Zoe's urn arrived yesterday (Saturday) morning. I only ordered it on Thursday night, so I was very impressed. Unfortunately, when I opened it, it brought everything back and I broke down. I didn't cry for too long at that moment, but it put me in a funk and I cried off and on for the rest of the day. It's been nearly two months since she's been gone, but the wound is still very fresh. I don't know how else to describe it all except to say it's hard and it hurts.

We're going to transfer her ashes today, if I can hold it together long enough.


try to remind yourself she's at the all she can eat bug buffett. Unlimited mice and catnip & as a bonus NO trips to the VET which you know she didn't like.

Now don't tell me that i am mean. A cat that we had one time for some reason no longer wanted it.So i drove 5 or 6 miles from home drop it off long side road.Then 2 or 3 mouths later a cat was at the front door with kitties it was her we find now homes for them later.

Robert, dumping animals at the side of the road is deplorable. If you have a pet you no longer want, go to the Humane Society, SPCA, or other animal rescue organiztions. There is ABSOLUTELY NO excuse for dumping animals to get sick, injured or worse KILLED!

I won't tell you that you are mean Robert, but I will tell you that you are pretty despicable. Posting that here was also not in the best taste.

ROBERT:
I have to agree with Kelly and Leslie. Dumping any animal like that is way beyond mean. It's inhumane and totally uncalled for. I don't like being mean to people and I've gone out of my way to be nice to you when you've posted comments that I didn't agree with or thought were impolite, but this one, especially on this entry while we're still grieving, really takes the cake. It was rude, insensitive and immature. You should know better.

Gosh, I just can't believe what Robert wrote. What an out-of-body experience I had. I'm also sorry that it was posted in the most inappropriate of places at the most inappropriate of times when your pain, Moo, is so raw that it can't even be described adequately. I'm going to try not to have nightmares tonight and instead concentrate on Zoe and how lucky she was to have Mr. and Mrs. Moo as her Mommy and Daddy.

I appreciate your post, Robert, however, you did not hurt my feelings. What you did was make me imagine what that cat thought, what it went through, how scared and lonely and hungry and starved it was. My brain can't even wrap around those thoughts.
