my cat tiddles sits and listens to me practice scales in an old chair,...my best audience. My dog was put down years ago but he suffered all night paralyzed and afraid, I was devastated. There are always many new pets to be adopted,...my cat had been through three homes, the last very abusive, untill she decided to live with me. There is a space that can be filled with a new friend perhaps.

"what the friend that left before taught us serves well as a greeting upon the nervous new one..."
