Today in honor of Butchie Barney Nishitani

December 26, 2010 by Diana

One year ago today Margaret and Karen lost a cat companion named Butchie Barney Nishitani. Butchie was a feral who was taken in by a friend of Margaret and Karen’s. When their friend fell ill, Butchie came to live with them. He lived a long life and we know his last several years were filled with love at M. & K.’s.

Today is a sponsor-a-day in honor of Butchie’s memory.

Below is a happy photo of Annie and Missy to remind us all to celebrate life and play a little today.

    Margaret and Karen, how lovely to remember Butchie with the chimps. He would have liked that. You both are in my heart.

    Thanks Denise, Marie and Jeani. Yes, Butchie was a darling…..a big black and white boy. He loved to “dance” which means rolling on the floor in all kinds of poses. We miss him but it is good to help our seven friends in his honor.
