I was blessed with three unusual and memorable pets whose stories must be shared. Initially, I just wanted to put these stories together in a book to present to my son and my daughter for Christmas this year, but after spending so much time writing about them, I believe there is a market for these experiences with other animal lovers. NEIKA was given to us as a kitten to solve a mouse problem and we all just fell in love with her. She grew into a very large grey stripped cat with a beautiful face of a tiger, and a personality to match, but we loved her so. And BISCUIT -a beauty- was highly aggressive and intelligent and could be destructive and vicious, while also being loveable and loyal, gave us the greatest gift ever. And APACHE was a happy, perceptive and insightful dog, who not only gave me and the kids much love, but his love and caring extended well beyond our little home.
