I now know what it is like to have to say, “Good-bye,” to your pet cat; he lifted me up when I was down and gave me all the love I really needed to keep going after losing his brother, Sammy, two and half years ago. Dogs and cats are not supposed to be friends, but my two guys were the best of friends, slept together, and squabbled over the last treats as brothers often do. God does not give us more than we can handle, but my heart is breaking so much. I bottle-fed Mikie and watched him grow into a very sensitive, intelligent, mischievous gift from God. Do not know how big a hole this will make in my heart, but He knows the plans for my life more than I do. As a matter of fact, I know He holds my heart!
