Tiffin had been with my family long before I was even born. she was a part of my life. Before I couldn’t have imagined life without her. well now I know and numb is the only word to describe it. A piece of me missing, As I write this, it has only been about an hour since she was put to sleep. It was so hard, seeing her lying on that table and watching her slip away as the vet injected her. She died with her eyes open and her tongue poking out. I forced myself not to cry. There was a lump in my throat and my head was spinning but somehow I held back the tears.
When I got home I made a mental note of all the reasons why I loved her so much. So that’s why I posted this on here.
*I loved how she loved sunbathing in the garden.
*I loved the way She licked the jelly
of her food and usually left the rest.
*I loved the way she never left you alone
till she got what she wanted.
*I loved how she always got on
with other pets, even hamsters.
*I loved how she had her own special places around the house, on a certain chair, on the end of everybody’s bed, under the table in the living room, etc…
*I loved how she would purr and rub herself around your legs if you had something she wanted (e.g: chicken)
*I loved the way she loved being
tickled under her chin.
*I loved the way she knew
where her food was kept.
*I loved the way she purred
when she ate and slept and
when I stroked her.
*I loved how she would scratch
on my bedroom door in the mornings
because she wanted to sleep
on the end of my bed.
*I loved the way she always settled so easily even after we moved house half a dozen times.
*I loved The way she loved exploring.
*I loved the way she rubbed
her nose against you when she was happy.
*I loved how she managed to chase cats out of our garden, even when she was to old to Jump up on the fence.
I loved her.
I could keep writing about her forever but they probably wouldn’t post it.
Tiffin had to be put down because she had an infection in her tooth and part of her face was swollen, and she was too old to have an operation. But this way was best for her because otherwise she would of died in pain. I think she had a long happy life though, and I will never ever forget her.
