[QUOTE=Mr Bus Guy] **Annie** beat me to it. Whenever I read of a cat moving on, I re-read that and get misty. **Lib** , one of the stupid quirky things I do when a DoperCat passes on, is I ask for a picture. My screensaver rotates all the pictures in my screensaver file, and there are a good number of DoperCats memorialized there. Does Pretty Black Girl have a pic you can post? I’d be honored. My sympathy. [/QUOTE] [![](https://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii262/liberalpb/PrettyBlackGirl.jpg) ](https://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii262/liberalpb/PrettyBlackGirl.jpg) Thanks, **Mr Bus Guy**. The honor is ours. ---

I’m blocked from Photobucket at work, but I’m home now and got to see her. She was a beautiful girl and you paid her tribute. She’s here, in my hard drive now.
