Another Day...

Isn't this a great day? The sun is shining and we are alive for God to bless.

I have this solid black cat. Her name is Black Pepper. I just call her Pepper. I have never had a cat that came to their name, but Pepper does. She is a tiny little thing, only about 8 lbs. When I am on the computer, which is most of the time, she is sitting between me and the keyboard. Usually that is okay but sometimes I need full access to the keyboard. It seems that I am continually picking her up and putting her on the floor. You know I would miss her if she were not sitting there.

When I first get up in the morning she meows until I pet her. She never seems to get enough. After a while she will quite down and either sit with me at the computer or go to the bedroom and sleep. She prefers to sleep on the bed. Well that is where your suppose to sleep, right?

When I get home, no matter how long I have been gone, she will be waiting by the door meowing letting me know that I have missed some quality petting time.

She is the most friendly cat I have ever known. She will go to anyone she thinks might pet her. I remember in 2004 my sister and her two kids came to visit from way out of town. I was living at our Mothers house at the time and Pepper was with me. I remember that my niece and nephew were so surprised that if you pat your chest and say "come here Pepper" and Pepper would jump up in your lap. They thought that was really cool.

I know that if I ever need some closeness with a fellow creation that all I have to do is pat my chest and say "come here Pepper" and she is there for me. I can always count on her. Her needs are few yet she gives so much without complaining.

I'm really glad to have her in my life. Friends are always welcome and she is my best friend. I would love to have more friends like her.

I love you, Pepper

Have a great day!
