On Tuesday it was a year since Hazel passed. I still see her in her favorite spots. Even all the commotion new cat Sasha makes doesn’t dim her memory. Here are my favorite pictures of this sweet cat.
Goodbye sweet Hazel. We still remember you!

She was beautiful. Salem and Sasha and I said a prayer for her. I’m sure she’s napping in Heaven right now. Probably keeping some little human company until she can see you again.

They worm their ways into our hearts and even a year later, you still see her in her favorite spots. I am glad you shared these wonderful photos. What a sweet friend she was. We add to our fur families, but new little faces don’t replace the former. 😦

In some ways she’s a lot like Hazel but much more friendly. Maybe what should say is that she shares Hazel’s love of food.

Yuck! Had severe flu 2 years ago and in bed for 2 weeks! Caught it in Paris and went straight to bed when I got home! Love my kitty too, adopted her 1.5 years ago, just precious! Also, have 4 Dachshunds and a Shih Tze that I adopted over a period of 4 years, but my precious baby, Pele”, died on September 7th, a puppy mill dog, really sad health when I got him, and he was around 14 yo, I had him 9 years, very loved and missed terribly! Our pets die too young! Hazel is beautiful,, loved the picture of her asleep on part of your husband’s shoulder, sweet!

We call that the butt in the face picture. There are 4 cats here. Each one is loved and each is so different. Gracie was rescued from a hoarding situation. Some odd behaviors but very people friendly. She is the first one to come out for visitors. A friend has a puppy mill dog and it took years and medications to help it enjoy life.

I wondered about you! The flu is bad. Most people think colds are flu but they are not. Not even close. Hope the rest of the winter is kinder to you. Go Eagles! (This house is already a little crazy. We were trying to book something with friends but had to wait until my husband checked out the whole playoff schedule…just in case! He has high hopes!)

Now you know how much I LOVED my girl Hazel, especially when she loathed getting weighed at the vet. We had so much in common, and I’m sad to learn she has moved on to that big sunny window in the sky ❤ No doubt Hazel is missed …

Oh she was a beauty……and of course you know how I feel about “biggies” – Teddy is 23 lbs. of gentle giant. I always said “just more of them to love” which I’m sure you feel is true having been besties with Hazel for 12 years. She was very photogenic. Sometimes I see Sammy (the cat before Teddy) around the house and while my BRAIN knows he’s not there, my HEART sees what it wants to see. I’m sure Hazel knows what I’m talking about!!
Hugs, Pam
