Fran

My best buddy Fran.
Fran entered my life in 1995; at the time I named her Tabitha. I would call her Tabitha and I would be ignored time and time again. After about a month of being 'dissed' by this sassy calico, I looked at her and said, "you look more like a Fran." She immediately looked up at me, as if to say, "well its about time you got my name right, lady!" And the rest is history. Fran just turned 14 years old on November 19th of this year. (I also have two other 'kids', Abby, a grey tortise shell calico, and Kirby, an all too intelligent part Burmese.)
