How sad... I'll miss Tubby and I never even knew him. BUT!!! I did notice this "Victor Martinez" wrote in message ... Sunday at 5 PM, Tom Spencer's "Austin Now," for a tour of the farm. If you happen to see that, you'll have to let us know how it is! Unfortunately, it seemed like it was a sad day when they were filming. It seems that Tubby went very peacefully, and it was a happy story. |

Farm walk!" He came with us to this piece of bottom land almost twelve years ago. He was Dot's (our daughter's) kitten. She'd named him "Sable," in reference to his blackness, and together they came to help us start the farm. He had baby fat even then, probably as a result of the alteration of his tom-cat status, and to me, "Tubby" seemed a friendlier name. But because he deserved a full name, I titled him "Tubby J. Tupelo." I explained to the curious that his ancestors came from Tupelo, Mississippi, like the other famous black-haired individual, Elvis. Nonsense, yes, but it suited him, and me. What a lovely tribute and what a great life for a cat! (or for anyone for that matter! Thanks for sharing this. Jennie |
