I agree: Potato was beautiful. And, if I may say so, I applaud her daring fashion sense. That gray, sleeveless sweater is stunning.
My cat, Milo, is nearing his 15th birthday. He has some health issues. Every day I watch him, and pet him, and talk to him (yes, sometimes there's a little singing), feed him (well, I try, but we're talking about a cat here), and act as his faithful concierge (not servant: he and I have talked about this), and each day I wonder how that day will end.
Honestly, these little critters make us love them so! My sympathies, too, to all here who have lost someone they loved. I know, "It is as natural to die as it is to be born" (Bacon?), but still, it sucks.
Best wishes to you and Stormy, and to all who grieve. -- Sarah Koch
Thank you, Sarah. Stormy made the sweaters. Potato modeled them. I will health and happiness for you and Milo. I feel lucky to have lived with cats my entire life, and sometimes with dogs as well. And now, chickens.
So sorry for your loss, Sandra. Potato is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing her story. Those are lovely and sweet photos. Losing a beloved pet is so hard. I remember how empty the house felt when Tanya left us. I still grieve over her 3 1/2 years later. I ran across this quote somewhere a few years ago that helps some “Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.”― Jamie Anderson.
I am so sorry to read your grief. I still grieve Morty, the loose limbed gray lover, gone three years ago, even as I sit here balancing the laptop on tiny terrorist Janeway who may erupt at any moment. Much love ...
Sandra, I’m so sorry for your loss. Those pics are so lovely. Losing a pet is really hard and feels so empty. I always recommend the children’s book Our Animal Friends on Maple Hill Farm to people who have love and lost pets.
Stormy is talented and Potato made a splendid model.
Thank you, from Milo and me, for the good positive thoughts. We all need 'em, huh?

Thank you for that quote, Sarah. Potato visited me in a dream this morning. Just for a moment to let me know she's okay.

Thank you Jan. Morty was a lovely being. I'm sure Janeway is too, though I've never met her in person.

Thank you so much. I'm ordering it now.
