Diane's cat, Tootie

As there are no children, I will document some things. I grew up within an "only child" family environment, so my relationship with my parents was very strong. I had many friends with neighborhood kids. We had a rural neighborhood with farms all around so I was surrounded with animals- horses, cows, rabbits, and chickens. I have loved animals my whole life. This same area that was so rural back then was a couple of blocks from Camelback Road! We were within walking distance of Christown, one of the first shopping malls in the country.
