It is with overwhelming sadness that we let everyone know of the passing of Stonehaven's most famous ambassador..."Isaac...the big yellow cat!"
Anyone who has been to our house over the past 11 years is familiar with the immediate greeting they recieved upon coming into the house. This may sound odd but he was so much more than "a cat" and everyone who visited us to meet our dogs (even "non-cat" people) ended up wanting to take Isaac home as a package deal!
Isaac was always the first to the whelping box when puppies were born so that he could "assist" and he was the last to leave when the kids went to thier new homes. He would let puppies torture him, loving every minute! Many years later as adults coming to visit, it was always amazing to see the look on their face when they saw Isaac. They immediately turned into puppies again and starting licking him all over and submitting to him.
If you didn't know where Isaac was, you only had to look for the bed with the most dogs on it and somewhere buried in between you would find him sound asleep. We always wondered if he knew he was a cat?
We take comfort in knowing his battle with brain cancer was brief and painless but his passing leaves an amazing void in our home and hearts. He was a friend that could never be replaced.
Until we meet again....we miss you buddy....
