Pets

I've noticed as seasons change, the elderly tend to die more at this time than others. I'm beginning to wonder if the change in seasons affects our companions, as well. Both my Mom's cats died at seasons' change; and come to think of it, so did my Mom. She died one day before the first big snowfall here this year.

So many of my rescues had health issues, and tho I babied many to their late teens and 20's, I can't help but think their health was compromised. The cat I can't seem to stop mourning died just before the start of a heatwave, but I have other issues I think affected her.

But NNadir, I think you will grieve when the time comes. And it's okay. We've all been through it so many times here. It seems like our entire lives can be counted by the paw traces on our hearts. Mine goes out to you today. Take it easy on yourself. Peace...
