What we have once enjoyed and deeply loved we can never
lose, for all that we love deeply becomes a part of us...
Today will be eight years since little Shadow died
such a terrible death while in the care of our pet-sitter.
Arvid to this day blames her. I have moments where I feel
a little charitable, but when I lay in bed at nights I repeat
the scene of how Shadow died. We were not at home, but
we were given the details. Today I wished she would
have lied about the circumstances of Shadows death.
Shadow came into our lives days after our Brutus died. He
was just about 6 months when we got him. Full of feistiness
and a zest for life. He was a handful, but a beautiful one All
he wanted was to be loved and to play. Sometimes I feel
as if I failed him because we were not there to save him.
Arvid and I were visiting my parents in North Carolina
when I got the call informing me that our Shadow had just
died the most violent/painful death while in the care of my
friend/pet-sitter. Without hesitation, we cut our trip short
and drove back home to Fort Lauderdale as fast as we could.
I think we made the 12 hour drive in record time.
The above was November 10th 2015. Bringing Shadow
home with us. Little did we know how it would end.
I hope you know that for the short time you were with us, we loved you.
Guilt is probably the most painful companion of death 🐾
been one hell of a journey. We have our differences, but
there is no one I would rather do life than with him.
To make heaven the perfect resting place for loved ones we adore,
God made sure those Pearly Gates contained a kitty door...
