Happy 10th Gotcha Day, Angel Truffles!

Ten years ago today I adopted Truffles. There's no happier day than the day a new fur baby arrives, and I still remember picking her up at Petco, bringing her home and her settling in like she was always meant to be there.

She was so young, we were going to have so much time together...but that wasn't meant to be.

Would I have brought her home that day if I'd known the heartbreak to follow? Without a doubt. In our short two years together she left me with memories that will last a lifetime.


And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd have had to miss the dance

The Dance, Garth Brooks

    Two fine years, a lot of love and fine memories. Yes, sometimes out time in this particular life is short. But it is a life, and we live and share it with those beside us in the hope we enrich them and others, in so doing.
    Gentle purrs for your sweet memories and kind acts.

    And just think What a Wonderful Life you gave her for 2 years. Who knows how she would have ended up in that short time with someone else. I love the dance first at the end.

    What a beautiful photo. I had not realized or had forgotten that your angel was only with you for two years…but what a wonderful two years for Truffles in a loving home with a terrific mom. Sending hugs today as you remember. Thanks for sharing her on the hop.

    The poem moved me so much. It is so very true. Yes you did not have a lifetime but what you had was happiness and total love. Truffles loss was sudden and shattering and we feel your sadness.

    Mudpie, look after your mum on this sad and quiet day.

    So true. Angel Truffles may have only had two years, with you, but I’m sure they were the happiest of her life.
