The famous Dr. Seuss quote that I added to her picture is one of my favorites, yet in all honesty I'm just not there yet. I still can't accept that she's gone and don't think I will for a very long time.
About a month ago I entered a contest by two of my favorite authors, Joyce and Jim Lavene, to name the pet characters in their upcoming book A Dickens of a Murder. Not only was Truffles chosen as the tortie in the book, her character is on the cover that was just revealed this week, and I've been told that she's very special to the story as well. As a Christmas and Dickens fanatic, I just can't even begin to express how special this book is going to be to me.
A Dickens of a Murder will be released on November 3rd, but you can pre-order today!

What a wonderful tribute to Truffles to have her immortalized in this way. We did not know this was National Pet Memorial Day, or Mom would have featured one of our angels. We know Truffles will remain in your heart always no matter how much time passes. Thanks for always being part of our blog hop.

THAT was a wonderful quote, and our mommy needed to hear it today because of her daddy and all. Purrs to you on this memorial day!
Wonderful quote from Dr Seuss. It is easy to agree with it, but hard to follow when you are sad.
How pawsome that Truffles will not only be in the book...but will adorn the cover! What a great way to memorialize her. Purrs.....
I totally understand about the quote, Melissa. I love, Love, LOVE Truffles being chosen for the tortie in A Dickens of a Murder (and love the cover)...can't wait to read it!
How beautiful to have a tribute like that for such a wonderful part of your family. Truffles will never be forgotten but remembered for the love she gave everyone. God Bless
It's a beautiful tribute to Truffles. The book sounds very interesting!
That is such a special way to remember Angel Truffles.
It is a wonderful wise quote from Dr Suess, but even after more than 2 years I am not there yet either. Closer I suppose but definitely no where near ready yet.
Excellent quote and beautiful picture.
Such a great quote. We wish with all of our hearts that Truffles did not have to go, but then there would never be you, Mudpie. We have to look for the good in all and appreciate what was... Purrs from Deb and the Zee/Zoey kitties
It takes a long time and there's no hurry. We all grieve in our own way. It will be two years since I lost Pip (our Yorkie who started the blog) in October and I still have my moments where I miss him so much and just can't believe he is gone.
Whoa! Concats to Angel Truffles! That’s a BIG deal!
A beautiful remembrance post to Truffle and quote. We smile, but our hearts cry forever. Soft Pawkisses <3

Her love is in your heart and always will be, and the pain will subside; will pray for you! Blessings!

What a wonderful tribute to your beloved Truffles. Knowing the story behind the Lavene's tortie in A Dicken's of a Murder will make reading the book a special experience. Our sweet pets leave paw prints on our hearts that never disappear.
What a nice way to honor Truffles!
