Mile 3 & 10 Dedication: Cheshire the Cat

Cheshire the cat is so special that he has two miles dedicated in his memory!  Pat Dresner, Cheshire's owner, writes: "In memory of Cheshire, the world's best cat. This will in no way offend our current cat, Grisabella, who would prefer that people not like her anyway. If we can buy a mile, I would like mile #2 because that is about where I would quit. : ) Good luck Erik!!!"  Mile 2 was taken, so I'm giving Mile 3 to Cheshire.  Mike Flanagan, Kate's brother, also wanted to dedicate Mile 10 in Cheshire's memory.

Kate and Mike spent a lot of time at the Dresner family household, and remember Cheshire from when he was a small kitten.  He grew up into quite a handsome and dignified cat who had a fondness for doughnuts (although preferred to only take one bite out of each doughnut!).  He also preferred cat treats to be placed at his feet and not tossed for him to chase.  

Thank you to Pat, Howard, and Ethan Dresner for sponsoring Mile 3, and to Mike Flanagan for sponsoring Mile 10, all in Cheshire's memory.  He was indeed a great cat.
