Tribute For Snuggles
The story of how Snuggles came to live wih us. I had just had my little Chinese Pug "Spanky" put to sleep and I still had the horse but said there would not be anymore house pets because I didn't want to be hurt anymore.But I should not say never because about a yr. later I decided I needed something to hold in my lap and the horse was a little out of the question,altho' I would have had him in the house if it had been possible....LOL
So I decided maybe a kitten would be fun ,had been a long time since I had one. Off to the Humane Society I went to pick one out .Well at first I wanted them all and then I saw two darling little grey tabby kittens, they were about 12 wks old., one girl and one boy. I finally decided on the girl because she purred for me. From the day I brought her home about 12 yrs ago she always Snuggled up next to me everynight and purred herself and me to sleep and that is why I named her "Snuggles".
She and I had quite a bond and she treated me like I was her Mom. She learned to talk to me with all her meowing when she tried to tell me what she wanted. Some of her favorite things were being brushed, lying in the garden window and watching the birds, and later when our Chihuahua puppy "Peanut came along she even learned to accept and play with her
that is until she got too sick. She always had been a very healthy kitty but suddenly she got real sick and the vet did tests and found out she had Chronic kidney failure with not much hope. She started failing pretty fast and towards the end was hardly eating at all so she was losing weight rapidly .We were getting read to move into a new home and I prayed she would hang on long enough so we could take her there after she went so she could rest in the garden
and be near us always. Well she made it but today Nov.6,2001 I had make the decision to send her off to Rainbow Bridge to be with my horse and all my other pets .She was so comforting and helped me thru the loss of my horse, Casper and now Peanuts is helping me thru the loss of my Snuggles .
My heart is sad once again ,my little Snuggle kitty. I will miss your warm furry body purring next to me tonite. I love you ,my sweet Baby, and please give Casper and Spanky and the others a kiss for me and tell them,Mom misses them when you meet them at Rainbow Bridge.
Forever Nancy and Family
