My Sweet Baby Boy-Spikey

Spike, 04/89-01/10/08

To our Baby Spiker, you were a true joy to share our lives with. You came to us as a sweet little peanut, ever so full of joy and playfulness and falling asleep in the crook of your mommy's elbow. You were the smartest kitty we have ever known-stealing Pounce treats from the cupboard and chewing open the lid, and eating all the treats. Then you hid the treat can underneath the christmas tree skirt to hide the evidence. We knew it was you because the lid had your teeth marks-LOL! You were so funny. You loved opening the potholder drawer. Then you would place them or pillows from the couch over your food dish. There were times when you would find a rubberband or twisty tie, and those too would be found in your dish. You had quite a collection. You loved your wire toy and your orange pom pom toy. But most of all, you loved your Momma Stormy and your brothers Oscar (Ozzie), Munchkin (Bug) and Chappy. We will miss our pretty gray boy with the big green eyes who would steal socks from the dryer and drag them upstairs. And Mom will miss her little Spikerman kissing her eyelashes and rubbing your nose and forehead in the palm of her hand. You were such a sweet little grandpa-kitty and you always knew when one of us was not feeling up to par or feeling sad. You were a comfort to all of us. You got sick so suddenly and we tried to give you every chance we could. But the good Lord wanted his little gray kitty to be at peace, as your little body was so tired and worn out. On January 10, our wonderful vet Dr. Ramm helped us relieve your suffering and you left us gently while your daddy and mommy kissed you and sent you on your journey to a better place. Stormy and Ozzy, and even your sister Fuzzbutt, were waiting for you at the Rainbow Bridge. They were so happy to have you with them even though we were so sad to see you go. Our hearts are hurting, but we are glad that we had so many years with our baby Spikey. Munchkin Bug and Chappy miss you their brother and Munckin has been looking for you. He seems so lost without his buddy to sleep in the sunshine with. Please keep a watch over them both and be their guardian angel kitten as Stormy and Oscar once watched over you. We love you, sweet baby, and someday your daddy and I will come to get all of our fuzzy children who are waiting for us at the Rainbow Bridge. And then, we will be together for always because love is eternal, and our love for you will always be. We miss you, sweetie, and we love all of you so very much. You are all only a special memory and a kiss away. Rest now in Jesus' arms, baby kitten. Hugs and kisses~your Papa Cat and Mama Cat (Kent & Mary) XOXOXOX
