Bye-bye, Boots...

A few days before President Hinckley's passing another passing took place that will probably only be heard of or remembered by a few people: the members of the Bell family. Boots, the oldest of the Bell cats, passed away after living to the ripe old age of 18 years (that's 88 human years, according to my internet research).

I'll miss having the "Boots welcoming committee" greet us when we go to visit Andrew's mom. He would come over to say hi to us whenever we rolled in, no matter how late, and he was always up for a cuddle or a pat on the head.

So bye, bye Boots. We miss you =).

Oh, losing a family pet (espcially one that's been around for so long) can be very difficult. Boots looks like an absolutely adorable little kitty.

Thanks, Joanne! I took the picture last May, right after he had his annual "haircut".
