Madison

On the arrival of his brother:
The Backdrop -

Two weeks after Benjamin's arrival, Madison, our 8 year old Maine Coon finally succumbed (at home  to kidney failure.  We had him cremated, and his ashes scattered across a mountainside.  A few weeks later, we got a card with a picture of the mountainside, which we posted in the kitchen.

Joshua says:  So,  where is Benjamin going to live?  Mom:  Well,  I'm kinda attached to him - I thought he'd live here with us - that be ok with you?.  Joshua: Not really.   Silence    Joshua:  May be he could live with Abigail - I think Jazzy wants a little brother
Mom:  Oh, it's going to be great to be a big brother - you can teach him to do all sorts of things like eat, run, play ball.....  Joshus:  Well, if Abigail doesn't want him may be he can go live where Madison lives.
