Having had some time thought I would do some updating on the most wonderful lady who shared my life, stole my heart and approved of the man who was to become her Daddy
I got Sweetie and Toerag when my first marraige was going pearshaped they were band aid babies and they stole my heart and my love and my whole world revolved around them including moving house, getting divorced meeting Robin and all that entailed they were my world through good and bad times
After we lost Toerag to an RTA in 2000 she became my soul focus in life apart from her Daddy, and Tiger then we started adding to our family and the Clan was born, she allowed us to add more permanant residents always done with her approval, she let us foster the less fortunate, she allowed Breeze and Jazz to move in and soon had them all whipped in to shape
During her life as leader of the Clan we moved a further 3 times until we settled here and she and the other Clan members became our focus during the househunt, most estate agents thought we were mad when the Clan cats and dogs were our prime concern for a house, luckily Robin upped our budget - we took on another mortgage or rather we sold our souls to buy the perfect home no neighbours, woods, a huge garden, a paddock, not near any roads and very cat friendly oh and dogs to
She led the Clan with a paw of iron, she could part the cats when she walked in to a room
She trained a further 2 dogs in Sky and Sunny who know their place and both adored her
She developed Diabetes and mastered all that came with it, fortunately her Number 2 the late great Tiger had us trained in the diabetes thing having been our first one
She spent the last year of her life in a heated bed on the couch between her parents, she also trained her last kittens Baby Charlie and Echo Beach to be Mummy's boys and she adored Echo who spent his first months all curled up with her in her heated bed
She advised me she was ready to go the day after her Daddy flew to Hull but after long discussions and visits from the vet she agreed to wait till her Daddy could be with us for the end, he felt cheated as Toerag was killed by the RTA and Tiger died in my arms at the vet and he needed to be here for the last of our 3 originals for him more than me and Sweetie and he managed after a lot of swapping stuff and getting a flight to be here and spend some time with his precious girl
She passed peacefully and had her parents with her and she left the most gaping hole in my heart and my life and we both miss her every day she had me hook line and sinker for 19 years and I would give the world for one more purr and cuddle
She is proudly displayed on our cat wall in my study along with her other Clan members already at the bridge
So my darling girl a few lines to say how wonderful and precious you were and still are to all of us, most of the Clan followed you with total loyalty and love and repsect and I can say they are better for having known you, the others who have joined sice you went are told tales of how wonderful you were
