Buddy "Hamhocks" McKenna
2003-April 7, 2009
We have lost a dear part of our little family last night.
Buddy "Hamhocks" McKenna, started life out roughly. He was subjected to abuse and living on the street til a nice elderly couple took him in. He lived in peace with them for a couple of years. Unfortunately they could not take care, nor afford to keep Buddy; Justin just happened to be selling to a small pet shop when he encountered the couple. They graciously gave Buddy to Justin have a better home and life. Buddy happily joined Justin and has been a loving & awesome pet since. We couldn't have asked for a sweeter cat.

(Justin sleeping, Buddy watching TV & cuddling :))
I first encountered Buddy on my first visit to Justin's home. While I was asleep, Buddy took a liking to me; when I woke he was sleeping right on top of me like we were ment to be pals! I knew instantly that him and I would have a special bond, but definitely not like his connection with Justin.

(Double Trouble)
You will be greatly & deeply missed little man!! We will always love you and never forget you!!
r;">So Buddy, Buddylious, Billy Bud, BuddyWuddy and lastly Little Man.. til we meet again...
(Buddy & Tiger)
A note to friends & family. If you can and are willing please adopt an animal. There is to much over crowding and under caring of animals in our country. Let's help them have better lives, homes and happiness. You never know what you will get in return.
