Thank you for your kind words, they mean a great deal to me. It's so comforting to know that there are others in this world who feel as I do about my animals. Most people just don't understand that I grieve for my pets as much (and more so, in some cases) as I grieve for humans. It's a different kind of grief, a special and unique kind, for animals offer unconditional love - and that's something of a rarity in human relationships. Pets are non-judgemental, sympathetic, willing listeners and intuitive in knowing when something is wrong with you. I love my fiance with all my heart and he has many of these attributes, but my cats will always have a very special, unique part in my heart.
I love you Cocoa, I miss you and I will always be looking for you, as long as I have sight. I will never stop looking in house windows or down alley-ways, just to see if someone took you. I know I will probably never see you again in this lifetime, but I pray that God will reunite us one day, never again to be parted.
