Toby 1995-2009


It's a sad day for the McNelly-Goldberg family. We said farewell to our longtime companion, Toby. He was given to me by my sweet friend Tish our senior year in high school. He was the coolest, most beautiful cat I have ever known. Toby lived a long, happy life and we will miss him dearly.


Dear Tobster,

Thank you for greeting me in the kitchen each morning with soft brushes against my legs. Thank you for keeping our feet warm at night. Thank you for letting all of the neighborhood cats know when they were getting to close to our house. Thank you for allowing us to have many laughs at your expense. Thank you for not getting too upset when we felt the need to put scrunchies on your tail to see how long it would take for you to get it off. Thank you for the funny way you walked when we put tape on your paws. Thank you for keeping Aaron company on the piano bench while he played for us. Thank you for helping me keep the kitchen floor clean by gobbling up anything you could find that was edible. Thank you for keeping an eye on Ruby and making sure she was safe while she was in her swing. Thank you for the loving way you greeted our guests. Thank you for keeping Lewis on his toes and not letting him get away with too many shenanigans when he came to visit. Thank you for helping us eat the popcorn during movie time. Thank you for the soothing purrs you shared with us all.

Thank you for your unconditional love and affection. You have given us many good memories and will always hold a special place in our hearts.

I love you buddy,
Amanda
