Tis was not easy.

Tis was not easy.

A Poem by Onlyme

The dread decision
to have to put a
beloved pet to sleep.
Never sits easily
on anyone mind
or heart.

That happened
to a friend today
an elderly lady.

That lost all own cats
due to ill health or old age
over the years gone past.

And her only companion
was here beloved
deceased sisters
old pussycat.

But due to ill health
and old age.
She was now having to face
that ultimate final act to do
towards that said cat.

With compassionate words
and an understanding
soul and caring way from
both myself and her vet.

She knew in her heart that
time had come to let her go.

She had given her undying love
true friendship, time and loyalty
as well as a warm loving home
to Tibby.

That her own dear deceased
sister would have appreciated
and wanted for her pet herself

As well as knowing
her sibling  has done
all she could for her
furry companion that
once was hers.

So now dear little Tibby
has crossed over and
with her beloved sister Betty now.
Telling her all about her sister
and how she gave her such
a wonderful loving life.

pets are family...and losing family as Jamal in Finding Forrester wrote...obliges us to find new family....
hopefully she will find a new kitty companion soon.
