Leonardo is so named because he looks like a lion but also because the movie "Titanic" was popular at the time. He is a lover so is named after Leonardo DiCaprio. Three isn't a crowd...I got Leo two months after Ripley. Then, the potato chip craving switched from cats to Jack Russells because Dash decided that I wasn't allowed to have any more kitties because he likes to eat that flavor of potato chip.
Now that my kitties have their own special room, that has opened the door to future kitty acquisitions. I found a scrawny kitten in the parking lot of my hotel while at a dog show in August 2008. So...kitty number four is named "Georgia" because I was in Perry, GA when I found her.
A good dog never dies. He always stays.
He walks beside you on crisp autumn days
When frost is on the fields and when the year
Is ending and the winter's drawing near.
And when it's summer and the bees are humming,
He leaps ahead of you and waits your coming.
And any time you're lonely--look, you'll see
His great eyes watching you still solemnly.
Just call him in your heart, he'll cease his play,
His head within your hand, in his old way.
