Welcome To The 106th Masterpiece Monday!






In Loving Memory of CooCoo
I'm very saddened to say that our beloved older kitty CooCoo passed away last Friday afternoon.  She was 22 years old and a cancer survivor.   We adopted her from the Humane Society 20 years ago.   She was smart and fearless and the alfa cat of the house. We knew this day was coming soon, she lived a very long life. She could no longer jump up on our laps and at the end she would stand in front of our chairs for us to pick her up. We loved her so very much and we're truly grieving her loss.

So this Masterpiece Monday is dedicated in honor of Coocoo, she was a true masterpiece.

    So sorry about CooCoo. We have a 16 year old cat who can't jump up anymore. So of course we pick her up and carry her around. We will be so sad when she goes. Thank you for hosting! Wishing you a beautiful week. Toodles, Kathryn @TheDedicatedHouse
