i am in tears || goodbye piper

i don’t have a lot to say. my baby crossed the rainbow bridge today and i was halfway across the country sobbing on facetime while i said goodbye. i took care of her from when she was 8 weeks old to now and i can’t believe my little moo moo is gone. i miss you pipes. i wish i could have snuggled your velvet ears one more time and given you a kissy on your head. i love you.

to wenny, for i have not known a deeper loss than the one of you.

he says he thinks they found your bones under the house.

and even though you’ve been gone for years,

and i’ve not cried over anything in months,

after he leaves, tears trickle out of my eyes at the thought of you down there,

wondering when someone will come get you.

i saw a video today,

two cats surrendered because their owner was going to a retirement home,

she left a note to describe them,

“i’m the only mother they’ve ever known.”

and you and your sister,

twins with black fluffy fur and big green eyes,

only ever discernible to me,

your little face more triangular,

your fur softer,

a face i’ll never see again,

and fur my fingers will never cascade through again,

the only children i’ve ever known.

i loved you like you were my own,

my kin,

my kitten,

and though you were 5 or so years old,

i can’t help but think of you down there

crying for your mother the way you would cry for milk.

and i realise i can’t remember how you sound.

your bones stay down there,

with the earth,

perhaps the wind helps

roll them into the grass,

like you did over and over.

i want to recognise the work done,

the sun stretches every morning,

and the moon shines every night.

i try hard to believe you’re waiting

on that fated rainbow bridge,

but it should not have been your turn yet,

and for that, i cannot thank the gods

for uncovering your fate.

i did not expect the world

to stop turning,

but i would not have minded

I like this Nony.

This is very adorable

you were a good dog // goodbye clemmy

recently got the news that one of my family member's dogs who i was close to was put down. i miss her a lot. she was a good dog and is chasing all the tennis balls in the sky and licking all the ice cream from the floor. miss you clem.

Look I’d probably be a lot more fine with all the affection if they didn’t make my lungs burn and cause me to break out in hives 😂 but you’re right I am a dog person over cats.

I know the running joke is that once you become a mum you never get a moments peace again, especially on the toilet but I swear the cats are as bad as the toddler

Though… Moose used to do the same thing so I can’t really complain. Still feels strange not to have my furry best friend following me everywhere. I miss her dearly.
