Last week I told you a little about what was happening with my kitty, Boost. Wednesday morning we realized he was acting a little funny and took him into the vet Thursday morning. We were told he had a clogged urethra, but they had gotten a catheter in and he was looking better already. The vet said we would get a call Friday morning when he got in and if things were looking good he might be able to come home early. We were so relieved that he was doing better, and when Mike got the call Friday he was hoping we could go pick him up. Unfortunately, that wasn't the call we received...
Apparently, another crystal had gotten stuck in the catheter and clogged Boost's urethra again. I don't know when they found it, or if it happened overnight, or what, but unfortunately, he didn't make it. Poor Mike had to take the call all on his own, and then call me here at school to tell me. And...since we already had quota for teacher's gone for that day, I had to stay and teach the rest of the day. It was the longest Friday of my life...
Truth be told, it was the longest weekend of my life. Needless to say, it wasn't the holiday weekend I had been expecting. Mike and I spent the better part of Friday night crying together. And Saturday, when we came home from our day out, Boost wasn't at the door to greet us. We both felt the emptiness and cried together again.
You see for some people animals are just animals. But to us, they are our family. Boost was my little buddy. He followed me around everywhere, greeted me when I walked in the door, kept me company while I was getting ready, and slept by my side every night. Not to mention he was the most beautiful cat I've ever seen in my life.
The emptiness is overly present in our house. It's just not the same without him running around at our feet.
I'm gonna miss my boy...
So, so sorry to hear about poor Boost. Pets truly are family members, and their loss is so hard. I pray for peace and comfort for you and your husband.

ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry for your loss. I am someone that feels my fur-babies are family and as I have lost some in the past I know how you feel. If you need anything girl I am here for you!
ReplyDeleteI'm so very sorry for your loss.. I lost my cat when I was in high school and it was awful. She always cuddled up and slept next to me and I would fall asleep to her purring. I ended up developing insomnia because I felt like I couldn't sleep without her. She was my best friend. I know how you feel. I'm almost 30 and I still think of her :big hugs:

ReplyDeleteRemember all of the wonderful memories you have with that precious kitty and feel good knowing that you gave him a happy loving life. He will be waiting for you in Heaven one day I just know it! I like to think that my grandmother is taking good care of all my past animals up there, and I'm sure you have a responsible deceased relative who is doing the same for you!
