Pets and Military Kids

Do you have a pet? I have a pet cat named Licorice. She has been with me ever since I was four. She's always by my side when I'm sick. When my dad is deployed she helps me. I've had my cat longer than my sister! When my dad was deployed Licky would jump up on my bed, tunnel under the covers and lick my toes. Whenever I was sick with the flu in bed she would jump up and sit at the edge or go under the covers. Licky is an awesome, brilliant and beautiful cat. I love her.
Some people think you have to give your pets away when you move but that's not true! We got Licky in Hawaii and then we all visited my Grandma and Grandpa in Oklahoma. When we moved back to Hawaii Licorice came with us. When we moved to Georgia Licorice came here too. I can't imagine my life without Licorice. She's the friend I never have to leave behind.
