My precious Peanut Kandy there are no words to describe you, and no words to describe how I feel! I knew you from the day you were born. Your Mom was a European Tortie Burmese named Holly. Your Dad was a Sable. Ruebin was also the father of my Gypsy Magic and Kaylani. "I have one VERY tiny one," Virginia said, "She may not make it. I'm going to try tube feeding her." You made it. Day by day, week by week, I heard about you; growing, eating on your own, jumping on shoulders! She couldn't sell you. It would be like selling a piece of her soul. She had promised you to someone else. Then suddenly everything changed. THAT someone got married and gave away her 2 Burmese in favor of keeping her husbands 2 cats. No way! "Do YOU want the Peanut Baby?" she asked. "ME? really? I'd LOVE to have her!" And so, the Peanut Baby became mine. (to be continued.)Learning to eat on your own was a challange because you had a cream brother whose every joy in life was to eat. When you dug your way in to the food he shoved you out. "Mine, mine!" he screamed! "He's One Tough Cookie," Virginia said; and it stuck. One Tough Cookie became the First Cream Grand Champion Burmese, in CFF. I remember when I was told you were ready to go. You were strong, fiesty, had all your shots, and been spayed. You were 7 mos. old and weighed 4 lbs. That made it January. Which means you came and left about the same time of year!
You jumped right out of your baby blanket and onto my shoulder. "What are you going to name her?" Nothing seems ot fit except Peanuts but we need something more for her registration. Khandi is a place in Burma. You look like Peanut Butter swirling thru Chocolate. So Khandi became Kandi or Kandy. My Peanut Kandy of Nashoba,
Oh, Peanut, I miss you more every day. I can't write you flowery phrases. You weren't that kind of kitty. You were a fun kitty. You watched TV, cat videos.fast action shows. more recently you enjoyed chasing the cursor on the monitor screen and trying to catch it. You loved heat and if it wasn't pouring out of the heat vent YOU let us know, meowing all over the house. If the water bowl was empty, you let us know that too. I miss you Peanut girl. I miss you sleeping on my head, and I even miss you sneezing in my face. I love you my Peanut Girl!

Hey Peanie! I sure miss you, sweetie! There will never be another you! I can think of you and smile now. It wasn't easy to lose both you and Jenny so close together. It has not been an easy year. Little Aaliyah has brought much joy into our lives. I am sure you & Jenny led me to her. She has a little bit of each of you in her personality. I don't know how anyone could have given her up after 7 yrs. But they did. And now she is here with us. bless you always Peanut Kandy.

Prescious Peanut One year ago today, my heart broke. We said goodbye the night before, and I let you sleep. When I awoke, your little soul had fled. Peacefully, in the night. I had the day off. I bundled you up and we took you to your friends at the Hospital. Everyone was so sad. I began having dreams about you. And one night I had a strange little dream where I entered a rest room and a little gray tiger cat popped up out of the waste basket wearing a Santa hat! WHAT? were you sending me a kitten? All I knew was it made me laugh. A few weeks later I was cleaning out a dresser drawer & way in the back, I pulled out an old nightshirt. Wow! I smiled again! It had an image of a comical tiger kitten, wearing a Santa hat. It always made me laugh! Then I understood the dream, Peanie. You wanted me to smile again!
A week or so later the dogs, Paco & Angie, began barking like mad & running around the living room looking up to the ceiling. Very strange. Then they ran to the top of the stairs wagging their tails. "Whatever it is it is friendly," I said. A few minutes later, maybe 10 mins. the doorbell rang. It was UPS. Your ashes were returned. Peanut Kandy was home. I knew then the dogs had seen you. Your spirit had returned BEFORE your ashes! Let everyone who reads this know there is life after death. Please let me feel your prescence today Peanut. I need a miracle today. Amen.
My special, special little girl.......

It took awhile Peanut but we did get our miracle! Thanks Sweetie! This weekend we pay tribute to little Jenny on her one year marker tomorrow 2/7. But I am thinking of all of you who are together now at the Bridge. My Shelties, my Burms, my Birdies. Gather together and have a wonderful reunion as Auntie & I remember you with smiles and love.
