Missing my boy

[Shoegal0305]

I don't know why I'm posting ....... but I'm watching something on the telly about Bonfire Night.......

I had my old boy PTS in February, he was 17, broke my heart to do it but know it was the right thing to do. Watching this programme instantly took me back to my favourite time of year, Autumn. Then it hit me that this is the first time in 17 years my old boy not going to be here! I've coped since February, quite smugly, missed him loads but coped. I'm now a bit of a mess feeling really upset!

Keep looking out at the wall where he used to parade up and down. Still have my old girl who is 18!!! Love her to bits.

Ah. Bless your old boy. They have such a special place in our hearts. What a lucky boy to have been so loved for so long. My old girl was 18 when we had to have her pts last summer. I still miss her and her crazy senile ways. We have two new (ish) cats now who I love to bits, but you never forget the ones that came before.

Thanks Posie it just came over me ......

It comes in waves, doesn't it. Sorry you're feeling low. They're with us in our hearts and we have the lovely memories of them. I keep seeing my 20 year old, who was PTS 3 weeks ago, in various places, and it makes me feel very sad. We do our best for them.

It's all those 'first' times without them isn't it - after 17 years he will have become a part of every annual event and it's a shock to realise that's now changed :-( Sorry you are feeling low.
