This kitty cat story I must tell, about two travelers named Tiggs
and LuLa Belle. Exclaimed Pam and Ken looking in the window,
"They're the ones; oh yes we know." LuLa Belle, she’s so beautiful
and shy, and Tiggs, a lover boy, just prancing by. They hugged them
up and whisked them away, no need to return another day.
Love visiting Tennessee, but home is Vero – seeing the suitcases,
they purr, "Let's go." Now these sweet cats do move about. Does their
furniture go too? Oh yes, no doubt. Yet the minute Tiggs hears Ken's
car, this feline knows he can't be far. So Tiggs abandons Pam's lap –
yes, even if he's taking a nap.
See them piled up in their toy ship? They must be dreaming of
another trip. So goodbye precious cats, so very adored; you bet your
life, they're never bored.

Cody Mulhern
When Ellen Mulhern and children, Kellie, Catlin, and Sean, decided to extend
their family, they knew exactly what they wanted and where to find their new addition.
They were seeking a beagle who would share lots of love with them. After
weeks of searching, Kellie called to her family from the Shelter’s kennel, “I found
him.” She had come across Cody, a four-year-old beagle.
The Mulhern family’s new member is full of spirit. Cody is happiest when he is
with the kids, especially when they take him for walks. Cody loves to walk around
the pond to monitor the ducks. He is so intrigued by them that once he jumped
through the screened window and ran to the pond with the screen flapping
around him.
At night he snuggles up on Ellen’s bed, drifts off to sleep, and snores loudly;
but she doesn’t mind. He is a joyful addition to the family.

Hello, I’m Twinkie! I was brought to the Humane Society as a threemonth-old
frightened kitten. The first person who helped me when I arrived
was Carolyn Duncan, a cat volunteer. She gave me my name, put me
in her lap, and played with me every day. I didn’t notice at first, but maybe
she began to love me, too.
Within a week I was adopted and moved to someone’s home for a
year and a half. Then sadly, they said they couldn’t afford to keep me, and
I was returned to the Shelter. This time I was in a different cat room, I had
a new name, and Carolyn didn’t see me.
Then one day Carolyn came into my cat room and found me again!
She realized I was Twinkie, now all grown up. She told me she had just
lost her cat to illness. It was love at “second” sight for both of us. We were
meant to be together after all!
