Your Pet Tributes

Sassy came to us by accident really I think it was more like fate. She was a small tabby kitten and she had the cutest little face and those little eyes just melted my heart you might say it was love at first sight.

We got her from a young girl who could not keep her and I felt so bad for her as we sat there holding Sassy she was crying we almost changed our minds but her Mom and Grandpa said she would be ok. That night I held her in my arms after feeding her she was so tiny and trusting but her story was a sad one and it breaks my heart just thinking about her.

Sassy was only a few mouths old but in the short time she was here she went through something that breaks my heart. When we got her we was told that some little kids tried to burn her. They burned her back feet and her little tail the burns were healing but the scares was still there. You could just look at her and know something bad happened to her.

When I got her home we called the vets right away to see what we should do she did not look to be in pain but I was told if I was worryed to bring her in the next morning. In the short time we had her she wrapped my heart around her little paws she would set on her little rump and cry till her milk was heated up then she would take her little front paws and hold my hand while she drank her milk then we would play together. She would roll around till she was tired then curl up on my chest and fall to sleep listening to my heart beat and elvis singing on the tv. She would sleep as long as she heard the music playing turn it off and she would be back up walking around again.

We gave her a nickname of piddlebug because she would go piddles on us we would forget to set her in the box and then before we knew it we was wet with her piddles. She passed away last night, we spent the day napping together I just knew something was wrong when she did not move. When I would talk in the room she would wake up and look around every other time but last night she went to sleep and would not eat.

Earlier in the day she was walking kind of funny so I picked her up and checked her feet they looked okay but she most have been in some pain because she layed down on my chest and went to sleep. If I had any idea that would be the last time I saw her alive I would have made her last few hours with us more comfortable but I had no clue.

I feel so sad and I have such an empty feeling in my heart as I sit here and write this how can this little baby have gone through such a harsh and cruel life and then I have to say goodbye to her. I don't think life is fair but I will always have her sweet memories here with me she was and always will be my little piddlebug. Words can't bring her back to us and the pain is real but deep in my heart I know she is in a better place where she will have no more pain and where she will sleep without fear and she won't shake anymore.

I have cried till there is no more tears left to cry now all I can do is say my goodbyes to her and tell her you will always hear Mommy's heartbeat. I love and miss you piddlebug/sassy girl.
