Brutus, what can I say. We’ve been through alot in our 16 years together. I adopted you from the shelter when you were 2. I went there to adopt a kitten but came home with a 17 lb. fat cat! I just fell in love the minute I laid eyes on you. The way you rubbed on the cage, I knew I had to have you.
You gave me unconditional love, something non-pet owners will never understand, such a gentle soul. To come home to an empty house now is so lonely I can barely take the pain. But I know what i did was right for you. I know you were holding on because you didn’t want to leave me alone. But for you, i knew I had to end the suffering of old age. I couldn’t watch anymore, you had such a wonderful life, I couldn’t let the end be bad. I know you’re in a good place now and healthy again at Rainbow Bridge. I hope you forgive me for anything I did, like yell at you for howling in the middle of the night as you got older.
The void I feel hurts so bad, I didn’t know it would be like this. but I know we did the right thing. I will never forget you, Brutus Beefcake, the KING. I’ll try to stop crying, I promise. I can’t wait to see you again.
