Right at this time, I’m dealing with the tragic, sudden and unexpected death of my beautiful 7 year old cat, Abby Rose. It’s been 2 weeks, and I still can’t function with every day life. It’s like I’m in a fog. Life seems so unreal, and I keep thinking that maybe I’ll wake up from a coma, and everything will be okay with her. But it’s not.
I’ve been a pet mama for over 40 years, and I have gone through sudden pet loss before. But this time, ... this time, is just so, so different. Abby and I were especially close. She was truly my baby. I lost her so suddenly, not ever realizing that she would never understand again how very much I love her.
So please, pet owners need to understand that we can lose our precious fur babies at any moment. Tomorrow is not a given. Don’t let another moment go by. Go love your babies. Hold them tight, and talk lovingly to them. Every day, every night, and into the night. Nothing else matters.
I would give anything to hear my little girl ringing her little bells again, to let me know she wants her treats. I will never hear that again. And it hurts SO much.
Rest In Peace Baby. Mama will miss you forever.
