Let me share a little bit of my life with you and why I missed Fridays post...
my babies- Wolverine and Fluffy
If any of you have read my "about page" you know that besides my two pupperz I also had a 20 year young kitty, unfortunately the last 6 months have been tough on his health and this last week he started to decline a lot. With out going in to too much detail I will just say that he had too many issues going on that his tiny little self couldn't handle it anymore and it was too much that it couldn't all be treated without making him extremely miserable, more than he already was...so we as a family had to make a VERY difficult decision to take his pain away.
It was one of the hardest things to do.
Saturday morning we had a home euthanasia done, the vet came to our home and he passed painlessly in my arms, my little boy will remain for eternity in my heart.
I will cling to memories and pictures of him and his brother forever he has been with us for almost all of my life (20 out of 26 years) and it was very heartbreaking to let go and it still is very hard... Cooking in the kitchen without him at my feet waiting for some and sitting around the corner watching me, joining me for yoga always loving to sit under me trying to get his "zen" on too 😉
He will now join his biological brother that passed 2 years 1 month and 3 days earlier than him at a very beautiful pet cemetery where our family dog was buried long ago when I was very young.
They have stones that are right next to each other.
I hold the faith in my heart that he ok and in a better place full of joy and love with no pain ...I like to believe that he is reunited with his other half, his brother, and I will see them again someday but for now we had to say TTFN (ta-ta-for now) to him and we will meet again in heaven someday <3 and I strongly feel that he knows what I wrote here so to my little boys I love you both with all of my heart eternally and I miss you every second of every day and I carry you in my heart every single day, as well as our family dog and everyone else up there in peace, heaven!
Thank you all for letting me share my life with you.
I hope everyone has a beautiful day!

I am so sorry for your loss, Michele! I definitely no how painful it is to lose an animal. I grew up with dogs, and it was the hardest thing to watch my one dog die and have the other one put to sleep. Hopefully knowing that your cat is not in pain anymore will help ease the loss just a tiny bit. Thanks for sharing the pictures of your beautiful cat!

I am so sorry for your loss Michele 🙁 It's devastating to when you have to say goodbye to a beloved part of your family. I still miss our family cat and dog too 🙁 My thoughts are with you during this sorrowful time.

Yes it is extremely difficult to say goodbye, I like to believe its TTFN 😉 it helps a little bit to believe that we will see each other again someday, thank you so much for your kindness Kelly, it means a lot.
Annie @Maebells
My heart breaks for you! Our "fur family" is just as important as our real family. They love us unconditionally, and without question. It is a special, and unique bond that you can only understand if you are an animal lover. Sending good thoughts your way!

I agree 100 percent that they are just as important! Actually I agree with all of your words... Thank you very much Annie it means so very much!!!
Dannii @ Hungry Healthy Happy
So sorry for your loss 🙁
I am crying reading this as I can't imagine what it would be like to lose one of my cats - they are everything to me.

Thank you so much Dannii, it is very hard as my kitties were everything to me as well.
Kelly @ Trial and Eater
My heart is breaking for you right now, Michele. The day I had to put my 17-year old kitty to sleep was one of the hardest days of my life. I had started to think she was invincible and going to live forever, especially since she lived 12 of her years as a 3-legged cat after a snake bite! I'm so sorry for your loss, I hope you and your other babies are good comfort for each other right now.

Thank you Kelly, I think it's pretty easy for us to think they will be with us forever :-/ it's hard to accept that, that is not reality.
