Amelia aproaches the podium
Cleopatra, Tabitha, Samuel, please come join me. Samantha was not a member of our immediate household. She lived with our Paw's brother, our Unca Pat. Samantha had been with Pat for several years, and before then had lived with Paw and Unca Pat's grandmother for many years. She was a wonderful, loyal, protective cat. She guarded her territory well and didn't let any intruders in. Strange dogs never came into her yard (at least, not more than once). Neighbor cats were never allowed in either, except that Samantha could tell when a stray cat was in need of food or shelter and would allow them to enter her yard, and would sometimes even allow them into her house for food or shelter. Samantha was also very tolerant of Unca Pat's d-pets. One incident stands out in my mind. Pat's d-pet Bridget used to always bark at people walking too close to the front fence. She got great fun from doing this. Bridget was getting old, though. One day, close to the time when Bridget left for the Rainbow Bridge, Samantha, Pat, and Bridget were all sitting in the front yard. Just then a group of teenagers walked past the house, making a lot of noise. Bridget was too tired and weak to go bark at them. Seeing this, Samantha charged at the fence, yowling and screaming at the teenagers to go away. Sam saw that Bridget was too tired to do her guard duty, so Sam did it for her, allowing Bridget to rest some more. I think that pretty clearly illustrates Samantha's big, caring heart. It was this year that Samantha lost her battle with that awful monster, CRF. Samantha, we will all miss you. Amelia for the entire Mahoney family Chip, Pepsi, Sapphire, Diamond, Barney, Dakota Brown, an Lime awl say a silent purrayer fur Samantha.
