Goodbye to Sweet Little Scutchie

Today a piece of my heart is missing now that Scutchie is gone from my life. We got Scutchie on St. Patty's Day back in 1998. My sister thought she'd be a good companion to my other cat Nala- haha fat chance!!! With her kind demeanor, playfulness, and love of affection even from complete strangers, Scutchie could win over even the "cat haters" without even trying. I never understand the sorrow of losing an animal until Scutchie first got sick 2 years. It got to the point where we had to tube feed her. Through it all, she preservered, our miracle "puppy cat" as we fondly called her. Two months ago Scutchie got sick again and this time I got scared. I took tons of pictures of her knowing in the back on my mind I might not see her again. Scutchie got sick again this month but this time it was different, she had lymphoma. I know she was so sick and hated to hear how poorly she was doing. I guess putting her down was a blessing. But it still doesn't take away the fact that I miss her more than I could put down in words. I think it's even harder to say goodbye to a pet becasue after all they love you unconditionally, never say harsh things to you, and they're always there when you need them. So with that I leave you with my favorite pictures of Scutchie through the years!
