"My sweet baby boy, Rocky was a tiny dog in a cat’s body, packed with a feisty, playful spirit and a personality that outshone everyone. He was named after Rocky Balboa as I shared a love of Rocky movies with my grandmother Lulu and those are some of the fondest memories I have with her. Rocky was the ultimate cuddle bug, waiting faithfully by the door for mommy to come home and greeting every guest with an enthusiastic headbutt. For nearly 15 years, nothing made his big heart happier than his favorite googly-eyed froggy toy, and a snuggle with mommy at bedtime. We were soulmates through and though."

"Named after my amazing grandmother Lucille, AKA Lulu. She had many names to include, Noons, Noonie, & Loodie Doo, and far too many more to mention. My sweet little diluted tortie was my shadow, following me wherever I went and sleeping perfectly snuggled firmly by my hip for over 17 years. She was the bravest kitty I knew, yet her heart belonged to the simplest comforts: her furry bed by the warm fireplace, morning and evening brushes, and gentle nose boopies. She ruled her kingdom with a sweet persistence, loved her brother fiercely, (there were litter mates believe it or not)-and demanded a strict minimum of 10,000 belly rubs a day and never, ever letting mommy miss snack time."
