It is six months, today, without Miss Pooch-A-Rilla.
I suppose I am a "cat person" now.
Throughout my entire life, my family and I had the companionship of dogs. It is a break to not have to wake and walk an animal as well as do this when it is cold and you are tired, just before sleep.
I am content with Li-Kitty. She did show signs of sadness for a while, including sleeping where Pooch would. My cat allergies have diminished greatly. When I leave for a day or even two, I no longer have to call upon a friend to keep watch.
Most days I am fine, however there are often moments when I sit and reflect upon the amazingly beautiful buddy I had, who touched the lives of so many people in person and over the net, who was there with me for roughly fourteen years, a few states (physically & mentally), who was a hiking partner, snuggle pillow, snorer (sometimes even louder than me), dancing partner (she was a graceful waltzer) and last but not least, a member of my family.
I miss her dearly but it was time. I am extremely lucky to have had the moments I did. Miss Pooch-A-Rilla is a major highlight of my life.
I love you, Pooch!
