poor Peaches was a very unhappy cat since she had to swim the 50 yards to get back to the boat from the shore

Since you are a sailor, I will take that as tongue in cheek but if you are telling the truth, that is an amazing story! Actually, either way it's an amazing story. ;^)

Peaches was an amazing cat. She acted more like you would expect a dog to act. She used to ride around in an open jeep with me. Just whisle for her and here she came. I had her for fourteen years and lost her to cancer. She had gone down hill so far I took her to the vet to end her suffering. I held her as they gave her the shot and she just simply put her head in my hand and died. They say when you die you may have long lost relatives meet you. If I had my choice Peaches would be the first one I would want to see. She has been gone for eight years now and I still miss her.
