First, the backstory. When Angel Tara went to the Bridge, Mommy packed up all of her things to put in a memory box. They were "hers" and the next kitty in Mommy's life (who turned out to be me!) would get new things all her own.
But the day I came home Mommy had forgotten one thing...she hadn't gotten me any food dishes yet, so she went into Tara's box and pulled out the one that had been her dry food dish. (It had already been put away for quite awhile since Tara could no longer eat kibble following her diabetes diagnosis.)
Over the last (almost) two years, that dish and I have shared a lot of great meals together. Here we were in happier days:
You may have noticed by now that I'm speaking of the dish in past tense. That's because this happened:
Mommy was cleaning the kitchen sink and somehow managed to knock my dish off the counter onto the floor. It didn't stand a chance. I was shocked and horrified when I saw what had happened:
Now it's back in Tara's memory box...in pieces :(
Aww, I had when that happens. It makes me sad.
ReplyDeleteDat stinks.
ReplyDeleteAww... that's sad. At least your mom still has her memories.

Awww...but, Truffles, don't be sad, things happens! See it on the bright sight...now you have two memories :) Maybe your mom can fix it with a little glue, just to keep the memories together. Soft Pawkisses <3
ReplyDeleteWhy is it always your favourite dish that gets broken!
ReplyDeleteLuv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
That's a shame. It will carry extra memories in the memory box now... of both of you!
ReplyDeleteI am sorry this happened to your cute dish. Please don't be sad for it was an accident.
ReplyDeletexoxo
Oh, I'm sorry. Glad it only broke in two pieces so you could put it back in the memory box. Rest in peace, cute little dish.
ReplyDeleteThat's too bad. It looks like a nice bowl to eat from.
ReplyDeleteSorry about your (and Tara's) dish, Truffles. The Mom would be sad if Jewel's fishy bowl broke, too. This reminds her that maybe she should put it away instead of letting us use it. *hugs* to you and your mom.
ReplyDeleteawe sweetie I am so glad to read it was a dish that went to dish heaven and not a furry one. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry about Tara's dish :(
ReplyDeleteAww, it's still a keepsake and I'm sure Mommy will pick you a very special bowl, Truffles.
ReplyDeleteWhoa! That title had me thinking (gasp) that something happened to Truffles. I had services for my dish last year. All of The-Cat’s-That-Came-Before’s dishes are already gone. Gramma’s cats used to eat out of the styroform plates that supermarket meat comes in even though TW kept buying them cat dishes. Anyhoo, sorry about your loss.
ReplyDeleteI am sure that made you sad, but now you get to pick out a brand new special dish..
ReplyDeleteOh, that is sad. But it served up many a great meal. Purrhaps your human could bust it up a little more and makes a mosaic.
ReplyDeleteNow yous will gets another special dish!
Kisses
Nellie
Aw, too bad it broke, but at least it is still in the memory box.
ReplyDeletePerhaps since she is just going to keep it as a keepsake she can glue it back together. I'm sure something like superglue would work or I bet there is something better in the craft store for that type of container it was.
ReplyDeleteHi Y’all!
ReplyDeleteMy Human has been known to mend broken, sentimental things and retire them to a safe place.
Did you follow me to http://www.browndogcbr.net? There is a link on http://browndogcbr.blogspot.com .
Hope, if you haven’t already, y’all will come to my new home. I’m still workin’ on it. I’ll be tryin’ a different format tomorrow. We need your input.
Y’all hurry on by now!

Oh no! I hate it when stuff like that happens. It is always the sentimental things that get broken. The truth is that we keep the best parts of our loved ones in our hearts. They are tucked away where no one can ever take them from us. I hope your Mommy isn't too upset, Truffles!

Oh no! We are so sorry that Tara's dish broke. :(
ReplyDeleteWe like Nellie's idea about making a special mosaic with it.
We're sorry that happened ; at least it's in the memory box. Purrs

Truffles does look shocked and horrified. You interrupted her bath!
ReplyDeleteJean from Welcome to the Menagerie
hopefully it can be glued back together and put back in the memory box....and then you can get a new dish and make more new memories....
ReplyDeleteAww.. so sorry! It's always the things that have the most sentimental value that get broken and hurt the most. Sending hugs to your mommy, Truffles.
ReplyDeleteTruffles, I'll bet that Tara would love to know you enjoyed her dish! You and Melissa both have wonderful sentimental memories of it, and you will share new ones with a new dish. Be sure to 'hug' your mommy and show her you love her, and be ready to enjoy the new dish with Fancy Feast. It is all OK! Be sure to show us a picture of your new dish!!
ReplyDeleteOhhhh noooooooooo!! My Mom did the same thing with one of my Grandpa Bobo's dishes! She was heartbroken so she knows just how you feel. Love, Cody
ReplyDeleteAww, we're so sorry, Truffles. What a special dish you got to use everyday. I bet your Mommy could use some purrs to feel better.
ReplyDeleteWe are sorry to hear about your special dish breaking. It's hard with things that have a special meaning to us.
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel - somethings can't be replaced!
