That’s great, I have 4 rescue cats, I swore I would never get another after we lost our beloved cat.
And I know it will be 4 more heart breaks, but the love does out weigh the grief.
I accidently ran over my favorite cat this past weekend. She would sit by the side of the garage and wait for me to come home. When I would park she would run to meet me. This time though she ran to meet me as I was backing up to the barn. I just don’t understands why she did that. All I could was pick her up and cry.
I guess it’s my fault that I give my dogs and cats love and attention when I get home everyday and she just couldn’t wait for her share on that day...
There’s an old saying, which I believe really does apply to our four footed friends...
“Tis better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all.” - Alfred Lord Tennyson
I have had at least one dog as long as I can remember breathing... as few as one, as many as four at once.
I never forget or have forgotten any of their faces or lives, or the things they did that made them unique.
Also had a Burmese cat for 17 years. She was not a friendly critter, but she loved me for sure.
Their forevers aren’t as long as ours, and it reminds us that every day IS unique, and not to be taken for granted.
Capt_Hank, I am sorry for your loss. It’s an awful thing to go through.
Yes it does. The wife and I have seven cats. All rescued from outside or from shelters.
