This blog is dedicated to my precious baby Oreo. Although I do not know her exact birthday she was born in June 1993. She has always been so healthy & happy, she was a very loving big time momma's girl. I got her as a kitten when I was 15. I moved from Florida to Georgia in July of 1993 right after I graduated 8th grade. At first I didn't like the idea of having a cat because during the time we got her up until we were about to get into the moving truck and leave which was maybe only a week or two, I realized that a pet is ALOT of work and I didn't think I was up for that. Me, my step dad and Oreo rode in the moving truck, while my mom, brother and Cookie rode in my moms car. During our trip me and Oreo bonded, we became in separable.
Moving after 8th grade is hard because I wanted so badly to go to high school with my friends. Starting over at a new school is one thing, starting high school out of state has to be the worst. I was so miserable and all I wanted to do was go back home. It took me 5yrs to get used to Georgia. I didn't have any friends but that's because I didn't want any, I refused to like anyone or anything about Georgia.
But I had Oreo! She kept me company and loved me and slept with me every night. Everyday she knew around what time I would be coming home and she was waiting in the kitchen window just waiting for my bus to drop me off. I could see her out of the bus window and it would make me smile. Her little face was the only thing that brightened my day, and I could see that she felt the same. When I got off the bus and would walk towards the house she would stand up and watch me until I got to the stairs then jump down and run to the door, were I was greeted by a cute little baby who had alot to say.
She was all I had for so long and I am so thankful for her and every second that we had together. For the last, maybe, 5yrs or so I have had Oreo & Cookie. Cookie used to be my brother's baby, then she became my mom's baby, but when I moved out I could not separate them so I took her with me. Cookie warmed up to me and my husband and she is now a daddy's girl. This blog was going to be just for Oreo, a place for me to write down how I am feeling or how I miss her and stories of her so that I can never certain things she/we did. But I still have Cookie and she is doing good, so I think it would only be fair to make this blog for both the girls, so that I don't have to start a separate one for Cookie later.
My life has now changed forever in just 4 devastating days!
