This will be the 3rd week since I had to euthanize my cat Roxy. I've been keeping busy but for some reason when I got up this morning I was terribly sad and missed her a lot. I had received an envelope from a pet loss centre last week and hadn't opened it yet so I thought that might help. It was very sad to go through it, it brought back all of those feelings. I want to feel them though because I don't want to forget my cat. It suggests putting there tags on your key chain so I think I will do that. I'm still trying to locate a good picture of Roxy so I can have a nice one framed.......
I did finally have a dream about her. In the dream she was sitting on the couch behind me with her paw on my shoulder as she would do every night when she was alive. I took peace with this dream because I felt it showed she had no hard feelings against me.....

I don't think your baby has anything but love for you. She understands. You took care of her and loved her. I know how hard it is. It has been twelve weeks since I saw my baby Boo Boo Kitty. I wish I could tell you when it gets better. Remenber the good times you had with your baby, and that she knew you loved her.

Lori,I'm so sorry that you lost your Roxy.It's hard bearing the pain of losing a beloved pet and this time of year it's even tougher.I understand your pain because I am feeling the same way you are.I lost my kitty Sox almost 2 months ago and I wish I could say that time makes it better but in truth it really doesn't.I don't think this pain ever really goes away completely you just get used to it because you don't have any other choice but to go on.I like your idea of putting their vet tag on your key chain,I think I will do that with Sox's tag.He had just gotten a new one like 2 weeks before he passed away because he had gotten all of his shots updated.Right now it is under a magnet on my refrigerator and I was wondering what I was going to do with it.Thank you for the idea.Why don't you try to find some small way of remembering your furbaby for the holidays? Perhaps you could put an ornament on your tree in their memory,or light candles in their honor.I set up a small grotto in my backyard garden with 16 votive candles (his age) to pay tribute to his life.I also made a memory scrapbook with many many photos of him and that helps me to look at it.I couldn't do it right away but once some time passed I was able to do it without crying the whole time.I wish you well and I will put you in my prayers tonight.All of us here are going thur the same kind of pain that you are and we totally understand!Take care and yourself and let us know how your doing.Sincerely,Renee (Sox's mom)
