Farewell to Mrs. Peel

Mrs. Peel, 1994-2011

Mrs. Peel walked into my life in 1994 while I was shooting a commercial in a diner. She strolled onto the set and decided to adopt herself a human. She made her final exit early this morning while stretched out in bed with her human and her partner-in-crime, Steed the Maltese.

Mrs. Peel, much like her namesake from "The Avengers" TV series was a beautiful female who wore a 'catsuit' and got both into and out-of a lot of trouble in her life. And seemed to enjoy ever minute! She was a world-class tree climber, and a closet stalker of chipmunks and birds (a habit NOT approved of by her human). Happily, as the years went by she adopted bird-watching as a hobby, and chipper-chasing became more work than it was worth.

Both smart and independent, she lived an excellent life and will be greatly missed.
