Saying goodbye to an old friend

[FergusonTO35]

Today, my cat Rose crossed over. She has been sick with cancer since the fall, however she didnt really start going downhill until a few weeks ago. Rose is at least 14, maybe 15 or more though as I got her almost full grown in 2007.

She was witness to so many events in my life. I was barely into second year of grad school when she came along, no telling how many papers I typed with her in my lap. Got married and bought our first house in 2011, finally got a really good job where I could actually use my education in 2013. Had our first kid in 2015, moved to a farm in Madison County in 2017.

I am really sad, but I am so thankful she was in my life for 13 great years. We have other dogs and cats who we love dearly, but Rose is truly one of a kind.

Had a cat once, Andy, who would take walks with me in the woods. Lover and a fighter. Lost him to old age. Took his last breath in my arms. Started my pet cemetery with him. He’s since been joined by four dogs. All greatly loved. As said by others, major problem with pets is they don’t live long enough. Go forward

Sorry to hear of your loss @FergusonTO35 . Always tough loosing a family member. Sounds like you gave her the best life any pet could ask for. She will live on in your memories.

It's a tough time to lose a pet, or a friend , or anything with all the loss going on right now. It's ok to hurt for Rose.
