Dear Abbie,

I'm 10 years old and my cat's name is Mittens. She is a brown tabby. One day she ran away and we were very sad. Then after a blizzard, the Colorado Athletic Club gave us a call and said we found your cat. So we went and picked her up. It was a miracle. Now I love and cherish her. I feed her her favorite canned food every morning and give her a fresh bowl of water. I also clean her litter box every morning. Mitten's best friend is my dog Paiute. She loves to bat his tail and sleep with him. They even drink together. Well that's my story on my cat.

Sincerely,

Kathryn Blumhardt

Hi, I am 10 years old and my best friend is my dog Nicky. She is one year old. We (my family) got Nicky at the Denver Dumb Friends League. She is a mix of German Shepard, Keeshone, and Chow. We were looking for a black lab but when we saw Nicky we fell in love with her. Nicky loves to sleep on my parents bed and sometimes on my bed. My cat is her best friend. I have no idea how I could live without her. She is very friendly with adults, kids, and she loves other dogs. Nicky loves to give kisses to anyone. We adopted Nicky when she was two months old. Nicky never stops wagging her tail she such a happy, loving dog. Nicky is my best friend and I love her SO much!
