I have a hole in my heart

That is the only way I can explain it. I have a hole in my heart and an emptiness in my soul.

As soon as you adopt a living being you are responsible for its life. Food,water,care, love ....that is on your shoulders.

You don't decide that you un-adopt a pet just because it doesn't live to your expectations....

14 years ago, I got a request to adopt a kitten and I turned it down. I felt I had good reasons, we already had 4 cats...That was on a Saturday, 2 days later, the woman who adopted him called and said I don't want him, he's too needy, he wants too much attention.

So after work  on that same Monday we drove all the way to St-Eustache and got that unwanted kitty.

We named him Billy Bob (Bob for short) and the rest is history....

Bob loved to be outside, even in the snow.

                                          Bob with his special lady friend Peanut (Pinotte)

                                          He didn't find this hat too amusing.....

He loved to explore new places, like new furniture

                                          He too, loved glassware....

So after 14 glorious years, we had to send Bob back to his maker....He was feeling poorly and wasn't enjoying life as much. I am sure that mice and chipmunks in the neighborhood are celebrating because he was quite the hunter!

                               You will be dearly missed, my dear Bob. Who will bite my nose at night and snuggle real tight? You are an excellent cat, fly free and say hi to Pinotte (Peanut)



RIP Bob 2001-2015

Quite a week

Thank you to all who sent us condolences.

For us loosing a cat is just as bad as loosing a family member. I know it sounds crazy to some but it is the way it is.

I am so grateful that we were on vacation while we were going throught all those emotions.

And people at my work wouldn't understand. People who don't have pets and don't like pets just don't know.

At my work place if you don't have kids you're weird, and if you don't go to church every Sunday you might as well be Satan.

We decided that since Pinotte (Peanut) love dthe yard and flowers so much we would dig a hole and bury her in the yard.

It was probably the grief thinking on our behalf....It took us most of the week to dig the hole because the ground is full of rocks and clay.

Finally we put Pinotte in the ground yesterday and we have been able to resume life slowly.
