Saying Good Bye

It is never, ever easy...

 

 

and we have had to say good bye to many of our pets...

 

 

all of them passed from old age and illness....

It was hard....

 

watching them decline and knowing that the end was near...

but last night, we watched as the end came fast and furious for our sweet kitty, Memow.

She was not sick one day and very sick the next and last night...

we had to make that dreaded decision, the one you know in your head is right but the one that your heart screams no.

Memow just showed up one day and never left.  I didn't even want to keep her because...

I am not a cat person!  Heh!

However, she insisted and how could I say no?  She wanted to stay in a house with (at the time), 4 kids and 4 dogs!  I thought she was crazy but she knew exactly what she was doing!

Not only did she want to stay but she chose the one person in the house who is NOT a cat person to attach herself to!

Told ya she knew what she was doing.  That little kitty with the broken tail quickly turned me into a cat person won me over as well as the dogs!  She would accompany us on our walks and thought nothing of hitting the dogs up for a quick nuzzle if she needed one.

She loved Caleb's home school and would plant herself right on top of whatever we happen to be trying to study, leaving a trail of cat hair behind.

Memow, you were so loved and are so missed.

Our home and our naps just won't be the same without you.

 

 I promise to fill in the details of the job and what it will mean for our family - soon!
