Cover Dog: Bella Jacobs landed in the right house. She's come quite a long way from being a tick infested stray from San Francisco to a Brookside resident with her very own pool and cat. Cleo may even agree that she is indeed "Bella's Cat". Bella is an amazing hunter, and will hunt for squirrels, bunnies and bugs to no end while on a walk, but once she's home, it's all pamper and play. She is walked by Ben, The Man With The Gentle Voice two to three times per week. Bella attended our 5th Anniversary party and has accompanied her Mom, Kristen and Aunt Nicole to several of our Sniff and Be Sniffed. | |

 Nikki
Hallquist passed away in late February. She was one of those
special dogs that everyone here really connected with. We had the privilege
of seeing her several times each year, while her family was away on
vacation. As we all thought back about Nik, we each remembered
unique things about her. She ALWAYS drug her feet when we went on
walks. If you looked closely at her back feet you could see how her
toenails were worn down from her lazy style of walking. She also
had a little ridge of fur on her nose that grew in the opposite
direction. She loved her family a whole bunch, and because they
were gone and she was missing them, we frequently had to sit with her in
order for her to eat her breakfast and dinner; she didn't like to eat
alone. I particularly enjoyed that time with Nikki, she seemed so
content eating her food, and having someone to keep her company. The
whole citydog crew would like the Hallquist family to know that our
thoughts are with them._____________________________ Mac Vail passed away in February. Nan and Keith, also recently lost their other Newfie, Bear. Mac and Bear were pet sitting clients, but Nan was also a friend through Kansas City SCOOP. Mac was a great big, handsome guy who always turned heads. He was the kind of dog that made cars stop, just to ask what kind of dog he was. He was gracious to enough to indulge peoples curiosity about him. He was also patient enough to wear boxers during the Brookside St. Patty's Parade when Nan walked in it with KC SCOOP. Nan was nice enough to cut a hole in them for his tail. Yes, she had to buy the XXL. Goodbye, Mac. |

So Catty Hour was born and the first event will be held at Bulldog. Hey, we can't totally let go of the dog thing! Everyone welcome; cat, bird and even dog parents included. | ||

KC SCOOP General Meeting |
||
| Buster Needs a Home. Buster was a happy cat until Ruby, a young rambunctious Visla, came along. Now, there is a human baby on the way, and Buster is NOT happy about that either. Erica and Jim, Busters parents, are broken up about having to find him a new home, but they have come to realize that Buster just isn't happy anymore. He is a medium sized gray kitty, who is 4.5 years old. He is very affectionate, on his own terms, and loves to sleep at the foot of Jim and Erica's bed at night. He gets along well with other cats, but is not fond of dogs. Erica thinks if the dog was quiet, he might be okay, but would probably be happiest without a canine in the house. He is shy so also a home without young children would be best. For more information on Buster, call Erica or Jim at | ||
In the heart of the Crossroads Arts District. Cool and relaxed. |
