Personal Sadness
I had to put my kitty to sleep yesterday. Heart failure. Poor girl. In some respects, it's great that we can make this decision for them, but it doesn't make it hurt any less. But she was almost 15, I loved her to bits, and she lived the life of a queen. I think it's the sudden-ness that's so tough: one day your pet is with you, the next she's not. Tears catch me off guard, ya know?
This isn't the first cat I've had to say goodbye to, and it'll be the second I'll bury in my backyard, but it's still mighty heartbreaking, and it'll be that way for a while. The plan is to plant milkweed over her grave, to attract monarch butterflies. Won't that be nice?
Not sure how soon it's gonna be till I get another one; I'm not one to turn around and replace a pet in a second. I need time to grieve.
That's all.
