Joseph Aristotle the Third

After my beloved cat, Robbie, died about 6 months ago, I was not sure if I ever wanted another animal ever again. It took all of week for me to realize, with the gentle coaxing of friends, that I needed a little furry friend STAT. Corey was still deployed and agreed whole-heartedly, that until I had an animal, I would not be happy. Corey didn't want me to pick out a dog without him but encouraged me to go to the shelter and pick us out a kitty. Julie took me to the animal hospital she worked at and brought out all the kitties that were looking for homes. Well, I don't know how many of you have tried it, but having a lapful of kitties is the most therapeutic thing in the world. I wanted all of them, but little Joe bonded to me immediately. He has been the biggest little blessing in my life. Even though now he prefers Corey to me anyday, I will always be grateful to the little ball of fur that healed my broken heart.
