So long sweet friend!

This post is a little tribute to my sweet little kitty "Lucky".  She  passed away on Friday.  I am glad that it was quick, and that I could hold her as she died, but it was still really tough.  She was 3 years old, but the vet figured she had a heart attack.  At least she wasn't sick and suffering.  I don't think I could have handled that.  I've cried my tears and now am feeling a little stronger.  I'm sure there are more tears to come, but for now I'm focussing on the great memories I had with her.  She was my husband's cat before we got together, and my very first cat... not my last though.


Here are a few of my favourite pics of her... not all the best quality, but the memories associated make me smile.

Lucky on my nightstand at bed time.

Lucky in a box! She was always "in" something, usually it was the laundry hamper or towel closet.

Lucky laying on top of the bunnies "castle" batting at poor little Foo Foo.  They really did love each other.  I know they are missing her.

Lucky "helping" me quilt.  Look at her face... she know's she's done something wrong.

Luck outside hunting birds.  Luckily we only had one brought into the house, and it lived to tell the story of being attacked by a cat.

I think that's enough for all of you out there.  This post is really just for me to get it off my chest.  This weekend has helped me to remember to take time with family (human and animal variety) and friends to ensure that if they went today, I'd know I'd spent the time with them that I needed to. No regrets.  Thankfully I have no regrets with Lucky.  We were together all the time, with lots of cuddles and love.

One final pic.. these are the flowers that my amazing husband bought for me.  Isn't he sweet?!?

Today I'm feeling so much better and stronger. Hopefully my creative juices will start flowing again. I've been doing some paintings and beginning to feel the fog of winter lift. Spring is here.  It's time for me to start enjoying the outdoors again.  I'll be back soon with some of the projects I am starting.
