Meet Spook. Spook is the proud owner of Jane Becker, resident at Juniper Village at Brookline Independent Living. Appearing on her porch only two weeks after her long-time companion, Sam, a beautiful Maine Coon cat had passed, Spook was welcomed with open arms. Jane friends told her that Sam must have sent Spook to her. Having lived alone since the passing of her spouse in 2000, Jane welcomes pets into her life, as she has always been an "animal lover." This characteristic dates back to when Jane was young, as she had cats, dogs, and horses as a child. Jane reports that her spouse also enjoyed animals and happily shared that story of when her three children were young her oldest daughter brought home a cat. The direction from Jane's husband at that moment was to put the cat in the garage and that he would find a home for the cat the next morning. The stray cat wanted none of that and walked over to Jane's husband, curled up on his shoulder and fell asleep. That was the beginning of a long history of being proud cat owners.
When asked if Spook sleeps with her, Jane replied, "I sleep with him." Although Jane is unsure of the exact age of Spook, her daughter in law, who is a veterinarian, guesses Spook is now about five years old. Not quite out of his "teenage years," Jane shares that Spook continues to enjoy jumping on furniture and pushing items off the counter. Jane feels fortunate to have found Juniper Village as a pet-friendly community, as she would not have moved anywhere without him.
