Willie's numbers tonight are a puzzle and a reminder to all of us never to follow-up a suspected fur shot with a second dose. Tonight, I didn't feel the needle go in (I have GOT to stop shooting him while he's eating and just put him in my lap like I used to do!), and when I pushed his fur aside, there was clearly a wet spot that, when sniffed, had that lovely hint of bandaid to it. Clearly a fur shot, right?!? So imagine my surprise at that 80.
One year ago today, Miss Jezebelle went to the bridge. Left to get sugar to make muffins for colleagues and returned to a medical crisis from which she wouldn't recover. It's still hard sometimes... she truly was my feline doppleganger so losing her was like losing a part of myself. I miss her so much today. I have to wonder with Willie's sudden high numbers if he senses that today was the day too? I've kept busy today... from church at 7:30am, some shopping and crafting then a very serene yoga class tonight. I think it all has helped make today a bit more bearable.
Herbie's presence has been a big help for both Willie and I. She reminds me of Miss Belle in so many ways... and I suspect that her speedy acclimation to our little family has so much to do with Miss Belle's influence. There are just little things that she will do that I can't help but think that there's no way a 6 month old kitten would have the instinct... but yet there she is. I know her presence has been so good for Willie... it amuses me that I was so worried for so long about how he might adapt. Then again, maybe I needed to wait so that just the right little someone could find her way to us.
This may sound silly, but I'm so thankful to have come across the urn/statue I ultimately selected when I began looking. There is just something so peaceful about having her watching over us from the mantle like she does... Willie and I often sit on the sofa together with him up behind my head. I have loved feeling like she was right there with us.
So tonight, we are lighting a candle in rememberance of our dear furry friend. I've been doing my best not to cry all day today. So much for that.
Miss Belle, please don't tell Herbie, but you will always, always, always be my bestest girl.
