My last day (March 11, 2017) and my last post at ATCAD. It's fitting that it's on Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day. From now on if I post I will be joining my brother Whiskers @
The Last Meow. Me and him were really close so I asked Mommy to redo the header and let me join him there. He went to the Rainbow Bridge in March 9, 2007 during the height of the Petfood Recall.
The night before Mom and Dad noticed my jaw was bleeding, it had happened before so the Mom wasn't too worried, but this time it meant the end. Daddy had to work that Saturday so Mommy made arrangements to take me into the vet early that morning (they are only open until noon on Saturdays). They knew what Mommy didn't and my sweet Vet Tech came in on her day off to tell me Goodbye. Mommy couldn't get Daddy on the phone and she had promised we would go sit in the Hummingbird Cottage after the vet visit so she wasn't ready to let me go. They sent me home with her and me and Mommy went down to the Hummingbird Cottage to spend my last hours here.
It was sort of windy so I stayed in the carrier but I could see the birds and the flowers. Once Daddy got home we went back to the vet and she helped me go to the Rainbow Bridge. Whiskers and Charybdis and all the other cats and dogs who have gone before were there waiting for me. There were even horses there.
She put me in this pretty bag for Mommy to carry me home, it even had a beautiful flower on it.
Mommy knew how much I enjoyed sitting in the Hummingbird Cottage so they put me close to it.
And they found a
Banana Shrub to go on top of my resting place. It is a type of Magnolia and the flowers smell like bananas.
The Banana Shrub is doing very well, which makes Mommy happy. She knows I am looking after it. ~Socks, saying goodby to ATCAD
PeeS: We here at ATCAD want to thank Deb Barnes of
Zee and Zoey’s Cat Chronicles, author of
Purr Prints of the Heart and founder of Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day, for starting this special day to remember the pets who have so greatly enriched our lives. Mommy made a tribute for Charybdis that you can see
