Hi my name is Katherine and I live in Leduc, Alberta, Canada which is 15 minutes south of Edmonton and home to the world famous West Edmonton Mall. I work for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (R.C.M.P.), which is a extremely interesting job.
My family consists of my husband Brian and we had a blue eyed Siberian Husky named Yukon who loved her 2 to 3 walks a day. Yukon passed away on July 24/07 at the age of 14 years & 7 months.
We have a beautiful male Tuxedo cat named Kuffs, whom we rescued in December, 2006. He around 6 weeks old & was dumped off at my husband's business in -30 Celcius weather & was half froze when Brian found him. Kuffs brought back life into Yukon for the nine months that he was with her. Those two certainly loved to cuddle & chase one another. After Yukon's passing, Kuffs quit eating, looked for Yukon & cried constantly. We had full intentions of getting him a playmate but it happened sooner than later.
That same week we went to the Humane Society (SPCA)& adopted a gorgeous little female pure grey kitten & named her Jesse. She is just precious & became Kuffs baby sister.
