Oh dear you reminded me so much of ,my Henri,I'm having to keep rubbing my
eyes Purrs to you and your daughter, to help with the pain {{{{{Hugs }}}}Jean.P. TJ wrote in message ... I just want to thank everyone for all the kind words over the loss of Dusty. I copied and pasted every last one into a Word document and printed it out for my daughter to read. She can't believe that her Dust was so popular! She is having a really tough time with this. She doesn't want to talk about it at all. The saddest thing is that my daughter and I were on vacation for 5 days and didn't return home until late Tuesday. He died on Wednesday. I have been very in tune with Dusty since he became sick. Just before I left for the airport I hugged him and whispered in his ear, "please don't die while I'm gone". He didn't, he waited so we could have one more day. That day I had one can of cat food left. I was right near Petsmart and thought I better run in and get more but didn't. He had exactly one pill left of his hypertension meds. I gave it to him with his dinner and thought, "I better call this in for a refill", but I didn't. I had been sensing the time was coming near. I wasn't sleeping well because I got up 3 or 4 times a night to check if he was breathing. I have been doing this for 5 months. Everytime I left the house I expected to come back and find him dead. It became an obsession and very stressful for me. Everyone said I was nuts but I just knew. It's been tough. I've been sad. I miss him so much. It's hard to believe he is gone. For 12 years he was my buddy and he gave me so much affection every day. I was his mama. I miss his headbutts and the way he would rest his forehead on my chin and fall asleep. I miss his soft fur and his big loud purr. I miss him sleeping on my feet or my head every night. I miss it all and just cry everytime I think that I will never have any of that from him again. When I am ready I would like to write more. I am at a point now where I can only remember the way he looked when he finally went to the bridge. Not a good picture. I have been trying to look at all the funny pictures of him. I have picked out the one in his blue Tu-tu to go on his urn. Kody dogs urn sports a pic of him in a Metallica t-shirt. Only you folks really understand and it helps me to get it out of my system. okay, now I am crying to hard to go on Thanks again you have all been such a comfort for me. TJ |
