Beautiful Belle gave me unconditional love. She and her sister Suzie (who will also miss her) have been through good times and bad times with me - true friends and companions! I used to cradle Belle in my arms, like a baby, and she would push all four paws into my chin - no claws - and push hard! She also had some cool 'ballet' moves, stretching and flexing legs, paws, tail... She rests in peace in a wonderful spot in my garden - I've made a little zen-garden type grave where I can sit and raise a glass to her. Bon voyage ma puce!
