I have always loved animals but my boyfriend Dave didn’t care for them much. I think it is because he never really had pets when he was growing up. My sister Rita’s cat had kittens and I fell in love with you. So for Dave’s birthday my sister gave him you. Knowing he could not refuse a gift. Ha! He named you Misty. And it didn’t take long before we all loved you.
Dave and I were married a month later on August 16th. We had a happy little family with Minnie and our little fur ball Misty. Minnie excepted you as her own and took very good care of you. She even let you nurse on her even though she had nothing to give you. She would just lay there and cry. Every night when Dave would come home he would play ball with you. You loved super balls. You would catch them in mid air and bring it back to him. And then after play time was over he would share a pudding pop with you. You loved those things.
We had our baby girls Danielle and Julie. And the six of us spent alot of happy times together. We lost Minnie to cancer in 1989 and I was so upset that I didn”t even think about how you were feeling. For over a month you walked around the house and would just let out these horrible crys. And then it dawned on me that you were also grieving the loss of your beloved companion. It really broke my heart to see you in as much pain as I. But together we all made it through. Until August 14 1999 we had to go through it all over again. Your little kidneys just couldn’t hold up any longer. I knew you were sick for awhile but just couldn’t bare taking you to the vet for him to tell me you were going to die. I thought if I could just keep you home you would be ok. But you just got worse. And again off to the vets we go for him to take another one of my pets away from me. We also have you cremated.
I told Dave and the girls when it is my turn to go I want the same thing and to put all of us together. I hope with all my heart that you had a very happy 19 years. I know we all have enjoyed life with you. And we all miss you with all our hearts. I know that you and Minnie are together once again. Until we meet again please now we love you and see you at the “Bridge”.
All our love Missy girl!
