She sounds like an amazing dog. If I could send her a piece of bacon back in time, I would. It sounds like she lived a wonderful life with you and your family, though.
Most of our cats are the the kittens and grandkittens of three cats, all of whom were strays. We got Ms. Jade Dingle when her mother was shot by a local farmer who feared she might come after his chickens. He told us we were welcome to the only kitten he'd found with her, so we took her in. She quickly became... intimately acquainted with Momotaro, another stray whom we found as a kitten.
Momo appeared at the same time as another cat named Julian, Momo is a handsome Japanese bobtail, while Julian is a beautiful, well-groomed creature with a Siamese coat and personality. We've often suspected that these two well-bred felines were also dumped by a cat breeder.
(I have no problem with profiting over animals or animal breeding. I do have a problem for inflicting harm and suffering on innocent kittens and puppies in the pursuit of said profit. )
