Sorrow Strikes

May 7, 2010

Hello,

It has been a while since my last entry and I would like to say that this entry would be joyful but I am sorry to say that this entry will be a remembrance for a friend lost this past week. On Sunday evening my friend and companion for the past two years was bitten by a rattlesnake. When I realized what was going on he was taken to the vet on Monday morning and hospitalized for a couple of days. As each day passed his condition got worse. On Thursday morning I called and told he was shocky and blood was present in his stool, I left the house knowing the decision I had to make, it was not easy but it had to be made. After meeting with the vet and getting the updated word I spent time with Mister Juan Sequin and tried to comfort him, but I don’t think he was aware of me and was in pain that was deep. After moments with him I spoke with the vet and told them that he deserves respect and dignity and must be sent to a place where this no pain or worry. So the arrangements and papers signed and I joined my friend in a room where he was put to rest. I kept my hand on him until the end came and my heart broke and of the time of this entry it is still broke. So my friend Mister Sequin no longer shares this time with me in person but does share many happy memories with me. I was once told of a story about a “Rainbow Bridge” where one day I hope to cross and meet with him, Mister Bronx, Miss Brooklyn, Miss Marion and his mom Miss Ciboolo. Aplace where I shall bring the treats and cat nip and they can bring the love and purrs.

I wanted to share with you my friend Mister Juan Sequin born on May 9th 2008 and passed on May 5th 2010 a very short two years but a time where he touched my heart deeply. So the photos that follow are in honor of my friend. Enjoy the images presented and I hope they make you smile. Until the next time I wish for you happiness, joy and love! Pete
