Your Pet Tributes

I had Milo for 11 years he was a beautiful ginger shorthair and a special part of my life. He always knew when I was feeling down. On a Wednesday afternoon I saw Milo sitting outside just looking at me. I thought nothing of it.

By that evening I had a strange feeling that something wasn't right so at 1am that Thursday morning I got out bed and started calling for him. He never came, by lunchtime that day my husband found him down by the duck pond. He was very sick. I took him to the vet and he stayed overnight there.

On Friday morning I rang the vet and was told to collect Milo that afternoon, Milo looked very ill his kidneys were not the best. We spent the last night with him. Whenever Milo slept I would not be far. I kept telling him that I loved him and thanking him for being such a beautiful cat. I think he understood.

On Saturday morning I knew what had to be done, my poor Milo was in pain. I rang the vet and took him in. My sons and I were all there to say goodbye. Milo has been gone for 4 weeks now but still miss him. For Mothers Day my family gave me a framed picture which I love. The hurt doesn't go away. I know that time heals and Milo is with us every day. If your out there Milo we love you.
