Our beloved Jet, You chose to stay with us the longest, dear friend, First your mum Kittie Cat came to me that day, she jumped up onto my wheelchair that day, landing ever so softly onto my lap, carefully avoiding that tender spot where my right leg used to be.
With that unique mottle colored face and those kind eyes, staring right into the depths of my soul, she got up on her hind legs, to snuggle briefly against my chest, just as she did when I brought her in from the cold on that terrible stormy and joyful night, 3 years before.
Braving the possible wrath of those pet-less creatures (us), she sat there on the outside window sill, her tiny body tossed about, as huge raindrops pelted down on her already drenched fur, forlornly peering inward to the warmth of our bedroom.
Yes, in that single moment she stole every ounce of love we could muster, snuggling up right there into all of out hearts. That day she left, briefly she gazed back into my eyes one last time as she gently jumped down onto the floor and disappeared through the open door, never to be seen again We still miss her terribly.
Your brothers and sisters all went ahead of you, but you, my boy, you stayed with us, moving with us to our new home, brave like your mom, you watched over us and your new great young friend, Anana our gangly legged pup, from that same land of special stray pets. Your tiny body returned to us, the victim of a hit and run.
Anana still misses you a lot my boy, and she still peers through your favorite open window some evenings, the moment she hears something sounding remotely like you coming in from one of your adventures.
Your ever loving family,
Andre' Daleen & Aurora

A Great Dollar Saving Tic and Flea Repellant, Citronella
Citronella
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), citronella has been used for more than 50 years as an insect repellent, and is particularly effective in repelling mosquitoes, biting flies and fleas. The active insect-repelling ingredient is the oil extracted from the dried citronella grass. Citronella oil has a tart, citrus-like odor that can make it difficult for an insect to locate a host via its sense of smell. It's important to note, however, that citronella merely repels insects, and does not kill them.
Characteristics
Citronella oil is usually colorless, although it may have a slight yellow tinge, and is identifiable by its woodsy, lemony odor. The oil can be harmful if ingested, although the quantity would have to be significant to cause damage. In fact, the relatively low toxicity level of citronella oil allows it to be used throughout the home with no negative side effects. There are two types of citronella grass, commonly called Ceylon citronella and Java citronella. Java citronella is considered superior due to the grass's higher oil yield.
Dogs
There are commercially available products containing citronella that can be used to keep a dog free of fleas, including sprays and collars. The Daily Puppy website, however, outlines a homemade citronella recipe. Place 15 drops of undiluted citronella oil in a spray bottle, filling the remainder with water. Shake well, then spray liberally on your dog's coat (spray some directly on your hands to work it into the area around the dog's head, taking care not to get directly inside his eyes, ears or mouth). For additional protection, soak cotton balls in this citronella mixture and leave them in areas of the house that are not regularly vacuumed. Carpets and rugs should also be sprayed.
