    Yeah, especially as she was the second of our pets we’ve lost in just 7 months
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    They're not pets though, they're part of the family and you have to be able to grieve... You've really had a run of hideousness, I really hope this is the last hideous thing you face...
    Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

    We adopted her as a tiny black ball of fluff that fitted into Si’s hand when Jess was just a baby. She was feisty and grumpy but, yeah she was family. And, yeah I know we’re grieving. Tbh, I don’t think I’d finished grieving for Luna so it’s all too much for me today

    I'm not surprised. You take all the time you need and heal little by little...

    Mum had her foot surgery today - they found 2 neuroma’s on her foot. She’s ok but sore ..... and has to wear an ugly boot for six weeks!

    I realised today that this is the first time in my entire life I’ve not had a cat. It’s definitely weird

    If that boot is the only thing and after wearing it there is no more problem its worth it. Good news of getting through the surgery ok.

    That must be weird yes. It is a great loss.

    Glad the surgery went ok. Those boots are horrible! But you can sparkle them up with glitter and sparkly stickers!
