Ok, so I need to say some things...
So, you may have seen my FB comment about a memorial rock being stolen.
I need to talk about this a bit.
See, Sammie was my cat. She loved being close to me and would even get on m_cobweb's pillow next to me as I went to sleep. I still remember the feel of her paws on my chest as she would stand on me as I relaxed in bed.
I was her human. I couldn't really get mad at her and she did do things to that I should have gotten mad about. Typically annoying Celeste.
Anyway, Sammie was very food focused. She spent a lot of time reaching up onto our plates.. and we gave her a fair amount of food off our plates.
That was what made it tragic when she developed osteosarcoma in her jaw. It was welding her jaw shut and we could hear the grinding as she opened her mouth to chew. That was a terrible day, making the decision to stop her suffering and saying good bye.
Then our vet did a really nice thing and ordered us a Memorial stone, just commemorating that she lived. At our last place I put it at our back door but I wasn't happy with that, I didn't see the stone, I didn't feel like I appreciated it enough. So when we moved to the new place, I decided to put it by our front door. It was great, I would come home after a hard day and see the stone there and think of all the happiness Sammie brought me. It just reminded me of what I think was important, what I share with m_cobweb and how it feels to be that close to an animal.
To come home tomorrow and not see it, then find out that it had been stolen still confounds me. I'm not certain what I think of humanity right now but I am going to replace the stone. It's too important to me.
