Thanksgiving 2021
I started the day with joyful and thankful remembrance of Auggie … photo is from last Thanksgiving. Thoughts also of all times spent with Bear, Bob, Karl, Gus and Zack … they all came to mind and I enjoyed looking at photos of all of them and remembering their antics and the beautiful times we shared.
When a pet dies, that special place in our hearts feels so empty. But we realize, as time passes, that animals have a way of teaching us about loving, about loyalty, friendship, and joy.
And whatever we’ve shared in their presence can never really be lost.

From Irving Townsend … these words have helped me when I’ve been in that place of “how/when”…
Another cat? Perhaps. For love there is also a season; its seeds must be resown. But a family cat is not replaceable like a wornout coat or a set of tires. Each new kitten becomes its own cat, and none is repeated. I am four cats old, measuring out my life in friends that have succeeded, but not replaced one another.
And so, this Thanksgiving I remember all that I shared in the presence of Auggie, Bear, Bob, Karl, Gus and Zack … and also embrace a new season of Emmett and Oscar.
We had a lovely day together!

We never forget our furbabies who have passed, but remember them with love and smiles. They bring us such joy and ask for so little.
We have lost two dogs and two cats but their memories are still with us and treasured.
