- The image displays an open scrapbook with a black background. The left page shows four close-up photographs of a cat with green eyes and tabby fur. These photos are interspersed with broad, expressive red brushstrokes across the page. On the right page, handwritten text covers most of the space, interspersed with red brushstrokes and a couple of sketched eyes at the bottom. Above the scrapbook, tabs labeled with words like "FORGIVENESS" and "TENDER" are visible, hinting at sections within the book. The left edge of the scrapbook has a blue strip of tape.

For all the time of his life with us till these last months, Sparky made the most intense, lasting eye contact of ANYONE in my experience. Not my Mom, Dad, Kelly no one ever looked at me as lovingly & intensely as Sparky. Betsy the chow would be 2nd on the list.
