Clarissa has graciously allowed me to take over her blog for the day. I (and Clarissa & Co.) want to thank all of our friends in the blogosphere for your kind words regarding Fred's passing. If you've ever loved an animal, you know how hard it is when they are no long with you. Your words meant so much to us.
I pick up Fred's ashes late yesterday. Quite frankly, I was surprised that they were returned so quickly. Fred has taken his place of honor along side his siblings who went before him. The vet's office include a heart shape cast of Fred's paw print. This is the first time I've receive a paw print of one of my fur babies.
There are things I miss about Fred. He was always on the breakfast bar or the kitchen counter when I would get up in the morning. He would "yell" at me, demanding to be fed. When I would watch t.v. in the evening, Fred's spot would be on my right. He would curl up around my hand while I rubbed his belly. Soon he would be asleep. Those are the things I will miss about him.
Fred's physical presence will be missed in our house, but his spirit and his memory will live on in my heart.
Clarissa's mom,
Malinda
I remember being comforted when I brought Praline's ashes home. Sending hugs.

ReplyDeleteIt's so hard when they are gone. Our memories are sweet and bitter sweet sometimes from missing them so much. Purrs and hugs and many of them. xoxo
