Bug
~DEC 23 2013
My friend<\/p><\/div>\n

I believe cats to be spirits come to earth. A cat, I am sure, could walk on a cloud without coming through.<\/strong>

I am not sure what to say about losing a friend. A few minutes ago \u00a0I carried a friend to my Jeep to take her to go see the doc. She died in my arms. Her heart must have quit.<\/p>\n

As I held her I listened and watched the last gasps as she left this planet. I \u00a0prayed that God take care of her and thanked him for easing her pain.<\/p>\n

Bug was one of my cats. The best mouser in the house. The only cat I had ever met that was agoraphobic. She was a very good friend.<\/p>\n

I have a hard time with the death of animals but seem to handle the death of humans with grace and the right amount of reverence. \u00a0 Those \u00a0that are close to your animals \u00a0would understand.<\/p>\n

I wanted to write something about my friend, I love her very much and will miss her. \u00a0Bug you were a great cat.<\/p>\n

Take Care Rod<\/p>\n
