We lost our outdoor kitty cat this weekend. Bob has been with us since 2004. Joe brought him home from work, when he was working in CDA. Said he was a stray cat and that the neighbors were trying to poison him. So of course Joe's big heart for animals he took him home and Bob's lived in our garage ever since. Try to find Bob in all these pictures, he's always been there in the background. He use to protect Gavin as a baby, when I would take Gavin outside Bob was always right at his feet. This Saturday night (8/6/11) Bob passed away, he had seemed kind of sick the last few days. Just really slow and sleepy, I checked on him at 10:30 before we went to bed and he was still breathing. Joe went outside at 11:30 and found him dead by our AC unit right outside the garage. Joe wanted to bury him soon and in our backyard behind some bushes, so we did it together at midnight. Hope the neighbors didn't think we were crazy or something? We'll always remember Bob, he was a good kitty.

08/12/2009 Bob loved the swing set, spent a lot of time sleeping there.

04/28/2009 Where's Bob, always in the background. The boys playing with their hot wheels for the first time.

01/15/2008 Winter snow shoveling, Bob was always there to lend a paw.

06/14/2007 Backyard family pictures, Bob wanted to be in everyone of them. That's Gavin trying to give him a kiss.

Daddy and Bob!!!

06/26/2006 Hanging in the yard with the boys, Gavin was about 9months old.

06/08/2006 This is where Bob spent most of his life with us, our back porch. He made a friend this year (we called him Bob's friend) they would love each other and then fight one another.

05/28/2005 Bob got shaved this year, he had so many knots in this hair it was hurting him. We took him into the Vet. and had him go under just to shave his hair. He looked totally different without his hair.

02/27/2005 Bob loved to sleep in our BBQ cover, he'd just curl up in there and have a nice nap most days.

11/27/2004 More back porch pictures when we first got him. This is pre-kids years.

Peeking in through the Kitchen window, when I do dishes he would be there checking on me.

He loved the Arborvitae's!! Now he's still there under the bushes, always with us.
