Dedication

I would like to dedicate this book to my best friend and companion Figaro, the best cat in the world. Figaro passed away on July 30th, 2005. He and I had been together since I was 18 and in my senior year in high school. That was almost 18 and 1/2 years ago. I’m going to miss him so much, I can’t even express it in words. Towards the end, he was having health problems, so I’m glad that he’s at peace. And I know that he and my grandfather are together in the next life and will be watching over me until it’s my time to join them. Thank you, Figaro, for the experience of having you as a friend and for teaching me so much about love, caring, and how to live life. I will love you forever!

If you are interested in seeing a picture of Figaro or would like to share your own pet-related stories, go to http://www.digifreq.com/digifreq/discussdetail.asp?TopicID=8246, where I’ve set up a special topic in the DigiFreq Discussion area.
