Cat
I said good-bye to my best friend today.
There was you see not another friend like her.
I know that she suffers no longer--her pain is over
but my pain has just begun.
I can remember that only a short time ago
she could wash my tears away with her funny little antics
and the love in her eyes.
The bond we had together was so incredibly special.
You see my best friend is gone.
I said good-bye to my best friend today.
It is hard to understand all of the emotions that I am feeling
and the great loss I am experiencing...
My little Ashley will always remain in my heart
and I will remember her in the fondest way
appreciative of our time together.
I miss her already.
I said good-bye to my best friend today
and she was my little cat.
Ashley and her littermate on this site Scooter Pie both died
within two months of eachother from FIP.
They were my very first cats
my very first "rescues" as a Freshman in college in Ashland Oregon.
They lived seven and a half years as indoor cats only.
Apparently genetically predisposed to the disease
there was not a thing I could do to save them.
Years later I am inspired to go to my journal
and submit what I had written the day
each of the siblings passed.
I am now "thirty-something"
and
the President of Meow Mercer Island Eastside Orphans and Waifs--
a nonprofit no kill cat and dog rescue group in the greater Seattle area.
God Bless the Animals
