Hercules, Our Special Kitty



Hercules
July 1996-June 12, 2010

We were so lucky that Hercules decided to live with us. After he suddenly appeared in our backyard, he never left. From then on, he was ours for keeps. Hercules brought love, joy, and laughter to our lives. He gave us peace, and comfort. His purity, and innocence, were constant reminders of the simple beauty of life. We were always impressed, and inspired, by his tremendous courage, and huge spirit. We miss Hercules more than words can say. He will live in our hearts forever.

Purity and innocence says it all.
Words are inadequate to say how deeply meaningful our pets are to us. Little people in fur suits is more like it.
I'm sure he will come to you in a dream, Nancy.
Hugs to you and Brian.
