Snowball turns 20 , so we are married 30
last modified: Tuesday, March 24, 2009 (9:11:11 AM)
Well another year has passed and our elderly cat Snowball has made it to be 20 years old. This last year it was in doubt for she's felling her age and has lost so much weight. She though is not about to give up. She still jumps onto the coffee table then up onto the couch and Maria's lap so none of the other cats can sit there.

Well as I have written before she was born under our bed on our 10th wedding aniversary so that now makes 30 years of being together. I was so lucky to find the correct one early on and we have enjoyed our lives. Our kids have grown , been replaced with 3 cats. All is right with the world.

Well to celebrate I have a small update.
I have new series title Ai Yori Aoshi Enishi which was the second season of Ai Yori Aoshi. In that section you will now see Ao & Kaoru in Cat Ears (like I could resist that image LOL).
Also updated are:
Early Ranma 1/2
Girls Bravo
The World of Narue

The time with your pet is precious especially if you have been blessed to have been with them that long, a rare treat indeed. I know that to be the case because just last week I had to put to sleep my 21 year old dog and I was crushed by that blow. 20 years is more than most marriages last now a days so keep on building on those precious memories of yours so whenever your beloved one is not around anymore those precious memories will keep you smiling for as long as you have them...God Bless

Congratulations! In my family the folks, uncles and aunts have been together for a long time too. I don''t remember any separation at all. It''s quite a feat and I like to hear it about other people as well, especially now that it''s become more the exception than the norm (it seems). Congratulations to all of you!

Congratulations on 30 years together. In this day and age, where divorce is so prevalent, it is always nice to see people who tough it out together. :)

Congratulations -- on the wonderful sketch of Aoi and Kaoru in cat ears and also on your two milestones. My wife and I managed to survive 30 years of knowing each other this spring. (The first time she had me over, I did a tarot reading and slipped her the Death Card!) Half of American marriages last less than a year, and so if you''ve toughed it out this long, it looks like you''re hitched for good. Our Ollie sends geriatric yowls and rubs to Snowball.

I concur w/ Brenda''s comment, its a breath of fresh air to hear/read about wonderful couples that really brave it all together and come out stronger! Nowadays ppl get married for the sake of not being single and throw in the towel at the drop of a hat.
Congratulations on your anniversary (and may we all get to congratulate you and Maria for many many many more! ^__^)
And of course Snowball too! ^_~
Give him a scratch on the head for me!!!
