-----------------------------------------------

This journal is a dedication of sorts to the only model I have ever photographed more times than I can remember. A few photos from our many photo shoots are posted here, and many will never be seen by members outside my family.

As those devwatching me may (or may not) know, my 11 1/2-year-old blue-point Siamese cat, Parker, was euthanized on the morning of Thursday, January 25, 2007. Parker had gone into sudden kidney failure, and the morning of his passing, he also had a series of cluster seizures. The vet thinks it was a brain tumor that caused my kitty's rapid deterioration from the vibrant, happy, playful creature he was in early November to the lethargic, depressed, sorry state he was in when I made the decision to put him down.

I want to thank everyone who has commented on the pictures I've posted of Parker, complimenting his beauty, his deep blue eyes, his sweet face, his soft fur, and thank you for adding the pictures to your favorites. A big thank you to ketsukei, who visited me, Parker and my family this summer, and to ichigogamu for the beautiful picture of my baby. Thank you.






Thank you, Parker. You truly are my angel kitty. I love you, and I will see you again, I promise.
