Half Pint died of FIP on May 23rd 2007
We found you as a stray and took you in and you were so grateful, you gave us so much love and companionship, you would always talk to us both vocally and with your eyes, when I dropped you off at the vets office because you had trouble breathing and you were placed in the oxygen cage you kept meowing at me as if asking mommy where are we? don’t leave me here! you just kept meowing with what little strength you had, my heart sunk, I am crying as I write this….I miss you so much! I came back to visit you the next day at the vets and you looked so happy to see me, the vet said he thought you would pull through, my heart was over joyed! I held you for a long time and told you that you would be coming home soon once you got well, and you looked at me with those big little eyes as if to say… I hope so mommy, then the nurse came in and said you had to go back to your oxygen I kissed your little head and hugged you gently I watched as the nurse led you to the back room, I saw you looking back at me over her shoulder with your sad
“stay with me mommy” eyes, then the door closed. I had no idea you would die that night and that I would never see you again. My heart still aches for you, I miss us going night nights together in my bed, I miss hearing your purring while you layed next to me every night. I miss waking up in the morning to your playful paws on my nose and face. When I went to the vets the next day to make your arrangements they gave me back your stuffed teddy bear you always played with and slept with, I don’t know why but I put my nose to that stinky ole bear and I smelled your scent… still on the bear, I can still smell you my sweet little half pint! I figure if I can no longer hug you then at least I can hug your Teddy Bear and smell your scent.
Oh how I miss you little half pint!! But I know that now you are with God, and when I pray to God every night I ask him to tell you that I love and miss you and that I tried to do the best for you and give you the best care and love that I could.
