Support the Alley Cats!!!

Welcome to me

Mr Peeps

I don't remember when I was born, but it was between 1995 - 2000.

I was living at the local animal shelter (Mendocino County Animal Shelter) when I picked my current house mates. It was easy as pie. They came in to the cat room and I just walked right over to the man and climbed up on his shoulder and purred.

It worked!!!!

I have been living with them since 2005.

I also live with three dogs (Rain, Cali & Marlee) and three other cats (Big Kitty, Jester & Bramble) - I pretty much keep to myself but am a friendly guy-really.

On August 13th 2008 I was diagnosed with Chronic Renal Failure (CRF) - this is my story.

Most of the time my mom will be telling this story...sometimes I'll put in my two cents worth ;-)

See my lab results at the very end of my blog.

And when the sun goes down,your memory still hangin' around....I see your emerald eyes.

it's a long story...
But suffice it to say he was buried yesterday, overlooking the river and near Douina.

It was hard but does have a very final feeling completed now.

Mr. Peeps has pretty bulbs planted in his honor and now has a spot for his people to remember in our very people way.

Special thanks goes to my baby brother who helped us...retrieve the body.
Thank you brother.
