SAA Book Club. They close at 9:00 p.m., so please be prompt so we have enough time to do our book discussion and gift exchange! The gift exchange will be a Greedy Santa. Participation is optional. Just bring a used book that you already own and are willing to let someone else have and love! Just bring the book wrapped, and the emphasis is on USED! Don't spend money, goodness knows none of us have any! See you then!
