Timmy deserved this!

The March issue of the Town Crier gave Timmy something special - a front page good-bye to him by me. It had his picture, too. What a wonderful way to thank him and me for his(our) 10 years of writing service to the Georgetown Divide. I am so grateful for this, too.

A message from Timmy

In the early part of this past February I had purchased some of Timmy's KD dry pet food at our Vet's office. I also got him 2 toy mice (one bright blue and one bright yellow). When I came home he was reclining on our bed so I tossed them on the bed. He looked at them and at me and continued reclining while I was present. Later that evening I discovered the yellow mouse was no where to be found. Of course when I asked Timmy he pleaded the 5th Amendment. Then yesterday morning (2 weeks after his passing) when I got up and before I put on my glasses I noticed something on the floor next to the big black pillow bed where Ebony was sleeping. Since I wasn't sure what it was I used something to pick it up and then I put on my glasses. I was holding one very chewed up yellow toy mouse. Where Ebony found it I will never know as she is also pleading the 5th Amendment. I put it in a little plastic bag and later that day I shared it with my friends at the Vet's office. During that evening I was standing in the hallway which leads to the bedrooms when I thought I saw 2 shiny eyes staring at me from Timmy's doorway and that was followed by a dark shape running first from that room to our bedroom and back again. Now you see it then you don't! Perhaps it was Timmy's way of getting in touch. It left me with a strange yet comforting feeling.

My future and Life goes on

Effective in March I will be writing a new column which will appear in the Gold Country Monthly. This is a free paper that can be found in 17 different places in and around Cool. I will be using Timmy's cartoon and the first column is titled FYI for Furry Friends. For those who have access to this newspaper I hope you will enjoy my new endeavor. I will be happy to send a copy of my columns to anyone who can't get this newspaper. Just email me at
