Remembering Those Who Passed

We Will Miss You

We lost a lot of good friends at the sanctuary this year. Yes, we have a lot of animals left—46—but that doesn’t take away from the ones we lost. I wrote about a few of them in these posts: Luigi in Everything Has A Purpose, Cool Pig, in Toughest Decision of All, and my precious Whiskers in A Kiss is Just a Kiss. I haven’t had the heart to tell the whole story of Whiskers yet. Maybe next year, after more time passes. In the meantime, here are a few pictures of the ones who moved to better grounds.

Giacomo Giammatteo is the author of Murder Takes Time, and A Bullet For Carlos. He lives in Texas where he and his wife have an animal sanctuary with 46 loving “friends.”

  1. I’m usually the same way about my guys. I need a little time before I can talk about it. The first few weeks/months are hardest on me and I don’t like to show that side in public.

    All I can say is that your friends were damn lucky to find you and Mikki. They couldn’t have asked for a better home.

    Heaven will be pretty crowded when you get there. All your furry friends will argue which of them will kiss you first. 🙂

    I hope 2013 brings you much happiness. No one deserves it more.

  • This blog will be a little different from many you see. Contrary to the characters in my books, I don’t really kill people, or catch those who do, so the blogs might be about reading, or writing, or animals. These are the things I have great passion for. It might also contain posts about food, or ancestry, or substance abuse. My oldest son is a great cook. My daughter is a genealogist (rootsintheboot.com) and my youngest son is a recovering drug addict. He has been clean for three years, and runs a rehab center (intoactionrecovery.com).

    I hope you enjoy the posts, and please let me know what you think.

    Ciao,

    Giacomo
