Saying Goodbye to a Friend

Today is a rather sad day for us. For the sake of Pepsi's happiness and emotional well-being, we had to give him back to his "Grandma" Fran. It is especially difficult for me because I am the only one he chose to bond with and knowing that I have to let him go just breaks my heart more than words can ever say.  It was such a hard thing to have to do, but I know in my heart that it was the right thing to do for Pepsi.

Fran does not have any other kitties living in her home and the only critter she does have is a beautiful, loving Yellow Lab named Ginger. This will definately make Pepsi a lot happier - not to mention that Fran and her husband have a much bigger house in which he can roam and feel at home in. I am also sending along with him the comfy kitty bed he likes so much, his blanket we bought just for him and the catnip toy I made for him.

We will miss him terribly, but fortunately we will still be able to visit him any time we want and I know that he will make Fran as happy as she will make him by welcoming him into their loving home!

  1. So sorry it didn't work out for you and Pepsi; such a beautiful boy. But it sounds like the new situation will be a good place. Hugs to you for trying with Pepsi, and hugs also for the tears I know you must be shedding. He will be fine and happy!

  2. Robin - Thank you so much for your kind words. It means a lot to me to know there is someone else who understands what I am feeling. You are right, Pepsi will definately be in a happier place at this stage of his life.

    Always,
