Bringing the box inside I immediately began to regret not signing up for the Crazy CatLadyBox which included goodies for cats as well as cat ladies because Truffles was so interested in checking out the box. In my defense, Truffles was never that into toys, so I figured it would end up being a waste of money, but I planned to give it some thought before renewing my subscription.
The next morning she started acting a bit "off", and even though my concern grew as the weekend went on, never in a million years would I have guessed what was to come on Monday night.
What scares me most of all is that for the first time in 5 years the calendar falls exactly as it did in 2015 and I can't help but feel a sense of dread. July 4th is notoriously tragic for my family - my dad had a heart attack right on the holiday in 1993, my mom in 2014. I lost both Tara and Truffles on the 7th, 2 years apart. Hiding under the bed through the holiday weekend is not out of the question.
I don't blame you for dreading this weekend. Paws crossed everything is calm until it passes.
ReplyDeleteThat is a lot of sadness associated with July 4th!
ReplyDeleteWE send lots of purrs that this July 4 will be "normal" and fun.
Purrs,Georgia and Julie
Sending a big ((hug)), Melissa.
ReplyDeletePurrs to you...
ReplyDeleteWe're sending you lots of purrs and hugs.
ReplyDeleteI can understand your being scared this time of year. You and your family will be in my prayers. XO
ReplyDeletePurrayers and POTP for this timw to pass safely and quickly !
ReplyDeleteOh dear I can really understand your apprehension. We will purr that this weekend goes with complete ordinariness! Is that a word? May you see a calm quiet restful weekend. (I know too how hard it was to look at those photos again, I just came upon one of Abby that I took in July of 2013 right before the beginning of the end.)
ReplyDeleteWe understand how you feel. We're sending purrs and prayers that all is well. We have some things like that coming up this week. Angel Ellie left us July 6, 2017 and our Daddy went into the hospital on July 8, 2017 and never came home.

Hugs from all of us too, yes, it can be a scary time but here's to all being just fine.
ReplyDeleteSending you both lots of love
ReplyDeleteWhoa! better lock MP in a bubble tomorrow. Sorry a day that most people enjoy has been cruel to you.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get through this 4th without any tragedies. There are days that most of us don't look forward to, but the 4th is definitely a day you don't look forward to. ♥
ReplyDeleteI can only image the sense of dread you must feel this time of year, Melissa. I am sending you, Mudpie, and your parents lots of prayers for peace, health, and safety this weekend, and every day!
