Feeling The Loss Of Sparkles

Sparkles was put down In February in the afternoon On Monday the third A sad day for me Close to the table Where Sparkles was on her green eyes staring As I spoke to her She was restless In a strong voice I spoke to Sparkles Trying to calm her In her carrier she walked looking to escape The vet calmed her down With the first needle Then she insert The second needle Her heart stopped then she passed Now I'm mourning The loss of Sparkles I'm feeling the loss

I am so very sorry for your loss. It hurts so much, and such an emptiness. I just lost our fur baby, our beautiful precious labrador mix, GJ. He passed on Dec. 3. I have a memorial of his toys and leash, coller, blanket and dish. I don;t know if I can ever get rid of it. My heart goes out to you. Hugs from afar and prayer lifted for comfort <3

Darlene, of coue, Ilnew of your loss. And since thenn, everytime I lois at Irene now, I think of you and sweetest Sparkles, I sent you a long letter about that and I didn’t hear back, but I understand how tough this time is for you.. my 12 experiences with putting a cat down taught me how each, added to my life.
