The cute couple below have been together all of their lives and sadly, their owner passed away. They are petite gentle and affectionate and check on each other a lot with soft head butts, jewel and Tony are about ten years old, but in perfect health. They are quiet but love affec tion. Tony even likes bejjyrubs and will let you pet him for as long as you like. I Miss Amy has also Been Here Too Long, probably due to her age-10 years young with lots of life and love to give. She is a fluffy marshmallow of a girl, and she loves to be lazy. Want to snuggle on the couch and catch something on Netflix? She’s your girl. She adores attention and loves to be in your lap. She’s got a long, pretty aubum/black coat and demure man ners.
