The Bottom Line She really does deserve the best.

Please, God, not again
She’s only 12 and my best friend
You took the other not long ago
And now you want this one
I won’t let go.

Bronchitis, pneumonia,
Liver problems, more
I force feed you
To keep you
Can you take anymore?

Two weeks ago
You were fine
Not a problem in sight
It’s sad how sick you got
Simply overnight.

Am I selfish to keep you?
Not let your body
Shut down?
I love you so much
I want to keep you around.

Please pray for my Fifi
She deserves the best
She’s the picture on my profile
My Scottish Fold treasure chest.

We had to make a very hard decision for Fifi. To me this decision is the very hardest part of pet ownership. We had to have her put to sleep. 

She was a 16 1/2 year old Scottish Fold purebred cat. She really was the sweetest thing, the best patient, and we were blessed by her presence. We were so lucky she came into our lives.

It truly was the right decision, but that doesn't make it any easier. It doesn't make me not miss her. It's only been a week, and I can still see her out of the corner of my eye, trying to sneak into the bathroom to get a drink from the sink. I know some day I'll get to the place where I'll smile when I think of her instead of cry.

I do believe that she had extra lives. She really did almost die over 4 years ago when I wrote the original poem on this post. I was able to bring her back. I feel like I got an extra 4 1/2 years with her, and for that I am grateful.
