Johnny and June

by Jean Lockwood

Yesterday we went to pick out a replacement lizard. I think it is a girl, but we can’t tell for sure…(not up on lizard sexuality). Danny said I could name it, so I named it June Carter Cash, figuring maybe Johnny wouldn’t be so lonely now.
One of the boys decided to pick our cat, Jewel, up to show her the lizards. Now she won’t leave them alone. She sits by the aquarium watching for any little movement. There are also crickets crawling around in there, so she is really entertained.
Enough about us.
Last night I was talking to my mom, and she told me that my Aunt and Uncle’s cat had gotten hit by a car. When Uncle Fred called Aunt Lynn at work to tell her, it was hard, because they really loved that cat. When Lynn got home from work, they got a box ready for the cat. They even had the cat’s name on the top of the box. Then they went out and had a little funeral, buried the cat, and placed a marker on the grave.
A little while went by, and they were in thier house, still crying about the cat- when their cat walked in!
The cat they buried was NOT their cat, but someone else’s.
How happy, and how sad. They have their cat, and someone else’s cat has a very nice grave with a beautiful casket.
