Darling Mikey came into rescue a scared little one who
was certain that people would hurt him. His early years must have
been horribly abusive. He was fearful of being picked up, was
terrified to go onto furniture, and was never good with strangers. Unpredictable,
Mikey was not adoptable and became one of my own. Over the
years, he learned he was safe with me, allowed me to lift him without
fear, and finally learned that sleeping on the bed was wonderful.
Little Mikey died of liver failure. He was much loved and will be
sorely missed.
