When we got home from Jessie`s softball games last night, we found out sweet cat Daisy laying in the road dead. The kids were all very sad and cried and cried. Delwyn went out and helped get him of the road and buried him in the back yard. Ky was the most sad because she claimed him as her cat and it was her birthday. Not a very good way to end a fun birthday.
Some of our favorite memories of Daisy:
°Aleeya remembers him running into the house and hiding under her bed and not being able to get him to come out. He also liked to run downstairs and hide behind the couch. Aleeya loved to carry and pet him, he had some very soft fur.
°Just a couple of weeks ago I decided to take the kids on a walk. Daisy started to follow us, I thought he would go back as soon as we past the neighbors house but he followed us the entire walk. When we started back home he was to tired to come. Ky went and picked him up to carry him but that didn't last long and he jumped out of her arms. He then hid in some branches. I couldn't get him out and they were all mad because they were sure the cat would never come home. As we walked I kept calling his name and he comes out and followed us all the way back home. When the house was in sight Daisy took off running and stayed in the shade on the deck for the rest of the night. I knew that dogs liked to go for walks but not cats, but I guess I was wrong.
°Last fall Daisy had a sore leg and had to be taken to the Vet. Aleeya kept crying and asking us not to give her a shot. We told her that they would take really good care of her. She was so cute carrying Daisy into the Vet. When we went to pick her up we found out that it was a boy. We had called him Daisy for so long that the name just stayed. I don't thing the cat cared.
°I loved to watch Daisy and Butterscotch play out on the deck. Aleeya would yell at Daisy because she thought he was hurting Butterscotch. I never could convince her that they were just playing, I will miss that.
° Jessica favorite memory was when we first got the cat. It was the day before Aleeya`s birthday, and a neighbor found out in the field and they couldn't keep it so have it to us. They came home and begged us to keep it.
° Kylynn loved to snuggle with him. He only liked it for a short time then wanted down. He would sit out front and watch the kids as they waited for the bus.
Daisy was a good mouser and will be missed.
