"I Loved Lucy"

The year was 1996. Ricardo and I decided to get a cat..Or more like "I" wanted to get a cat. We went to the pound. I was looking at all the little kitties, cooing at all of them until Ricardo came up to me and asked, "what about this one?"..I turned around fell in love instantly with my little Lulu.. Lucy was crying out to us..I started to cry and said, "That's the one".. And history speaks for itself..Looking at all the pictures you'll know why I loved Lucy sooo much.

This was the first picture I took of Lu. So small so cute..

When Joey was born Lucy was very curious wondering, "what is this thing?"

As you can see, Lucy was very patient and kind..She didn't care if we put our new baby on top of her.. What cat allows that? She was a trooper.
Of course as Joey got older he got a little rough at times. But Lucy still tolerated the abuse: hehe..

Strings were a lot of fun for my little Lu..

Joey's bean bag turned into "Lucy's bean bag"..That was a common place for Lucy to lay in.

The kids adored Lu.

She even took naps with family members(Sionna napping with Lu)

Napping with Joey

She even tolerated Raquel's extreme behavior. Dancing was not quite her thing, but she did it anyways.

I decided to be a cat for Halloween one year..Mama and baby Lucy..

Here is a video of Raquel being silly with Lu..

Some of you may or may not have known Lucy, but she was my baby before Joey and Raquel were born. She was feisty, so kind, loving, funny, playful, a good companion and most of all just a wonderful cat. She would cry and cry for food, or to be let outside. Or inside that is.. When I asked her if she was hungry she would Meow to me..That is something very rare with cats. Even though she made me crazy at times(like any animal) I loved her with all my heart. She will be missed so very much.

I love you Lucy..We will meet again someday.

My princess's

Raquel stayed home from school because she had a little cold. I found her, in my bed, with all her webkinz laying in a row.. Cutie!

And here is Lucy: She was very ill a few weeks ago and became a different cat after getting well. She wouldn't touch any dry food I tried to feed her with or anything else I put in front of her. This is a new spot where she loves spending her time. I knew she was hungry so I put her food where she was laying..The little princess she has become!

Lucy and The Xmas Tree

This is Lucy's favorite time of the year. Her Xmas Tree is back! She adores the tree. She loves rubbing herself against it, hiding behind the tree, and laying underneath it. The kids got a huge kick out of this first picture of Lucy. They were laughing and laughing so hard because her eyes look funny, and she looks like she's smiling..

Trying to get Lucy out from behind the tree, the kids put some of her food near the front. Did it work? Not really. She ate the food, but went back behind the tree..
