Mark at Enough About Me has lost his Miutu, pictured above.
There's a 19 lb hole in my life. A sweet boy, all cuddles and chainsaw purrs. Even in fear, he might growl but never scratched or bit. Katzie, at first excited about having me to himself, has been looking from room to room, and, finally, following and rubbing on me at all times. He looked distinctly depressed as I left for work.Our animal companions most often go before us, but it's no less heart-rending each time it happens. The losses pile up, and it's a bit worse each time. We can invite new companions into our homes, but they don't take the place of those who are gone. Mark grieves for Miutu, and I grieve with him.
Oh God, we bring you our grief in the loss of Miutu and ask for Mark the courage to bear it. We bring you our thanks for Miutu who gave freely of her love. We commit his friend and companion to your loving hands. Give us eyes to see how your love embraces all creatures, and every living thing speaks to us of your love. Amen.
So sorry to hear this. Mark, Katzie and Miutu are on my prayer list and I will keep praying for all three.
