Today one of my two best friends passed away.


Today one of two of my best friends passed away. Jeanie our cat of 18 years was put to sleep. Her and Pookin our other cat were both members of our family since kittens. They were only about a year apart. Pookin passed away last year and Jeanie from there just seemed to get worse. I think she died from a broken heart knowing pookin was gone. She meowed for months and I really feel she was asking for him. Today Jeanie passed away. I was at work and I pretty much knew that she had to go to the vet and wasnt coming back. At 2:00 coming home and crying in my car it hit like a wave rushing over me. I can't tell you how hard I cried. Memories just kept flashing into my mind the day we brought her home as well as Pookie. Both our cats lived through my 18 years of marriage together with all of the events and disasters in our lives.. They ushered in our two girls and were more of a family to me then any friend I ever recalled having.

Loosing Jeanie today to me just ended an era in my life. I don't know that after Pookie and Jeanie I could ever get another cat again. Right now we have Macie, our Basset Hound, and we are going to continue taking care of her as well as we did our two cats but Pookie and Jeanie are just to irreplaceable in my life. I don't think I'll ever have greater friends. There isn't much more that I could even begin to put into words.

Jeanie (AKA Beaner)
