Piper Has a Brother

I have a brother. Mom says he’s fairy-oral. That means he’s wild.

He has his own house and bed. It’s on the front porch. Mom made him a house before he was born. His mom came to my Mom for help. She was going to have baby kittens.

Mom called her Joey. When the babies came, Mom named them too. There was Magic and Andy. There was a third kitty, but she left pretty soon for the rainbow bridge. Guess she didn’t like it here.

They lived here before I did. I know about them because Mom tells me the story. She said Magic went away too. For a long time. Then she came back. But Andy was mean to her. So Mom made Magic a house on the back deck. That way Andy would leave her alone.

Magic stayed for a long time. But she went away one day and didn’t come back.

Joey left for the rainbow bridge before Magic. She was Daisy’s friend. So she had to go ahead of Daisy to help her.

Daisy is my angel. I see her all the time. Sometimes I see Joey with her. She’s all black. Magic is gray. I never see her. Just Joey. And Daisy of course.

And I see Andy. He’s the easiest to see. That’s ‘cause he lives on the front porch. And he goes for walks with us. We only get to walk part way down the lane when he’s with us. Mom says that’s because he’s not allowed to go to the road.

I can walk all the way to the road with Mom when Andy isn’t with us. I can even cross the road to the other side. That’s where the mailbox is. I have to wear my leash when we cross the road. Mom says that makes me safer.

Andy doesn’t have a leash. Maybe that’s why he’s not allowed down by the road.

Sometimes I like that he walks with us. Sometimes he’s just a pest and I don’t like him around. Guess that’s the way it is with brothers.
