Yesterday we had to say good bye to Sweet Pea--it was the hardest thing I've ever had to do. Last Thursday he was fine, started to get sick Friday evening and by early Thursday morning, we knew we had to let him go. As hard as this is, I wouldn't trade my time with him for anything. He was our family, our friend. There are so many things about him I will miss and my heart breaks everytime I go into a room and he isn't there to greet me. He came to me on July 5, 2003 when he was one day old. I have always done anything for him and loved him with all my heart. He knew he was well-loved and my husband and I got to be with him until the very end. It may take me a while before I can be back online full-time while I try to deal with losing him. Although it was a shock and he was still young, I don't think I could have ever been prepared for this.
Bless your heart! I'm so sorry of Sweet Pea's passing.... they really are our family!! I know its hard, but you gave an abundance of unconditional love & care to him- for he will always be grateful! Always remember the good times and he's still with you in spirit!

I am sending prayers your way. It is so difficult loosing a best friend. Our "first child"
ReplyDeletewas our puppy named Kayleigh. She was going on 19 years old when we lost her. I can still cry just thinking about her. Your Sweet Pea had a great life in a loving home. How very lucky all of your were to have each other.....God Bless You, Cindi
Cindy, I am so sorry about Sweetpea. I enjoyed all your stories about beautiful Sweetpea. Our pets are such a blessing and I know you will miss him so much. I don't think Sweetpea could have found a better life than the one you gave him.
ReplyDeleteoh so sorry to hear about Sweetpea,you are in our thoughts
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about your poor kitty. I had to face the awful decision last year to have my cat Caesar put to sleep. It was the best thing for him as he was so ill, but it's heartbreaking all the same. They're so much fun, such distinct personalities in their own right.

I wanted to say Thanks to everyone who emailed me and left messages about Sweet Pea. It means a lot to me that you took the time to email/comment about him. Its been a month Thursday, and I still can't really believe he's gone.
