An introduction

So hello to everyone who ends up reading this. As you can see from the title this is my blog about losing a pet. It isn't meant to be any sort of guide telling you how to deal with your loss or potential loss. I'm not going to make false promises or color anything over for anyone's sake. I didn't make this to help other people initially but in a way, I hope it will help someone who has or is going to lose a pet.

What this blog is, is a way for me to cope with losing my best friend. She died February 2010 after only 9 1/2 years together. I've cried more over her the last two months then the months after her death. Maybe grief kept me from crying-a sort of shock or denial. Maybe it wasn't real. Or maybe now the weight of it is so heavy on my soul that I'v realized how difficult life is without her. Whatever the reason is, this blog is for me to write my feelings and while I didn't make it to help other people, maybe it will. Maybe other people can read this and realize they aren't alone in their feelings. Some people I know just think "oh well it was only a cat."

only a cat.

Not just a cat though. My cat. My girl.

It's too hard to talk about losing her, I do better writing.

I suppose I'll say a little about me. I'm a university student, I'll be a teacher in a few years. I'm musically inclined and I speak French too.I own an online business with my mom and I have the best boyfriend in the world.  However, most importantly I'm an animal lover.

My best friend, Kallie, died in February from liver failure brought on by constant bouts of Cat Flu (which she initially caught at the vets when I went to give her her vaccinations to keep her healthy-how ironic). I will swear to my dying day their lack of care in the sanitary department is why she's gone now.  The grief of her loss has left an empty place in my soul which I hope to mend (at least a little) here.

So, without further rambling, I'll sign off for now and hope that this venture helps me and whomever ends up reading this.
