Good bye Dietrich

On Friday December the 29th. our dearly beloved cat Dietrich passed away with his owner close by at the Peel Animal shelter. After a long traumatic illness it was thought best that his suffering should end and eternal peace be found. Dietrich, you are already missed. You were a wonderful independant yet loving cat who knew that Shadie ruled in this house. Though you could not hear, you lovingly called to us in a gentle meow when needing food which was... frequently. Maria will miss the hump she felt at the foot of the bed where you slept, but wont miss the hair you shed on your last days due to your stress. You will be forever remembered
-as we cast aside paper gift bags as they were your favourite toys.
-as we hear the raucaus of the neighbouring racoons, we will remember how you were so friendly that if we would let you outside you would of befriended them.
-as we move the middle speaker that sits on top of the television and reveal the crack in the plastic shell when you used that as your personal step to get on/off the windowsill.
-as we ask for the salt and pepper only to realize we don't have a full feline set anymore since you are gone and the salt/white is missing.
Your life may of been only 4 years in duration but your heart gave us a lifetime of memories and love. We Love you Dee! Rest in peace.

I am so sorry, I am behind on reading blogs and did not know that Deitrich as passed away. I am truly sorry for your loss, as I can now relate to how one truly feels about their pets. I am glad to have met Dietrich. My love to you and Anisten.
